Excerpt 1

“You know,” Rafe said, “if you’re interested in doing something artistic for a living, I’m sure we could find something for you in the art department at Ranier Industries.” Melanie smiled. “There you go trying to help me out again. You know, you’re not responsible for me.” 

“You’re right, but I’d like to help. Not because I feel obligated. I think you’re talented and just need a chance to shine. I’d love to help you do that.” 

“Did you want help when you broke away from the company and went off on your motorcycle to find yourself?” 

His lips quirked up. “No, but I have a big bank account to fall back on. And the family business. You have to play it closer to the edge. But I get it. You want to do it on your own.” 

She smiled and took a sip of her drink. “Talking about your time away, how was it playing your guitar in front of huge audiences?” 

His eyes glowed. “It was a pure adrenaline rush.” 

She grinned. “A few months ago, I never would have been able to imagine Rafe Ranier, businessman, always impeccably dressed in a designer suit, playing guitar with a rock band in front of screaming fans, but after seeing you with your tattoos and leather jacket, and riding the big motorcycle . . .” She shrugged. “I still say you inspire me.” 

He leaned forward. “I like that.” 

The intensity of his gaze unsettled her. “If I can be some part of you breaking free and finding yourself, that makes me feel good.” 

She gazed into his sky blue eyes, her heartbeat increasing. “I’m glad I make you feel good.” 

He was so close. With his broad shoulders and impressive height, she felt tiny in comparison. She felt the pull of his masculinity as she leaned a little closer. Heat simmered in his eyes as his face drew nearer, then he tipped up her chin. Her breath held as his lips brushed hers. Lightly. Tenderly. Then his mouth moved on hers. She breathed in his musky male scent mixed with leather and mint. The tip of his tongue teased her lips and she opened. Her arms swept around his neck as he slid into her mouth. His hands glided around her waist and he drew her closer. Her eyelids fell closed as she felt his arms envelop her. 

Oh, God, this was really happening. She was in Rafe Ranier’s arms. They were alone in her apartment and he was kissing her. Her bedroom was only yards away. She curled her tongue around his and stroked it. Weak with need, she melted against him. His mouth drew away and she opened her eyes. 

He seemed uncertain. “Melanie, are you sure—”
