He jerked his stare from her mouth to her eyes, his jaw bunching.

Rowan stared back at him, unmoving. Motionless.

Fuck. He wanted her. Right at this sodding moment, he wanted her more than breath. On a carnal level. On a filthy level. He wanted to bury his cock in her pussy and fuck her until she screamed his name with release. He wanted—

“I don’t want to be attracted to you.” Her voice was steady. Direct.

Aslin sucked in a sharp breath, her abrupt statement like a punch to the guts.

“Being attracted to anyone isn’t part of my plans,” she continued as if discussing the weather. “I don’t have time for it. But…” She stopped, her teeth catching her bottom lip.

“You are,” Aslin finished for her, his groin a thick knot, his heart pounding. “You are attracted to me.”

Rowan nodded, her gaze holding his. “Yes. Very. I’ve tried to play it cool, but I’ve spent most of the night thinking about what it would be like to fuck you. To be fucked by you.”

The thick tension in Aslin’s groin throbbed. Hard. Urgent. Demanding attention. He swallowed, every muscle in his body coiled. “And?”

“And I think the best course of action is to find out. As soon as possible.” She paused. For a heartbeat. “If you’re interested.”

If you’re interested.

The question hung on the air. Aslin stared at her. Was she kidding? It was all he could do not to shove the table between them away, snare her ponytail in his fist and crush her mouth with his. His cock was a pole of rigid agony. His blood roared in his ears.

If you’re interested.

“Well? Are you?” Her soft voice played over his scorched nerve-endings. Her American accent sent fresh lust into his balls.

Without a word, he rose to his feet and rounded the table to stand before her.

Desire like this wasn’t in the script…

 

Heart of Fame, Book 3

Small-screen sex symbol Chris Huntley is on the fast track to becoming the next big action-blockbuster movie star. When his latest movie takes him to Australia for a red-carpet premiere, he thinks he’s ready for anything.

But nothing could have prepared him for his raw, carnal response to his Aussie bodyguard. Sexual attraction to a man is a first for Chris. Now he realizes why his relationships with women have never felt quite…complete.
 

Liev Reynolds is comfortable with his bisexuality, but his attraction to Chris is an inconvenience he must ignore. For starters, there’s his professional ethics. Then there’s the long trail of female broken hearts in Chris’s wake.

Hard as they both try to keep their minds on their jobs, desire and a little matchmaking tip them over the edge. But Hollywood endings aren’t real life. And when the truth leaks out, their careers aren’t the only collateral damage.

 

Warning: A hunky Hollywood sex symbol. A smoldering, stubborn Australian. A desire so powerful it cannot be denied. A kiss. And a photograph. This
isn’t
your normal boy-meets-boy story.
