We have an excerpt from Tracy Solheim’s release, SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY. Enjoy!
He brushed her cheek with his finger then reached around to pull her in for a kiss, but she quickly pulled away, taking giant step back.
“No,” she said, her voice breathless. “No more. We had our walk down memory lane, but that’s all it was. We were both tired and overwrought and we lost our heads.”
He arched an eyebrow at her. “I have never been nor will I ever be ‘overwrought’.”
Bridgett’s eyes narrowed and she released an exasperated huff. “No, but you are insufferable. You wore me down once, but it won’t happen again. You are a client. Nothing else can or will happen.” She jerked her chin up in the air defying him to argue with her.
Jay felt a grin break out—not to mention a very nice hard on begin to develop—at her belligerent stance. “That would have sounded a lot tougher if I didn’t have your panties in my pocket.”
Her eyes went wide and wild as she tried to stomp past him, muttering words that sounded both dangerous and sexy. She didn’t get far though. Jay wrapped his fingers around her arm and maneuvered her back against the wall of the plane, just out of the sight line for the door. She opened her mouth to protest but Jay silenced her words with his own lips. He feasted on her mouth, tasting tea and mint and a well satisfied woman. She could have resisted him, likely doing serious damage with those weapons that doubled as shoes, but after a token slap on the chest, her fingers curled into his suit jacket and she was putty in his hands. Jay worked his thigh between her legs and she made a sweet sound at the back of her throat that had him agonizingly hard.
Voices on the tarmac brought him back to his senses. As much as they both seemed to want one another, they’d have to wait. The idea of having her naked in a bed soon would have to sustain him through the crazy day he had ahead of him. Breaking their kiss, he ran his lips along her neck as she blew out gasping breaths.
Jay tugged at her ear with his teeth. “We’re not done, Bridgett. Not even close. I’m beginning to think we never were. Go. Take care of your family while I go take care of mine. But this is going to happen again. Count on it.”
He pulled back abruptly and wrapped his fingers around her elbow, guiding her to the metal steps leading off the plane to the tarmac. Ron was waiting to intercept her at the bottom. Jay watched as his pilot led her to the waiting Town Car. Bridgett walked purposefully toward the car without looking back. Jay bit back a smile, confident that he’d won that round.
The author of Risky Game returns with a football team owner who’s a real player, and the woman who’s ready to call him out on everything…
Dot-com millionaire Jay McManus is discovering that owning a pro football team like the Baltimore Blaze isn’t easy. An anonymous blogger is out to destroy his reputation, and now his team is being sued by its own cheerleaders. If Jay’s not careful, he could lose big—and not just financially.
Bridgett Janik’s brother may play for the Baltimore Blaze, but she’s not thrilled to be defending Jay McManus, the man who broke her heart. It’s bad enough she has to mingle with Jay during games, but working beside her former lover may be too much for her body—and her heart—to resist.
Jay’s determined not to let Bridgett slip away from him a second time. But, as the two follow the mysterious blogger’s trail, secrets—both past and present—are revealed, and Jay and Bridgett must decide if their relationship can be something more than just sleeping with the enemy.
Tracy’s creative writing career started in the fourth grade when she published her first book. It was a bestseller–mainly because her dad bought all ten copies. From there, she moved on to work for NBC Sports and then to writing reports and testimony for Congress.
Today, Tracy is the author of best selling contemporary romance novels featuring hot football players and the women who love them.
She lives in Georgia, with her husband, two nearly adult children, and a horse named after her first novel: Game On.
