Heat of Passion. Pamela Yaye
Their affair is this exclusive resort’s best-kept secret
Beautiful, ambitious Robyn Henderson fought hard for her place in the sun. Now Belleza Resort’s head event planner is getting ready to pull off the charity event of the season. But when a series of bizarre incidents befall the desert retreat and suspicion points at LA restaurateur Sean Parker, Robyn is convinced he’s innocent. And now her boss’s brother–and secret crush–is drawing her into a sizzling taboo affair.
Sean’s return to the family fold is fraught with pitfalls, especially when he’s wrongly accused. His most passionate ally is his sister’s best friend, a woman Sean has crushed on for years. Aching to make their undercover romance public, he fights to clear his name. As a vengeful adversary plots to destroy his family’s lasting legacy, Sean must decide where his future lies. But can he also convince Robyn to trust in their love?
“I need you in my life, and I’m not afraid to admit it.”
Electricity crackled in the air, engulfed every inch of the apartment. Robyn felt it, and she knew he did, too, when he trailed a finger down her shoulder. Earlier, while Sean was setting the table for dinner, she’d changed into a short sleeveless sundress. Her outfit wasn’t sexy, but that’s how she felt every time Sean touched her.
She had to force her thoughts to form, her words to pass her suddenly dry lips. “Things are moving too fast.”
“We didn’t meet a couple days ago,” he pointed out. “We’ve known each other for years.”
Robyn couldn’t dispute that.
“I’ve had feelings for you from day one, but I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to ruin our friendship.”
“Then why are you here?”
“Because I’m older and wiser, and I know exactly what I want. It’s you, Robyn. I won’t give up on us,” he vowed, lowering his face to hers.
Pressing her hands flat against his chest, she stepped back, out of reach, tried valiantly to keep him at bay. “There is no ‘us.’”
“You’re wrong. There is.”
Robyn opened her mouth, but her protest died on her lips. Before she knew what was happening, Sean grabbed her waist, spun her around and backed her up against the wall.
“I have feelings for you, and I won’t stop until you’re mine.”
The best thing about writing the California Desert Dreams series was all of the great telephone conversations I had with Yahrah St. John (Heat Wave of Desire, June 2015) and Lisa Marie Perry (Hot Summer Nights, July 2015). We didn’t know each other prior to writing the series but we instantly hit it off and I now consider them friends. We worked closely together on this project and I hope you’ll agree that we hit this miniseries out of the park.
Chef extraordinaire Sean Parker is a force to be reckoned with. The more Robyn Henderson tries to resist him, the more he pursues her. And the night Sean arrives unannounced at her resort condo—with dinner, wine and her favorite dessert—Robyn falls victim to her desires and unleashes her inner passion.
Hence the title of this book.
Heat of Passion is a heartfelt love story, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I listened to a lot of Marvin Gaye and Teddy Pendergrass while writing Sean and Robyn’s story, so get ready for a sensual, erotic ride.
I dedicate this book to YOU (loyal readers). Thank you for supporting Mills & Boon Kimani Romance. Your friendship and encouragement mean the world to me, and with each book I hope to make you proud.
All the best in life and love,
Pamela Yaye
