From strictly business to pure pleasure
Stepping up as head of her family’s international security firm gives Francine Blake, heiress and eldest Blake triplet, almost everything she’s ever wanted. The one thing missing is the sexy, stubborn company partner who’s been in her fantasies for too long. She refuses to give in to their attraction unless he can love her as his equal. But working together to safeguard a celebrity client is sweeping Francine closer to total surrender.
Security specialist Meeks Montgomery can think of any number of places he’d love to see gorgeous Francine every day. Behind her desk—fine. In his bed—even better. In the field on dangerous assignments? His heart can’t stand it. Until a new case puts them both in the line of fire, proving how much he’d risk to be the one who protects her forever…
“Are your questions professional or personal?” he asked, his eyes roaming from her heaving chest to her full lips, to stare into her eyes.
Francine’s heart started racing, and her mouth suddenly went very dry as she leaned her head back in order to maintain eye contact. “Depends,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
“On what, exactly?” Meeks whispered as he lowered his head, slowly rubbing his nose along her cheek before capturing her mouth, giving her a slow, gentle kiss that sent shock waves through her body.
The kiss turned deep and purposeful. His hands found her hair clip and released it, allowing her long locks to fall over his long fingers.
Francine was overwhelmed by his scent, his touch and his kiss.
Meeks raised his head slightly and gazed into Francine’s desire-filled eyes. “I’ve wanted to do that all night,” he said before taking her lips again. He released her again but only long enough to add, “Truth be told, I’ve wanted to do that for years.”
Right or wrong, Francine wanted Meeks in this moment more than she’d ever wanted anything in her life. Pushing aside all doubt and fear from her mind, she slid her arms up and around his neck. “Is that all you’ve wanted to do?” she asked, kissing the corner of his jaw.
“Hell no,” he said, his voice deep and commanding. Meeks swept Francine off her feet. “And tonight’s only the beginning.”
When I sat down and penned the first book in The Blake Sisters series, I knew I wanted it to be fun and sexy and send a clear message. What message? Well, I’m going to leave that up to you to figure out.
As a lifelong fan of romance, Mills & Boon books in particular, I enjoy reading and writing stories that infuse an element of intrigue with the pursuit of romance. In Protecting the Heiress, the struggle between Francine and Meeks as they balance their business relationship with a budding personal one is sexy and intense. The constant battles that often exist in these relationships make the emotional roller-coaster ride much more thrilling.
I thoroughly enjoy interacting with readers, so please let me know how you enjoyed Francine and Meeks’s story. You can email me at [email protected] or contact me on Facebook or Twitter. I look forward to bringing you middle sister Farrah Blake’s story very soon.
So until next time,
Martha
