How to unravel your straightlaced lover...
Gabe Nelson would be a great district attorney, but his public image is too boring to get voters’ attention. Tattoo artist Devin Padilla can help him show off his fun, sexy side, but she needs something in return—his legal expertise to track down her missing brother. She’s not Gabe’s type, but they can’t keep their hands off each other, whether it’s good for his image or not.
At first, Devin thinks she got the easy end of the bargain. Gabe’s the sexiest stuffed shirt in Manhattan, and his kisses practically set her on fire. But every deal has its fine print. As their relationship goes from business to pleasure, Devin realizes this one won’t cost her soul...it’ll just steal her heart.
“Don’t act like you’re not feeling it, too...”
“This is ridiculous.” Gabe glanced at the night sky and scrubbed a hand across his face.
“You’re the one who wanted to talk.”
“Yeah, well, maybe I was wrong. Maybe the time for talking is over.”
He did a hasty scan of the area then pulled Devin into a nearby doorway, trapping her there with his body. “Ask me again.”
A hot flush spread across her face. “Ask you what?”
“What you asked in the bar.” He leaned in and rested his forehead against hers. “About going back to your place.”
So he was serious. They were really doing this.
Hot damn.
“Do you want to go back to my place?” Bad idea. She was supposed to be putting out the fire smoldering between them. Not dousing it with gasoline.
But what a lovely way to burn...
It’s hard to believe this is my second crack at a Dear Reader letter. I’m thrilled to share book two of the Art of Seduction series with you.
Each of the books in this series has the arts as a backdrop. In Triple Threat it’s theater; in Triple Time it’s the fine arts. Devin Padilla is a tattoo artist/bartender who paints on the sly. Her life’s been tough, and the thing she wants most is to find her brother, separated from her in foster care. But all she’s hit are dead ends.
Assistant district attorney Gabe Nelson has his life planned. But when his would-be fiancée and his boss insinuate that he’s duller than dirt, he starts to have doubts. Then Devin strolls in, all tattoos and piercings and take-no-prisoners attitude. She might need help, but she’s no damsel in distress. When she learns Gabe’s running for the top spot in the DA’s office, she offers him a deal: she’ll help him loosen up so he can win his retiring boss’s endorsement if he helps find her brother.
Devin and Gabe were a blast to introduce in Triple Threat, and I loved telling their story in Triple Time. Theirs is a journey of opposites fighting their attraction every step of the way. I hope you have as much fun following it as I did writing it.
And in December you’ll get to meet Gabe’s twin sister, Ivy, when she returns to Stockton and faces her first and only love—her brother’s best friend, Cade Hardesty.
Until then,
Regina

For Ernie, who never says no to my crazy ideas, even the ones hatched in the midst of a midlife crisis. And Marissa, who showed me how to reach for my dream by grabbing hers with both hands and never letting go. They both put up with more than their fair share of plotting disguised as incoherent muttering, deadline-induced panic, dirty laundry and take-out dinners. And I love them for it.
