Book Description:
Doctorate in hand, Jane Ann
Summers is ready to return to the South Seas paradise
of her youth, when the director of the institute—her mother—drops a bomb. She
cannot return until she experiences more of life...a social life
Determined to waste no time,
Jane searches for a shortcut and discovers the 1Night Stand dating service. A
single night with a Dr. Gerard, geologist…and she can go home and get on with
her fascinating study of world weather trends. The only question is whether to
have sex with him…after all, it would be her first and maybe only time.
Dr. Lukas Gerard’s own field
of study has shown him some alarming trends. He believes a killer earthquake
may rattle the Western half of the United States in the near future. In preparation, he has converted
an abandoned gold mine to a secret bunker, loaded with supplies and all the
comforts of home. Only thing he needs is company in his hideaway. Unsure how to
find the right companion, he turns to 1Night Stand, but neither he nor Jane are
prepared for the sudden impact of one of Madame Eve’s connections.
Maybe there is more to life
than science…for both of them.
Excerpt:
“I need to ask you something first.”
His brow furrowed, but he shrugged. “Okay.”
“Does Madame Eve know the location of your secret
place?” Out there in the dark, with the sprinkle of stars to light the black
velvet night, the reality of proceeding blindfolded into the desert with a
stranger, no matter how attractive, seemed dangerous. If the answer was no, she
would ask him to turn the car around and hope she wasn’t already too late.
“Yes,” he said, in a low voice. “She insisted.” When
she still clutched his arm, he smiled. “I understand caution, let me show you
something.” Lukas reached over her to the center console. So close, his warmth
and the clean scent of soap went to her head. Hang on, Jane. Even if he is the cutest guy you’ve ever met, and smells
so good.
He retrieved his cell phone and clicked to a text
message. “Look at this.”
I have confirmed the
location of your date and we can schedule your evening. I hope you understand
the safety of my clients is paramount, yours as well as Ms. Summers. Thank you
for your cooperation. M.E.
Reassured, Jane faced away from him. “Do it, then.”
She closed her eyes and tried not to flinch as the soft cloth covered her face.
It tightened and then his hands dropped to her shoulders.
“Okay?” His fingers rested on her collarbones, inches
from her breasts. Her eyes strained, but the several folds prevented the least
bit of starlight from entering.
“I can’t see a thing.” But she could still feel his
touch moving down her arms, past her short sleeves,
and onto bare skin. The desert wind soughed; her heart thumped in her ears.
Hyperaware of the man behind her, she waited to see what he would do next.
