Max Andrade: Rich, bold, unapologetic. He is a man who doesn’t hear the word no until he meets Tara. In his obsession to have her, he’ll offer her anything except his heart.
Tara
Holmes: Outspoken,
hardworking, levelheaded. She makes her living by exposing unfaithful
spouses. She doesn’t believe in love, especially not with a man who
sees her as nothing more than a challenge.
When
Madison D’Argenson
hires Tara to uncover the truth about Aunt Patrice, Tara is pulled
into Max’s world.
How
far would you go to help a man who doesn’t want to be helped?
And
how long would you give yourself over to the pleasure of his touch if
you knew it would end as soon as he discovered your lie?
Excerpt:
“I told you I don’t do relationships,” he said and couldn’t
believe the words had come out of his mouth.
“You did,” she said simply, and walked past him to look out the
window for the car.
He went to stand beside her. “I never lied to you.”
She shrugged and continued to look out the window.
Fight it as he did, he couldn’t deny how much he wanted to turn her
around, pull her into his arms, and kiss her until they found a way
past this. He didn’t, though. Instead, he muttered, “I have
nothing to feel sorry about.”
She turned back toward him, her eyes flashing with temper. “You
think I want an apology from you? Please spare me. I’m not angry
with you. I’m angry with me. You are the same man I met in this
very foyer and told myself to forget about. You’re right. You told
me who you were and what you wanted. I am the one who made up an
entirely different and completely fictional version of you.” She
waved her hands sarcastically in the air. “I absolve you of all
wrongdoing. Are you happy now?”
“No,” he growled and grabbed one of her arms. “I’m not happy
with any of this.”
She leaned in and growled right back at him, “Good, at least you’re
willing to admit that much.”
“I don’t want you here,” he said angrily.
“Then let go of my arm,” Tara snapped back.
“But I don’t want you to leave,” he said just as curtly. He
tightened his grip on her arm.
“Then ask me to stay,” she said, her tone still angry.
A horn blared in the driveway announcing the arrival of the car he’d
called to take her to the airport. He and Tara stood in a silent
standoff, their ragged breathing the only sound in the large foyer.
Outside the car blared its horn again.
“Is your name actually Tara?” he asked softly.
“Yes. Almost everything I said to you was true. The only part that
was a lie was how I met Maddy and why I was spending so much time
with her.”
“Dyson?”
“He’s Brigitte’s . . . whatever. If last night went how Dyson
hoped, they’re having breakfast together right now.”
“I won’t make you any promises.”
Tara said, “Do you know what I do for a living? Normally, I mean? I
follow unfaithful men around and provide photographic proof of their
infidelity to their wives. I probably wouldn’t believe any vows if
you made them.”
Max frowned. He didn’t like her answer. He didn’t know what he
wanted her to say, but he knew that wasn’t it. He needed to somehow
get back in control of the conversation. “We’ll keep things
casual.”
For a moment he thought she wasn’t pleased with that idea, but she
said, “Casual. Perfect. We both do what we want when we want and
don’t worry about what either of us are doing when we’re not
together.”
Max liked that comment even less. “You’re not sleeping with
anyone else while you’re with me.”
Tara put a hand on one hip and cocked her head to the side. “Casual
means you don’t have a say in what I do, or who I do, when I’m
not with you.”
Max glared down at Tara.
She glared up at him.
He couldn’t take it anymore; he picked her up and started carrying
her back up the stairs to the bedroom.
She wrinkled her nose at him, her eyes warming as the same need that
had overtaken him began to spread through her. “The car is going to
leave.”
“Good,” he said, breathing in the heavenly scent of her hair and
imagining how it would feel on his thigh as those luscious lips of
hers closed around his cock.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered, “Is this your
way of asking me to stay?”
He grinned down at her. “No, I’ll ask by licking that ***** of
yours until you come in my mouth.”
She hid her face in his neck, but he saw her blush and smile as she
did. “That works for me.”

Author Bio:
Ruth Cardello was
born the youngest of 11 children in a small city in northern Rhode
Island. She spent her young adult years moving as far away as she
could from her large extended family. She lived in Boston, Paris,
Orlando, New York--then came full circle and moved back to Rhode
Island. She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born
in. For her, family trumped the warmer weather and international
scene.
She was an educator
for 20 years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher. When her school
district began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her
second love- writing and has never been happier. When she's not
writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm,
riding her horses, or connecting with her readers online.
