Samantha
Brennan
How can I want a woman so bad when she represents everything I despise? I can’t get her out from under my skin and I’m not entirely sure I want to. But there’s more at stake here than meets the eye. I’ve got responsibilities and she’s got secrets. Together, we’re destined for disaster, but I’m willing to risk it all for her, the problem is, I don't know if she’s willing to risk anything for me.

Excerpt
He
crowded me from behind and I had to lean way back to take him all in. He was
tall, already covered that. I would guess around six foot three. He was wearing
a leather jacket, open, and I could make out an amazing chest packaged between
two very broad shoulders. He was wearing a worn, black V-neck T-shirt with a
sprinkling of dark hair visible across his chest. When I could tear my depraved
eyes off of that site, I moved them upward and got totally stuck on his chin.
Covered in a full—but totally styled and clean cut—beard that was calling out
for me to touch it. I lifted a tremulous hand up towards him, completely
oblivious of the danger in his eyes, and attempted to cop a feel of that
fascinating part of his face.
Unfortunately,
or fortunately, he grabbed my wrist before I could make contact and gave me a
sharp squeeze. “Ow! Hey, let go.”
“You’re
cut off, Princess.”
“Who
the hell are you?” I emphasized my point with my free hand, poking him in the
chest. “And why do you think,” poke, “that you can tell me,” poke, “what to
do?” Double extra hard poke.
I
heard a loud snicker coming from behind the bar, mixed with a low growl that
was coming from the man in front of me. “Ryan,” he said. “Can you please inform
this girl that she is cut off, and to vacate my pub immediately?”
“Girl?” I tried to make my hand slap him, but drunk
me was no match for this guy.
“Right
away, boss.” I turned to look at Ryan, who was still smiling, albeit with a
small amount of guilt twinkling in his eyes. “Sam, darlin’, I can’t serve you
any more alcohol, by decree of this here man, my boss and the current owner of
Murphy’s pub. Now, can I call you a taxi?”
“Son
of a bitch. I can’t catch a break today. No, Ryan, thank you ever so much for
your wonderful service and hospitality, but I gotta go.”
“Sam,
it’s pouring rain outside.”
“It’s
fine. I’ll be fine.” I turned to gather my coat, but encountered resistance
from the mountain man still holding my wrist. “Let go of me.”
“No.”
He was glaring at me as if I had done something wrong, when clearly he was the
one in the wrong, and by the look of him lived dangerously close to the wrong
side of the law.
I
pushed off and up from my perch, as best I could in my condition and
considering he was crowding me, let me tell you, it wasn’t an easy feat. I was
tall, close to five foot ten, so I gathered up my liquid courage and attempted
to go toe to toe with the jerk. “I said, let go. Now.”
