“That’s the funny thing about rules… They’re all the more fun when they get broken.” All I want is one night of crazy. Something to forget business, to forget my family obligations. And the moment I see him, I know he’s my distraction. Mr. Oh-So-Delicious, whose compelling dark eyes promise all the decadent sin I could want. To hell with doing what’s right all the time. For one night, I am giving myself over to the possibilities—and to him. No names, no “real” talk…just wild, no-holds-barred sex. Then I find out the truth. My naughty one-nighter is actually Marcus Wright, my new business partner. And worse—he knew. Now we’re playing with fire, our business days filled with suggestive teasing and the promise of wicked pleasures. Neither of us can stop the rush of hot desire, the need to touch and taste each other. There’s no off switch. And it’s a dangerous game that could cost us everything. But there’s something else happening between us. Something I can’t stop. Because now my heart is on the line, and my too-sexy Mr. Wright is either Mr. Wrong…or the best mistake of my life. Sexy. Passionate. Bold. Discover Harlequin Dare, a new line of fun, edgy and sexually explicit romances for the fearless female.
