He can’t resist the heat!
“I always leave.” Part of the elite Hotshot firefighting team, Cody Mallehan is happy to jump from one dangerous situation to another. Getting attached to anything—or anyone—is the one risk he’s not willing to take. So he carefully nurtures his “bad boy” reputation to keep people at a distance. Until his gorgeous, sexy new landlady tempts him to get very, very close.
Serena Beaumont is busy trying to hang on to her aging but beautiful boardinghouse. A home where she hopes to one day raise a family. She can’t afford lusty thoughts about her newest boarder, his mouthwatering ripped body or his wicked reputation. But even the promise of getting burned won’t stop Serena from seducing the hottest man she’s ever met...
“What are you doing in my bedroom?”
“I’m seducing you,” Cody said.
Serena shook her head. “I’m supposed to do that to you.”
He laughed; she was drunker than he’d thought. But then he remembered her friend’s crazy suggestion. “That’s right. You’re supposed to seduce me.”
“I don’t want to talk...” She reached up and locked her arms around his neck, then she pulled him down on top of her. “I just want you.” Her lips parted as she kissed him.
His body ached for hers. He wanted her so badly. But not like this. He pulled back. “Serena...”
She was definitely awake now, her hands tugging at his shirt and then his belt. Before he could stop her, she pulled it free. The buckle hit the floor with a clank, and she giggled. Then she reached for the button at his waist. He sucked in a breath as her fingers dipped inside.
Did he have the willpower to control his desire?
I hope you’ve been enjoying my Hotshot Heroes series! I’ve been having so much fun writing stories for these sexy firefighters. Wyatt and Dawson weren’t just fighting fires or even their attraction to the women they knew would change their lives. They had to deal with the relentless teasing of their good friend and fellow Hotshot Cody Mallehan.
I have to confess that Cody is my favorite Hotshot. He’s such a flirt. But when I started writing his book, Cody surprised me more than any character has in a long time. I can understand how Serena Beaumont has such a struggle resisting his charms. I hope you enjoy his story as much as I loved writing it.
Happy reading!
