Enter to Win a Bag of Swag from Cathryn Fox
He may be at a romance readers’ convention, but a naked woman in the elevator is not what horror writer Ryan Wheeler expects. Now he can’t take his eyes off of her—and not just because he saw her naked, though her luscious curves certainly aren’t helping the matter. She’s beautiful, funny, snarky…and a complication he doesn’t need.
Running into her teen heartthrob while naked wasn’t exactly part of romance novelist Andi Palmer’s weekend plans. Worse, he doesn’t recognize her and gives her a fake name. Years ago, he shot her down in the worst possible way, and now this? It’s time for a little down-and-dirty revenge.
Ryan’s more than a little turned on by this good girl who wants to be bad. But things aren’t what they seem, and the secrets they’re keeping from one another might just end this sexy little rendezvous before it
ever begins…

Quiet
as a church mouse, her hands slowly moved to her buttons. Maybe she
could get dressed before he turned.
He
turned.
Frig.
His
eyes latched on hers. Then grew wider. The ocean blue turbulence
she’d once lost herself in dropped to her cleavage, then lower,
over her midriff to her panties. Was that a smirk? Bastard.
Okay, so apparently bad things came in fives.
“Uh,
sorry.” His gaze shot back up and he cleared his throat. He set his
duffle bag on the floor and shook his phone like it was some pithy
excuse. “I didn’t realize you were there.”
Andi’s
molars snapped together. Of course he didn’t. Why would he? After
all, when it came right down to it, she was insignificant, wasn’t
she? Determined to keep the upper hand on this less than thrilling
encounter, she unclamped her teeth and held her finger up, drawing a
circle in the air. “You think you could turn around?”
“Oh.
Yeah, sure.”
She
stood tall—well as tall as she could at five foot five—and
planted her hands on her hips like getting changed in an elevator was
something she did every day. “Today?”
He
smiled, flashing perfect white teeth. “Right,” he said, his
friendly smile shifting to apologetic. Instead of turning, his glance
flicked over her a second time. A gentleman, he was not. His lips
twitched, the look on his face morphing into an appreciative smile.
Score one for the granny panties. Still, it didn’t make her hate
him any less.
He
leaned to his left just as the elevator jumped again. It came to an
abrupt halt and she lurched forward. Her body hit Nolan’s and the
two toppled like bowling pins. A breathless, undignified oomph rushed
from her lips as she landed on top of the main reason she’d left
their hometown of Cedar Point eight years ago. The motor kicked in
again, and the box continued to bob up and down. Her body moved right
along with it, bouncing on top of Nolan like a goddamn Mexican
jumping bean. Her tote bag flipped over, and her agenda and papers
spilled onto the floor.
His
arm slipped around her back, holding her to him as their groins
banged. Bangity,
bang, bang.
She pinched her eyes shut. Please doors do not open again. Not
because she was enjoying the ride. She wasn’t…she didn’t think.
But because if they opened now, anyone standing on the other side
would definitely get the wrong idea. Honestly, how could they not?
They would be the prime photo op, posted and shared on social media
sites. She’d never be able to face her friends, fans, industry
professionals, if they thought she was dry humping some former crush
on the elevator floor.
She
braced her hands on the floor and held on, eyes closed. If the
hydraulics let go this second and the elevator crashed to the
basement, that’d be A-okay in her books. Breathe,
Andi, just breathe.
She tried not to think about the well built, athletic man beneath
her, or how he’d just splayed his hand over the small of her back,
or how good his fingers felt pressing into her flesh. His fingers
stretched downward, and another rough jolt caused them to slip under
the band of her panties. Was that…? Had he just lifted his hips?
Twice?
