When Lyn McKenna started her day in Las Vegas she didn't expect to go to bed in Greece.
Excerpt:
In
observation mode, he walked through the casino, hands in his pockets, listening
and watching, his heart racing. Before the blackjack table at the end of the
row, he paused to reflect and decide on a course of action. The air inside was
sultry, hot and smoke-filled. He swept one hand through his damp hair, fresh
from a summer rain. He forced his mind from the heat and the rancid smell of
cigarettes, and with single-minded focus, stared at the table and the cards
lying innocuously on the green felt.
The
picture of cool calmness, she sat on a bar stool, a drink in hand and cards in
the other, her legs crossed provocatively. Her daringly cut emerald V-neck
dress didn't leave much to the imagination, but he forced his gaze to the man
beyond who stared at her as if he owned her. Every hair on the back of his neck
stood on end and a chill slivered down his spine, nerves on edge, muscles
tensed. His brows furrowed when the man turned his attention, for one brief
moment, his way.
The
dealer gave her another card and she tipped one corner up to look at it then
let it go. Her body language spoke volumes to him and he wondered if the dealer
noticed too. The poker face she so obviously tried for was something she'd
never possess.
Deacon
McClain paused before settling on a bar stool across the table from her. He
waited for the last hand to finish before placing his chips in front of him and
nodding to the dealer he was ready to play. His fingers closed around his glass
of whiskey as his heart thundered in his chest. She glanced his way,
inquisitively cocking her head to one side before slanting him a sexy-as-hell-grin.
The
grin sent a message that nearly catapulted him from his seat. Inhaling a deep
breath to calm his splintering nerves, he turned his attention back to the
cards he'd just been dealt. Not good, not good at all, he motioned for another,
then sat back and gazed at Lyonesse. Lyn McKenna, the woman he'd been sent to
find and bring home. He'd never believed this gig to be an easy one, but now he
felt sure this might be his most difficult assignment of all. Her easy grin
sent his heart into a tailspin and her long shapely legs were hard to ignore.
What would happen if she gave him her full attention?
He'd
lose all sense of perspective and balance.
