Date with a Diva

Book #4 of the Single in South Beach series

Blaze
June 2004

The hottest date he's ever had!

Lainie Reynolds's long-ignored libido has picked a fine time to wake up. Just when she's got her hands full at her sexy singles resort Nico Cesare is in her face. The sexy man definitely is to blame for her out-of-control hormones. Since he won't be ignored, she'll simply have to tackle him to the sheets and get him out of her system.

The first time he lays eyes on South Beach's infamous Diva, Nico suspects there's a sensual goddess lurking beneath Lainie's do-not-touch exterior. And he has to have her. She's agreed to a sultry affair, but has made it clear that she's too independent for anything more. But Nico's already in deep and a series of suspicious incidents at the resort give him the perfect opportunity to be with her day and night. What better way to show her that this kind of heat lasts for a long time?

Sneak preview--

........Nico stared down at her with dark, smoldering eyes.

"Damn but you're hot."

Lainie reached out for him impatiently. "How would you know when you're not even close enough to touch?"

He fell on her with a speed that would have done his sport proud. God knows it pleased her no end. He stretched out next to her on the lounger, molding his body to hers as they lay on their sides, facing one another. His hand tugged down the zipper on her skirt. "How about this? Is this close enough?"

"Not nearly, and you know it." She wriggled her hips to ease the zipper down all the faster. "Don't start something you can't finish."

Steering the skirt over her hips and down her thighs, he stared into her eyes as if he could see every secret hidden inside her. "Don't worry about me finishing. I'm just going to make damn sure that it's you who finishes first."
