Summary:
Selling his soul for a sizzling night of passion…
“Wanting something doesn’t make it good for you.”
Wealthy horse breeder Ajax Rawson can have any woman he wants. So why can’t he keep his hands off the one woman he can’t have?
Beautiful, independent and passionate, Veda Darnel is the daughter of his family’s biggest competitor.
Years of bad business blood makes their affair dangerous…and forbidden. But will accusations of foul play end their star-crossed romance before it even begins?
Excerpt from ONE NIGHT WITH HIS RIVAL:
“If you want to leave, you’re going the wrong way,” Ajax said, tipping his
head toward the house. “Cars are parked over there.”
Taken aback, Veda blinked a few times before responding. “I wasn’t leaving. I
needed some air.”
He forced a grin. “Like you needed air the night we met on that balcony a
month ago.”
Her knockout dress shimmered in the moonlight as she straightened. “Has it
been that long?”
“Yup. That long.”
After changing, Ajax had returned to the party pavilion in time to catch a
flash of her lipstick red dress as Veda dashed out the back. Of course, he had
followed. He wanted to make sure she was all right. And, yes, he had also seen
an opportunity to broach another sensitive matter. Namely, what the hell had
happened after Saratoga? Why hadn’t she accepted his calls?
Clearly, Veda wanted to avoid the subject.
“So, what are you doing out here in the dark?” she asked.
Ajax slid both hands into his pants pockets. “Psyching up for party mode?”
“Well, at least you’re dressed for it now.”
His smile was slow. “You saw me earlier?”
Her gorgeous green eyes widened before she visibly gathered herself again
and offered a cool reply. “You got changed in record time.”
“I’d already showered at the office.” Grinning, he propped a shoulder against
a nearby oak and crossed one ankle over the other. “I don’t mind the smell of
hay and horse, but I’m not sure the guests would appreciate it much.”
When her gaze dipped to his mouth, he remembered back to that night and
words she had murmured while nuzzling him from his chest all the way down.
You smell so good. And taste even better.
As if she was remembering, too, Veda threw a glance toward the lights and
music. “I should get back.”
“I’ll walk with you.” He pushed off the oak before adding, “If that’s okay.”
After a second’s hesitation, she made a face like it was no big deal. “Sure,”
she said. “Why not.”
As they headed back down a lit path, he set a leisurely pace. After the flowers
and phone messages—after the multiple times she had come apart in his arms
that wild night—had she even considered dropping him a line?
He studied her profile—straight nose, lush lips, laser-beam focus. And then
there was that jaw-dropping dress. He couldn’t help but imagine sliding the
fabric from her shoulders, tracing the contours of her breasts with his lips…with
his tongue…
