About Risk It:
As
dominating in business as he is in bed, Rand Sterling Winston, IV, always gets
what he wants. And even before he realizes that she’s scammed him into paying
triple the cost for her friend’s painting, he wants Dani Michaels. To catch her
alone, Rand demands she personally deliver his purchase. The attraction between
them is immediate and electric, and he knows she feels it, too. So when the
part-time petty thief rebuffs his advances, he gives her a choice: a night in
jail or an evening with him.
Despite
her checkered past, Dani has never met someone like Rand: brooding, intense,
and oh-so tempting. Only a man with a broken soul could make losing control
feel this dangerous. Still, when Rand proposes a no-strings, no-holds-barred
affair, Dani’s more than a little intrigued. It’ll be the trickiest con she's
ever run and a chance to indulge her steamiest fantasies—nothing more. But as
their encounters grow increasingly intimate, Dani uncovers a vulnerable side to
Rand’s steely exterior . . . and opens her heart to the ultimate risk.

Excerpt
“I really must be going.” Dani turned, offering a smile. She
had a clear run at the door, and she gestured to the painting. “I hope you
enjoy it.”
“Let me get you a receipt.”
“That’s not—”
“I insist.” Rand turned to his desk, swiveling the notepad
around and tearing free a loose sheet. He jotted down a quick note of thanks,
signed and dated it. Dani had followed him to the desk.
“Truly, it isn’t necessary, Mr. Winston,” she said as he
handed it to her. She opened her purse, and he heard the telltale buzz of her
silenced phone. She didn’t even look at it, but the effect it had on her was
instantaneous, her artfully easy manner now going tight as a drum.
“Necessary,” he mused, and something in his voice made her
glance up sharply. The shiver of control it took for her not to step back from
him was obvious, but Rand wasn’t about to let her get away a second time. “And
do you always do only what is necessary?”
“Saves time, she said again. But her eyes were on his lips,
and he felt the attraction between them like a living thing. He lifted a hand,
and while her body didn’t flinch, her eyes did.
Another surge of emotion blazed through him, this one
hotter, less controlled. He didn’t understand that flinch of hers, the reflex
she could not quite quell. But he knew the reaction wasn’t about him, and he
wanted her to only think of him in
this moment—to have the same intensity of emotion, the same nerves, the same
trepidation, even a little fear. He didn’t mind her fearing him. He expected
it. But the nature of that fear was what intrigued him.
“Ah, fuck it,” Dani said, startling him again. She stepped
into his body, reaching up to draw his head toward hers. “I don’t have all
goddamned night.”
She kissed him, hard, and the spears of desire touched
together at their tips, igniting Rand with need. Still, he didn’t move forward,
just let Dani pull him closer in, sensing that the deepening of the kiss was
something she hadn’t planned for. His hands went naturally to her waist, and
felt large against the curve of her hips, anchoring her almost possessively.
She pulled away—or tried to, her body leaning back even as he kept her still
and tight. Her smile was satisfied against his lips, and understanding lit through
him. She’d won, he realized. By controlling the kiss between them, by taking
the initiative and coming to him, instead of waiting for him to come to her,
she had won.
“Was that what you wanted, Miss Michaels?” he asked, and he
deliberately kept the teasing challenge in his voice.
She drew in a sharp breath, but didn’t take the bait.
“Everything I could have hoped for,” she said, leaning back with a smug grin.
“He lifted his brows. “Did I just experience sexual
harassment?”
Dani’s smile flashed a little more broadly now. “I do
apologize, sir. I was just so swept away.”
“Hmm.” He eyed her. “You didn’t seem terribly swept away. I
must be losing my touch. Perhaps I should try again.”
