Synopsis:
Learning to trust again is the hardest thing to do.
Ana Perrot is crazy. Crazy about sex, and pleasing her lovers. She is passionate and as fiery as her red hair. She eats men like air. She is also willing to submit to any man anywhere. But outside of the bedroom, Ana is an independent woman who lives her own life by her own rules. And, her biggest rule . . . she won’t do long term relationships. She refuses to fall in love . . . again.
Teddy O’Rourke is an easy going, laid back Tampa bartender at one of the most popular clubs in town. All about family and enjoying life including all the women that throw themselves at his feet, he has no problems finding willing partners. His football player body, his personality, his warm hazel eyes all ooze sex appeal. He is the perfect package in every way for a woman like Ana, well for any woman really. An ex-cop, his instincts tell him Ana is one hell of a woman, but she is wounded and scarred by the past. What are her secrets? What will make her trust him? Why is she so afraid to love?
A one night stand, that is full of surprises for Teddy, opens his eyes to new possibilities. A single man enjoying his freedom meets his match in the bedroom, and elsewhere. He sees a future with Ana, a counselor for troubled youth. But could she be persuaded to fall . . . and to trust again?

Amanda's 5 Star Review
I read this as a Beta reader for MJ, and I have to tell you
this book is amazing! I love the storyline
and the plot thickens throughout. We
first meet Ana in Fire in His Eyes when she takes her sister out for a night on
the town. Ana is a fiery red head with
the personality to match, and she plays the game by her rules. Until she meets the man that changes
everything.
Teddy
is the hot bartender at the club where they go to dance the night away. Have a little fun, but he is the last thing
Ana expects to sweep her off her feet.
She was looking for a night of fun, but what she gets will leave her
running scared. Will Teddy be able to
help Ana realize she is someone worth loving?
Or will Ana Always be afraid to love?

Excerpt
“My name
is Ana,” she said coolly as she leaned in and nodded in answer to his question,
batting her eyelashes just a tad. He smiled.
Teeth white, and straight.
He knew
her sudden bashfulness was a ploy. He
knew the game. “What will it be,
Ana?” He said her name slowly, drawing
out each sound, each letter.
“Let me
have Sex on the Beach,” she
answered. Then looking him straight in
the eye. “I like sex on the beach,” she added.
He
smiled at her again, and without looking at the ingredients began to make her
drink. “Too sandy,” he chuckled, and then turned to go get the remaining
ingredients to fill her order.
She
watched his behind as he worked facing the wall of liquor behind him, and heat
pooled in her loins. This man was truly
a fine specimen. Thirty, she thought. And
that was okay with her. She was
thirty-four, so the age difference wasn’t too bad. She liked them a little younger anyway. They were easier to control and more readily
agreed to her conditions, her rules.
Before
she was prepared for it, he turned back towards her, and the sight of him
almost took her breath away. He gave her
one of his dazzling smiles, revealing dimples in his cheek, and a slight cleft
in his chin. Bar towel in one hand, he
wiped the counter in front of her again.
Next, he placed a napkin down in front of her, and placed her drink on
it. Her mouth had suddenly gone dry. She
leaned in to take a sip of the refreshing cocktail, not picking up the glass,
but leaning low to give him a better view of her cleavage. She wanted to turn the tables back to her
side again, regain control. She was glad
she had worn this dress; it was red. The
green amulet swinging enticingly between her breasts was small enough to not
distract from the view she was offering.
She felt his eyes on her like lasers.
“Delicious,”
she purred licking her lips then straightened up suddenly. She caught him ogling her breasts like a
school boy, and he blushed. Gotcha, she thought as she watched his
Adam’s apple bob while he swallowed, hard.
“So the
beach is too sandy for you. How about a big bed?” she asked innocently, but
then leaned in again to take another sip.
She kept her head tilted to the side not breaking eye contact. There was definite electricity.
