Excerpt
A
number of people filled the courtyard, either finishing a workout or getting
ready to train. Jim stood a short distance away, stretching against the wall of
the building with his head—topped with the dark cap—bent between his arms. Ah,
the perfect opportunity to get payback for the takedown he’d laid on her. Emma
crept up behind him and moved to the side to get a good angle. He looked bigger
in sweats, taller and much more buff. What she’d thought was a little paunch in
his loose shorts proved to be broad, hard muscle in the clinging sweatpants and
T-shirt. Who knew he had such great shoulders? Or such a spectacular ass? She
jerked her eyes away, mortified she’d ogled his behind and even more shocked at
the tingle of awareness—sexual awareness—over Jim, for crying out loud.
Embarrassment put more force behind the sneaky kick than she
intended. She checked her swing, but the blow never even got close. Somehow, he
spun and blocked as she let her foot fly toward his side, knocking her leg away
with his wrist. In the next second, he shoved her against the block wall and
held her in place with his forearm across her throat. Emma stared, shocked,
into Inspector Asher Beaulieu’s angry blue eyes.
Her first thought was thank God I was turned on by him and not Jim. What a great ass. The second was oh, shit.
