Josie couldnât wait to make love with Adam again
She turned around in bed to kiss himâ¦and saw a stranger staring back at her! Josie screamed in horror, scrambling out of the bed and dragging the black satin sheet with her.
The man arched a dark brow as he sat up on one elbow. âIs something wrong?â
This couldnât be happening to her. This naked man before her was not Adam Delaney. Her boyfriend had blond hair and blue eyes. This stranger had thick brown hair and keen brown eyes that seemed to penetrate the sheet in front of her. She sucked in a deep breath. âThereâs been a horrible mistake.â
He blinked at her words and reached for his navy blue boxer shorts. âItâs a little late for regrets now, isnât it?â
He couldnât begin to know how much she regretted last night. When sheâd stolen in to her boyfriendâs dark bedroom, she certainly hadnât expected there to be another man in it! âWho are you?â
âDonât you remember calling out my name last night?â He met her gaze. âI am Adam Delaney.â
Dear Reader,
A dark night. Satin sheets. Sexy lingerie. All the necessary ingredients for an incredible night of passion. Only, Josie Sinclairâs perfect seduction plan doesnât include finding a stranger in her boyfriendâs bed! A man who wonât let her forget how perfect they are together.
Josieâs a âplay-it-safeâ librarian who does anything to avoid getting burned. Adamâs a âlive-for-adventureâ photographer whoâs always playing with fire. Neither one of them expects the chemistry between them to flare so quickly out of controlâ¦.

JOSIE SINCLAIR HELD HER BREATH as she opened the apartment door, wincing at the slight squeal of the hinges. After slipping inside, she didnât breathe again until sheâd closed the door behind her, locking it once more. Then she pocketed the key, debating the risk of switching on a light. She didnât want to do anything that might alert Adam to her presence.
Not until she was ready for him.
A full moon shone through the high-rise window, illuminating a shadowy path into the living room. A sudden hiss permeated the deep silence and Josieâs hand flew to her chest. But it was only Horatio, her boyfriendâs temperamental Siamese. She bent down to pet the cat, her heart still racing in her chest. Her reaction had more to do with nerves than fear. Sheâd never done anything like this before.
Horatio seemed to sense her anxiety, jerking away from her and bounding underneath the sofa. As she rose to her feet, Josie reached into her bag and pulled out the list sheâd made on the flight from Tempe. Lists always made her feel in control and she began to calm down as she found a pen in her bag to check off the first item.
1. Go to Adamâs apartment.
Heâd given her a key weeks ago, but she hadnât worked up the nerve to use it until tonight. Doubts had assailed her on the long drive from the Denver airport, but sheâd stuck one of her motivational tapes into the carâs cassette player and now she was ready for action. Almost. Her gaze moved to the second item on the list.
2. Undress.
With trembling fingers, she untied the silk scarf around her neck, then dropped it into the small bag sheâd brought with her from the airport. The fluttering fabric enticed Horatio, who leaped out from under the sofa and pounced on it immediately, batting at the scarf with his paws.
She tried to take the scarf away from him, but his claws snagged the delicate fabric and she knew it was a lost cause. Ignoring the cat and his new toy, Josie kicked off her shoes before shedding her slacks and blouse. She tucked them all neatly into the bag, then pulled out a sheer red negligee, holding it up in front of her.
The transparent fabric and baby-doll design left little to the imagination, but the saleswoman at the boutique in Tempe had assured her that any man would find it irresistible.
Maybe she shouldnât wear anything at all.
Josie discarded that idea almost as soon as it entered her head. She wasnât that motivated. Her body was far from perfect, with her average bust and full hips. That was one of the reasons she wanted to surprise Adam in the dark. The negligee wouldnât provide much cover, but it was definitely better than nothing.
