WELCOMING THE BAD BOY
Hero's Welcome #3
Annie Rains
Released August 2nd, 2016
Loveswept
From the
bestselling author of Welcome to Forever (“Full of heart and emotion!”—Lori
Wilde) comes a sweet, sexy novel about breaking all the rules. In Seaside,
North Carolina, the boys on the base are heroes—but that doesn’t mean they’re
always well-behaved.
As a preacher’s daughter, Valerie
Hunt only dates the very respectable, very boring men who meet her father’s
strict standards. In private, however, she leads a double life as a romance
writer of steamy stories about the least respectable sorts of men. Valerie has
always kept her hottest fantasies separate from her real life, but when she
nearly runs a hot-blooded biker off the road, the lines begin to blur.
Even though Valerie almost killed
him, Griffin Black can’t be angry after he learns the reason for her distracted
driving: an unruly puppy belonging to her ailing friend. As a member of the
military police K-9 unit, Griffin insists on training the dog himself. But he
soon wonders how he’s ever going to stay disciplined around the most alluring,
down-to-earth, and totally unattainable woman he’s ever met. Valerie is the
ultimate good girl. And Griffin is going to need all his old tricks to unleash
her wild side.

Her
body slid behind his, spooning him. She wrapped her arms around his torso,
clutching him tight, and he took off down the road. The rain beat against his
skin, attempting to cleanse him, but there was no wiping away the dirty
thoughts going through his mind. He took the long way back to his place to feel
her against him longer, and to try to wrangle his desire so he wouldn’t be
tempted to take her straight to bed when they arrived.
He
slowed to a stop behind a stop sign and glanced over his shoulder to look at
her. Her hand slid down from his waist and into the front of his jeans. Fuck. He’d heard preachers’ daughters were
wild, but he’d thought it was a myth. With her hand snug against him he turned
left and pressed the gas, heading home. Trooper was waiting. And he needed to
get his mouth on this woman, to kiss her stupid and hope her hands continued
exploring.
He
pulled into his driveway and helped her off as the rain began to fall harder.
She didn’t squeal and run toward his covered porch the way some women would.
Instead, she stared at him as he lifted the helmet off her head. She didn’t
flinch as her shirt began to stick to her in all the right places. He leaned
toward her, cupping his hands around her face and leading her mouth to his. She
melted against him, sealing her wet body to his. Damn. Her lips were soft, the
kiss hungry, devouring him like he was the best thing she’d put in her mouth
all day.
“I
want you,” he said, pulling back from her mouth, but continuing to hold her.
The words were meant to be a warning. “I want you so fucking much.” He half
expected her to slap him. They barely knew each other. She had a wild streak
and a smart mouth, but overall he thought she was the good-girl type. Not the
type to give herself so easily. Even if he could’ve sworn she was ready the
other night.
“Take
me inside,” she said, going up on her toes and kissing him again, wrapping her
hands around the back of his head, pressing her body tighter against him.
“We’re getting wet out here.”
The
rain. She was talking about the rain. A nice guy would escort her inside and
help her get dried off. Which was exactly what he intended to do. But he didn’t
plan on stopping there.

It's Val and Griffin's first Christmas together and it's off to a rocky start,
but there's definitely a HEA for one of my favorite Seaside couples.
