Here's an excerpt from VERTICAL CLIMAX, as
part of the COUGAR CLUB line.
Available in soon from The WILDER Rose Press .
   “Going down?”
   “Sure Tex, but I don’t even know your real name.”
   Eve couldn’t help herself. She’d been eying that sexy hard
ass in tight wranglers for over a month. Every morning at
seven, she could count on him to be there holding open the
elevator door, stepping in behind her and filling the tiny
space with his Texas sized bod.
   God he was beautiful, and so out of place in New York.
What the hell was he doing here?
He and his roommate kept pretty quiet two doors down. Eve
silently prayed he wasn’t gay.
   He didn’t answer her, but a crimson blush colored his
tanned cheeks and fanned to his wavy blond roots.
Why the blush? Was he embarrassed because she was too hot
- or too old?  
   “Do all Texans blush like you?” She toyed with the zipper
on her cotton sport vest.  
   I shouldn’t be doing this. Why did I ever listen to Angie?
   He probably popped his first cherry just a few years ago.
She was on the downhill slide to forty with an aching foot,
but what the hell did she have to lose? Steven took all her
self-respect with him when he ran off two months ago with
that little slut.
   “I’m from Oklahoma, ma’am.” He slanted a smile, his
sky-blue eyes shining beneath a steady gaze.
   “Oklahoma, huh?” Eve rolled her shoulders back, her
chest thrust forward as she traced a finger down her neck,
stopping just at the rise of her breasts. Licking her lips, she
scanned his body. He was quite a package - big, beautiful
and sweet. Shit, he made her so horny. “Are all men from
Oklahoma as cute as you?”
   Like candy. Man candy. And Eve just wanted to lick him
all over.  
   “Uh, I never noticed.” He ran one large hand through his
thick hair. His crimson blush magnified to a bright scarlet.
   “Kind of hard not to notice a man like you,” she teased,
inching closer to his powerful frame, all the while hoping he
wouldn't reject her. The faint scent of his rich musk tickled
her senses, sending a wave of juices to her pussy.
    A sudden jerk had her falling into his arms, then
darkness.
   Eve screamed, momentarily disoriented. This hard tower
of man-flesh holding her was the reason for her confusion.
If she hadn’t been lost in his sexy southern drawl and those
heavenly eyes, she would’ve remembered.
   She and her best friend Angie, who was also the building’s
maintenance woman, had planned this elevator malfunction
two days ago, when Angie finally convinced her to quit
sulking and start living. As she inhaled the deep, rich scent
of leather and spice, a shiver raced up her spine. Pure
southern, sexy male. Leaning against his large, hard body,
she'd felt a lot shorter than five-foot-eleven. She'd never
been with a man so – powerful.
   How had Angie talked her into this?   
   “What happened?” she asked against his solid chest,  
wondering if her feigned confusion sounded convincing.
   “Power must’ve gone out.” Gripping her arms, he slowly
helped her upright as he pulled away from the wall.
   Damn.
   Even though he was still only a heated breath away, she
missed his touch.
