Mystery Bride
B.J. Daniels
SHE WAS EVERYTHING HE WANTED…OR WAS SHE?The moment Will Sheridan met Samantha Murphy at a party, he knew she was the woman he'd been waiting for. Then a kiss, and suddenly she had disappeared. But Will hadn't given up looking for her, for he vowed to make her his bride–once he discovered who she was, that is….Samantha Murphy's identity was something the female private investigator was trying very hard to hide. She had a job to do and Will, sexy and gorgeous as he was, was in the way. When her latest case took a dangerous turn, Will was caught in the middle of the chase and became her accidental partner. Now on the run to save an innocent life, can they fight their attraction long enough to stay alive?
“You must think I’m not much of a private investigator,” Samantha said.
Will shook his head and smiled. “You’re the most amazing woman I’ve ever met. You were just outnumbered. In a fair fight, I’d put my money on you any time, Sam.”
He cupped her face with his hand. The strong, capable hand of a man who worked for his living. She covered his hand with her own.
“You sure you’ll be all right in here by yourself?” Will asked her, his blue eyes dark with obvious desire. “I could wash your back.”
Samantha swallowed, consumed with the thought of the two of them in the tub. The temptation was almost too much.
From the doorway behind them came the sounds of the little boy in the next room.
“You better see to Zack.”
He nodded and smiled. “Maybe another time,” he whispered.
She’d underestimated this man, Samantha thought. Just as she’d underestimated how dangerous this case was. She wouldn’t make either mistake again….
