When He Was Bad...

When He Was Bad...
Jane Sullivan

Psychologist Sara Davenport wrote the book on bad boys. Literally. When her publicist arranges for her to speak on Nick Chandler's radio show, Sara quickly refuses. But going head-to-head with the famous bad boy would be great for sales. Besides, she can handle Nick, right? If she could only stop wishing he'd handle her!Sparring with Dr. Davenport has been great, but Nick wants more. Yeah, he came on a bit strong when they first met, but once Sara gets to know him… Of course, seducing the woman who's sworn off bad boys would only prove to his listeners–and the uptight doctor– just how good he can be….

“Nick, I can’t do this.”

“Why not?”

“Because you’re not the kind of man—”

“Not the kind of man you should want? God, Sara, you’re dying for a man like me.”

“Nick—”

“A man who can’t wait to drive you absolutely wild in ways you can’t even imagine. You want all those things as much as you want your next breath, Sara. And that’s exactly what I’m going to give you.”

Pulling her forward, he smothered her mouth in a kiss. He held her tightly, his kiss raw and hot and possessive; he made her mind go blank and her insides turn to mush.

So this is what it’s supposed to feel like.

Sara thought about the other kisses she’d experienced over the years, those bland, boring, halfhearted attempts that had been cool and hesitant and had left her dying for more. Dying for this. And now she wondered what other wondrous things might be out there that she’d been missing all her life.

She had a feeling this man knew every one of them.

Dear Reader,

The moment this story came to mind, I couldn’t wait to write it. Nick Chandler is my favorite kind of bad boy, one whose good looks, abundance of charm and killer smile are so disarming that he can talk his way into any woman’s heart.

But what happens when the woman Nick wants is Sara Davenport, a psychologist who has written a book that teaches other women how to resist heartbreakers like him? And what happens when the expert on avoiding the bad boy falls for him herself?

The conflict between the good girl and the bad boy is always such fun to write. I hope you enjoy the story!
