He's a friend…with great benefits!As far as inventor Samantha O'Connel is concerned, work is better than food, a social life…even sex. Of course, all it takes is a single phone call from Matt Wilkinson—the ridiculously hot object of her girlhood fantasies—for Sam to discover even she has some naughty needs that won't be ignored.Sam's biggest challenge is that while Matt is just as much a workaholic as she is, he's also a wealthy, sexy bachelor who could have any woman he wants. With the help of the cutting-edge “smart” apartment she designed, Sam might just be able to get deliciously and nakedly close to Matt. Close enough to show him that this nerdy brainiac can be his every fantasy…even it's only for one blazingly hot night.

As far as inventor Samantha O’Connel is concerned, work is better than food, a social life...even sex. Of course, all it takes is a single phone call from Matt Wilkinson—the ridiculously hot object of her girlhood fantasies—for Sam to discover even she has some naughty needs that won’t be ignored.

Sam’s biggest challenge is that while Matt is just as much a workaholic as she is, he’s also a wealthy, sexy bachelor who could have any woman he wants. With the help of the cutting-edge “smart” apartment she designed, Sam might just be able to get deliciously and nakedly close to Matt. Close enough to show him that this nerdy brainiac can be his every fantasy...even if it’s only for one blazingly hot night.

“Watching you...seeing your pleasure...is exciting...”

“You’re prejudiced,” Sam teased as she sprawled beside Matt on the couch.

“Yep.”

They were quiet for a moment. Watching the tape of themselves avidly. It wasn’t the kind of sex that was scandalous. It was slow. No music. But it was raw and exciting. The feeling of being inside Sam swept over Matt, making his belly clench. It was a little crazy considering what he’d just figured out.

He touched her cheek, wondering if she was seeing the same thing he was. They weren’t just having sex. They were making love.

By all rights the realization should’ve scared the hell out of him.

“This makes me want you all over again,” he whispered, pulling her onto his lap.

Her voice became husky. “Prove it...”

Dear Reader (#ulink_6d7ea08e-fccf-5334-906f-5a48c7dbeb33),

Welcome back to the Three Wicked Nights trilogy! Finally, I get to write Sam’s book. She’s the one who designed the smart apartment. The one the guys looked after when she was at MIT. Only, not all of her college heroes have given the apartment a trial run.

In fact, the only one she’s lost touch with is Matt Wilkinson, the heir apparent to the Wilkinson family. Matt has large shoes to fill as he rises up the corporate ladder, but a short trip to Boston changes things.

He surprises his old friend Samantha, who lends him the smart apartment, but she’s freaked out by his arrival! Doesn’t he know that she had a crush on him for far too long?

Matt isn’t just coming to catch up with Sam. He wants to make amends for something he’d done in the past. Something that he’s never forgiven himself for.

What neither of them counted on was that the spark between the old friends lights up like a beacon from the moment they see each other. Only this time it’s not a girlish crush Sam has, but a full-on case of unrequited love.

I had a great time writing this book. Matt is one of my all-time favorite heroes, and I hope you fall in love with him just like I did.
