THE MUMMY MAKEOVER

“I want you to put your hands on my chest and try to resist me.”

Erica returned Kieran’s smile. “Bet you say that to all the women you know.”

“Just do what you’re told without the commentary.”

She gave him a sharp, one-handed salute. “Yes, sir.”

He balled his fists against his chest. “Grab my hands, angle your body away and don’t let me move.”

“Fine, but don’t expect too much.”

“Keep going,” he demanded. “You’re not using your legs.”

Scowling, she regrouped and tried again, and he continued to prod her. “Push harder. Don’t let me back up. Pretend you’re fending me off because your life depends upon it.”

Erica unexpectedly stopped, straightened. Before Kieran could level his next command, she planted her mouth on his…

MUMMY FOR HIRE

“Are you available?”

Alexis blinked. “You mean single?”

“As a potential match.”

“For you?” Her brow rose discreetly as the meaning of his words sank in. “No. I’m not.”

Grady hadn’t got where he was by accepting no for an answer, especially when he wanted something as suddenly as he wanted this. “Sure about that?”

“Matchmakers at ForeverLove.com are not allowed to date clients, Grady.”

“We’re not talking about a date.” Or anything nearly that insignificant. “We’re talking about a match.”

“Same thing. And it’s out of the question.”

“Why?”

“This isn’t business, Grady, or at least it shouldn’t be. It’s your personal life.”

Chapter One

Only two things served to relax Kieran O’Brien—great sex and pumping iron. Since he still had several hours before he could leave work, and no special woman in his life right now, he’d have to settle for a weight session in his own private gym adjacent to his office. A sanctuary far away from the distractions and demands that came from owning two premier Houston health clubs, with a third location in the construction stage.

He strode through the club to the familiar sounds of expensive exercise equipment being put to good use, as well as a chorus of greetings from the regulars, several of whom were women he’d personally trained at one time. Some were women who’d wanted more than the standard workout. On the advice of those who’d groomed him to be a preeminent personal trainer, he’d vowed from the beginning not to mix business with pleasure. Not once had he crossed that line.
