Sheerly Irresistible

Sheerly Irresistible
Kristin Gabriel

Claire Dellafield is on a mission. She's checking out New York singles bars, gathering data for her thesis in human mating behavior.Only, little does she guess that her roommate's "man-magnet" skirt will net her more test subjects than she can handle. Or that she'll fall for rugged Mitch Malone, an undercover cop who can't resist taking Claire to bed–even though he might end up taking her to jail, too.…

“Your admirers couldn’t get their wallets out fast enough,” Mitch snorted

“This is a singles club, isn’t it? Don’t people usually buy drinks for each other?” Claire asked.

She had a point, but Mitch wasn’t about to concede. Not when she’d started a brawl within half an hour of her arrival. Not when her antics threatened to distract him from his investigation. Not when he had an almost irresistible urge to kiss her sassy mouth.

Battling his libido, Mitch carried Claire out to the curb and hailed down a cab. Then he loosened his grip, allowing her to slide the rest of the way down his body. Sweet torture.

“Enjoying yourself?” she challenged.

“I like it better when you don’t talk,” he said, his body throbbing.

She narrowed her eyes. “Just try to stop me.”

So he did. Lowering his head, he captured her sassy mouth with his own, figuring she’d pull back at any moment. Only she didn’t.

What the hell was wrong with him? With her?

Stepping back, Mitch managed to hustle her into the cab before he lost total control. But he had the feeling that the fun was just starting….

Dear Reader,

Have you ever taken on a new challenge knowing you were in way over your head? This happens to me more times than I’d like to admit, so it seemed only natural to put my heroine in a similar predicament.

Professor Claire Dellafield is a small-town girl determined to study the power of love in the Big Apple. If only tough guy Mitch Malone would stop standing in her way! But with a little help from a special skirt and a spoiled poodle, Claire makes herself Sheerly Irresistible, and Mitch soon finds himself completely under her spell….

Sheerly Irresistible is the second book in the SINGLE IN THE CITY miniseries, caught right between Heather MacAllister’s Skirting the Issue (August 2002) and Cara Summers’s Short, Sweet and Sexy (October 2002). Don’t miss any of the fun!

Happy reading,

Kristin Gabriel
