Ravensdale's Defiant Captive

Ravensdale's Defiant Captive
MELANIE MILBURNE

‘I don’t take orders. Not from you or from anyone.’Holly Perez has one last chance to sort out the train wreck her life has become. But becoming housekeeper to reclusive CEO Julius Ravensdale is as close to being in prison as Holly can imagine. Julius might be devastatingly gorgeous – but he’s also brooding, formal and completely off-limits!Julius is renowned for his ironclad control, but provocative whirlwind Holly pushes him to breaking point! Especially when he discovers the vulnerabilities behind her wild-child bravado. With every touch he wants Holly more – and once he’s had her in his bed holding her captive there becomes an irresistible temptation…

Holly looked at his grimly set mouth and the dark shadow of sexy stubble that surrounded it. The clench of his jaw suggested he was only just holding on to his temper.

Her heart began to thump—but not out of fear. It wasn’t Julius she was afraid of but her reaction to him. She had never felt her body react in this way. His touch triggered something raw and primal in her. She had never felt her body ache. Pulse and contract with a longing she couldn’t describe because she had never felt it quite like this before. She wasn’t a virgin, but none of her few sexual encounters had made her flesh sing like this. He hadn’t even kissed her and yet she felt as if she was on a knife-edge. Every nerve in her body was standing up and waiting. Anticipating. Wanting. Hungering.

And then he suddenly dropped his hands from her arms. The movement was so unexpected she nearly toppled backwards into the pool, but somehow managed to regain her balance. She maintained her composure—just—with a cool look cast his way.

‘One thing you should note,’ she said. ‘I don’t take orders. Not from you or from anyone.’
