Keep her hands to herself?Not easy for Emily Saunders, who's in Elk Crossing, Idaho, for a family wedding. She's double booked in the same hotel room with a sexy cop attending–of all things!–a hockey tournament. As a massage therapist, Emily's soon itching to soothe Jonah Betts's gorgeous muscles–both on and off the ice.Jonah can't believe his luck–a sexy single woman sharing his cozy room, albeit temporarily. Okay, her orange bridesmaid dress is a disaster and her family is convinced he's actually her boyfriend. He's ready to go along with it even as he makes his play….Until Emily is suddenly calling for a TIME-OUT! Will Jonah's fantasies be permanently iced?

“Your bed or mine?” Emily asked

Her eyes were big and glistening with passion.

“Both,” Jonah promised her.

And just like that the game ended. Slowly she slipped her nightie off her shoulders, leaving her exposed in all her beauty.

Leaning forward, he decided it was well time he joined in this seduction. He explored her mouth, teasing her lips, making her sigh. He let his mouth go all the places it wanted to go—the swell of her breasts, her nipples, which tasted like heaven.

When he nuzzled her belly, she giggled. “You should have shaved.”

“Next time I will….”

She sighed and Jonah felt the quiver of her skin beneath his lips. “I can’t believe you didn’t jump me the second we got into the room.”

“You have no idea how much I wanted to,” he murmured into her belly button. “How much I still do…”

Dear Reader,

Some things you just can’t make up! This book came about after an extremely memorable writing retreat in the Pacific Northwest. My friends and I booked in to a charming lodge to write. One of our rooms had bedbugs and we all had to move. They took away all our clothes and cases to be treated and, since the lodge was full, we got rooms they normally don’t rent out. The room that Emily ends up with is pretty much the room I had. Since I couldn’t sleep, I played the writer’s favorite game. What if?

I’m grateful to all my zany writing friends, especially the Duetters, who can always be counted on for laughter and support. A special thanks to Candy Halliday, who helped with the orthodontist background, and to Holly and A.J., who helped in many ways.

As far as I know, there is no Elk Crossing Lodge in Idaho, and if there is I have never been there. The location was entirely fictitious.

Hope you enjoy Power Play, my unique contribution to the FORBIDDEN FANTASIES promotion. As always, come visit me on the Web at www.nancywarren.net.

Happy reading,

Nancy Warren
