Two Weeks in the Magnate's Bed

Two Weeks in the Magnate's Bed
Nicola Marsh

He’ll tempt her… Shipping tycoon Zac McCoy can sense there is a passionate woman behind Lana Walker’s shy exterior. Whilst aboard his luxury yacht, he’ll tempt her out to play! He’ll tease her… Lana always looks before she leaps. But the captivating Captain has her throwing caution to the wind. The gloves come off, the silk dresses slip on – and the real Lana begins to emerge.He’ll take her! He’ll have her as his two-week mistress. But as land approaches, a fortnight may not be enough…

‘Do I make you hot?’

Zac slid his hands up and down her upper arms, the rhythmic contact depriving her of all rational thought and possible responses as he gazed at her with hunger and greed and passion

‘I don’t know what to say—’

‘You have no idea what you do to me when you look at me like that.’

He tugged her close a second before crushing her lips beneath his. The scorching kiss, a sensual assault, left her reeling.

As she tilted along with the deck beneath her shaky feet, she realised she’d never been kissed like this—ever.

She clung to him as his lips teased her to match him. She moaned, a guttural sound deep in her throat, and the noise inflamed him as he leaned into her, pressing her back against the rail and setting her wildest desires alight.

She should stop this madness, re-erect the barriers that had come crashing down the first instant his lips had touched hers.

But it felt so good to be desired, so good to have the attention of a man, so good to obliterate any lingering memories of what had happened on this night over three years ago…

THE BOSS’S BEDROOM AGENDA

PURCHASED FOR PLEASURE

With thanks to fellow M&B Romance authorClaire Baxter, for helping me brainstorm Zacin all his dynamic, enigmatic glory!

Dear Reader

There’s something about cruising… the choice to do everything or nothing, the delicious food, the excitement of sailing the seven seas (maybe indulging the odd pirate fantasy or two?), the brilliant eye candy factor with all those guys in uniform… Ahem, where was I?

Can you blame a girl for having her head turned by a strong, sexy sailor? The type of guy to sweep you off your feet, to romance you in the style you deserve?

Lana Walker doesn’t know what has hit her when suave shipping magnate Zac McCoy does exactly that—turning on the charm till the shy curator doesn’t know whether to succumb or jump ship and swim for shore.

What would you do? Give in to a spellbinding romance, no matter how brief, or settle for the safe option? I’ve been in this position and, believe me, taking the romance was worth every magical second!

I hope you get swept away by Lana and Zac’s enchanting romance too.

Happy reading

CHAPTER ONE

AS THE taxi screeched to a halt, Lana Walker flung open the door and scrambled for her bags.

‘Hey, slow down. You haven’t missed the boat.’

The deep groove in the driver’s caterpillar mono-brow had been honed with years of practice if his glare was any indication.

The way she saw it, she might have arrived on time to board the Ocean Queen, but she’d missed the boat metaphorically in every other way that counted—which was exactly why she was taking this trip.

She rummaged for the fare and darted a curious glance at the ship, spotting several officers in white uniforms on deck.
