Seduction the second
time around
A year ago Nick Ryder and
Mirand Chase shared a steamy night that left more than just
a few lipstick marks on his collar. When she didn't
return his calls, Nick got the message loud and clear ...
this high-class woman wanted nothing more from a lowly cop.
Yet they've met again, and Miranda needs his investigative
talents. He can't refuse the tempting Miranda, but he can
stay out of her bed. Or at least try ...
Miranda struggled to forget
gorgeous Nick Ryder--he didn't call and she thought he wasn't
interested. Now he's back--as sexy and irresistible as ever--and
his hot glances are saying he wants another night. But he
keeps insisting that this is strictly business. That means
Miranda is going to have to sharpen her lipstick and entice
him ... because she's not about to let him get away twice!

"Delightful comedic feast!
Very highly recommended… Once again author Dawn Atkins proves her
deft ability for combining an amusing romantic romp with sensual
interludes in LIPSTICK ON HIS COLLAR. These dynamic characterizations

verve as Miranda and Nick match wits. Outrageous antics, such as
Miranda's tackling of a burglar and the over abundance of sprained
ankles, make for a marvelous read, making LIPSTICK ON HIS COLLAR
come very highly recommended."

Nick followed the trail of rose petals. They
led straight to Miranda's bedroom, lit with clusters of flickering
candles. Soft jazz played and the air smelled of roses mixed with
vanilla and spices. The trail of rose petals led to the bed where
Miranda lay.
She was on her side in a suggestive pose, wearing
white lingerie, transparent except for leafy vines that coyly covered
her. She was breathtakingly beautiful--she looked like erotic innocence.
And she was trying to seduce him.
His capacity to think went south and his vow
to resist her evaporated. Desire pounded through him and all he
wanted was to put his hands all over her. Now.
She tossed her hair over her shoulder. "I thought
we might finish what we started…."
Who was he to fight her? He crossed the room,
yanking off his clothes as he moved.
I poured you a bath," she murmured.
"Honey, if you think I'd let a bath come between
me and you looking like that, think again!"
