and the strong women they come to love!
When love’s the game, you can’t play it
safe...
A role in an indie movie has
turned heiress Sabrina Tavonesi into an overnight Hollywood sensation. She
should be thrilled, but the troubled woman she played in the film has come
alive in her dreams, turning Sabrina's life into a nightmare. Assaulted and
injured at the film's premiere, she has only has three weeks to rehab her
shoulder – and overcome her secret nightmares – before shooting the sequel.
When her All-Star brother insists that his teammate, pitching phenom Kaz
Tokugawa, can get her ready in time, Sabrina is desperate enough to try
anything...even some mysterious samurai practice.
As the handsome young pitcher
charms Sabrina with his amazing skills, he heals more than her shoulder--he
begins to make her believe in love. Kaz can't afford any distractions. He's
fighting to save his family's failing peach farm and secure a contract with the
Major League team of his dreams. Falling for his teammate's sister isn’t part
of his plan. But even his focused samurai training can't keep the troubled
beauty from stealing into his heart.
When Kaz is accused of
murdering a drug lord threatening his family, Sabrina is his only alibi...or is
she? Can they learn to trust one another before their secrets destroy their
lives as well as their love?
ExcerptKaz put his hands on her shoulders.Sabrina shut her eyes and hoped he didn’t feel the zing of adrenaline that shot through her when his fingers touched her skin. And was grateful that he couldn’t see the blush of embarrassment that flushed her cheeks. Goose bumps lifted along her arms as something more, some feeling she had no word for, rushed into her.“Are you cold, Sabrina?”“No,” was all she could utter.She really was losing her mind. The guy hadn’t had his hands on her for more than thirty seconds and already he’d shocked feelings through her that made no sense. She’d been touched by muscled, athletic stuntmen during film shoots, by lovers over the years, by Derrick—who’d be her lover if she let him—but no man’s touch had created such a deep, immediate and mysterious effect.He ran his fingertips along her shoulders. She tried to suppress the rising shiver.“Your back, your spine, your glutes, those are your power sources.” He pressed along her muscles, his fingers streaming unsettling energy as he moved closer to the nape of her neck. “Along with your core. But we’ll address your abdominal muscles when we go back inside.”The image of him observing her belly sent another shock of heat into her core. And lower. That sensation she did have words for—desire, hot and insistent. She wondered if he knew.He pressed under the blade of her injured shoulder and the pain made her wince, had her tensing, guarding.“See if you can breathe into this, Sabrina. I promise not to hurt you.”She inhaled as he pressed his fingers gently into the knotted muscles under her shoulder blade. Then he pressed on both sides of her shoulders at a point where the sensation was nearly unbearable, even though his touch was light. The near-painful feeling kept her mind off the twinge of hot wanting she was trying to ignore.Maybe it’d just been too long since she’d had a lover. Maybe she should share Derrick’s bed. But something had kept her from crossing that line with him. He might be her co-star, mentor of sorts, and friend, but she wasn’t as ready as he was to add lover to the list.Kaz traced his fingers down her arms, stroked along her forearms to her fingertips.She shivered with a mixture of pleasure and wariness. Mostly wariness.
