Blurb:
Pamela Aares' USA Today bestselling Tavonesi Series continues with another suspenseful, page-turning and heart-warming novel about the healing power of love.
Reclusive tech billionaire Evan Forbes finds himself lost and lonely in the secretive world he's cloaked around himself. He may have changed the way the world communicates with his innovative, high-tech businesses, but the language of the heart has brought nothing but pain.
When Evan meets the vivacious heiress Coco Tavonesi on a garden tour, she fires a spark of desire he can't resist. Pretending to be an ordinary computer geek, he conceals his true identity and accepts the thirty-dollar an hour job she offers, tracking down a hacker who's stolen her prized nature photographs. After years of hiding his famous name and his own incredible wealth behind a disguise, has he met the woman worth revealing himself to? Can he risk his heart?
Coco doesn't count on falling for the sexy techie, but when she playfully snaps a photo of Evan, his resulting anger triggers fears from her past. What does he have to hide? Is Evan the quirky, sweet geek he seems, or yet another fortune hunter using this chance to get close to her?
When Evan discovers that Coco is being hacked by a high-level genius, he's determined to bring the criminal down. But the hacker accesses Coco's photos of Evan and threatens blackmail and violence, and suddenly the secrets Coco and Evan have kept from one another endanger not only the love blooming between them, but their very lives.
Excerpt
Evan’s hand shook as he opened the passenger door for Coco. But instead of dropping the connection of their hands, she lifted up on her toes and tipped her face to his. The rush of want that he’d held at bay in the café and on the short walk to his car exploded as he pulled her close and sealed his mouth to hers. The first touch of her tongue against his shot a flash of fiery need heating up his body.
She shivered as his hands tracked down her back over the smooth silk gown. When he cupped her curves in his palms, she moaned against his lips. He slid a hand under the edge of the low-cut back of her gown. The hitch of her breath at the touch of his fingers had him deepening the kiss with a hunger he couldn’t hold back.
But when he sensed a car approaching, his body went into alert mode. Instinctively he pulled away, shielding her body with his, blocking her from view.
She glanced at the approaching limo. “It’s Drake.”
“Then perhaps we had better head to your place. Or how about mine? We’d have more privacy. If Drake insists on following us there, he’ll have to park in the drive. My gardens separate the drive from the house.”
“Oh, he’ll follow. No one shirks Papa’s commands.”
Evan stroked a wisp of hair from her cheek. “Except you.”
“Except me. And even I’m beginning to respect his wisdom.” She slid into the passenger seat, pulling the gown close to her body and free of the door. “I’d like to see your place,” she said, her eyes darkening.
The flush coloring her cheeks told him all he needed to know.
Coco was quiet on the drive to his estate. With Drake’s headlights reflecting in the rearview mirror and Evan’s thoughts and hopes tumbling around in his head spurring on the want energizing his body, he’d have been hard-pressed to make even light conversation.
Drake followed them through the gate. But to Evan’s relief, he parked the limo about two hundred yards from the main entrance to the house.
Evan pulled up near the front door. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d used it. Maybe the day he’d moved in. The key slid into the lock, and he prayed the damned thing would work. As they entered the foyer, he suddenly felt self-conscious.
“I . . . Ah . . . I haven’t brought in much furniture,” he said as he surveyed the nearly empty foyer and imagined what the place must look like to her.
She laughed. “I didn’t come here to evaluate your furniture, Evan.” She wrapped her arms around his neck, tangling her fingers in his hair. “I came here to do this.”
There was a fury to her kiss, an energy that swept into him and screamed yes! Not breaking the contact of their lips, he scooped her into his arms and carried her toward the curved staircase.
When he reached the bottom stair, he broke contact with her lips. And felt like he’d been unplugged from the source of life itself.
But he wanted her permission. He wanted her to be sure. If he took her up to his room, he’d have a hard time letting her leave.
“I do have a bed,” he said, not knowing any other way to ask.
She stroked her finger along the edge of his jaw. “I was counting on it. But I can walk, you know.”
“There are twenty-four stairs.”
“Ah. Precise. Then I shall enjoy the journey.”
Her words supplied the green light he’d sought. She tucked her face to his chest. His blood pounded so fast that he had to concentrate as he mounted the stairs.
He kicked open the door to his bedroom and silently thanked Lily for insisting on shipping him a bed. A nice big bed.
A bed that had never been occupied by anyone other than him.
The thought stopped his progress across the room. If this night didn’t go well, if he screwed up, he was definitely moving to Tibet.
“Evan?”
The silk of her dress bunched in his hand as he slid Coco to her feet. As if they had a will of their own, his hands held fast at her waist, holding her close.
“I’m here.” He hauled in a breath, aware that not only was his heart pounding, but his erection strained against the waistband of his tux trousers. “All here.” He wanted to add all yours, but he didn’t want to freak her out.
She ran her hand under his tux jacket and then lower.
“Yes, I’d say you’re all here. But I’d better make sure with my own eyes. I’m a visual creature, as you know.”
What happened next, he couldn’t have predicted She stepped back and hooked her thumbs under the lapel of his jacket, slid it from his shoulders and down to the floor. She tore open the starched shirt, sending the studs flying across the room to ping as they landed on the marble floor. The tux was coming off much faster than it had gone on.
