Royal, Texas & Hawaii – Present Day

 

Kelly Prentiss has secretly been attracted to her workaholic boss, Luke Holloway, for years, but he never looked her way. Kelly conspires with Luke’s brother to whisk him off to an exclusive resort in Hawaii, which includes her staying by his side to make sure he takes advantage of the resort’s amenities. Secretly, she hopes that he notices her as a desirable woman, and not just as his personal assistant. Luke is angry at first at the deception, but he agrees to the plan to spend a few days in Hawaii with her. They’re sharing a suite (separate bedrooms, of course) but with her prancing around in a teeny bikini, it doesn’t take long before he’s eyeing her like a man thirsty for water. All Kelly wants is a few sizzling nights in Luke’s bed. It looks like her plan might work.

 

Luke has considered himself married to his job, especially lately after a scandal threatened the company’s future. He’d honestly rather be working but a few days away might help refresh him. But watching Kelly—and suddenly realizing how hot and sexy her body is—has Luke thinking about some naughty things he’d love to do to her in his bed. They’ve never mixed business with pleasure, but what happens in Hawaii will stay there once they return home to Royal?

 

Kelly has been tempted by her boss for years in TEMPTED BY THE BOSS by Jules Bennett, the latest tale in Texas Cattleman’s Club: Rags to Riches. Luke has always been unattainable—either because he never looked her way or because of that brief time he was engaged. Kelly always had dreamed of the day he’d realize she was desirable. If he did make love to her, she didn’t have plans to look beyond that. After all, he is her boss. Yes, Kelly brought along a few sexy items of clothing, and yes, Luke did notice her. But if they have sex, what will happen once their vacation is over? Luke tries to keep his hands off her, but once Kelly lets him know that she would be open to a fling, all bets are off. The steamy hot days in Hawaii turn to even steamier nights in bed together. Kelly soon finds herself falling hard for Luke. But he makes it clear that work comes before love. Can she convince him that they can have both?

 

Things turn sizzling hot for Kelly and Luke in TEMPTED BY THE BOSS, but is it only temporary? Can they turn their fling into something more the moment they step foot again in Royal? Kelly certainly hopes so! Find out what happens by picking up this enjoyable (and sensual) tale.
