Amber stood stiff, shocked that Brian would even want her to consider a move away from him. Was she wrong?

He turned around to face her, holding his arms behind his back and a shaky smile on his lips. “Pick a hand.”

“Games? What is this?”

“Just pick, please.”

Amber arched one eyebrow skeptically and reached out to touch his right arm.

“Good pick.” He pulled his hand out and handed her the single leaf of paper he held in it.

She scanned down the page, both eyes going wide. “A job offer for New York? When did you get this?”

Brian grinned. “Today. About two minutes before I graciously turned them down. Maybe we’ll talk to them tomorrow about reconsidering?”

Her heart skipped several beats and she threw her arms around his neck. “Brian—”

“Hold on now. Don’t you want to see what’s in my other hand?”

She hadn’t even realized it was still tucked behind his back. “Okay…” she said, slowly stepping back and tapped his left arm.

Brian pulled his hand from behind his back and extended it out to her, palm cradling a black velvet box. He sank to one knee and opened the box, revealing a brilliant square cut diamond ring. “Marry me, Amber. I love you. Make my fantasy come true.”

Her heart ceased to beat and time stood still. Dragging the air into her lungs, she reached one shaking hand out to take the ring. “Yes. Yes! Brian, God, yes! I’ll marry you.”

He slid the ring over her slender finger, a perfect fit. She crushed her mouth against his, kissing him frantically. Unable to get enough. She was consumed by their love.

An invitation too hot to pass up.

Bound for the Holidays

© 2006 Mackenzie McKade

Angela Clarke finds herself bound for the holidays, literally. Not by one, but two gorgeous men—a powerful executive and one sexy cowboy.

Angie expected to spend Christmas alone, not in the arms of her new boss after the office party. Their attraction is hot enough to melt ice, and his wicked promises alluring. What he’s offering she has only fantasized about.

To her surprise, the night not only involves silk scarves and a set of handcuffs, but one tall dark cowboy.

Ryan Tyler has never thought twice about sharing his women with his best friend—until Ryan touches Angie. She stirs something deep inside him. But it’s too late to stop the decadent night from unfolding. What starts as hot sex with a warm, willing woman turns into something more. After tonight, Ryan knows he’ll never be satisfied with just one taste.

Could his fantasy lead to something lasting, or will it only be one night of pleasure?

Enjoy the following excerpt for Bound for the Holidays:

The lights were dim as Angie entered Ryan’s bedroom. His masculine scent and the woodsy cologne he used were prevalent in the air. The furniture was southwest style. His king-size bed was yellow pine with large bedposts. The smell of sulfur rose briefly as

Ryan lit tea-lights along the mantelpiece, and Wade started a fire in the flagstone fireplace.

The mood was soft, sexy, and Angie couldn’t wait to be touched by these two strong men. She drew her attention back to the bed and a wave of excitement dampened her panties. That was when she heard soft music begin to play in the background.

These men knew what enhanced a women’s sexuality. Tonight her fantasy would come true.

But what about tomorrow? The little voice in her head rose, but she vanquished it. She wouldn’t look any further than tonight.
