WELCOMING THE BAD BOY
Hero's Welcome #3
Annie Rains
Released August 2nd, 2016
Loveswept
From the
bestselling author of Welcome to Forever (“Full of heart and emotion!”—Lori
Wilde) comes a sweet, sexy novel about breaking all the rules. In Seaside,
North Carolina, the boys on the base are heroes—but that doesn’t mean they’re
always well-behaved.
As a preacher’s daughter, Valerie
Hunt only dates the very respectable, very boring men who meet her father’s
strict standards. In private, however, she leads a double life as a romance
writer of steamy stories about the least respectable sorts of men. Valerie has
always kept her hottest fantasies separate from her real life, but when she
nearly runs a hot-blooded biker off the road, the lines begin to blur.
Even though Valerie almost killed
him, Griffin Black can’t be angry after he learns the reason for her distracted
driving: an unruly puppy belonging to her ailing friend. As a member of the
military police K-9 unit, Griffin insists on training the dog himself. But he
soon wonders how he’s ever going to stay disciplined around the most alluring,
down-to-earth, and totally unattainable woman he’s ever met. Valerie is the
ultimate good girl. And Griffin is going to need all his old tricks to unleash
her wild side.

Excerpt
Excerpt
She
wrapped the dry towel around her body and collected her clothes to go seek out
Griffin’s dryer. When she opened the bathroom door, he was standing in front of
her. His eyes traveled south. Really, a towel covered as much as any of her
strapless dresses. Strapless dresses involved hooks and zippers, though. All
Griffin had to do if he wanted to see her naked was pull the end of the towel
tucked beneath her arm.
She
took a breath, really wanting him to pull. What was the
point of a summer fling if she couldn’t live out her wildest fantasies? In
fact, if she were writing one of her books right now, her heroine would
probably tire of waiting to see what the gorgeous bad boy was going to do and
drop the towel herself.
Val
slowly lifted her arm and dropped the towel to her feet. No going back now,
which was completely fine with her.
“What
are you doing?” Griffin asked. There was a deep edge to his voice.
“Drying
off.” Her heart thudded inside her chest. Her hands were shaking. This wasn’t
like her. She didn’t seduce men. She should pick her towel up off the floor
right now and pretend like that was an accident.
Instead,
she stood frozen.
Griffin reached for her in the dark
hallway, tracing a finger from her neck down to her breast.
Then
he anchored a hand on her waist and pulled her toward him, kissing her again,
harder this time. Deeper. A little gasp caught in her throat as his other hand
reached between her legs and started to caress her, finding a rhythm that had
her clutching his still wet body to keep from falling on the ground.
She
reached for the hem of his shirt and started to lift his wet clothes off him.
Unbuttoning his jeans, she pressed them down, working until he was as naked as
she was.
“Are
you sure this is what you want? We’re breaking all the rules in those romance
novels you like to read,” he said, his voice gravelly.
She
swallowed, burning for him. Needing to feel his hands on her. His mouth. His
tongue. “I want this. I want you.”
A
small smile lifted his mouth. He took her hand and started leading her down the
hallway, passing Trooper as they went.
“Sorry,
buddy. You have to stay behind,” Griffin called, pulling her into his bedroom
and shutting the door. “If it starts to thunder we’ll have to stop,” he said
between kisses.
“A
woman should never come between a man and his dog,” Val agreed.
“You
know me so well.” He kissed her again and then he pulled her toward his bed.

It's Val and Griffin's first Christmas together and it's off to a rocky start,
but there's definitely a HEA for one of my favorite Seaside couples.
