PISTOL WHIPPED ~ A Sexy Millionaire Romance
From the boardroom to the bedroom, the business of passion isn't a game.
Leave it to Austin DeAngelis, magnate, mogul and bad boy millionaire, to fall for a woman rumored to be composed of cold, hard steel. Hard target Kylie Derringer, like the gun that shared her last name, was small with cool curves, sleek feminine lines, and a seemingly impenetrable exterior. When a case of corporate espionage threatens the health of Austin’s company, all fingers point to his bold-as-brass employee as suspect number one.
Tangled in a web of lies and deceit, Kylie finds herself in the middle of a dangerous game between new love and old loyalties. The business of passion isn’t a game. When lies, lust, and love burns hot, can love survive its bad name?
Excerpt
“Who is that?” Austin DeAngelis asked as his second-in-command entered his office, interrupting his voyeuristic moment.
Brixton Castlemaine glanced over his shoulder. “That’s Kylie Derringer-DeValle, your senior technical writer,” he answered his friend and boss cheerfully. “She’s the best documentation specialist this company has ever had, but she is a little hard to get along with.”
“So I see.” Austin’s eyes swept over what he imagined were lush curves hidden beneath an oversized cardigan.
Brixton waved his hand in front of his friend’s face to divert his attention. “I know what you’re thinking. Forget it,” he advised. “Kylie is more than a handful. She has a tongue like a serpent, a mind like a steel trap, and an attitude that will stop any man cold. A pretty package on the outside but she has a disposition that will tear a man’s balls off.”
Austin threw his head back and exploded into laughter. “You’ve been here less than two months to oversee this takeover and you know her that well already?” He couldn’t help but be intrigued.
His friend’s grimace spoke of thwarted romantic attempts and Austin laughed even harder. Shaking his head, he said,
“Thanks for the warning. No need though. Although I just acquired this company, I’m still the new kid on the block. Somehow, I think dating my female employees is a bad way to start. Besides, you know I like my women tame, quiet, and biddable. From the looks of that troublemaker, she doesn’t have my required temperament.”
Austin’s eyes slid compulsively back to the woman who sat, seemingly comfortable and at home, stuffed in a tiny cubicle away from everyone else. “She is beautiful though,” he said absently. His eyes caressed her from the top of her shining hair to the tips of her toe-stomping combat boots.
Brixton grunted at this assessment. “Yeah well, an AK-47 is beautiful too, but that doesn’t mean I want to put my face in front of one.”
“Good point,” Austin admitted. “I wonder, though, how one very tiny woman can put so much fear into the hearts of a company full of men.”
“You don’t have to wonder. Let me introduce you. I’m curious to see if like the other women in your life she’ll take one look at you and fall on her back with her legs spread.” Brixton’s tone was clearly skeptical.
“Goes to show how much you know,” Austin chuckled. “Instantaneous spread-eagle is both vulgar and atypical. The women of my acquaintance are ladies. If legs are spreading, it’s done with style.”
Brixton rolled his eyes and made a sweeping gesture toward the door with his hand.
“Fine. Whatever,” Austin agreed. He accepted the silent challenge. His expression suggested boredom, but he felt goosebumps on his skin.
