      There’s no such thing as enough...

      When the star player of a professional hockey team gets handsy, event coordinator Viv Callahan performs the slap heard round the world of sports...and is fired. So when she meets a sexy stranger, Viv decides the perfect way to forget her troubles is to have one wild, uninhibited night...

      Damien Black finds Viv intriguing. She doesn’t know he’s the owner of the aforementioned hockey team, as well as a chain of upscale hotels. Damien is used to hangers-on, and for once he’s enjoying a woman desiring him just for being him. But he quickly discovers how addictive pure desire can be, and how quickly a few lies of omission can endanger everything he loves.

      —RT Book Reviews

      Dear Reader,

      When I wrote my November 2014 Blaze, Oh, Naughty Night, I didn’t really envision making a heroine out of sassy, sexy Viv Callahan. But sometimes when you’re writing, a character will just spring off the page, demanding that you tell their story. Viv, with all her brassy self-confidence, was someone I wanted to explore, to try to figure out who she really was and what made her tick.

      Coming up with the appropriate hero for this very bad girl wasn’t much of a problem. Ever since the release of my Blaze novella Triple Play, I’ve heard from readers who wanted more of superrich, supersexy bad boy Damien Black. Who better to tame the wild ways of a naughty seductress than an equally naughty billionaire? Their romance sears the pages, but also touches the heart.

      Honestly, I love every story as I write it, but I have to say Viv and Damien’s now holds a place in my personal top five of all my books. I love their relationship—the heat and the emotion—and for the first time have found myself wishing I could write a sequel just about this pair.

      I so hope you enjoy reading about them, too!

      Best wishes—

      Leslie Kelly

      “IT WAS THE slap heard ’round the wide world of sports. For a nanosecond, I felt the thrill of victory. Then when I realized what I’d done—and in front of whom—I felt the pure agony of defeat.”

      After making that pronouncement, Viv Callahan lifted her glass of wine and gulped a mouthful. Her two best friends, Lulu and Amelia, didn’t touch theirs. Both of them looked shocked by what Viv had just told them.

      “Seriously?” asked Lulu, her big brown eyes round. “You slapped hockey star Bruno Neeley across the face, in front
