Twelve Nights Of Temptation. Barbara Dunlop

      

      His Christmas Cinderella! From New York Times bestselling author Barbara Dunlop.

      These days, the only woman who interests Matt Emerson is the one working on his yacht. Even covered in grease, marine mechanic Tasha Lowell excites him. But he knows a romance with the boss isn’t part of her professional playbook.

      Yet when a saboteur targets Matt’s charter-boat empire, Tasha agrees to be Matt’s date at a holiday ball to gather intel. Tasha was beautiful before the makeover, but now she takes his breath away. Suddenly, keeping this strictly business isn’t an option...

      Twelve Nights of Temptation is part of the Whiskey Bay Brides trilogy.

      “I want to kiss you.”

      “That’s a bad idea,” Tasha said.

      “Why?” Matt asked.

      “The signature on my paycheck. Besides, I’m not that kind of girl.”

      “The kind that kisses men?”

      “The kind that randomly kisses men, while I’m working, in an engine room, covered in grease.”

      “So, are there any circumstances under which you’d agree to kiss me? Maybe if we left the engine room? Perhaps if you washed off the grease?”

      “Nice try.”

      “I thought so.”

      “You’re just not used to hearing the word no.”

      “You’re right. It makes you even more attractive to me. Now I’m hoping against hope that you’ll admit you’re attracted to me.”

      A flush came up on her cheeks. “We both know you struck out.”

      “Maybe. But this is only the first inning. In fact, let’s call it batting practice.”

      Three friends find love on the shores of Whiskey Bay.

      Dear Reader,

      Welcome to the second book in the Whiskey Bay Brides series! The Pacific Northwest is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Where else can you go from skiing a snowy alpine run to swimming on a warm beach in only a few hours? The rugged beauty of Whiskey Bay is the perfect setting for romance.

      In Twelve Nights of Temptation, marina owner Matt Emerson is the target of sabotage, which endangers both his fleet of luxury yachts and his hardworking staff. When he joins forces with his mechanic, Tasha Lowell, to catch the culprit, he finds himself seeing past her unadorned exterior to find a gorgeous woman beneath. But Tasha refuses to compromise her hard-won respect by dating the boss.

      Then the stakes grow higher when Tasha becomes the target, and she and Matt are thrown together—at sea with no one to depend on but each other.
