Do hunky #NavySEAL Nick Reardon and
Abby Stuart have a ghost of a chance for more than a weekend?
He offers her dinner.
When Abby Stuart accepts hunky Navy SEAL Nick
Reardon’s invitation, she gets a red hot one-night stand that becomes an
irresistible weekend interlude.
But when a glimpse of their past proves that
their fascination could be more than a brief affair, they wonder if they have a
ghost of a chance at happiness together
for all their tomorrows.

“We’ll
do this,” he said, his rough words sounding stern as a vow. “And then we’ll
curl up and go to sleep.”
Oh,
she wanted to curl up all right. She wanted to kiss him until the world ended.
He would know, too, because hadn’t she just answered him by vibrating in his
arms?
He
licked his lower lip, his blue gaze probing hers and looking at her Christmasy
pjs. “Honest. You and me and all your Santas. We’re going to kiss.”
She
cuffed him, laughing all the way.
He
did, too, and crushed her against him. “Kiss me. Make it long and make it worth
four more hours to wait for another.”
“You
are evil, do you know that?”
The
sun and moon and stars blazed across his features with delight. “Yeah. It’s
what I’m paid for. Do it.”
He
wouldn’t move first. That she understood. It had to be her, now or never. She
leaned closer to his lips. A breath separated them. “What if once isn’t enough?”
“It
will be.”
Disappointment
rang through her.
And
he smiled, consolation ripe on his lips. “Tomorrow, I promise to kiss you
anytime you ask.”
She
could live like that. “You could get in trouble for conduct unbecoming.”
“Baby,
with you in my arms, I’ve already got that trouble, and if you don’t kiss me, I
may just die before they come to throw me in the brig.”
She
sank her fingers into his luscious hair, cupping the back of his head, her
breasts boring into his hard naked chest. She put her mouth on his, his lips
firm and soft, his breath heavy and rapid. She brushed her lips on his once. He
hauled her up, and her skin met his. He groaned, and she slanted her mouth this
way. He took her up and pressed her down. He followed her, his lips drinking
her in, his tongue tangling with hers.
The
euphoria rippled through her in a storm. No one had ever kissed her like she
was his all, his everything. She had never wanted to be any man’s either.
And
so the kiss lengthened and ended only because they needed air.
He
pushed her back against his thighs, his hand sinking into her hair. “Abby, get
up. Now. Come around the other side and crawl back into bed.”
Totally
without a thought in her head, she obeyed. When she had settled onto her back,
he ran one strong arm around her waist and pushed her to her side. He adjusted
his body behind her, his corded length along her own, one leg over her hip.
Then he hugged her tightly to him. “Tomorrow morning, if I’m not here when you
wake up, don’t panic.”
She
did now. She whipped her head around to stare at him over her shoulder. “Why?”
“Oh,
honey.” He kissed her nose. “I’m not leaving. I’m going for an early swim.” He
moved closer, and the feel of his mighty erection against her ass gave the
evidence of his rationale. “I’ll need it. This will be the longest night of my
life.”
