LOVERS & LIARS

BLURB:
Alone in the world, Erica Wheeler needed a job or face eviction. The aspiring actress harbored a lifelong dream of movie stardom. She knew she had the talent, all she needed was a chance. Her roommate, Amy, plotted revenge on her former boss, sexy, bad-boy producer, Gunther Quill, for firing her. Together she and Erica bent the truth like a pretzel to get her a job working for Quill. He surprised her. Was he the same meanie Amy described or was he simply a smart, ambitious man on his way to the top?
One thing Gunther Quill hated was a liar. Tough, seductive and brilliant, he prided himself on being truthful. With his sharp, new assistant, Erica Wheeler, he’d soon be the most powerful producer of musicals in Hollywood and on Broadway. Nothing could get in his way, except maybe, falling in love.

EXCERPT:
Bumping into his hard chest threw her off balance. She clutched at him as he steadied her. Their faces were only inches apart. Gunther slowly drew her into his embrace. Erica didn’t resist, her hands flattened against him, and her fingertips dug into his flesh.
“I don’t know what I’d do without you,” he whispered.
“Gunther Quill, big bad producer? You could replace me in a heartbeat.”
“No, I couldn’t.” He leaned forward slightly, and his lips connected with hers. They were soft and gentle, surprising her, making her want more. Her hands glided up to join around his neck as he pulled her flush up against him. He angled his head and deepened the kiss, the tip of his tongue brushing along her lips, coaxing admittance.
When she parted for him, the kiss became hard and passionate. He took her mouth, demanding a response. And she gave one gladly. A low moan escaped her throat as her knees weakened.
When she began to slip away, his arms tightened, his fingers pressing into her back. He held her fast for another moment, her hands grasping his bare shoulders. Then, he stepped back. His eyes glistened with desire. Need grew in her belly. Dampness between her thighs made her ache for him to relieve the pressure.
She couldn’t disguise her heavy breathing, so she didn’t bother to try, but returned his lustful stare with her own. Erica ignored the logic in her brain. She wanted him with every fiber of her being, engaged or not.
“I promised, didn’t I?” he said, dropping his hands.
She nodded, as words wouldn’t come. A brief sting of tears behind her eyes warned her. No crying. Not gonna cry! Calm down.
“I got carried away. I’m sorry.” He cast his gaze to the floor.
“I’m not.” She shifted her weight, thrusting out her hip in defiance.
