Marin headed down the hall with the thumb drive tucked in her pocket and the soda in her hand. She needed to focus on her job. Get those little numbers entered into the computer, get lost in the monotony.
But it wasn’t more than ten minutes after she stepped back into Professor Roberts’s lab that she had the recordings cued up. Donovan’s voice filtered into her head.
“I spot you first across the bar. You look beautiful and I know you’ve come here with someone else. I can see him getting you a drink. But I can feel your eyes on me, and I know that tonight, it’s going to be my hands on you …”
Marin didn’t get another lick of work done that night.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
To Donnie, for always being my biggest cheering section. I know living with a writer can be … interesting. Thanks for always being up for the challenge. Love you.
To my son, for keeping me on my toes and making sure I never take life too seriously.
To my parents, for being so damn cool and supportive (and for watching kidlet when I go to conferences or need a vacation). And to all of my family, for being so encouraging.
To my agent, Sara Megibow, for your unflagging support and fangirling.
To my editor, Kate Seaver, for your insight and belief in my books.
To Julie Cross, Jamie Wesley, Dawn Alexander, and Genevieve Wilson, my fellow writers in the trenches. Thanks for being the girls I gossip with, vent to, and cheer with at the virtual watercooler.
To Taylor Lunsford, for always being willing to give me a last-minute read when writer insecurity is cropping up.
And finally, to my readers, you are the ones who keep me at this keyboard every day, striving to write the best book I can. Thank you for spending time with my characters and books. I am forever grateful.

About the Author
Roni Loren wrote her first romance novel at age fifteen when she discovered writing about boys was way easier than actually talking to them. Since then, her flirting skills haven’t improved, but she likes to think her storytelling ability has. Though she’ll forever be a New Orleans girl at heart, she now lives in Dallas with her husband and son. If she’s not working on her latest sexy story, you can find her reading, watching reality television, or indulging in her unhealthy addiction to rock stars, er, rock concerts. Yeah, that’s it. Visit her website: www.roniloren.com.
