Synopsis:
Marco Thorne was hired by Club Wilde’s owner
to open up the newest, most outrageous venue yet. He is absolutely
certain that he can handle all the competition Las Vegas has to offer
until his overbearing boss contracts with Lions and Tigers and More
sanctuary to have live exotic animals present in the jungle-themed
club. Still, he has no choice but to go along with his boss’s
idiotic scheme, even if he thinks it’s the worst idea he’s ever
heard.
Dr. Sage DeSantis’s entire life is devoted to
keeping the animals under her care in the sanctuary healthy and
happy. After the sanctuary’s owner announces that he’s renting
out some of Sage’s babies to Club Wilde, she’s sickened that they
will once again be exploited.
When Marco and Sage meet, the chemistry between
them nearly knocks them off their feet. Although they both have
experiences in their past that make them leery of love, and Sage is
determined to guard her heart, Marco is all in. But will Marco be
able to convince Sage to give them a chance?

Excerpt

“Marco
Thorne?” The words came out breathy and Sage filled her lungs.
Finally, she exhaled and asked, “Are you Nico’s brother?”
“Yes,
I am.” Marco’s tone was suddenly guarded. “Do you know my
brother?”
“Only
through his wife.” Sage realized that Marco’s hand was still
extended and she hastily shook it. “Deanna is my best friend.”
“You’re
Sage?” Marco asked. “I don’t think I ever heard your last
name.”
“Small
world.” Sage smiled.
Maybe
this wouldn’t be as bad as she feared. Surely, Nico’s brother
would be reasonable. Maybe she could even convince him that having
wild animals in a crowded nightclub was a bad idea.
Marco
slowly released her fingers and they stood staring at each other.
Sage wasn’t sure how long they stood there before Marco cleared his
throat.
“Would
you like a drink before we get started?” He gestured to the bamboo
bar. “Water, soda, maybe something a little stronger?”
Sage’s
mouth was dry—probably from hanging open as she gazed at the Greek
god in front of her—and she said, “I’ll take a Diet Coke if you
have it.”
“Coming
right up.” Marco walked over, stepped behind the bar, and grabbed a
glass. After filling it with ice, he held it under the dispenser. “So
how long have you and Deanna been friends?”
“Since
our freshman year in college.” Sage nodded her thanks when he
leaned over the bar and handed her the soda. Did you attend their
wedding? I couldn’t believe they couldn’t wait a couple of days
for me to fly from here to Chicago.”
“Yeah.”
Marco grabbed a bottle of water for himself and twisted off the cap.
“There wasn’t much to see. They stood in front of the judge, he
said a few words, and that was it.” Marco lifted the Dasani to his
mouth. “There wasn’t any of the usual shit. Definitely not worth
the airfare.”
“I’m
an only child.” Sage stared into her glass of soda. “So it would
have been nice to see my best friend get her happily ever after.”
“My
mother has been planning a huge surprise reception with all the
trimmings for their one-year anniversary. Now that the happy couple
is spending a month here instead of just a week, Mom is moving the
reception to the big LV. ” Marco moved closer to Sage. “I’ll
make sure that you’re there for that.”
“Actually,
I’ve already received an invitation,” Sage said. “And I can’t
wait.”
“Good.”
He brushed his thumb along her jaw. “That’s good.”
Sage
shivered. Something swirled around her and it felt like the air after
a lightning storm—fresh, but with a hint of lingering danger. Her
heart thudded against her chest, tension winding tighter and tighter
as Marco’s thumb seemed to brand her skin. Her girly bits stirred
in response and hormones she thought were in deep hibernation had her
body going places that terrified her.
Her
reaction to his barely there caress must have shown on her face,
because a flagrantly sexy, oh-so-smug expression gleamed hungrily in
Marco’s molten gold eyes. He put his water bottle down on the bar
and brought his other hand up to cup her cheek.
His
lips hovered a millimeter above hers and Sage couldn’t believe she
wanted him to close the gap. They’d only known each other for about
ten minutes. There was no way she should be thinking about kissing
him.
