Get ready for All-Star alpha males and the strong women they come to love! When love’s the game, you can’t play it safe...
A role in an indie movie has turned heiress Sabrina Tavonesi into an overnight Hollywood sensation. She should be thrilled, but the troubled woman she played in the film has come alive in her dreams, turning Sabrina's life into a nightmare. Assaulted and injured at the film's premiere, she has only has three weeks to rehab her shoulder – and overcome her secret nightmares – before shooting the sequel.
When her All-Star brother insists that his teammate, pitching phenom Kaz Tokugawa, can get her ready in time, Sabrina is desperate enough to try anything...even some mysterious samurai practice. As the handsome young pitcher charms Sabrina with his amazing skills, he heals more than her shoulder--he begins to make her believe in love.
Kaz can't afford any distractions. He's fighting to save his family's failing peach farm and secure a contract with the Major League team of his dreams. Falling for his teammate's sister isn’t part of his plan. But even his focused samurai training can't keep the troubled beauty from stealing into his heart.
When Kaz is accused of murdering a drug lord threatening his family, Sabrina is his only alibi...or is she? Can they learn to trust one another before their secrets destroy their lives as well as their love?
Excerpt: Pamela Aares AIM FOR LOVE
Kaz put his hands on her
shoulders. Sabrina shut her eyes and hoped he didn’t feel the zing of
adrenaline that shot through her when his fingers touched her skin. And was
grateful that he couldn’t see the blush of embarrassment that flushed her
cheeks. Goose bumps lifted along her arms as something more, some feeling she
had no word for, rushed into her.
“Are you cold, Sabrina?”
“No,” was all she could utter.
She really was losing her mind.
The guy hadn’t had his hands on her for more than thirty seconds and already
he’d shocked feelings through her that made no sense. She’d been touched by
muscled, athletic stuntmen during film shoots, by lovers over the years, by
Derrick—who’d be her lover if she let him—but no man’s touch had created such a
deep, immediate and mysterious effect.
He ran his fingertips along her
shoulders. She tried to suppress the rising shiver.
“Your back, your spine, your
glutes, those are your power sources.”
He pressed along her muscles, his
fingers streaming unsettling energy as he moved closer to the nape of her neck.
“Along with your core. But we’ll address your abdominal muscles when we go back
inside.”
The image of him observing her
belly sent another shock of heat into her core. And lower. That sensation she did have words for—desire, hot and insistent.
She wondered if he knew.
He pressed under the blade of her injured
shoulder and the pain made her wince, had her tensing, guarding.
“See if you can breathe into
this, Sabrina. I promise not to hurt you.”
She inhaled as he pressed his
fingers gently into the knotted muscles under her shoulder blade. Then he
pressed on both sides of her shoulders at a point where the sensation was
nearly unbearable, even though his touch was light. The near-painful feeling
kept her mind off the twinge of hot wanting she was trying to ignore.
Maybe it’d just been too long
since she’d had a lover. Maybe she should share Derrick’s bed. But something
had kept her from crossing that line with him. He might be her co-star, mentor
of sorts, and friend, but she wasn’t as ready as he was to add lover to the
list.
Kaz traced his fingers down her arms, stroked along her
forearms to her fingertips.
