7 Minutes in Heaven — Rhian Cahill

It's all fun and games until their hearts are on the line.

Cassandra Moreland's hard work to build her party-planning business is starting to pay off. There's only one thorn in her side-a six-foot-five wall of testosterone throwing his weight around while she supervises her friend Lil's first party. Butting heads doesn't work. Ignoring him really doesn't work. Not when he makes her pulse race and her palms sweat. But no way will she give in to his demand to shut the rowdy party down. Lucas Wilhelm, head of McDermott Security, can't believe the pint-sized brunette has the balls to go toe-to-toe with him. Strangely enough, that sassy mouth of hers isn't ticking him off. It's tightening his groin and stirring something much hotter than anger. A stolen moment in a pantry leads to a challenge that pushes each other's sexual boundaries to the limit. Except the rules go up in flames when they realize they're not just playing around. They're playing for keeps.

Warning: Contains an alpha male who's used to being in charge, and a tough-as-steel woman who isn't going down easy. Involves the use of beads, but not in the way you might think.
