Saffron Nights

BLURB:
Brazil…Hawaii…India….As
a food writer, Maeve has just been handed the hottest opportunity of her
career. She’s being sent on an international research tour for an aphrodisiac
cookbook. The downside is that she has to travel with rock star photographer
and womanizer Jackson Dodds. And the upside is that she has to travel with
Jackson Dodds. Because once they meet, Maeve understands why he’s been named
“America’s Most Eligible Bachelor”—and despite her best intentions, all she can
think about is putting their arousing recipes to the test…
Sexy and talented,
Jackson can have any woman he desires. But lately, the thrill is gone—until he
lays eyes on Maeve, who exudes sensuality like no one else. She’s determined to
keep things professional, but he knows the attraction is mutual. And as they
travel the world, sampling warming saffron, juicy papaya, silky avocado, rare
herbs and teas—and a mushroom whose very aroma sends women to heights of
ecstasy—both discover a hunger they’ve never known, and don’t want to resist,
even amid unexpected danger…

EXCERPTS
She acted
like she didn’t even know he was there. He watched her full lips curve around
the spoon as she stared intently into the bowl. What would they feel like on
him? She was not paying one ounce of attention to him, so he let his eyes
linger on her toes. They were simply perfect toes, topped off with a splash of
bright feminine pink, and her feet looked porcelain smooth and inviting. But he
held back. Christ—what if a woman like this did respond to him and then it went
horribly bad, as most of his affairs had? They might be stuck together on some
godforsaken mountain in India or Italy and be miserable.
So, he
held his breath, while his heart raced, but kept his eyes on her feet and
slurped the stew. After all, this was his career. He couldn’t risk it—even for
Maeve. Especially for Maeve.
“What are
you doing, Jackson?” She said and took another bite.
“Eating
soup and, ah, looking at your toes. They, ah, look really good,” he said.
“Maybe
you need some coffee, Jackson,” Maeve said, laughing.
“Sorry, I
just never knew that you had such pretty feet,” he said and smiled.
“Well,
you’re using that word a lot. Pretty. You’re barking up the wrong tree if—”
“We work
together,” Jackson stammered. “You know, I should never have mentioned how
pretty you feet are. Or how pretty you are, period. I’m sorry.”
What was
happening to him? Usually so confident, here he was stammering around Maeve
like a schoolboy.
He held
the bowl up to his mouth to drink the last drop, his tongue licking his lips in
utter abandonment.
He held
up his fingers and wiggled. “You don’t know this about me, but I give an
incredible foot massage.”
She
slammed her bowl down. “Are you coming on to me?”
