ABOUT THE SAPPHIRE AFFAIR (Jewel Novel #1):
Bounty hunter Jake Harlowe knows how to track a criminal. So when a group of swindled shareholders hires him to trail their former CEO, Jake expects a quick trip to the Cayman Islands to close another case. Until a devastatingly beautiful woman gets in the way.
Steph Anderson is visiting the Caymans for a rock climbing and dive trip—or so she tells Jake. She’s really trying to find out whether or not her stepfather embezzled money from his company. The last thing Steph needs is the distraction of a sexy, charming man whose kisses drive her wild.
Soon, the pair discover they’re after the same target—and millions in jewels. While Jake can’t be certain Steph isn’t working for her stepfather, and Steph can’t be certain Jake isn’t after the diamonds for himself, they can agree the heat between them is intense, and neither can deny the passion for long.
But the morning after, Steph discovers that she just might have slept with the enemy, and now she’ll have to outwit him to get everything she needs…

EXCERPT
Jake’s eyes drifted briefly to the blond guy who hadn’t quite
gotten the message. He was standing far too close, so Jake tugged her near him.
“A woman like you doesn’t need a frat boy,” he said in a low voice, just for
her.
She arched an eyebrow. “Is that so? What does a woman like me
need?”
The guy flubbed his lips and walked away. Mission accomplished.
Jake could walk away, too.
But he didn’t. He was mere millimeters from her, and that
coconut scent was in his damn nostrils again. Reminding him of how her skin
tasted. How she smelled when he’d kissed her. And how goddamn much he wanted to
wrap her legs around his waist.
Digging his thumb into her hip, he answered her. “Someone who
knows how to savor a stunning marine biologist.”
That earned him a sparkling smile. She raised her chin as the
music pulsed from the stage. “Savoring is your specialty, I take it?”
While he hadn’t cut across the floor to flirt, he found himself
unable to stop. Being this close to her short-circuited all his brain cells.
“Oh, believe you me. I am excellent at that pursuit,” he said, letting go of
her hip, so his fingers drifted across the fabric of her dress to her belly.
“How would you do that? Savor me, that is.”
He flicked her belly button ring through the material, and her
breath caught in response. “I’d run my tongue across this ring, then properly
kiss you all over. Every inch. That’s what you need. That’s what you deserve.”
“Proper kissing? Everywhere?” she asked, her voice breathy and
low, but he heard every word because they were only for him.
He splayed his palm over her flat belly. The club goers crowded
them in, crushing them closer together, and the press of bodies and the
tightness of the space made it so hardly anyone could tell who was with whom.
“Everywhere,” he said as his thumb dropped lower, tracing a line along the
waistband of her panties, making his intentions clear. “Everywhere along your
beautiful body.”
She shivered, and her lips parted, but she said nothing. Maybe
she was wondering why the hell he was saying these things when they’d agreed to
cool it. Hell, he was wondering, too. “You deserve someone who craves the taste
of your lips. The feel of your body. Most of all, a woman like you deserves a
man who understands the three-to-one ratio.”
She scrunched her brows together. “What’s that?”
He brushed her blonde strands away from her ear, cupped a hand
over it, and whispered, “I would make sure you come three times before I even
do once.”
