The first time she’d met him, he’d been blindfolded and at her mercy. Partnered in a trust exercise, Graham had been enticed by the allure of Julia’s voice, and eagerly followed her direction to navigate a maze. But as a warm friendship developed between them, their mutual attraction remained unacknowledged. And in the long-distance e-mail relationship that followed, their reticence persisted. Until the day a cancelled flight stranded Julia in Graham’s home town.
Both tried to play it cool, though each had approached their dinner date with intense anticipation. But the minute they stepped into Julia’s hotel room, the flood gates opened and their unfettered passion exploded. What really excited Julia, though, was that as in the trust exercise, Graham was great at taking direction. Because what really excited Graham was pleasuring Julia as no one else ever had.
Available now from eHarlequin.com and Fictionwise.com and probably a bunch of other places I don’t know about.

I’m reading it now! AT WORK, no less. In fact, I bought it twice because I didn’t realize that I couldn’t download Microsoft reader on my work computer cause it’s firewalled. Bastard IT people. So Megan – I hope you get paid twice for this – you deserve it

I hope your company doesn’t do any trust exercises. Or…maybe I hope they do!

Darn right I read it AT WORK (well, I unhooked the network cable from my laptop and disabled the WIFI first
) – thanks for such a great story, Megan – but why have I never met a guy like Graham at a team building exercise???

Lol now I’m definitely intrigued… but must not buy it until Thursday >.<
… Not that I’m writing my papers now. Bad.
Congratulations on the new release, Megan! After I buy this, all I’ll need is “Tempted” and my “Megan Hart Collection” of (available) Spice books will be complete!

So that’s why I’ve been to 50 million BS team building things and never met a guy like Graham?? Because they don’t really exist???? Now you tell me!!
Oh – and is it December 30 so I can read “Stranger” yet??

I believe in Bigfoot, too.

ARG! I bought it through e-harlequin but somehow won’t open on the computer. I’m waiting for the support people to get back to me. From the except, I’m sure it’s going to be great. Congrats, Megan.
And I can’t wait for Stranger too! It’s my MA graduation gift to myself. Yay!

GAAAAAAAAH! I wanted to pick up Layover today and I thought I could do it through paypal but noooooooooooo. For ebooks they only take credit cards…which mine is kaput.

@Nancy: Did you try from Fictionwise?
December 2nd, 2008 at 2:55 pm · Link
Fictionwise worked! …er sort of. I paid for the book and I shall send you the receipt in an itty bitty but I can’t find the download link anywhere in ‘My Bookshelf’ section. Grrr! I hate technology. I emailed them to politely ask WTF?
