Happy Release Day to author Carly Phillips! Her latest book Dare To Surrender (Dare To Love #3) is out today! Enjoy the excerpt below!
Publisher: CP Publishing
Release date: July 15, 2014
After
ending a relationship to a cheating, domineering man, Isabelle Masters takes
off in her leased Mercedes, only to be arrested for grand theft and hauled to a
local police station. To her surprise, she is rescued by the most unlikely
person possible, Gabriel Dare, a man she’s been attracted to for far too long.
Gabe offers Isabelle freedom along with an invitation to Eden, an exclusive
island resort where everything and anything is possible.
Although
Gabe yearns to possess Isabelle, he knows all too well he must fight his
primitive need to bind her to him, and instead help bring out the independent
woman she yearns to become – or risk losing her for good.
A
woman who needs to run her own life. A man who needs to exert control. Can she
surrender to his erotic demands without losing her sense of self once more?
Excerpt:
Gabe silently thanked God his houseguest escaped into
the shower as soon as she possibly could. The tour of the house had just
about done him in. Isabelle’s oohs and aahs had been genuine, as had her
love of his favorite room in the place. Unlike Naomi, who had taken one
look at his apartment and immediately begun calculating how she could move in
permanently, Isabelle, who he had invited, not only wanted to pay her way but
she planned to leave as soon as possible.
Not if he had his way.
Back at the police station, outside in the rain, it’d
been all he could do not to reach out and swipe his hands over her responsive
nipples, feel her tremble beneath his touch, and get rid of the ridiculous
distance between them. He might not know her well, but he’d always felt
they’d connected. The physical attraction was obvious. She was all
woman, supple curves, her breasts full and lush, and she possessed one hell of
an ass. His cock twitched with the desire he’d felt from the moment he’d
first seen her on Daltry’s arm.
But things ran deeper. They’d shared banter and
flirting during opportune moments when he’d caught her alone. He’d had
glimpses of the intelligent, witty woman she was when not with that pompous
ass. But not until today had he really seen beyond the exterior beauty to
the depth beneath. Those sexy blonde curls that bounced wildly around her
face were a proud testament to the fiercely independent woman she desperately
wanted to be.
The woman he intended to help her find.
It wouldn’t be easy. Isabelle needed
gentling. Understanding. Patience. Not his best traits, but
when it came to her, he’d already exercised plenty. He’d bided his time,
knowing Daltry would fuck up sooner or later. The balls that made him a
crack financial investor also imbued an arrogance that would be his
downfall. And it had been.
It was Gabe’s good fortune that Daltry’s screw-up had
landed Isabelle at his brother’s police station. Seeing her there had
given him insight he wouldn’t have had otherwise. In Isabelle, he saw an
intriguing combination of weary life experience and innocent ingenue. It
was the innocence the most primitive part of him wanted to conquer, to
possess. Since he'd begun running his father's empire at the age of
twenty-one, the same age he'd been drafted into surrogate parenthood to his
sister, he had always gotten what he wanted.
And Gabe wanted Isabelle.
