About this ebook
How had her life gotten so complicated? As if grad school wasn't hard enough, Celeste had caught her boyfriend cheating on her and kicked him out of their apartment. Now she's on the hook for all the bills, and she needs a job that will pay her more than a teaching assistant's meager salary. In desperation she finds herself at a party on the yacht of Andrew Winter, a playboy oil billionaire, hoping to land a job as his personal assistant. But the gorgeous stranger she ends up talking to isn't Andrew Winter.
In the dim light she couldn't make out the color of his eyes, but it really didn't matter. They were riveted on her, and that was all she cared about at the moment.
What she can see is that he's smoking hot, oozing testosterone, and interested in her. After the hit her ego has taken with her ex, the attention is nice. It isn't going to get him anywhere, but that doesn't mean she can't have fun with it. Who wouldn't take advantage of a little moonlight on a yacht with good company? But no one had bothered to tell Stephen he couldn't have a taste, and now his soft lips are setting her on fire.
Why couldn't she enjoy it for just a little while? It wouldn't hurt anything, would it?

About the Author
Winter’s Heat
DEREK BUZZED CELEST IN AND MET HER at the door with a Crown and Coke.
So he’s out?
Celeste took a quick gulp of her drink and nodded. Late summer in Houston felt a lot like living in a sauna, and she gratefully slumped into the cool embrace of Derek’s gleaming, black leather sofa. Hopefully she wouldn’t stick to the cushions when she tried to get up.
Yeah, all of his stuff was gone when I got home from class.
So were some of her things, but she wasn’t about to admit that to Derek. He would have made an issue of it when all she wanted was the cheating bastard finally out of her life.
Alan had offered to pay for half the rent if she let him leave his things there until his new apartment was ready, and in her financial straits she had not been able to refuse. Of course that meant that rather than making a clean break with the past she remained surrounded by constant reminders of him, and with her apartment looking as though her jerk of an ex-boyfriend had only stepped out for a minute it had been difficult to get past the breakup and try to move on. As she took another sip of her drink Celeste realized her hands were shaking. Derek noticed, too.
It’ll be okay,
he assured her with a sympathetic half-smile. It’s over now.
It had been over six weeks ago, ever since she found out Alan was screwing that little slut who worked in the call center he managed. It had just taken a while for the aftershocks to die away. And it would take even longer for her ego to recover. Again.
She took another gulp of her drink. Why is it that all you men feel so compelled to cheat?
Derek’s face took on an expression of mock indignation and he threw up his hands. Whoa, there. Pump your brakes, kid. I don’t cheat. Cheating requires some level of commitment.
She snickered despite her still-simmering anger. Girls had always found Derek’s bad boy charm irresistible, and the combination of those big, soulful brown eyes with his thick, unruly mop of dark blond hair never failed to lure a constant stream of women into his bed. He took full advantage of every opportunity that presented itself while remaining adamantly single.
All right, you get a pass on that one. If you’ve been in a relationship longer than a one night stand since you started high school I’ve never heard about it.
You deserved a lot better than Alan, anyway. I kept trying to tell you.
Celeste
