Enjoy our next snipped from The Heist – I think maybe he remembers!
EXCERPT
Ted Springs scanned the small crowd waiting to greet passengers over the heads of others disembarking in front of him. He spotted Kara immediately—she stood at the edge of the crowd and gave a tentative wave when she recognized him.
He nodded in return, trying to be patient with the older ladies ahead of him and a family with two young children.
Wearing a simple pink dress that buttoned down the front and fell nearly to the knees, Kara Daniels looked both professional and sexy. Tossing dark hair over her shoulder, she looked much more collected than when he’d last seen her, but then this was not a surprise meeting.
His chest tightened as he neared her. Her breasts were as substantial as he’d remembered. He could still feel them crushing into his chest outside Alice’s office. That had been a shock—a shock he definitely wanted to re-experience.
Kara extended her hand in greeting—so much for a repeat hug.

A Heist? A Murder?
It’s villain’s choice.
A special-order art theft? Tedious, but seamless – until small town museum director Kara Daniels calls in the experts. Furious her favorite trio of priceless impressionist paintings has been stolen from its traveling exhibit on her watch, Kara is determined to save not only the paintings, but her future in the art world. She’ll stop at nothing to entrap the thief.
Ted Springs knows the underbelly of the criminal world a little closer than he might like—but he’s turned it to good advantage, first as a police officer, and now as detective for the Upper Midwest Arts Council. His job? To guarantee the security of the valuable paintings in the Council’s traveling exhibits.
Heat sizzles when Ted and Kara collide—can they work together, before it’s too late?

So he definitely hasn’t forgotten their run-in. Looks like she’s determined not to have another!
Good for her, holding him off. Interesting snippet!
Yup, he remembered her alright
Great description. Easy to visualize. I’m glad she’s not doing a repeat trip and tumble into him. 🙂
Great (and slightly steamy!) description!
Did he honestly expect a repeat in front of all these little old ladies and families? Of course not, but a guy can always fantasize.
Love how you show that the smallest of gestures, like a tentative wave, can be more powerful than something full on and sexy.
Great tension you’re building here. Good job.
Sensual snippet. I can feel his anticipation. Good job.
