AMANDA UHL ( Cont .) MIND WAVES
BLURB :
If he can control her mind …
Government operative David Jenkins is skilled at controlling his emotions . Feelings are lethal when your job is to infiltrate minds , erase and implant thoughts , and guard the nation ’ s intellectual capital . But even he can ’ t fight his strange attraction to Grace Woznisky . He ’ ll do whatever it takes to protect her from a madman intent on possessing both their minds . Neither suspect their dangerous enemy has a larger motive , and David may be Grace ’ s only chance for survival . Can he control her heart ? All freelance artist Grace wants is steady-paying work and to see her flighty sister to the altar . But after David offers her a job , she finds herself in the middle of a mental tug of war — one that has her reeling from nightmares and fighting for her life . She must decide : Are her growing feelings for her new boss authentic , or is she a victim of his mind-altering abilities ?
EXCERPT :
The odd tingling sensation , which she had experienced once before on the beach , formed at the base of her skull and spread throughout her body . What was happening ? Her heart beat hard , tapping out a fast rhythm . Oliver barked once , as if sensing her emotion . Grace took a calming breath and instead of resisting , gave herself up to the electrical current that seemed to run between them . David pulled away from her . “ Grace , look at me .” Dazed , she obeyed , but it was difficult to focus on his lips , when all she wanted to do was kiss them . She forced herself to look into his green eyes and found them dark with desire . Grace shivered .
“ I want you , Grace . More than you can possibly know . But you need to … understand something about me first .”
“ What ?” she asked , breathless , surprised to hear the trembling passion in her own voice .
“ I don ’ t share . And contrary to what you may think , I don ’ t sleep around . If we are … intimate … then I ’ ll want more than a one-night stand .”
