Blurb:
When self-professed geek and high school math teacher, Sammy Briars, decides it’s time to live life, she means it. Desperate to put her father’s harsh words behind her, and armed with determination and her life savings, Sammy buys the motorbike she has always dreamed of.
Excited by speed, fast engines, and leather-wearing men, Sammy finds herself in the company of kindred throttle-junkies who know how to live. And in the arms of the hottest biker of all.
Josh Grieve agrees to take his elder brother's bike-touring group on a biking weekend, expecting to see the countryside from the seat of his favorite Suzuki and the chance to kick back from his busy schedule. What Josh doesn’t expect is for his life to be turned inside out by a timid, intelligent woman who rocks a set of bike leathers.

Excerpt:
“Have you even slept yet?” he asked, his gaze turning darker
as he studied her face.
Sammy swallowed and shook her head weakly. “No, not yet. I
can’t seem to fall asleep.” She wondered how she could feel so tired, so weary,
yet wide awake at the same time.
Josh swore loudly and moved to her.
Sammy watched as he climbed onto the bed, his big body
making the mattress dip under his bulky weight. He threaded his arm under her
neck slowly and drew her into his arms. At first Sammy was stiff and confused,
but the more he stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head, the more Sammy
found she relaxed. The pain receded slightly, freeing up her mind and Sammy was
able to catch her breath again.
“You don’t have to do this,” she said weakly, but Josh just
tightened his arm around her, making sure Sammy rested her cheek on his chest.
His heartbeat was a strong sound under her ear and Sammy reveled in the heat
his massive body gave off. They lay in silence for a couple of minutes, and
Sammy would have thought it would be awkward, but the way he held her, gently,
yet sure and strong, had Sammy sinking closer and closer to the comfort he
offered.
“When I was a kid, I broke my arm.” Josh began, breaking the
lazy silence. His deep voice was a lovely rumble against her ear. Sammy smiled
and closed her eyes as she listened to him speak, the sound of his words a balm
to her nerves, a welcome distraction to her pain. “I was climbing trees with my
brother, and as usual, Tony was faster and better at it than me.”
Sammy chuckled at the image. Tony was a stocky, slightly
overweight man, she couldn’t imagine him climbing a tree, let alone fast.
Josh huffed a small sound and stroked his hand idly over
Sammy’s arm. Sammy loved the feeling of his hot, calloused hand as it petted
her, the feeling was comforting … nice. She stayed still and kept her eyes
closed, and she hoped he wouldn’t stop talking, or stroking.
“You might laugh, sweetheart, but in his day, before kids
and a wife, Tony was the coolest lad in town.” Sammy smiled against his chest,
her mind slowly relaxing, the pain less, and all she could concentrate on was
the sound of Josh’s lovely, sexy voice. Especially when he uttered the easy
word, sweetheart. No one ever used an endearment for her, and she found she
liked it, a lot.
“I heard how women ruin good men.” Sammy said teasingly,
even as she yawned against his chest.
“They certainly do.” Josh replied.
Sammy heard the catch in Josh’s voice, and she suddenly
remembered what she’d been told about him being jilted last year. The reminder
sent a strange tense feeling through her body, leaving a cold pain in her lungs.
But Sammy, selfishly, didn’t want to ruin the only time she had ever been
comforted in such a nice way, so she changed the subject back to safer grounds.
“So, how did you break it?” Sammy asked sleepily, eager for
him to continue talking. She snuggled a little closer to Josh’s heat and
sighed, contented.
Josh cleared his throat, but continued his gentle stroking
of her arm. He kissed the top of her head again and Sammy felt tiredness swarm
her mind. She yawned and sighed deeply, sleepiness making her heavy and
relaxed.
“Go
to sleep, Sammy, and I’ll tell you when you wake up.”
