<SYNOPSIS>
A satisfying category romance from Entangled’s brand new Lovestruck imprint…
Seducing the enemy has never been so tempting…
For the last five years, bookish Claire Williams has been living for the dying. Now that her stint as caretaker is over, she’s off to see the world. She needs quick cash first, so a temp job at Anderson Auctions seems perfect, especially with the unexpected benefits, including the hottest man she’s ever laid eyes—or hands—on.
Former Marine William Anderson has been burned one time too many. His military training makes him the perfect man to flush out the spy undercutting his family business, but no amount of training can prepare him for the kind of undercover work he’ll have to do when the sexy new temp is implicated. Desire lands them in bed…but duty may cost him his heart.

<EXCERPT>
An hour or so later, movement drew her eye to the set of doors across
the lobby again. Will backed through the threshold, his attention held by
something or someone inside.
Mmm. What a fantastic view. Wide shoulders, trim waist, and yum, the
way those pants fit over his tight...
He turned suddenly, and piercing blue eyes met hers as if he’d read her
thoughts or something. One dark eyebrow arched and he smiled, confirming he
knew she’d been checking him out.
Well, shit. Totally busted. She
returned his smile in a failed attempt at nonchalance, then pretended to go
back to work, eyes glued to her monitor. The words on the screen might as well
have been in Greek, as her body responded to the man who’d smiled from across
the lobby with a jolt of adrenaline that made her clothes feel too heavy and
tight. What on earth was going on? Maybe being on her own for the first time
was affecting her sense of reason—or jump- starting her hormones. “Do not look
at him,” she muttered under her breath.
“Why not?”
Shit, shit, shit. How had he sneaked up so silently? A big man like
that should lumber like a bear, not slink soundlessly. She took a deep breath,
eyes still fixed on the screen. This was embarrassing, not fatal. Since
Claire-isms were a constant of her everyday life, she’d grown a thick skin and
tended to simply own her mistakes outright. “Because, Mr. Anderson, I need to
be looking at the computer monitor, not you. This description has to be edited
by lunch.”
He leaned against her doorframe, seeming surprised by her honesty. And
intrigued. He studied her for a beat, as though making up his mind about
something, and then nodded slightly. “Well, I have the perfect solution. Look
at your monitor until lunch, then look at me during lunch.”
Had he just asked her out?
He was her boss or something. Surely there was a rule against this. And that
alone made her want to accept—to finally break a rule and do something
irresponsible, unexpected, or forbidden.
Her pulse stuttered. Yes. She wanted to say yes, and he knew it. A satisfied smile stretched his mouth, and Claire realized she was way out of her depth.
