Please welcome my guest blogger, the very talented Ravenna Tate with
SURRENDERING TO CHANCE
BLURB
Valerie
Garfield has loved her boss, Grayson Jensen, CEO of Jensen Software and Web
Development, for two years. They had a fling that lasted six months and ended
when Valerie told Grayson she loved him, but he didn’t want the same things
from their relationship that she did. Now, he wants another chance to prove
he’s a changed man and only wants Valerie.
As they
work side by side toward uncovering the names of more hackers, can Valerie
fight her feelings, or will she end up with a broken heart once again?
Grayson
is part of a group of friends financing the efforts to put a stop to The
Madeline Project. The program now has a mind of its own, thanks to a virus
called Tommy Twister. These men have power, resources, and money, but they’re
as ruthless and possessive as the storms ravaging Earth.
They call
themselves the Weathermen…

EXCERPT
The look
in his eyes nearly took her breath away. A combination of lust and uncertainty
filled them, and all she wanted to do was fall into his warm, strong arms and
let the memories of their six months together become part of her reality once
more. He was so familiar, but everything had now changed between them.
“I’m not
assuming anything tonight. I only wanted to tell you that I had an amazing
time, and you look … you look so damn beautiful, Valerie. Thank you for this.
All of this. I won’t make you regret giving me another chance.”
“Thank
you for trusting me with the company secrets.” She was too overwhelmed to say
anything else.
“I don’t
want to talk about work.”
“What
would you like to talk about?”
She could
feel the heat coming off his body in waves. His expression turned almost
desperate, and she hated that. She didn’t want to torture the poor guy,
especially since it was obvious they both wanted the same thing.
“Never
mind,” she said, stepping closer. “Talking is overrated.” Valerie kissed him,
tentatively at first, but she needn’t have worried whether she’d read him
wrong. He captured her mouth in a kiss so damn hot she was surprised the carpet
under their feet didn’t catch fire.
He moved
his hands from her shoulders to her face, cupping it so tightly it almost hurt.
She moaned into his open mouth, letting it all happen. The sensations racing
through her were both familiar and fresh, probably because she hadn’t had sex
in forever. It didn’t matter why. All she knew was that it felt so damn right,
and she didn’t want to be anywhere else.
Grayson
released her mouth and moved to her neck, planting soft kisses up and down it.
“Valerie … oh my God, it feels so fucking good to kiss you again.”
“I can hardly
breathe right now.”
He gazed
into her eyes. “In a good way, right? I mean, you’re okay with this.”
“Yes,
Grayson. Absolutely.” Before she lost her nerve, Valerie dropped her bag on the
floor and reached around to unzip her dress. He stepped back, a drop-dead sexy
grin on his face as she let the garment fall to the floor. She stepped out of
it, and then removed her sandals and stood in front of him clad only in a lacy
half bra and panties that matched the dress.
“Keep
going.”
His voice
was gruff and commanding, and it sent shivers up and down her spine. She
unhooked the bra and let it fall, then slid off the panties. She’d been naked
in front of him before so that was nothing new, but she swore she couldn’t
remember him gazing at her like this. As if she was a precious gem he’d just
dug out of the rock himself, and no one had ever seen anything like it.
She had
to blink back tears while his gaze traveled slowly over her body. He didn’t
touch her, which was even more arousing. When he finally did reach for her,
gently, as if she might break if he wasn’t careful, she moaned loudly and threw
herself into his arms.
Valerie
had always enjoyed making love to Grayson. He was skilled and he knew it. She’d
always found that confidence very sexy. This felt different on his part. Or
maybe she’d just been away from it too long?
He kissed
her again, shoving his tongue into her mouth while his hands ran down her back,
then over her ass, and finally came up to cup her breasts. He rolled her
nipples between his thumbs and forefingers the way she loved, then grasped her
ass again and smacked each cheek, hard.
She
pulled away from the kiss, her clit throbbing now. “Oh God. You know how much I
always loved it when you spanked me.”
“Too bad
I didn’t bring my favorite flogger along on the trip.”
She
giggled, her arousal rising to crazy heights. “We’ll have to improvise.”
“Maybe
later.” He pulled her close again. “Right now if I don’t get inside you, I’m
going to fucking explode.”
