If he can use her to prove Jack is behind the spiraling downfall of his company, he might be able to turn things around before losing everything.Dean, however, doesn’t count on Gina being everything he never expected, or his heart being in more danger than his business.

He slid a hand up into her hair and tilted her head to deepen their connection even further. His hard body against hers was so warm she’d swear flames licked her flesh from chest to mid thigh.Her senses were reeling when she gradually became aware of loud cheers and catcalls from the crowd around them.What the hell am I doing?She pushed against the stranger’s chest, pulling back even as he leaned forward in an attempt to prolong the kiss. Then it seemed he also became aware of the encouragement from their audience and released her with obvious reluctance.Those brown eyes of his met hers, darker now than before.Shit. During the past ten minutes, she’d never once considered what would happen after the kiss. Now what?He opened his mouth, but before he could speak, she panicked and spun for the door. Showing Jackson she was moving on was one thing, losing all common sense in the process was another.As she pushed through the crowd, a hand grabbed at her arm.“Hey—wait!”She jerked free and felt her sweater whisk across her skin while she moved faster through the swell of bodies threatening to cut off her escape. Once outside, she only spared a quick backward glance before sprinting for her car.Chapter 2Dean Daley fisted the soft material in his hand and shoved through the club door to the parking lot. His gaze scanned the area, focusing on anyone leaving, but the woman who’d just kissed him senseless was nowhere to be seen. Disappeared without a trace.Damn. After a kiss like that, he wanted her name.COLORADO TRUST SERIESEvidence of Trust, Book 1Trust by Design, Book 2 Trust in the Lawe, Book 3Shattered Trust, Book 4Dare to Trust, Book 5Other romantic suspense books by Stacey Joy Netzel:ITALY INTRIGUE SERIESLost in Italy, book 1 **$0.99 SALE April 28-May 4, 2014**Run to Rome, book 2
