Heartbreaker Blog Hop

I do love a Heartbreaker Hero. Not the arrogant, player type but the 'I'll push you away 'cause I think you're too good for me' type. We get to see their vulnerability beyond the bravado and fall in love with them as easily as the heroine does. Of course the pride and honour thing only works until the leading man realises what a dick he's being and we finally get our happy ending!

 

And it goes without saying he has to be drop dead gorgeous...

Take Smith Masterson, for example. My Texas Ranger from Into the Wild.

He's so concerned with protecting Laurie from hurt further down the line, he's slow to react when she's offering herself on a plate. The poor girl is forced to take matters into her own hands...


Excerpt

 

“We’re not going to my house.”

“We’re not?”

“Nope.” Laurie tugged his hand impatiently and giggled. “You’re

going to jail. Do not pass go; do not collect $200.”

“Jail, huh?” Smith smiled and waited patiently whilst she

unlocked the door.

“I thought you might like to see it.”

“Sure. Thanks.” He looked flummoxed, but it was all part of

her great seduction plan.

They stepped inside the stone enclave, and she flicked on the

solitary light bulb hanging from the ceiling. There really wasn’t much

to see – the cell, the sheriff’s desk and a few sepia wanted posters.

“The cell’s open if you want to get the feel for the life of a

wanted man.”

He did her bidding, filling the tiny space with his

overwhelming presence, leaving little room for a cellmate. The bars

no barrier to this woman on a mission however, she nipped in behind

him.

Boldly advancing on her captive, she pushed him against the

metal holding.

“In here? Really?” He looked faintly amused whilst she busied

herself kissing the exposed skin at his throat.

Holding his hands behind his back and fastening her mouth to

his, his attention was side-tracked. It enabled her to keep him captured

in one hand, whipping out the item concealed in her pocket with the

other.

Clamping a fluffy pink handcuff to each wrist, she anchored

him securely around the bars of the cell.

“What the hell?” He yanked at the cuffs in a vain attempt to

break free.

“Tonight, I’m making sure you finish the job. No more lame

excuses or unwarranted gentlemanly behavior.” Each word was

punctuated with an extra slice of manly chest as she unbuttoned his

shirt. “This is all about sex, pure and simple.”

With the last button open, she ripped the shirt wide exposing

his tanned torso in totality. Those lovely brown eyes had turned a

menacing black, but he didn’t speak. She was glad; she was past the

point of no return and selfishly intent on filling the void he had

created. Trailing the tip of her tongue along the perfect line of

symmetry between his pecs, she dipped dangerously low.

Kneeling before him, she heard him suck in a breath through

clenched teeth. That dang belt buckle mocked her, but this time it was

no match for her lust. She slid the leather belt off with deliberate

slowness, wanting to drive him mad with helplessness. Making eyecontact

from her provocative position, she peeled away the barrier of

clothing shielding him from skin on skin contact.
