Tempting a King
Finnegan King is the sexiest man in town, maybe the state. I can't be sure. I don't get out all that much. I'm certain he's in the top 5 at least. He's the only man I've been remotely interested in since my ex-husband left me and our infant son in this town 8 years ago, never to be heard from again. Unfortunately for me, Finn's also my boss and one of my closest friends. Which means he's off-limits. Even if I were willing to cross that line (which I'm totally, absolutely not), there's no way Finn ever would. He's known for being dependable, predictable, reliable. He's never once shown a hint of interest in me beyond professionalism and friendship. Not that I want him to. Because as I said, he's off-limits. I might be single, boring and borderline desperate, but I won't make a move on my boss. No matter how hot he is.When a guest at the B&B spends his stay flirting with me, I'm flattered, but not interested. When it happens in front of Finn, I'm shocked to see a flash of unexpected anger from my normally calm boss. If I didn't know better, I'd say he was jealous. But that can't be. Can it? One night in Finn's office, he stuns me with a confession. I'm not strong enough to turn away from the need I see in his eyes. Did I say I wouldn't cross that line? Whoops. Can two friends find a way to be more without ruining what we have? What happens when we give into temptation?
