Wanted: Wife by Lacey Wolfe
Help Wanted: A Wife
Darcy White can't believe she's
answering a help wanted ad from someone looking to hire a wife, but she's hit
rock bottom and is on the verge of being evicted from her apartment. When she
learns that the guy she had a crush on in high school is the one looking to
hire, she'd be crazy not to live out her fantasy.
Steven McDonald needs a wife, or at
least a fiancée, before his grandfather retires or else he won't inherit the
family business. He knows not just any woman will do, and in a desperate
attempt to find a solution, he places a help wanted ad in the local paper. The
day Darcy White answers it, his dreams begin to come true.
As Darcy and Steven pretend they're
engaged, they make a promise to keep things platonic. But the more time they
spend together, the harder it is to keep their hands off one another. With his
grandfather's retirement approaching, and the possible end to their fake
engagement, can Steven and Darcy admit their feelings to not only themselves
but each other?

Excerpt:
"I'm making coffee, want
any?" Darcy called from the kitchen.
As Steven entered the kitchen he
said, "I'd love a cup."
Steven leaned against the counter.
Darcy poured water into the coffee maker and then scooped the coffee in. After
she pressed the brew button, she turned and stared back at him.
"That wasn't so bad," he
said.
She nodded. "Yeah, it was
okay."
Steven laughed. "Your parents
were kind." He reached his hand out toward her.
Darcy walked to him, taking his
hand.
"Your dad gave us his
blessing."
"I had no doubt he would. Your
family is well known."
Steven wasn't sure what had come
over him, maybe it was the scotch he'd shared with her dad, but he couldn't
resist the beautiful woman in front of him. He tugged her to him, and her body
molded against his perfectly. With his free hand, he pushed her hair behind her
ear and then pressed his lips to hers. He expected resistance from her, but she
opened up right away, wanting the kiss as much as he did.
Sliding his hand around her neck,
he tilted her head so he could deepen the kiss. Her fingers danced around his
waist and the little sensation went straight to his groin. Releasing her hand,
he gripped her waist and pulled her into him. He was hard and it pressed into
her and she didn't seem to mind. Damn this woman! She should be pushing away
from him, reminding him they were to stay friends, but instead he kept hoping
her hand would find its way lower.
Could they do this once and then
pretend it never happened? His erection was telling him yes, but his brain was
telling him no. He started to pull away from the kiss, but Darcy wouldn't let
him.
God, he was turned on and wanted to
touch her, taste her, explore her. He needed her!
"Stop, Darcy." He pushed
her off him.
She stepped back, a shocked look on
her face.
"I can't control myself. I
want to take you to bed so bad."
"I want that too." She
moved closer to him again and wrapped her arm around his neck and let her other
hand dangle at his waistband. "Can't we have a little fun?"
Do it or not? Yes or no? His core
ached and taunted him. Taking a deep breath, he decided to listen to the head
below.
He lifted Darcy up and sat her on
the counter. His lips were everywhere. Her neck, collarbone. His hands were
greedy as they worked the buttons on her blouse. "Stop me now,
Darcy."
She gazed into his eyes and then
cupped his erection through his pants. "No."
"No turning back?"
"No turning back."
