The Opposite of Wild

BLURB:
Unleash
the wild woman…?
Ex-cop
Ryan O'Hare takes one look at buttoned-up control freak Liz Garner and just
itches to loosen the woman up. Not that he’s into her. Because a woman like
that comes with way too many expectations. Not to mention, she practically
works for him, and he didn’t hire Liz to watch after his beloved
Harley-stealing Gran so he could turn Liz loose in his bed. Still, there’s
something about her, a hidden wild side, that makes him wonder what it would
take.
Liz
must be crazy to work for the insensitive, arrogant, horribly…hot man she's
avoided for years. Unfortunately, she needs the money and Ryan's grandmother
needs a keeper. (Midnight tango lessons and ziplines with Gran, anyone?) Ryan's
rare smile and swaggering confidence have Liz torn between throwing her
favorite pinot grigio at his head or throwing herself at him. Can this control
freak find a way to let loose with the tough, no-strings guy who once broke her
heart?
Ryan handed her the check. "Not going to let me
in?"
"I'm having a movie night with Daisy."
"You know I've met Daisy before. She was only a grade
behind me."
"Thank you for the check."
He put a hand on the doorframe above her head and leaned
close. "Gran says she's having fun with you." His silky voice sent
shivers through her.
"Yes," she breathed. He was so close she could see
the golden flecks in his hazel eyes framed by those long lashes.
He grinned. "So you do know how to have fun."
She stiffened at his teasing tone, whirled around and
grabbed the doorknob. He placed a hand over hers on the knob. She looked at his
large hand covering her smaller one and her heart seemed to stop and lurch
painfully forward. "I'm not a puzzle," she told him quietly.
"I’m not fire and ice. You just don't know me."
"I think I do."
She could feel the heat of his body on her back. If she turned
around, she'd be in his arms.
"If you hand deliver my next paycheck"—she
scrambled to think of a suitable threat—"I'll-I'll—"
"You'll what?" His breath was hot on her ear.
"I'll dump ice on you!" She slipped inside and
shut the door. Again she heard his low laugh as he walked away. She wanted to
rip open the door and yell at him some more, but stopped herself because she
didn't want Daisy to see the insanity he provoked in her.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Kylie Gilmore
was lucky enough to discover romance novels at a young age as they were strewn
all over the house (thanks, Mom!). She writes quirky, tender romance with a
solid dose of humor. Her first book in the Clover Park series, The Opposite of
Wild, will launch in January 2014 featuring the oldest of three brothers and
his lady love. The next two books in the series give each brother his dream
girl (eventually).
Kylie lives
in New York with her family, two cats, and a nutso dog. When she's not writing,
wrangling kids, or dutifully taking notes at writing conferences, you can find
her flexing her muscles all the way to the high cabinet for her secret
chocolate stash.
