The Opposite of Wild
by Kylie
Gilmore

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?

Excerpt:
Ryan just stood there, his sharp eyes studying her.
"You're a puzzle, Liz."
"I am?"
He reached out and smoothed a lock of hair behind her ear,
and her heart caught in her throat at the gentle gesture. "You seem
so…uptight," he said. She stiffened and took a step back. "But I know
you were checking me out when I was mowing."
She flushed, but rallied quickly. "I was only bringing
you water." She crossed her arms and said primly, "You surprised me
when you dumped the water on your head. I was merely looking to see if you were
going to do any other…surprising things."
His lips twitched. "You're like a librarian just
waiting to let loose."
"Is that supposed to be a compliment?" she
bristled, hands on her hips.
"There it is." He smiled and stepped close,
crowding her space. She drew in a quick breath, but held her ground. "The
puzzle—fire and ice."
She put both hands on his solid chest and pushed him out the
door. "Next time, mail it." She shut the door in his face, turned and
leaned against it. "Urgh!"
"That's what I'm talking about," he said through
the door.
She ripped open the door. "Go away."
His head cocked to the side while he bit back a smile.
"Is that any way to talk to your employer?"
"Gah!" She slammed the door and locked it. She
heard his low laugh as he walked away.

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.
