DARE TO SURRENDER
(Dare To Love #3) by Carly
Phillips:
After ending a relationship
to a cheating, domineering man, Isabelle Masters takes off in her leased
Mercedes, only to be arrested for grand theft and hauled to a local police
station. To her surprise, she is rescued by the most unlikely person possible,
Gabriel Dare, a man she’s been attracted to for far too long. Gabe offers
Isabelle freedom along with an invitation to Eden, an exclusive island resort
where everything and anything is possible.
Although Gabe yearns to possess Isabelle,
he knows all too well he must fight his primitive need to bind her to him, and
instead help bring out the independent woman she yearns to become – or risk
losing her for good.
A woman who needs to run her own life. A
man who needs to exert control. Can she surrender to his erotic demands without
losing her sense of self once more?
The Dare To Love series by Carly
Phillips:
New York Times Bestselling Author Carly Phillips
turns up the heat in her newest sexy contemporary romance series, and
introduces you to the Dare family... siblings shaped by a father's secrets and
betrayal.
Excerpt:
Gabe
silently thanked God his houseguest escaped into the shower as soon as she
possibly could. The tour of the house
had just about done him in. Isabelle’s
oohs and aahs had been genuine, as had her love of his favorite room in the
place. Unlike Naomi, who had taken one
look at his apartment and immediately begun calculating how she could move in
permanently, Isabelle, who he had invited, not only wanted to pay her way but
she planned to leave as soon as possible.
Not
if he had his way.
Back
at the police station, outside in the rain, it’d been all he could do not to
reach out and swipe his hands over her responsive nipples, feel her tremble
beneath his touch, and get rid of the ridiculous distance between them. He might not know her well, but he’d always
felt they’d connected. The physical
attraction was obvious. She was all
woman, supple curves, her breasts full and lush, and she possessed one hell of
an ass. His cock twitched with the
desire he’d felt from the moment he’d first seen her on Daltry’s arm.
But
things ran deeper. They’d shared banter
and flirting during opportune moments when he’d caught her alone. He’d had glimpses of the intelligent, witty
woman she was when not with that pompous ass.
But not until today had he really seen beyond the exterior beauty to the
depth beneath. Those sexy blonde curls
that bounced wildly around her face were a proud testament to the fiercely
independent woman she desperately wanted to be.
The
woman he intended to help her find.
It
wouldn’t be easy. Isabelle needed
gentling. Understanding. Patience.
Not his best traits, but when it came to her, he’d already exercised
plenty. He’d bided his time, knowing
Daltry would fuck up sooner or later.
The balls that made him a crack financial investor also imbued an
arrogance that would be his downfall.
And it had been.
It
was Gabe’s good fortune that Daltry’s screw-up had landed Isabelle at his
brother’s police station. Seeing her
there had given him insight he wouldn’t have had otherwise. In Isabelle, he saw an intriguing combination
of weary life experience and innocent ingenue.
It was the innocence the most primitive part of him wanted to conquer,
to possess. Since he'd begun running his
father's empire at the age of twenty-one, the same age he'd been drafted into
surrogate parenthood to his sister, he had always gotten what he wanted.
And
Gabe wanted Isabelle.
