Excerpt from TOUCHING THE BOSS
Porn. So much porn.
Lori deleted file after file on the laptop in front of her.
Kyle Drum apparently had quite the collection of adult videos. And, hey, Lori
was all for letting off steam once in a while and getting to know one’s hand a
bit better. But this collection was on a work computer. And it had caused at
least two different viruses and countless malware programs to be installed.
Hell, with the amount of time it would take her to clean up
this damn thing, they might as well toss the stupid computer and buy a new one.
She let out a sigh and clicked on the control panel, but a
pop-up suddenly appeared and a woman with more plastic on her body than fat
appeared and started to pull off her shirt.
“Oh, for the love of—”
“Is this how you normally spend your days?”
Lori twisted around in her chair and her eyes went wide at
the sight of the man who stood at the entrance of her cubicle.
Not just any man. Michael Freakin’ Devereaux. Her jaw
dropped, but no sound managed to come out.
“Are you just going to let her keep going then? I think
she’s about two seconds away from putting that cucumber—”
Lori reached behind her and slammed the laptop shut without
even glancing behind her. She plastered on a smile and tried to pretend
everything was normal. “That’s not my computer. Just cleaning off some
viruses.”
He nodded but didn’t look the slightest bit convinced. “Ms.
Briggs, do you mind coming upstairs with me?”
Upstairs? What the heck was upstairs? He couldn’t be firing
her for this. She could explain. If he would only listen for a few seconds, she
could clarify everything. Tell him that Kyle had been let go and she was trying
to get the computer back to factory specs. Everything had a perfectly
reasonable explanation! “Okay,” was all that came out as she pushed herself up
on shaky legs.

Blurb
Tall. Dark.
Handsome. Sexy. Criminal. All words Lori Briggs can use to describe her billionaire
boss, Michael Devaroux. Without enough evidence to go to the police and not
enough in her paltry savings account to quit on a moral basis, she's forced to
work with the criminal mastermind until she can get a new job, but he has plans
for her that go far beyond the office…
Michael
Devereaux is the glue that holds his volatile family together. Between his
hotheaded brother and criminally crazy cousin, Michael needs to be calm and
collected at all times. Even the times that require working with the FBI to
bring down the family enemies. Until the FBI can finish their work, he needs to
play the bad guy and keep Lori from spilling the things she knows to the wrong
people.
Michael needs
to spend as much time with Lori as possible to make sure everything goes
according to plan, but the more she comes to trust him, the harder it is to
keep his lies straight. Will Michael ever be able to put love first when family
is the only thing he's ever had?
