His glistening wet skin brushed against mine. I longed for his mouth. He read my mind. “Ms. Long, you obviously need to be kissed. And kissed often by a man who knows how.”
In a heartbeat, he consumed my mouth again, sending carnal waves of desire to my core. I could feel his erection digging into me as I squeezed my legs around him. My hand fisted his slick wet hair. He moaned and I moaned back.
I don’t know how long we stayed in this position, when a crotchety voice brought us abruptly to our senses.
“I wish I could do that.”
We had company. A slight, elderly, balding man, who was wearing swim trunks two sizes too big for him, was hunched over above us. My face flushed with embarrassment.
“Don’t let age stop you,” chuckled my companion, not the least bit embarrassed.
“Can you find me one as pretty as her?” cackled the octogenarian and then plowed into the pool with a loud splash-worthy belly flop. He swam away, in quite good form for a man his age.
“Guess I won’t be able to fuck you here.”
The F-word resounded in my head. Now what was I getting myself into? And why wasn’t I running away?
Jaime hauled himself out of the pool and then helped me out. He wrapped me up in my fluffy white robe and then slipped on his. He held me against him, and again I was unable to resist. It felt so good to lay my head on his strong chest against the soft terry cloth.
“Come on, let’s take a hot shower together,” he said softly in my ear.
“In your suite?” I gasped.
“No, here. There’s a great handicapped steam shower in the men’s room.” He pressed his heavy erection against me. “And right now, I’d say I’m handicapped.”

Sarah Greene’s life is a mess. She’s the low-paid assistant to a tyrannical toy company executive; she can barely pay her rent; her social life sucks, and she’s worried sick about her cancer-stricken mother.
Her life changes when a drop-dead handsome stranger seduces her on a train. Completely out of character, Sarah surrenders herself to him. He turns out to be one of Manhattan’s hottest billionaires, Ari Golden. Impossibly attracted to her, Ari makes Sarah his own personal toy with one caveat: he will not play with her in his bedroom or hers. Spending the night with him is off limits. There are secrets looming—dark ones that stand in the way of a real relationship. As Sarah falls deeper in love with her sexy Trainman, she wonders—can she free him from the demons that have damaged him?

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I have so many people to thank. Trust me, it’s taken a village to write the THAT MAN trilogy.
First, I want to thank my family for letting me write. They’ve had to put up with so much, including late-night dinners and pre-made ones that come straight from the freezer case. Thank goodness for Trader Joe’s! My husband, despite his own busy schedule, has been especially helpful, picking up the mommy slack while I’ve sat, what feels like 24/7 behind a computer. One of these days, I’m going to watch TV again with everyone.
I am also grateful to my supportive beta readers who didn’t hold back and gave me insightful suggestions. They include in alphabetical order: Michele Coddington, Tracy Graver, Cindy Meyer, Kim Pinard Newsome, Jasmine Roman, Nicole Scott, Jennifer Moshe, and Karen Silverstein. I’d also like to acknowledge three dear, early readers who hold a special place in my heart—Amber Escalera, Kellie Fox, and Sheena Reid.
A big thank-you goes to Karen Lawson for proofing my books and making me laugh with her comments, Arijana Karcic for the beautiful covers, and my formatter, Paul Salvette, who patiently put up with all my revisions. A hug belongs to my writer BFFs, Adriane Leigh and Arianne Richmonde, who kept cheering me on. What would I do without your endless e-mails? And special thanks goes to my incredible assistant, Gloria Herrera, who worked tirelessly to get me through the boxed set release and provided all those wonderful graphic teasers and videos you’ve seen on Facebook. I’m truly blessed to have her in my life.
I’ve talked about the community of book bloggers in this trilogy. Writers, especially independent ones like me, are beholden to them. They work so hard to get our books into readers’ hands. There are so many to thank, but I am especially grateful to Mary Tatar/Love Between the Sheets for organizing my THAT MAN 3 blog tour as well as to the lovely Kylie McDermott and George Turney/Give Me Books Promotions for spearheading the THAT MAN TRILOGY Cover Reveal and Release Blitz. A shout-out also goes to those, who have gone out of their way with their kindness and support. In random order because I’m too tired to alphabetize: Cindy Meyer and Debra Presley/The Book Enthusiast, Jen Oreto/Winding Stairs Book Blog, Ellen Widom/The Book Bellas, Desirae Shie/Book Boyfriend Reviews, Lisa Pantaro Kane and Jennifer Skewes/Three Chicks and Their Books, Mags Pereira/SMI Book Club, Becky Barney/Fairest of All Book Reviews, Jennifer Noe/The Book Blog, and Sheeba Ellison/Bedtime Reads, and Gloria Herrera/As You Wish Reviews. Last but not least, the lovely Jennifer McCoy/Sub Club Books, who, by a strange fate, shares the same name as Blake’s tiger. Talking about karma!
Finally, I want to thank my readers. You are so special and I love hearing from you. Your kind, inspirational words always brighten my day. You make every I-want-to-pull-out-my-hair moment worth it. I write because I adore you.
Thank you, all, from the bottom of my heart for being there for me. This is never an easy journey. I feel blessed.
♥ MWAH!
PLAYLIST
I wrote much of the THAT MAN trilogy over Christmas 2013, so naturally Christmas songs, both classic and pop, influenced my writing. As some of you, dear readers, may know, I LOVE Christmas songs and could listen to them to all year round. I also saw the animated movie Frozen over Christmas with my twin daughters; the journeys of the two heroines and the hero, along with the songs, also inspired the story of Jennifer and Blake.
