Taming the Grump - Book 3: Enemies to Lovers Erotic Romance

Straight-laced Emmie has the perfect solution: Distraction, play dumb and a lot of fake support calls. Easy-peasy.

But what happens when Jake sees through her shenanigans and decides it’s payback time? Particularly when he turns his revenge into a sexual battle, leaving Emmie so hot and bothered that she can’t see straight.

Still, losing is never an option. Even if Emmie must step out of her comfort zone and use every dirty trick she can think of.

But in the end, will she be able to tame the beast – or will he tame her?

Excerpt:

After dinner, they walked back to their cars. Jake had lent her his arm again, and Emmie liked to feel his warmth beside her.

“Have you changed your mind?” Jake asked.

“I’ve had a wonderful evening,” Emmie started.

“Will it end here, or will you prolong it?”

“Let’s give it a try,” Emmie plunged into it. “Would you like to go to my place?”

“I’d love to. But I’ll have to bring my car. I can follow you.”

Emmie drove ahead, constantly looking in the rear mirror to ensure he was following. She was living by her instincts. She would probably have said no if she had taken the time to think rationally about this. But, right now, it felt the right thing to do. There would be plenty of time for regrets later, but she knew she would regret it even more if she didn’t give their relationship a chance. Parking in front of her house, she stepped away from her car and waited for him to do the same.

“I thought you said you had an apartment. This looks more like a house,” Jake said as he looked at the building in front of them.

“It’s a small attached house. Almost like an apartment.”

“I like it. You even have a terrace.“

“Come inside,” Emmie said as she unlocked the door. “It’s only two bedrooms, but that’s enough for me.”

“We only need one for what I have in mind,” Jake said. He turned toward her and held out his hand.

Emmie closed the door behind them before walking into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him toward her. Standing on her tiptoes, she planted a kiss on his mouth.

“I’ll be damned. You’re taking command. I thought I was to run the show.”

“You move too slow, Jake,” Emmie said teasingly as she unbuttoned his shirt.

Jake laughed. “Damn, you’re really something, darling,” he said as he helped her open the remaining buttons of his shirt.

She pulled his t-shirt up from his pants, desperate to feel his naked skin against her hands. She moved her hands across his stomach and toward his nipples before moving slowly to his shoulders.

“Wrong way,” he breathed. “There are more interesting things further down.”
