Straight-laced Emmie has the perfect solution: Distraction, play dumb and a lot of fake support calls. Easy-peasy.
There’s only one downside: Emmie has to put herself directly in the line of the fire, making Jake turn his attention to the shy termagant ruining his day.
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:
While Emmie sat in Jake’s car a few hours later, she thought about her new discovery. She gave him a sidelong glance as he concentrated on driving out of the parking lot.
“You’re awfully quiet today. Is something wrong?” Jake asked.
He was too astute. “No, nothing,” Emmie said quickly. “Just a little tired, that’s all.”
He gave her a quick glance. “Anything you want to share?”
“No, I was just thinking.”
“About us?”
He was a mind reader. How could he stay one step ahead of her all the time?
“No, it’s just a task that I have,” she lied easily. The wound was still fresh and open. She didn’t want to add to the pain. It was better to let the matter rest and try to enjoy her time with him. It would probably not last long, so why waste time figuring out what he felt or not. It wasn’t his fault that she probably felt stronger about him than he did about her. What could she do if he couldn’t return her feelings? Absolutely nothing. She didn’t want him to lie and tell her he loved her if he didn’t feel that way. Maybe it was better not to know when the truth could hurt her so much.

'Ada Stuart' is the pen name of a Scandinavian reader that has turned writer - since no one else seems to be writing what I like to read.
I simply adore strong-willed heroines and stories with lots of sexy dialogue, so basically, that's what I write.
It all started as a challenge from my husband – and that challenge has resulted in 80 novels and shorter stories, most of which can be found under my pen name. So, feel free to stop by for more stories.
My favourite genre is and has always been Erotic romance, but with a background from IT programming and Biology, my stories are often influenced by that.
