Office romance with a sizzle.
~BLURB~
The efficient PA out of her depth…
Samara knows getting attracted to Tahir is like asking for trouble. He is her boss, he’s got divorced recently and has sworn off any commitment. Short term is NOT on her list. But has temptation ever been stronger?
The man who has walled off his heart
Tahir doesn’t want his office protocol disturbed. But Samara might just make him make an exception! An temporary affair seems a solution to his troubles but when he senses her vulnerability, things begin to complicate beyond his control.
Would they go against the rules?
…when the fire is set, it’s hard to avoid the blaze…

~Excerpt~
Tahir
stood with his back to her, the buildings and traffic of Lodhi Road spread out
below, visible through the clear glass of the almost wall-length picture
window. He turned when he heard her.

âLast
evening was a big mistake.â He said without preamble. âI canât tell you how
sorry I am about it. Believe me, I donât make it a habit to get drunk and
accost my staff.â

For
a second she could just stare at him, the rest of his words after big mistake not really penetrating her
brain.

All
night sheâd dreamed wonderful, impossible dreams. Dreams in which heâd
confessed to burning desire and unbridled passion for her. Of course it was all
the end result of reading too many romantic historical novels. She knew how
silly those imaginings were. Still, to have him denounce the kiss that had left
her world spinning as a âbig mistakeâ was a hard lump to swallow.

âItâs
alright.â She said, trying to sound as though it didnât matter. âYou were
upset.â Her thudding heart steadied a bit. Look
on the bright side, Samara. At least he was blaming their kiss on alcohol.

âWhich
doesnât excuse my crappy behavior.â His mouth twisted in self disgust. âI donât
lose control like this usually…last night I was a lost case scenario.â

The
words stung her. How hopeless to desire him when he felt like this about his
wife. Ex wife, that was.

âPlease
donât blame yourself, Tahir. You were drunk.â Samara took a step towards him, âIt
was one of those things that just happen. Thereâs no need for either of us to
get into a tizzy about it. I shouldnât have come to your apartment anyway.â

âNo,

one who initiated that kiss but the fact remains that you didnât resist me. It

The
tide had turned. Her legs trembled a bit. She moistened suddenly dry lips. âWhat
do you mean?â

He
came closer, his tread silent on the deep pile carpet. âWhy did you let me kiss
you, Samara? Why didnât you stop me?â

His
words sent a jolt through her. Had that sharp gaze of his managed to penetrate
and look into her mind? She had known how astute he was. How long before he
pieced everything together to discover the truth of her feelings for him?

She thought quickly. Didnât they say if you
said the truth casually enough, it could pass off without attracting attention?

âWellâŠjust

Dark
eyebrows rose at her admission. She said with more confidence and a touch of
carelessness. âYou do yourself less than justice, Tahir. Youâre idolized by
hundreds of women. So why not me? Youâre attractive and I admit, for a moment,
curiosity got meâŠâ She held her breath. Would he buy that?

âWhatever
your reasons, you crossed the threshold as much as I did. Keep that in mind, if
you talk about it.â

we kissed?â

âWas

would resist the temptation to share it with your friends?â

âWhen
it casts an aspersion on the whole of my sex, I would have to, wouldnât I?â she
said, trying to inject a lighter tone. Then she saw he was really waiting for
her answer and said more seriously, âIt was a matter between you and me, Tahir.
And neither of us stands to gain by making it public. I can assure you, I know
that. Have I ever given you any cause not to depend on me?â

She took a deep breath she hoped he wouldnât notice
and added, âI know we canât have anything spook our work relationship, Tahir.
And I think we are both sensible enough to put that kiss out of our minds.
