After being ditched at the
altar, Finn Kneale isolates himself at Port St. Mary’s magnificent lighthouse.
A violent storm ravishes the coastline, pitching the maritime tower into the
Irish sea and transforming Finn into a seal. Carefree at first, he soon longs
to walk as a man again. When leap year arrives, bathing land and sea in magic,
Finn temporarily regains his human form. If he can’t find his soul mate in
twenty-four hours, he’ll be back to cavorting among the waves.
Anne Ward—resident midwife and newcomer to Port
St. Mary, Isle of Man—guards some wild secrets of her own while avoiding
entanglements with married doctors. A believer in fate, she seeks out
Madame Eve’s exclusive agency to help find her
destined mate. 1Night Stand matches these two lonely souls. But will their
extraordinary date allow Finn and Anne to open their hearts to magical
possibilities and Seal the Deal?
His stomach muscles
pulled taut and lust pulsed through his groin, slamming the need home. So long
he’d waited. His breeks grew tight, bringing attention to what he wanted—needed
with growing desperation. He had to have her.
Now.
Finn yanked her in,
closing all distance between them, and swept his tongue over hers. His swollen
shaft pressed against her. The hair on his nape prickled. He wasn’t sure what
excited him more, the prospect of making love to her, of having skin to skin
contact, or her ability to end his curse.
He thrust forward,
groaning.
“Slow down.” She
panted and shoved, palms flat against his chest, but he stood firm and she
stumbled back a few steps, landing on the bed with her legs apart. She peered
up at him from behind her tousled curls, her low gaze focused on his lips.
Moonlight bounced from her locks, shimmering deep-red low-lights and reflecting
a warm tint over her perfect complexion.
If this was how he’d
spent the rest of his years, he couldn’t wait to get started, to see her naked.
To feast upon her beauty as she walked down the aisle.
The temptress had
said slow down, but her almond-shaped eyes and her pout begged him to keep
trying. No retreat, this is it. Giving up is not an option.
A new found confidence
rushed through him, and a grin broke free. Boundaries usually standing between
him and pleasure were nowhere in sight, his desire to invoke their connection
too strong to deny, to let his awkwardness get in the way. He dared to drop
over her, caging her in and pushing her into the mattress. Hazel eyes held him
captive. He couldn’t steal away if he wanted to.
