Title: Off the Record
Author: K.A. Linde
Release: March 11, 2014 by Montlake Romance
Blurb:
Liz Dougherty has no idea that a single question is about to
change her life.
Her first big reporting assignment for her North Carolina
college newspaper has her covering a state senator’s impromptu press
conference. Brady Maxwell may have everything it takes to be a politician—a
winning pedigree, devastating good looks, a body made to wear suits—but his
politics rub Liz the wrong way. When Liz’s hard-hitting question catches the
upstart senator off-guard, it impresses Hayden Lane, Liz’s editor who feels
she’s headed for a promising career as a reporter.
But Liz is also headed into a secret romance with Brady that
could destroy both their ambitions. Though he’s a bachelor, potential voters
might frown on Brady cozying up to a reporter. And Liz isn’t sure sneaking
around is enough for her—especially when things between her and Hayden might be
less platonic than she thought.
K.A. Linde’s Record series begins with a sleek, sexy, and
smart venture into a high-stakes political campaign and an even higher-stakes
affair that, in the end, will leave you wanting more with one of Linde’s
gripping cliffhangers.
Excerpt:
Before she had a chance to retort, Brady slammed her
backward into the door frame, her body colliding with the hard wooden door. She
heard a dull thud echo around the room and wondered if the sound was as loud on
the outside. Would people know what they were doing in the dark hotel room? Did
she care?
She stared from under thick, black lashes at the man before
her, seized with her growing desire. His hands came down hard and fast on
either side of her head, rapping against the wood. She felt the vibrations ring
in her ears, and her heart sped up double time. She stared up at him, trapped
in his deep chocolaty eyes, lost to the world she lived in. His eyes consumed
her, devoured her, absorbed her—and she was fully clothed.
Fuck! She wanted him. She wanted him badly enough that she
all but begged him to continue. She could feel the heat radiating off of their
bodies, the electrifying atmosphere, and the ever-present tension from the
minimal space between them. He was so close, so damn close. His lips were
hovering only inches above her, tempting her, teasing her. She swallowed hard,
her chest heaving with the exertion it took to not throw herself at him.
“Brady,” she groaned as his hand moved from the doorframe to
trail gingerly across her cheek, flutter down the curve of her neck, brush
against her exposed collarbone, and continue to her breast and waist. She
thought she might combust.
“No talking,” he growled, circling his arm around her waist
and pulling her hips away from the wall. Her feet slid forward against the
carpeted floor as he pushed himself against her, his lower half covering her
body. Her breath caught at the feel of him through his suit pants. Damn!
Liz tried to hold her focus, but she was having trouble
thinking about anything but what he was pressing up against her. She was
burning with desire and any thought of stopping had flown out the window when
she had been thrown up against the door. Not that she had ever given any real
thought to it to begin with.
Brady leaned forward, pressing against her harder, and
kissed the same trail he had made with his hand. She whimpered trying to keep
from squirming at his slow progression. His grip on her waist tightened as he
kissed across her breast and down her stomach. She could hardly keep her eyes
open, but she had to watch him as he knelt before her.
She would never forget the day she brought a
Senator to his knees.
