“We could get married. ”
If Violet had nailed him with a cattle prod, JT couldn’t have been more stunned. ”Married?”
“In name only, of course. ” She offered him a cheeky grin. ”There’s nothing in my uncle’s will that prevents me from marrying the shares away. ”
“Since he knew we’d never get married, it probably never crossed his mind. ”
She cocked her head and regarded him solemnly. ”And how did he know something like that?”
“I told him I had no intention of starting anything up with you. It was an easy promise to make. You really aren’t my type. ”
She stared at him for several seconds. But then her hand stole across his leg, midthigh, and lingered.

With his arm stretched across the back of the black leather couch, JT Stone sipped one of Rick’s signature cocktails and brooded over a woman.
Tonight Violet Fontaine wore a black, skin-tight mini with long sleeves and a neckline that concealed her delicate collarbones. Despite the snug fit, the dress looked modest when viewed from the front. But the back of the dress. Oh, the back.

As he suspected the design intended, his gaze was drawn to the curve of her tight, round backside.
His fingers twitched as he imagined holding those luscious curves in his hands. Before he’d met Violet six years ago he’d been a diehard breast and thigh man. These days he was on a mission to find a butt better than hers. To date he hadn’t found one. Good thing she had no idea what she did to him or he might lose something more irreplaceable than his favorite bartender.
