Judy Hubbard - Take Me in Your Arms

The sweetest surrender

Casual comes easy to Angela Brown. Her three-dates-max rule lets her have fun without getting burned again. But now Cameron Stewart is back in her life. The high-flying corporate lawyer is the one man who answers a deep need within her. No woman could resist his hot, sultry, sensual assault—and Angela doesn’t intend to try. She just won’t let it go beyond the physical.

It’s not enough for Cam to get Angela into his bed. They’re perfect for each other, and he’s sure she knows it, too. And when she’s evasive, Cam’s persuasive, chipping away at her defenses. One tender, soulful seduction at a time, he’ll coax her out of her shell—and into his waiting, loving arms….

“Can I tempt you with something?”

He smiled mischievously. “I was just about to fix some lunch.”

“No, thanks. I’ve got to get back for a staff meeting.”

“Okay.” He slowly walked toward her, eating up her oxygen with each step he took. “Thanks for checking on me.”

“Sure.”

“I’m sorry I worried you.”

“I’m glad you’re okay and that you’re following the doctor’s orders and resting.” She breathed a little easier as she slipped back into her professional mode.

“I told you I would. Didn’t you believe me?”

“Let’s just say that I’m pleasantly surprised you are being a good boy.”

“Normally, I’m not, but I have motivation to be.” He ran a hand lightly down her arm before grasping her fingers. “Very lovely incentive.”

“I need to leave now.”

“If you must.” He reluctantly released her hand. “See you tomorrow night.”

If she had any sense, she’d cancel their date. Her strong reaction to his immense charm was disquieting. But she knew if she tried to back out now, he would unleash more of that charm against her until she gave in again. And frankly, she didn’t think her heart could take it. Therefore, she would go on one date with him as she’d promised, but that was it.

“Bye, Cam.” She turned and walked out into the hallway. He followed her to the front door, where she glanced at him and softly ordered, “Next time, answer your phone.”

“I’ll keep it by my side.” He made an X over his heart with a finger—a spot her lips longed to taste. “I promise.”

Finally, here is the sequel to These Arms of Mine! I always intended to write Cam and Angela’s story immediately following Alesha and Derrick’s book, but I was sidetracked by My First Dance. Cam and Angela wouldn’t let me forget about them, though, and I’m pleased that their story is now available.

Currently, I’m working on Victor James’s book (the lovable matchmaking brother from Our First Embrace), and I’m hoping to have his story completed soon. Follow me on my website, Facebook and/or Twitter for updates.

While I hash out some other ideas in my cluttered head, I hope you enjoy Cam and Angela’s story.

As always, thanks for your support. Happy reading!
