Synopsis:
Working as a camera operator for a hard-nosed producer isn't all fun and games. Kina is seriously thinking about making this reality show her last. She's known as being 'cold-as-ice' when it comes to men, which is appropriate since they're filming in Alaska. Before she can figure out what she wants to do with her life she had to make it through this show. The contestants aren’t exactly lumberjack material and the challenges range from ridiculous to downright dangerous.
The Alaskan reality show is Jonathan’s last gig before he goes to work in security with his brother. The shoot would be completely miserable except for the fact that the one woman in the world who is meant to be his is also a camera operator on the show. He has no idea how he’ll manage it, but he is determined to win her heart and convince her to move to Arizona to be with him.
Following in the footsteps of the contestants isn’t a walk in the park for the camera operators. Fighting boredom and drama within the crew, hiking across glaciers, and camping in the Alaskan wilderness isn’t as safe as it seems on television. An injury on the set will either bring Jonathan and Kina together, or tear them apart for good.
Excerpt:
He sat up, grabbed her by the shoulders and spun her around in the small space. Kina found herself on her back with Jonathan leaning over her. He slammed his lips down on hers once again and they battled for control. Kina wasn’t going to passively lie there and let Jonathan do whatever he wanted. She let her hands wander while their tongues dueled and their teeth nipped and pulled at each other. She worked her way under the back of his sweatshirt and under his T-shirt and let her nails lightly scrape their way up his back as far as she could get them to go. She whimpered when he drew back from her mouth to stare down at her.
He didn’t say a word, but he flattened his hand and drew it down over her chest, over her breastbone, over her bellybutton to the button on her jeans. He didn’t unbutton it, but worked her own T-shirt out of her pants and moved his hand underneath. God almighty. His hand was chilly from the morning air and she could feel the callouses covering the palm of his hand. He worked his way upward, never losing eye contact with her, until he reached her belly button. One finger swirled around it and lightly pressed in.
She couldn’t help it, the question just popped into her head and she couldn’t hold it back. “Would you rather have an innie or an outie?” She watched as Jonathan didn’t say anything, but smiled and dropped his lips back to hers.
As they kissed and continue to learn the contours of each other’s mouth, his hand moved upward again. He went as far up as the bottom of her bra then stopped, running his fingers over the bottom underwire sensuously. Over and over, his fingers caressed the skin just under her bra. Goosebumps rose all over her skin and she could feel his grin as he felt them too. Her nipples were hard and she swore she could feel them ache.
Jonathan’s long hair was hanging around them and Kina imaged how it would feel to have his hair brushing over her bare chest, as he suckled at her breasts. Her breath came out in short choppy pants.
Kina dug her nails into Jonathan’s lower back a bit harder, not hard enough to break his skin, but enough to let him know she was loving what he was doing to her body and what she wanted him to do to her body.
Just as Jonathan’s hands started to skim over the cups of her bra they heard, “Good morning!” ring out from across the clearing. Damn. Jonathan raised his head from hers and they both stilled. Kina couldn’t help but giggle. Jonathan shook his head and smiled down at Kina. “I did say last night, this wasn’t what I wanted to happen, but I can’t be sorry. You feel so good, hon. I can’t wait to get you alone.”
Kina slowly removed her hands from Jonathan’s skin soothing his skin where she’d dug her nails in and brought one hand up to his scruffy face. “I can’t wait either.”
Jonathan reluctantly slid his hands back down her belly and smoothed her T-shirt back down. He cupped her cheeks in his and leaned down to give her a sweet kiss on the lips. “As much as I want to feel your heat surrounding me, we’ll take our time. You deserve to be wooed.”
“Wooed? Who says that?”
“I do,” answered Jonathan with a smile. “Now, how about we get this show on the road? Eddie would have our heads if we didn’t get the guys’ morning routine on film.”
Kina nodded. As much as she wanted to stay in this little tent with Jonathan all day, they had a job to do.
