Waiting For Her — Alisha Rai

Even the best-laid seductions can go awry.

Beneath Dr. Maira Khan's reserved exterior, her heart beats triple-time for only one man: Sasha Karimi. For two years she's waited patiently for the handsome police lieutenant to wake up and see her as more than a buddy. When he's injured in the line of duty, though, she realizes time is too precious to waste. Ditching her scrubs -- and her shyness -- she cooks up her very first seduction.

Sasha's had a hell of a week. Thanks to the national media, amorous women are pouring out of the woodwork, all wanting a piece of America's newest “hero”. The biggest disappointment? Maira seems to have contracted the same case of mass hysteria. Betrayed, he pushes her away -- but not before he samples a taste of her luscious mouth and body.

It works. Maira retreats, mortified and ashamed. And Sasha realizes he's just driven away the perfect woman. Now all he needs is a foolproof plan to win her back, starting with a proper courtship -- and restraining his lust. Except once Maira glimpses the man behind the uniform, she sets out to show him that pure need has its own ideas about what's proper...

Warning: Contains a brilliant heroine who knows how to take matters into her own hands, a sexy hero who knows how to win his woman, an awesome full-body massage, a tender romance and sizzling bedroom (and kitchen) shenanigans.
