Reviews:

" The Departed  is a shockingly seductive psychological thriller..." Smexy Books From the Inside Flap If Dez would just work to keep him at arm's length, the way everybody else did, maybe it would be easier not to be so obsessed with her. So desperate for a touch, a taste . . . a night.   A lifetime, even.   Stop it .   She glanced over her shoulder at him and said,

"Julie won't be here until after her shift at the clinic is over. So if you're really determined that I'm not to be alone, either you call me another babysitter or you make yourself at home."   Then she sauntered off into the depths of the house.   Taylor found himself watching the way her ass swayed back and forth and wishing, really wishing, he had the strength to call her another

"babysitter," as she called it. But he also knew there was no way in hell he was going to miss out on spending a little bit of time with her. Away from work. Out of that damned hospital.   Here. In her home. Where he could assure himself she was safe, alive.   Whole.         Staring into the refrigerator, Dez found herself contemplating the bottle of wine. It was too damn early, she knew.

He'd loosened his tie.   Hell--it was almost like he was . . . naked. At least for Taylor Jones. Those suits of his were like armor, she'd always thought.  

"Are you okay?"   Jerking her eyes away from his chest, she stared at him and stammered out . . . something. She didn't know what.  

"Maybe you should sit down. You look flushed."   No, I look hot. As in turned on , she thought irritably. All because my fricking boss undid the top two buttons on his pristine white dress shirt and loosened that damn tie.   And the jacket. Mustn't forget the jacket he'd taken off .   Swallowing, she turned around and grabbed a can of Diet Coke from the fridge. Over her shoulder, she said,

"I'm just thirsty. Tired. Nobody ever gets any rest in a hospital, you ever noticed that?"  

"I've never had to stay in one," he said.

"But plenty of my people have."   There was a weight in his voice.   Slowly, she turned and studied him.   That heavy, strange weight she'd heard in his voice was echoed in his eyes, she realiz...
