Raincheck by Colleen Charles

I can’t tell if I want to play her…or play for keeps. As the top security expert in Las Vegas, I’ve built my stellar reputation by taking no prisoners. I’ve got something special in my back pocket, something that will revolutionize the way casinos do business. And because I have it, rich, powerful men want it and they’ll pay big to get it. Especially, him. A violent criminal mafia psychopath. He waves his money and his power around like the Italian flag. And if anyone gets in his way, they’ll be dealt with. After he starts a fire in my house, I have to work with the only other security expert in Vegas that’s as talented as me.

Ostrich. But when I get the 4-1-1 on the giant bird, I find out he’s not a bird at all. He is a she. And Waverly’s so hot she could melt my circuit board. But if I want to finish my project, I have to push my desire away and keep things strictly professional. Waverly’s just as driven as I am, and she’ll stop at nothing to come out on top. After I finally get her right where I want her, I’m happy for the first time in my life. But then I go and do it, something so unforgiveable I’m not sure she’ll ever get past it. We’re apart when we need to present a united front in order to defeat our common enemy. And now…everything I’ve ever wanted is slipping right through my fingers.
