‘It’s the champagne.’ ‘Well, if you keep drinking it like that…’ ‘I might get myself into trouble.’ She pulled a serious face, her cheeks flushed with the alcohol. She’d looked like this the night he’d danced with her at Weeping Reef. Chantal had always been the serious type—studious and sensible until she’d had a drink or two. Then the hardness seemed to melt away, she loosened up, and the playful side came out. If she’d been tempting before, she was damn near impossible to resist now. ‘You always seem to treat trouble like it’s a bad idea.’ Brodie divested her of her champagne flute before tugging her to him. ‘Isn’t that the definition of trouble?’ Her hands hovered at his chest, barely touching him. He shouldn’t be pulling her strings the way he did when he wanted a girl. He liked to wind them up first. Tease them… get them to laugh. Relax their boundaries. He was treating Chantal as if he wanted to sleep with her… and he did. He was in for a world of pain, but he couldn’t stop himself. ‘Bad ideas are the most fun.’ SYDNEY’S MOST ELIGIBLE… The men everyone is talking about!

HOT. LOUD. CRUSHING. The dance floor at the Weeping Reef resort bar was the perfect way to shake off the work day, and for Chantal Turner it was the perfect place to practise her moves. She swung her hips to the pulsating beat of the music, her hands raking through her hair and pushing damp strands from her forehead. A drop of perspiration ran in a rivulet down her back but she wouldn’t stop. At midnight, the night was still in its infancy, and she would dance until her feet gave out. She was enjoying a brief interlude away from her life plan in order to soak up the rays while earning a little money in the glorious Whitsundays.
