Josie couldn’t wait to make love with Adam again
She turned around in bed to kiss him…and saw a stranger staring back at her! Josie screamed in horror, scrambling out of the bed and dragging the black satin sheet with her.
The man arched a dark brow as he sat up on one elbow. “Is something wrong?”
This couldn’t be happening to her. This naked man before her was not Adam Delaney. Her boyfriend had blond hair and blue eyes. This stranger had thick brown hair and keen brown eyes that seemed to penetrate the sheet in front of her. She sucked in a deep breath. “There’s been a horrible mistake.”
He blinked at her words and reached for his navy blue boxer shorts. “It’s a little late for regrets now, isn’t it?”
He couldn’t begin to know how much she regretted last night. When she’d stolen in to her boyfriend’s dark bedroom, she certainly hadn’t expected there to be another man in it! “Who are you?”
“Don’t you remember calling out my name last night?” He met her gaze. “I am Adam Delaney.”
Dear Reader,
A dark night. Satin sheets. Sexy lingerie. All the necessary ingredients for an incredible night of passion. Only, Josie Sinclair’s perfect seduction plan doesn’t include finding a stranger in her boyfriend’s bed! A man who won’t let her forget how perfect they are together.
Josie’s a “play-it-safe” librarian who does anything to avoid getting burned. Adam’s a “live-for-adventure” photographer who’s always playing with fire. Neither one of them expects the chemistry between them to flare so quickly out of control….
I hope you like this latest installment of the fabulous WRONG BED miniseries. As an author, I love the concept of bringing two such different people as Adam and Josie together in such a unique way.

JOSIE SINCLAIR HELD HER BREATH as she opened the apartment door, wincing at the slight squeal of the hinges. After slipping inside, she didn’t breathe again until she’d closed the door behind her, locking it once more. Then she pocketed the key, debating the risk of switching on a light. She didn’t want to do anything that might alert Adam to her presence.
Not until she was ready for him.
A full moon shone through the high-rise window, illuminating a shadowy path into the living room. A sudden hiss permeated the deep silence and Josie’s hand flew to her chest. But it was only Horatio, her boyfriend’s temperamental Siamese. She bent down to pet the cat, her heart still racing in her chest. Her reaction had more to do with nerves than fear. She’d never done anything like this before.
Horatio seemed to sense her anxiety, jerking away from her and bounding underneath the sofa. As she rose to her feet, Josie reached into her bag and pulled out the list she’d made on the flight from Tempe. Lists always made her feel in control and she began to calm down as she found a pen in her bag to check off the first item.
1. Go to Adam’s apartment.
He’d given her a key weeks ago, but she hadn’t worked up the nerve to use it until tonight. Doubts had assailed her on the long drive from the Denver airport, but she’d stuck one of her motivational tapes into the car’s cassette player and now she was ready for action. Almost. Her gaze moved to the second item on the list.
2. Undress.
With trembling fingers, she untied the silk scarf around her neck, then dropped it into the small bag she’d brought with her from the airport. The fluttering fabric enticed Horatio, who leaped out from under the sofa and pounced on it immediately, batting at the scarf with his paws.
She tried to take the scarf away from him, but his claws snagged the delicate fabric and she knew it
