A summer job. <br />That’s all it was supposed to be. <br />It never crossed my mind that I was about to collide with a man who would obliterate every plan I ever made. <br />My mother has always warned me that love is like a lightning bolt and it strikes without warning. But I had no intention of getting struck by either lightning or love anytime soon. I’d be too busy finishing my journalism degree and landing a job in a city far more sophisticated than Phoenix. <br />There was certainly nothing in the cards about getting involved with an ex-ballplayer turned nightclub boss. <br />He was too old for me, too complicated, too distracting. <br />On the surface we had almost nothing in common except the draw of an overpowering physical connection. <br />The seasonal job at a local resort was going to be temporary. <br />He was going to be temporary. <br />But insufferably sexy, arrogant Dalton Tremaine has other ideas.<br />And the harder I fall for him the more I can’t find a good reason to resist giving him everything he wants…<br /><br />*STRIKE is the first book in a brand new sexy spinoff series from NYT and USA Today Bestselling Author Cora Brent. No cliffhanger! May be read as a stand alone.
