    About this ebook

    Taking Advantage, 2

    After his divorce, Greg Snow dedicated his life to his work as a corporate attorney in a large law firm and to his membership on the board of directors at Advantage Insurance Company. He liked it that way...at least that’s what he thought until Tessa Mills entered his life.

    Growing up with an alcoholic mother and never knowing her father, Tessa Mills has not had an easy life. And her relationship decisions have been less than stellar. But she’s finally making a life for herself and running her own business—a yoga studio. It’s her saving grace and that’s all she needs...until Greg Snow turns her world upside down.

    Tessa and Greg have a strong attraction, but is it enough to overcome all their differences?

      Chapter One

      Flipping fudge, Gregory Snow heard a soft female voice say from behind him. He could tell the delicate voice was upset, but he couldn’t help but chuckle. After years practicing law, it was strange to hear someone swear so kindly. In fact, he was pretty sure the last time he heard someone say fudge to replace the f-word, he had been watching television on Thanksgiving and A Christmas Story was on. He spun around to find the friendly curser and didn’t see anyone.

      Freaking flip, he heard her again. Then he saw the lithe body of a woman rise from behind an older purple VW bug he had just passed in the parking lot and he lost his ability to breathe. Holy Christ! Her curly golden hair was pulled back in a tight ponytail, wispy curls framing her face. She wore a thin purple and hot pink braided headband in an effort to tame her blonde mane. Her hot pink tank top clung tightly to her torso, showing off her small but perky breasts. Greg’s cock hardened as his gaze scanned over what he could see of her. She was stunning. She looked like she was coming from a workout, which puzzled him since she was in the parking lot of Advantage Insurance Company.

      Can I help you? he asked. The woman startled at the sound of his voice. When she lifted her eyes to meet his, Greg inhaled sharply. She had the deepest blue eyes he’d ever seen. They were gorgeous. She was gorgeous. She couldn’t be more than twenty-five… maybe twenty-six. There was not a single line on her face. Everything on her that was visible to him was tight. He imagined her pussy would also be tight. What? Where the hell did that come from? She screamed youth… much too young for him, at forty-two, to be thinking such thoughts. But he couldn’t stop the arousal that immediately coursed through him at the sight of her. Something about her turned him inside out.

      I’m…I’m sorry, she said, standing a little taller. She might be five feet four inches… maybe. She threw what looked like a rolled-up yoga mat over her shoulder, walked around the back of the VW and lifted the hatch to throw her mat inside. My car seems to have died and I don’t have the slightest idea what’s wrong with it. And I have a class to teach in exactly thirty-five minutes and it takes me about thirty minutes to get to the studio without traffic. Triple A will take at least forty-five minutes to get here. By that time, I’ve missed my class at the studio. It’s too late to call for a substitute to teach the class. The studio is so new. I can’t afford to lose any customers at this point. She took a deep breath and Greg watched as her chest rose and fell with her breath. His gaze lowered to her tight black yoga capri pants. Damn! She had a rocking body. Lean, muscular legs. Perky ass. What was going on with him? Had it really been that long since he’d been laid that he was lusting after this young stranger? She was going to think he was an old creep. Shizzle! His gaze flew from her ass to her face again at her exclamation.

      Did you just say ‘shizzle’? he asked. It was impossible to hide the humor in his voice. This beautiful creature was unreal. She looked like a Victoria’s Secret angel with her long blonde hair and tight body, yet she swore like a kindergartner.

      She slammed the hatch down and kicked her rear bumper. When she looked up at him, he could see the tears welling up in her eyes, so he quickly wiped his hand over his face to keep the smile from spreading further across his lips.

      I’m sorry, he said softly. He hated to see women cry, especially ones that made him hornier than a teenager. "Can I drive you to the studio? You can deal with your car later. I
