Protecting Paige

Many women would jump at the chance to spend a few days at a tropical resort with handsome movie producer Cole Barrington, but public relations specialist Paige Brooks has already been burned by him once, and she has no intention of falling for his charms a second time. Unfortunately, Paige unexpectedly ends up tasked with ensuring that Cole's trip to an annual celebrity charity event goes smoothly, and though she's determined to put the past behind her, she finds herself just as captivated by the sexy, dominant man as she was the first time she shared his bed. When he promises to take her over his knee to deal with her attitude, the warning leaves her heart racing, her cheeks blushing, and her panties soaked. Sitting next to Cole aboard a small seaplane on the way to their destination in the Caribbean, Paige cannot help clinging nervously to his arm as a gigantic cloud looms ahead. Her worst fears are realized when they are forced into an emergency landing offshore from a tiny, uninhabited island. Stranded without a working radio, Cole and Paige must stick together, and the intense passion they once shared quickly resurfaces. Soon enough, Paige is promising to be a good girl as Cole spanks her bare bottom soundly, then writhing in ecstasy as he masters her more thoroughly than he ever did before. She is thrilled to be back in his arms, but when they learn that the island may be the location of a long-buried treasure, they are forced to contend with both the dangers of a tropical forest and a group of criminals set on claiming the loot for themselves. Does Cole have what it takes to protect Paige not only from hired thugs, but from her own impetuous behavior as well? If you enjoy a suspenseful romance filled with panty-melting sex, look no further than this passion-filled page-turner from Maggie Carpenter.
