Preview In the Enemy's Arms
Paradise just got dangerous It was supposed to be a routine trip to Cozumel to provide medical care for the orphaned girls of La Casa. But instead of the bustling joy of a full house, Dr. Cate Calloway finds silence, threats—and danger. And the only person she can turn to for help is the last man she wants to see. The spoiled playboy buddy of her ex-husband, Justin Seavers has never been a man Cate could rely on. But now he’s her only hope to rescue their friends who run La Casa. As the two set off on an international adventure, the former enemies are thrown together and quickly find out that looks can be deceiving...and passion can’t be denied for long. She’d wanted. Him. The thought sent blood rushing to her cheeks and formed a knot in her stomach. “What are you thinking to make you blush like that?” His voice, throaty and amused, drew her attention back to the face she’d been staring at. “N-nothing.” Then came the smug, cocky grin that used to make her want to smack him. “Were you imagining me naked?” He raised his hands in a helpless shrug, when he was anything but. “Women usually do. Better yet, were you imagining us naked? Because I have been, and that sofa makes into a damn comfortable bed.” Slowly she shook her head. “I don’t think so.” It was eye-opening just how tempted she was, even though there were a thousand reasons why she shouldn’t be. It was risky. What if the Justin she loved to hate came back? What if this thing was just the side effect of adrenaline and fear? What kind of potential was there between her and Justin? Besides great sex. And the biggest question: Was she willing to risk having her heart broken again? Dear Reader, Writers find inspiration everywhere, so it was no surprise that I came back from my first visit to Cozumel with Justin and Cate’s story forming in my head. It’s no surprise, either, with avid divers filling my world, that Justin is one, too. I didn’t get to even dip a toe into the water on that first trip, but I made up for it on the next, going snorkeling several times with my husband and my best friend. It was a great experience that gave me a taste of Justin’s passion for the ocean. Of course, his passion for diving doesn’t begin to match his passion for Cate. In the beginning that emotion is expressed more along the lines of dislike, a feeling that she wholeheartedly shares, and with good reason. What fun it was turning them around from “not in this lifetime” to “happily ever after!” Marilyn Marilyn Pappano In the Enemy’s Arms Books by Marilyn Pappano Harlequin Romantic Suspense Copper Lake Secrets #1685 In the Enemy’s Arms #1712 Silhouette Romantic Suspense *Michael’s Gift #583 *Regarding Remy #609 *A Man Like Smith #626 Survive the Night #703 Discovered: Daddy #746 *Convincing Jamey #812 *The Taming of Reid Donovan #824 *Knight Errant #836 The Overnight Alibi #848 Murphy’s Law #901 **Cattleman’s Promise #925 **The Horseman’s Bride #957 **Rogue’s Reform #1003 Who Do You Love? #1033 “A Little Bit Dangerous” My Secret Valentine #1053 **The Sheriff’s Surrender #1069 The Princess and the Mercenary #1130 **Lawman’s Redemption #1159 **One True Thing #1280 **The Bluest Eyes in Texas #1391 Somebody’s Hero #1427 More Than a Hero #1453 One Stormy Night #1471 Forbidden Stranger #1495 Intimate Enemy #1529 Scandal in Copper Lake #1547 Passion to Die For #1579 Criminal Deception #1591 Protector’s Temptation #1625 Covert Christmas #1627: “Open Season” *Southern Knights **Heartbreak Canyon Other titles by this author available in ebook. MARILYN PAPPANO has spent most of her life growing into the person she was meant to be, but isn’t there yet. She’s been blessed by family—her husband, their son, his lovely wife and a grandson who is almost certainly the most beautiful and talented baby in the world—and friends, along with a writing career that’s made her one of the luckiest people around. Her passions, besides those already listed, include the pack of wild dogs who make their home in her house, fighting the good fight against the weeds that make up her yard, killing the creepy-crawlies that slither out of those weeds and, of course, anything having to do with books. For my favorite divers: my son Brandon; Meg Reid, dive master and best friend; and, as always, to my husband, Bob. One of these days I’m going to join you guys under the sea! And until that day, major thanks to my non-dive buddy, Don Shidler, for keeping me company onshore!
