BLURB from Goodreads
One night. That’s all it was supposed to be.
Blake Thomas’ entire career as a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation has led up to this one job: submerging himself in a lifestyle of fast cars and even faster women. He’s deep undercover, building a case to bring down an intricate criminal ring of car thieves in Las Vegas, with no time to think about the one woman he can’t seem to forget. He never imagined his past would become tangled with his present, threatening to be his downfall.
Two years ago, Carly Mathewson planned for a one-night stand with a perfect stranger. What she didn't count on was being reminded of him every time she looked into the emerald eyes of the daughter they unexpectedly created. Since that night, she's devoted herself to keeping her life simple. But when her past refuses to stay buried, she's determined to do everything she can to keep it from jeopardizing what she's worked so hard to achieve. Suddenly, everything and everyone Carly has known aren't quite what they seemed.
Every present has a past. Before they can secure a future together, Blake and Carly are forced to admit that their lives are linked by so much more than just that one night. Without warning, they’re bound together for life.

EXCERPT
I let Carly lead us into the building and towards the
elevator. Once inside, I push her against the wall because the thought of not feeling her body pressed between the
wall and my overheated body isn’t an option. I have a good eight or nine inches
on her in height, so I lift her gently into my arms, lining up our mouths
perfectly. Carly wraps her legs around my waist, her tight black skirt pushed
up around her hips until I can feel the heat of her core through our clothes.
My entire body feels like the Hulk right now as I fight the urge to rip my
clothes clear from my skin with one tear.
The elevator makes the world’s slowest accent upward
before eventually depositing us onto her floor. She
points without breaking our kiss, and I walk with purpose in that direction
unable to set her down. Carly fumbles with the small bag tied around her wrist,
dropping keys on the floor at my feet. Her sigh against my lips makes me smile
uncontrollably.
“I’ll get ‘em,” I whisper as I bend down, Carly still
clamped firmly around my body. I slide the key inside of the knob and give it a
turn.
Inside, my entire focus is on the woman wrapped around
me. I barely remember locking the door as we shed clothes and shoes on our way
down the hallway. When we finally make it to her bedroom, I let her delicious
body slide down my own. Not because I want to, but because it’s the only way to
rid us of the rest of the clothes we’re wearing.
Before I make a grab for her skirt, I gaze deeply into
those intoxicating brown eyes and ask, “Are you sure?” I already know that I
am, but I have to make sure she’s one hundred percent on board with what I have
planned.
“More sure than anything,” she whispers, eyes all full of
lustful innocence.
I step forward and run my hands from her waist up her
naked torso. Carly is wearing a black satin bra with white lace trim. It’s a
beautiful contradiction of purity and naughty all rolled into this perfect
little woman. And as she starts to unzip the zipper on the side of that skirt,
I realize with a happy heart that she’s all mine.
For tonight.
Because that’s all I can give her is this one perfect
night.
