Daring Sheila
Chapter One
A
low whistle escaped Ray Walker’s lips.
What a woman.
He watched the curvy brunette sashay
he Jump Zone office with all-consuming
snug, faded jeans and a fitted black T-shirt,
she made his mouth water.
Behind him, Jennifer Evans, his business partner’s
wife, and long term friend, walked into the room
exclaiming, “I don’t believe it! Sheila actually
showed.”
Ray didn’t look at Jennifer. He was far too
enthralled with the woman approaching. Something
about her lit him up. “Who exactly is Sheila?” he
drawled in his lazy Texas accent that San Francisco
had done nothing to erase.
“She just joined my team at the
Tribune
. She’s quite
impressive.” A heartbeat of a pause. “She used to
write for the New York
Times
.”
“Ah,” he said. A writer. Vaguely he wondered why
she would leave a big time gig like the
Times
, but it
was a fleeting thought. He was too busy thinking
about what he would do to Sheila if he got her alone.

No, when.
When
he got her alone.
He had to have her.
No question about it.
Shaking his head, he was a bit baffled by his
extreme reaction, but no less prepared to let it go the
distance. He’d experienced his share of women in his
days. Not lately though. Perhaps his over-the-top
reaction to this woman came from lack of female
companionship. Or not. Something about this
particular woman danced along his nerve endings in
a whole new way.
Hot. She was hot. Damn hot.
And she was making him hard.
He could hardly believe it. How many years had it
been since he got a damn hard-on just watching a
woman? At thirty-three, he was far from an
adolescent with no control.
Maybe he was a bit randy. It had been…hell,
months since he got laid.
Time hadn’t allowed him the option. He, Jason,
and Bobby, Jennifer’s husband, had gotten out of the
army and bought The Jump Zone. He’d been
consumed with getting it off the ground.
Bobby was waylaid in the army longer than he and
Jason, and then got married the instant he returned
home. The burden of start up had fallen on Ray and
Jason. Not that they had minded. Bobby had waited a
long time to win Jennifer’s heart, and both Ray and
Jason approved.
For the first time, in all the years he had known

Bobby, the man seemed truly happy.
Jennifer’s laugh snapped him out of his reverie. “I
dared her to jump,” she said. “Seems she thinks she’s
up to the task. Would you believe she has never even
been on a roller coaster?”
Before Ray could comment, Sheila pulled open the
glass door to the office, and pushed her sunglasses on
top of her head.
Her eyes locked with his.
Hers were forest green, a deep, sultry color. A shot
of heat raced through his body. The intensity was like
a rocket launch straight to his groin.
Awareness darted between them, instant and hot.
Damn, he wanted this woman. And if the steamy look
in her eyes was any indication, she liked what she
saw in him.
“I can’t believe you showed,” Jennifer exclaimed
shooting around the counter in a wisp of blond hair to
wrap her arms around Sheila.
Sheila laughed. It was a sultry sound that did
nothing to take the edge off of Ray’s growing desire
or the bulge beneath his zipper.
“I told you I’m no chicken,” Sheila said clearly
reprimanding Jennifer for thinking anything of the
sort.
Jennifer leaned back as a frown furrowed her
lovely features. “I had asked Bobby to be your
jumpmaster, but he had some pro golfer show up.
The guy paid extra to get him and only him to take
him up.”
Sheila smiled, and it was like a burst of sunshine.
