This book is a work of fiction and any resemblance to persons, living or dead, or places, events or locales

is purely coincidental. They are productions of the authors’ imagination and used fictitiously.

Warning:

The following material contains graphic sexual content meant for mature readers. Hands On has been

rated S-ensuous by a minimum of three independent reviewers.

Ellora’s Cave Publishing offers three levels of Romantica™ reading entertainment: S (S-ensuous), E (E-

rotic), and X (X-treme).

S- ensuous love scenes are explicit and leave nothing to the imagination.

E- rotic love scenes are explicit, leave nothing to the imagination, and are high in volume per the overall

word count. In addition, some E-rated titles might contain fantasy material that some readers find

objectionable, such as bondage, submission, same sex encounters, forced seductions, and so forth. E-rated

titles are the most graphic titles we carry; it is common, for instance, for an author to use words such as

“fucking”, “cock”, “pussy”, and such within their work of literature.

X- treme titles differ from E-rated titles only in plot premise and storyline execution. Unlike E-rated titles,

stories designated with the letter X tend to contain controversial subject matter not for the faint of heart.

To my editor, Briana St. James, for hanging in there with me through all these

books. Thank you.

To my pals for always being there with me through thick, thin and hysteria. You

know who you are. Thanks for the coffee and your friendship.

Hands On

Chapter One

“You’re from where? And you want to do what?” Lara was certain she blushed all

over. The event was supposed to have been an anonymous fundraiser. The tall, dark

hunk of beefcake standing at her door had to be joking.

“ Total Man Magazine . You’re Lara McKenzie, right?”

She remembered a phone call from the magazine the other day, but she’d been too

caught up writing her book to really pay attention to what they’d said. Now it clicked.

Something about sending out a reporter. But wasn’t that supposed to be next week? “I

thought this was about my book.”

His lips curled in a devilish smile that turned her knees to jelly. “No, it’s about the

fundraiser.”

“The fundraiser isn’t newsworthy.”

“Sure it is. You came in first. That’s big news.”

He couldn’t hide his smirk. This was the most embarrassing moment of her life.

Mr. Too-Sexy-To-Be-Legal flashed his driver’s license and magazine ID. “My

name’s Mark Whitman. Can I come in and ask you a few questions about your, uh,

win?”

Oh dear God, where was the nearest hole she could crawl into? “Why?”

He arched a dark brow, his whiskey-colored eyes making her wish he stood on her

doorstep for any other reason than her winning the fundraiser.

“Have you ever read our magazine?”

“No.”

“Trust me, what you did is a guaranteed sell-out.”

Great. Just what she didn’t want to hear. “What if I refuse an interview?”
