NOT IN MY WILDEST DREAMS
McKenna Series #2
Jamie Hollins
Releasing Feb 7th, 2017
It really sucks to be in love with someone who sees you as nothing more than a friend. Darcy Owens knows this from personal experience. From the moment she met Sean McKenna as a wary ten-year-old, he’s owned her heart. So when he asks for her help with an important construction project, she can’t say no.
Building a boutique hotel on Boston’s waterfront is a career-making opportunity, and Sean needs Darcy’s interior design expertise. She’s incredibly talented, and there is no one he trusts more. He knows he can always count on his childhood friend, but doesn’t know why he’s thinking about her tight skirts and blue eyes instead of tight deadlines and blueprints.
When Sean and Darcy’s excitement about their work turns into an entirely different kind of excitement, it’s a sexy surprise. But they soon realize that building a new relationship is more challenging than building a new hotel, especially when life-long habits and old insecurities create cracks in the foundation.

MCKENNA SERIES
She was such a goddamn little liar.
Like hell she hadn’t meant a word of what she’d said
last night.
Sean
had failed all his language courses in school, but the little whimper she’d just
given him meant the same thing in pretty much every fucking language in the
world: she wanted him.
And
fuck him, he more than wanted her.
He’d had no
intention of kissing her. In fact, he’d just planned to clear the air between
them so it wouldn’t be awkward. She was one of his best friends. He didn’t want
to have to tiptoe around her like they were complete strangers.
Since
she’d lashed out at him last night, he had a ton of questions. He also had a
ton of feelings that were so tangled he couldn’t unravel them. He didn’t know
how he felt about the fact that Darcy had loved him for years. To his surprise,
it hadn’t freaked him out so much as it had shocked him.
But
when he’d gotten to her place, and she’d started trying to weasel her way out
of what she’d said? He wasn’t having any of that.
Hearing
her admit she loved him again mattered more to him than it should have. Hell, he didn’t understand why it was so goddamn important
to have proof that she meant it. And before he knew it, he’d had her pinned up
against the closet and was sucking on her tongue.
It
was like she was one of those chocolates with the creamy, gooey centers. Once
you bit into it and realized it wasn’t that God-awful raspberry filling
but rather a decadent caramel or sweet almond, you wanted another and another
until you were in a sugar coma. If her mouth tasted this sweet, the rest of her
had to taste amazing.
He
released her tongue, sliding his past her teeth and licking the insides of her
mouth. Their mouths danced together in a sinuous rhythm. She was soft and hot
and tasted like honey.
He
pulled her closer so her breasts pressed firmly against his chest. His cock
screamed in agony against the confines of his jeans. He was as hard as a
fucking lead pipe.
Darcy’s
fingers found their way underneath the hem of his shirt and scorched his skin.
She ran her nails down his lower abdomen to the waistband of his jeans.
That’s
it, Darce. Keep moving those clever hands a little lower.
When
she didn’t,
he rolled his pelvis against her, the painful friction turning to pleasure in a
hot second. As his erection rubbed against her thigh, she inhaled sharply. A
full-body tremble shook her, and her hands flew to his hair, pulling his lips
more firmly against hers. God, he
wanted to be inside of her. How could she feel so good?
They
started pulling and shoving their way toward the bedroom, trying desperately to
maintain the delicious contact of their mouths. They were a flurry of hands,
arms, and legs rubbing and touching.
What
he wouldn’t give right now for two more sets of arms. He felt like a starved
man sitting down to a ten-course meal, not knowing where to begin but knowing
he wanted to finish everything.
Good
God, his hands were on her ass! Round and firm, it was pliable as he squeezed
and kneaded.
Darcy
worked fast, pulling his shirt over his head. He hated to leave the sweetness
of her lips, but it was either that or get strangled by his own shirt. There
wasn’t
much blood left in his brain. He needed all the oxygen he could get.
He
looked down at her, surprised by the fire inside her. It made him hotter than a
teenager who’d just found his older brother’s porn collection. Her smoldering
eyes roamed over his bare chest, and without a thought, he started to undo her
top. His fingers were uncoordinated and clumsy. He couldn’t get her buttons
opened fast enough.
Leaning
in, he licked the soft indention behind her ear. Darcy sighed, causing his
already hard cock to harden even more. He was going to poke a goddamn hole in
his pants if he didn’t get them off soon.
He
nibbled and sucked down her neck and before too long was greeted with gorgeous
luminescent skin the color of new snow. Somewhere along the way, he’d discarded
her shirt. It lay on the floor in a heap next to his.
The
only illumination in the room came from the streetlights outside the window,
and it made her body glow in contrast to the dark, lacy bra she wore. As he ran
his tongue along the top of her creamy, soft shoulder, the smell of mint filled
his nose. Her hands slowly skimmed his pecs, her palms warm and damp as they
slid over his nipples.
Darcy’s touch
felt like magic. Dark, sensual magic that short-circuited his brain.
His
dick commanded the show, shouting orders to his hands and mouth as his brain
took its time with every new discovery. Darcy was unchartered territory to him,
and he wanted to plant his flag everywhere.
Jesus
Christ, did I just unclasp her bra? Fuck yeah, I did.
There
was endowed and then there was well endowed.
Darcy
was… perfect.
He
cupped her breasts in both hands. Firm, round breasts topped with gorgeous
cherry nipples. More than what could fit in his palms. Good God, to think these
precious tits had been hiding in plain sight for so many years.
He
looked up into her hooded gaze when he squeezed her nipples between his index
fingers and thumbs. She bit her bottom lip and let her head fall back.
Oh,
how he wanted to make her moan.
