About Seducing the Stargazer:
With over one hundred million asteroids in the solar system, it took only one to bring them together again. The stars have been the only constant in astronomer Winchester Carlsbad’s life. A pistol, she will do anything to continue her research on the Martian moons. When she discovers an asteroid on collision course with her former love’s rocket launch, she not only sees her opportunity to secure her telescope time, but to finally best the man who propelled her heart into a black hole when he walked away from her five years ago. Billionaire Dr. Garner Knox is the face of astronomy to the public and a media darling. As spokesperson and investor in Personal Space, a privately owned space corporation, he has only one problem—his company can’t seem to get anything up. When Wynn fires back into his life and throws his mission into a tailspin, he knows he must get the one person who never believed in him to help him get his probe into orbit. Working with Garner, Wynn battles the for profit space agency as well the sexy stargazer who rekindles her desires and makes her fall all over again. Garner fights to lasso his loose cannon from angering his investors and learns that vanishing from Wynn’s life didn’t make her disappear from his heart.Get Your Copy Today:

Excerpt
Unsure of his next move, he tiptoed to the bedroom and stood in the doorway
In the shadows, he spotted Wynn’s form in the covers. For a moment he simply stood there. There was something comforting and jarring about having her here with him, under his roof.
“Garner? What are you doing?” Her voice came out heavy, laced with sleep.
“Watching you.” Yes, he stated the obvious.
She yawned and stretched. The little bit of light from the window illuminated her curves. “Why? You can barely stand the sight of me.”
“You’re light years away from the right answer on that one.” He crossed over the threshold.
“What is the right answer?”
After all this time, she still didn’t get it, didn’t understand there wasn’t a more gorgeous woman, one who matched him the way she did, yet vexed him. Though he tried to ignore her, his thoughts always returned to his sexy stargazer. Since that night in their college observatory, there had been no one else who could even attempt to occupy the same place in his mind. “You are a vision. I can’t stop looking at you.”
“I’m merely a concession in your quest to get Personal Space up in the air.” Her tone lowered, draped with a bit of sadness.
“Again, untrue. First, let it be said that if I personally have to buy time on the Maverick probe to give a scientist a chance, I’ll do it.” He inched closer. For the last two weeks they had gone through the motions of work, but never talked. The fact he raced back to her told him everything he needed to know about wanting the woman in front of him. “Second, a concession is giving up something in order to get something better.”
“Then what am I?” she whispered.
“My obsession.” In two words he laid his cards on the table.
The room silenced then, without a word, she pulled back the covers on the opposite side of the bed.
At her invitation, he kicked off his shoes and pulled his shirt over his head, dropping it to the floor. Though his first thought was to join her, take her into his arms and be with her, he resisted. He still needed to continue his work, and she still needed to see him as something other than a talking head. Then again, he rushed home and came straight to her room. His one action said more than anything.
She sat up and let the blankets pool around her waist. “Apparently, you obsess from afar.”
With nothing on, the shadows outlined the swell of her breasts. His mouth watered and his erection thickened, causing him to run his hand over the bulge in his pants. “I tried to overcome it.”
“Then I ask again, why are you here?” She leaned back on the bed.
“I have to have you.” That was the one truth he could rely on. He unbuckled his belt and pulled the fly of his jeans open.
“What do you plan on doing about it?” She slid the covers off, revealing her gorgeous naked form.
“There’s only thing I can do.” Once ridding himself of his pants, he approached the edge of the bed. Without even touching her, his arousal grew.
She squirmed on the bed and lifted on knee. “What might that be?”
“I have to make love to you.” Finally, he joined her, took her into his arms, and gave her a deep kiss.
