CHERISH HARD
A Hard Play Novel by Nalini
Singh
New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh kicks off
her new Hard Play contemporary romance series with a sizzling story that’ll
leave you smiling…
Sailor Bishop has only one goal for his future – to create
a successful landscaping business. No distractions allowed. Then he comes
face-to-face and lips-to-lips with a woman who blushes like an innocent… and
kisses like pure sin.
Ísa Rain craves a man who will cherish her, aches to
create a loving family of her own. Trading steamy kisses with a hot gardener in
a parking lot? Not the way to true love. Then a deal with the devil (aka her
CEO-mother) makes Ísa a corporate VP for the summer. Her main task? Working
closely with a certain hot gardener.
And Sailor Bishop has wickedness on his mind.
As Ísa starts to fall for a man who makes her want to
throttle and pounce on him at the same time, she knows she has to choose – play
it safe and steady, or risk all her dreams and hope Sailor doesn’t destroy her
heart.

EXCERPT
Fuming,
Ísa made sure to set the alarm system and lock up. Everyone else was already
well into their summer vacation—the sole reason Ísa was here was because she
hadn’t been able to work on her lesson plans at home.
Her
upstairs neighbor was having repairs done to her bathroom that required banging
and hammering.
Not
all of it involved nails and wood.
Hopefully
the repairs would be finished by now. There was only so much ecstatic orgasmic
screaming that a single woman in online-dating purgatory could stand without
being driven to violence.
She
spotted the tan-colored gardening truck the instant she came down the front
steps of the school’s imposing redbrick main building and turned left to head
toward her car. The hot gardener had parked it right next to her zippy blue
compact. The front of the truck had four doors with tinted windows while the
large bed was piled with shovels and other manly tools as well as a huge sack
of clippings.
His
light brown T-shirt was hanging over the top of the tailgate.
Which
meant he was still walking around topless somewhere around here.
“Get
in your car, Ísa,” she muttered to herself, well aware what would happen if she
came face-to-face with that delicious hunk of manhood. Because while she
might’ve conquered her shyness, she knew her limits.
Confronted
by a bare-chested man who made her ovaries explode, she’d turn bright pink,
lose her ability to form speech, and end of story. “Oh—”
She
would’ve bounced off that sculpted chest if he hadn’t grabbed her by the hips.
“Hey,
sorry,” he said with a startled smile that lit up the dazzling blue of his
eyes. “I didn’t see you.”
“No,
um, my fault.” It looked as if he’d crouched down to check one of his tires or
something else but had risen to his feet right when she swung around to get
into her car. And God, his skin was so hot and smooth and he was so tall and
his shoulders were so broad and her mouth was drying up. The stuttering would
begin at any moment.
The
same stuttering Suzanne had mocked relentlessly when they were fourteen. Until
Ísa had gone silent around everyone except the few friends she trusted. And now
that horrible, ugly-hearted girl was getting married, having a baby, getting a
happily-ever-after. Added to which, Ísa’s mother was jerking her on a string
like she was a marionette, and her last “date” had asked her to call him Woofy
and reward him with doggy biscuits.
The
blue of the gardener’s eyes flickered with a hot flame.
And
she thought… I know him. But before
she could follow that faint thread, all the fury and hurt and frustration and
sheer aggravation in Ísa ignited into an incandescent inferno.
She
went mad.
Grabbing
the hot gardener’s beautiful face in her hands, she said, “I want to kiss you.”
A
wicked grin. “Go on ahead.”
And
Ísa pressed her lips to his.
