Cosmopolitan Red-Hot Reads from Mills & Boon
Crossing the Line (ebook)
Dear Reader,
Let go!
That’s something the heroine of my new Cosmopolitan Red-Hot Reads from Mills & Boon story has a lot of trouble doing. At least she thinks so. The truth is that Colleen is a woman made to let go, give in to passion, set herself free to explore…even if she’s convinced she’s not capable of it!
Jesse, on the other hand, believes Colleen is more than capable of letting go. After getting to know her over several months of her regular Thursday-night visits to the bar where he works, he’s developed a heavy-duty crush on this enigmatic woman who orders the same drink every week but never drinks it. It’s not until a snowy night and a slow dance that the sparks ignite between them.
It’s not easy, of course, but Colleen and Jesse manage to discover a mutual passion for the exchange of power and control. The rocky road to a relationship is set against the backdrop of one of my new favorite places, the Fell’s Point neighborhood in Baltimore!
I hope you enjoy reading about Colleen and Jesse. And if the story gives you a craving for some good old-fashioned greasy diner food, well…what can I say? Breakfast is my favorite meal!
Thanks for reading,

Chapter One
“The usual?” The Thursday night bartender grinned at Colleen. He’d already filled her glass three-quarters with amber liquid and pushed it across the polished wooden bar toward her. He added a separate glass of seltzer water with a twist of lime, just the way she liked it.
Jesse, she thought as she brushed the dampness from her shoulders where the snow had melted. That was his name. “Thanks, Jesse.”
Jesse’s eyes narrowed for a moment. He looked her over and, coming to some sort of conclusion, said, “How about an order of onion rings?”
“I... Yes. Sure.” Colleen bit back her initial protest, imagining how good something greasy and fattening would taste. It was exactly what she needed right now, but wouldn’t have thought of ordering until he suggested it. “That would be great.”
“You got it.” Jesse rapped the top of the bar with his knuckles in a staccato pattern, then turned to take another order.
He’d leave her alone. And alone was what Colleen wanted to be. So a few minutes later when a man in a business suit slid onto the stool beside her, she just stared at him when he delivered his pickup line.
The man stared back, rakish grin fading. “I said—”
“I heard you,” she interrupted. “But I already have a drink.”
The businessman tugged at his tie. “So it’s like that, huh?”
“It’s not like anything,” Colleen said quietly.
“Hey, I’m just trying to be nice.”
Colleen half turned away. “So then be nice.”
When he put his hand on her elbow, his fingers pinching just a little too hard, she shoved it away. The businessman looked surprised. Then pissed. He put both hands up and backed off, but not before muttering something that sounded suspiciously like “Crazy bitch.”
“Is there a problem?” Jesse balanced a platter of onion rings on his palm before
