Sex on the Beach #1
Swept Away
Work hard, play hard. That's Candy Calder's motto. Even so, she never thought impressing her boss—hottie Matt Rockwell—would mean playing harder than ever! Instead of wowing him by working at the beach, they're hitting a sexy festival exploring the subtleties of networking.
Worse, Matt's steamy looks are so tempting she can't keep her hands off him! Sex with the boss is not the way to get promoted, so she makes him swear their fun in the sun will end with the holiday. But come Monday, will she be able to put this wild fling behind them?

About the author
Dawn Atkins
111 books79 followersI always wanted to be a writer--from the moment I put fat pencil to brown-lined paper in second grade to write an elaborate story using all the spelling words on our list.
Though I always wanted to be a professional writer, I wasn't sure I had the stuff, so I graduated from college with a teaching degree and taught elementary school--second and third grades (the best)--and then began freelance feature writing for newspapers and magazines, local and national.
I left teaching to work in public relations--skills I use today in my job as a writer/editor for the Arizona Education Association.
I met my husband, David Weiss, my very own hero, in 1980, on an airplane. We made the "love thang" permanent in 1985, when we married taking our Hobie sailboat to San Diego for our honeymoon. Then in 1990, we welcomed a son into our lives. He continues to be the light of our life together.
My first romance credits were two stories in True Love magazine. I went on to write a sexy romance in 1983, which was rejected--sniff.
Years later--1996--I got serious about getting published. Though I endured some rejections as I honed my craft, in 1998, I sold the first of two short romantic comedies to Kensington Publishing--Getting Zack Back, published in December. In July 2000, Baby Makes Three was released. After coming in second among published authors in a Harlequin Duets contest, I sold to Harlequin in 2001, quickly selling another comedy. In addition to Duets, I write for Temptation, Blaze and, the new comedy line Flipside.
Most of my hobbies--sailing, scuba-diving, playing the piano (badly)--have gone by the wayside as I devote all my non-family spare time to writing. I live in the Phoenix area with my husband and son, who proudly brings my books to his teachers and swears he doesn't read them--except for the funny parts.

This sexy read sparkles with humor!
Since the incident in the office nine months ago, Matt and Candy seemed to find them selves awkward and uncomfortable with one another. Tension was always palpable in the air whenever they ran unto each other. If it was sexual tension or just plain anxiety over what happened, only the two of them could tell.
But came their Malibu vacation, Candy seized the opportunity to change Matt’s impression of her. She wanted to amaze Matt with her work ethic that she could also work hard while spending her holiday. After all, he’s her new boss and must be impressed with her. Matt suddenly overwhelmed with Candy’s sexiness and playful attitude, finds himself wanting her. Little did they know that their vacation would be very unforgettable indeed and impressions of one another would definitely last.
The characters were absolutely hot for each other although they seemed to be the opposite of one another. Candy Calder was infamous for her playful and fun loving work ethic. Matt Rockwell, on the other hand, was a nonsocial, ultra-serious, and never-mince-words type of person.
