Teaser and Giveaway: Ruining Mr. Perfect by Marie Harte
This morning I have a special treat! I have an excerpt from Marie Harte’s Ruining Mr Perfect, as well as an awesome giveaway!
IT’S NOT EASY BEING RIGHT
Vanessa Campbell is a CPA by day and a perfectionist by night. She’s fit, successful…and decidedly lonely. She can’t stop thinking about the youngest McCauley brother, Cameron. He’s just like her: smart, attractive, and usually right—except when dealing with her.
…BUT SOMEONE’S GOT TO DO IT
Cameron McCauley likes Vanessa a little too much. She’s a blond goddess with a razor-sharp tongue. She hates to be wrong, just like him. But she can hold a grudge and is stubborn to a fault—also like him.
A past disagreement has them rubbing each other the wrong way. Cam is dying to shake Vanessa up—get her to let loose. But if he succeeds, can his heart handle it?
Caffeine addict, boy referee, and romance aficionado, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Marie Harte is a confessed bibliophile and devotee of action movies.

An Excerpt
How she’d ever called him average with a straight face, she didn’t know. The man was her every fantasy made flesh. A great body, handsome face, and amazing mind. And God, he could kiss. As much as she wished she didn’t continually replay their embrace, she hadn’t forgotten that kiss at Christmas.
“Oh?” Damn, she sounded out of breath.
Cameron stalked her until she realized he’d backed her into a corner of the kitchen, away from the view from the hallway.
“Cameron?”
He planted his hands on either side of her on the counter. What the hell?
“The guys are on break while we order pizza. The crap kind from a chain.” He sighed. “What can you do?” He glanced at her popcorn and grinned. “Oh, that’s my favorite. Just a bit of oil and it pops up a storm.” He looked back at her mouth. “Great taste.” Pause. “I just came over to say what a good job you did being firm with Colin.”
“Ah, okay.”
He moved in closer.
“Cameron?” she squeaked on a whisper, for some odd reason not wanting the others to know he was here with her.
“Your lips are so red. So pretty. Do you wear lipstick?” He leaned in and kissed her before she could answer or even think to refuse.
Vanessa stood still, letting him control the kiss, his lips soft yet firm, his tongue sipping then penetrating slowly. No rush, but a leisurely exploration that turned her knees to jelly.
He moaned low in his throat and deepened the kiss. Not enough to overpower her, but enough that she felt a raging lust to wrap her legs around him and hold on until the storm passed.
Instead she remained frozen, her hands gravitating to his waist, her mouth under his.
He eased back. His blue eyes looked cloudy, his lips slick from their kiss. He smiled, and the curl of that grin shook her foundation, made her want with a passion that shocked her.
“No lipstick.” He wiped a thumb across her lower lip. “See?”
“Yeah.” She unconsciously gripped his hips, and he shifted, putting his hard body flush against hers.
“I need to get back,” he said to her mouth.
“Yeah.”
“They’ll be waiting on me.”
She heard Colin’s laughter and Maddie’s creature-roar from the living room, and once again answered, “Yeah.”
Cameron kissed her again, and when he let go, she felt lightheaded.
