He wasn’t going to deny it. ‘So I guess that makes me Mr. Scaredy-Cat, then?’
‘Uh-uh. It makes you mine, Tom Pierce. Nice guy. Sexy guy. Scared guy. Whoever you are, you’re my guy.’
It sounded pretty damn good to him. Better than good.
Her lips curved in a mischievous smile.
‘What?’ he asked, confident he would love that naughty smile until the day he died.
‘You’re right. I’m never going to let you live it down. I’m going to make you pay.’ She sat up, then climbed on top of him, straddling him.
Tom’s heart flipped, his fists clenched, and he hardened beneath her. If this was her version of payback, he was prepared to suffer.
She grabbed his wrists and placed them either side of his head.
‘Just so you know, I do want to settle down. With you. One day. But in the meantime, I’ve got plenty of living to do first. With you,’ she repeated, to make sure he got the point. ‘Does that sound acceptable to you?’
‘As long as it involves more punishment, then I’m good. You’ll need to move back in with me, of course.’
‘Of course,’ Chelsea agreed, then rolled her eyes. ‘Nadia is going to be so relieved!’
They both laughed. But not for long, because soon they were both working hard on living in the moment, and it felt better than Tom could have ever imagined.
Chapter Thirty-Four
NADIA’S story is next!
SPOILSPORT: Pierce Brothers #2
A SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE IS NO LAUGHING MATTER
Nadia Alvarez likes men, but not relationships. Love she can definitely do without. What she really needs is a builder to rescue her fixer-upper house that’s threatening to fall down, and she’s desperate enough to hire a man she vowed never to see again.
Divorced father, Luke Pierce, takes life seriously. He’s never forgotten the dark-haired beauty he fell hard for during an uncharacteristic one-night stand, but Nadia makes it perfectly clear that sweeping their past under the rug is a requirement of the job.
The only problem is Nadia’s wicked sense of humour. Getting Luke to let his guard down and see the fun side of life is becoming a pastime for Nadia. If she’s not careful, he’ll fall harder for her than he did before. And this time he might take her with him . . . no matter what her opinion on love may be.

About the Author
Belinda Williams is a marketing copywriter who fell in love with romance and writes romantic comedy as well as romantic suspense featuring good guys. She’s occasionally tempted by bad boys, but prefers to write strong women characters and men with big hearts.
When she’s not writing, Belinda is a music lover who sings lead vocals in cover bands, and her eclectic taste forms the foundation for many of her writing ideas.
Her other love is the water. She can often be found counting laps instead of words at her local swimming pool. Or you might also spot her boating on the harbour with her husband and son in her home town of Sydney, Australia.
