Excerpt: Kat stayed in the bedroom after Colin left, putting away her clothes and toiletries. In truth, however, she spent most of the time trying to calm her jangled nerves. Colin’s brothers were nothing like she’d imagined. Granted they were all very handsome men under their roughness and pitiful grooming, but she’d assumed they’d be more like Colin. Charming, funny, and socialized for human interaction. Sure, she’d known they lacked skills with the opposite sex, but preparing them for a long-term relationship was going to prove more difficult than she’d ever imagined. Talk about changing sows’ ears into silk purses! She’d have a better chance at changing maggots into world-class show dogs. Sighing, she stood up, smoothed her clothes and started for the door. Reminding herself to be polite, firm, and the epitome of a lady, she opened the door, ready to start her challenge. A hand gripped her by the arm and thrust her forward into the hallway. Hoots and cat calls assailed her ears as more hands poked and prodded her body. “Hey, baby, time to share you with the rest of the family.” “Nice rack, huh, guys?” More rude descriptions of her body followed, but Kat barely heard them. Shocked, she struggled to stay upright between the two lines of men. She pushed back, hoping to get away, but the force sent her falling against the other side. A circle formed around her, blocking her escape. “Let go! Stop touching me!” She beat against Jack’s chest, causing no damage or reaction. Instead, he drew her to him, bringing his mouth down on hers. His tongue raked her mouth as she fought against him. Panic ripped through her and she tried to scream, but his mouth muffled the sound. “Hey, little brother, pass her on. Everyone gets a chance to kiss the bride.” They shuffled her, brother after brother, each taking his turn to kiss her. Still fighting, she managed to tear away from Luke’s grip and yell for help. James yanked her to him and took her mouth with his. This time, however, she was ready.
