<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Between his parents’ messed up marriage and his narcissistic younger brother,
Lincoln Moorehead has spent the majority of his life avoiding his family. After
the death of his father, Lincoln finds himself in the middle of the drama. To
top it all off, he’s been named CEO of Moorehead Media, much to his brother’s
chagrin. But Lincoln’s bad attitude softens when he meets the no-nonsense,
gorgeous woman who has been given the task of transforming him from the gruff,
wilderness guy to a suave businessman</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wren Sterling has been working double time to keep the indiscretions at
Moorehead Media at bay, so when she’s presented with a new contract, with new
responsibilities and additional incentives, she agrees. Working with the reclusive
oldest son of a ridiculously entitled family is worth the hassle if it means
she’s that much closer to pursuing her own dreams. What Wren doesn’t expect is
to find herself attracted to him, or for it to be mutual. And she certainly
doesn’t expect to fall for Lincoln. But when a shocking new Moorehead scandal
comes to light, she’s forced to choose between her own family and the broody,
cynical CEO.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Kim's 4 Star Review</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wren
has a plan for what she wants her life to be like. Accepting the current PR job
was supposed to be a stopover to where she wants to be. After being handed an
extension to her contact and a very nice compensation package to take on the
other son of the Moorehead’s, she may have finally gotten herself in over her
head. Lincoln Moorehead doesn’t like being in the city let alone being
near his family. With his father’s passing, Lincoln can no longer avoid his
family or new responsibilities. After meeting his handler, Lincoln’s bad
attitude is dialed back a few notches as Wren brings him into the world he
left. Will these two survive each other and move the company forward or
will this just be too much that either one will turn and run the other
way?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I
was lucky to be gifted a copy in exchanged for an honest review.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wren
is a strong, independent woman who knows what she wants and how she plans on
making it happen. She takes each step with careful thought and
planning. Dealing with the Moorehead’s was just a quick stop to getting
her dream job. After the unexpected death of the CEO, the job that was
supposed to be ending soon got extended as she had another son to guide.
She didn’t think it couldn’t get any worse as the first son, Armstrong was the
epitome of a rich privileged spoil brat who doesn’t know the difference between
what is appropriate and what isn’t. Now that she has to deal with
Lincoln, the exact opposite yet equally as challenging. She didn’t expect that
he would be just want she needed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lincoln
has made sure that he doesn’t end up like his parents. So after graduation an
Ivey league university, he did the exact opposite of what was planned for him
and became a project manager helping build in underdeveloped countries.
It the work that brings him satisfaction in areas but leaving him lonely.
The death of his father is what brought him home but his grandmother (G-mom) is
what got him staying longer than planned. Having his father handed the
company to him, he didn’t want along with a babysitter to watch over him is
pushing all his limits.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From
the moment Wren started talking to Lincoln, she knew she had her hands
full. Being sent to take care of him after his father’s funeral, she
finds him so drunk that he doesn’t remember her the next morning. They
may come from the same world of privileged, but she realizes that she is better
at hiding or managing it better than him. Wren’s only problem is that her
body isn’t in line with her mind. The more time she spends with him the
more her body betrays her. Of course the filter that everyone is supposed
to have decides to malfunction at the most inopportune times or she ends up
with some kind of wardrobe malfunction that had me laughing. Of course
these things only happen to Wren when Lincoln is around. There is no
denying that these two are very much attracted to each other, too bad both of
them try to fight it until they can’t.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From
the time I met Helena I knew she was truly an amazing person. Her
characters reflect the creativity that embodies her. I haven’t read a
book of Helena’s that doesn’t capture and bring me into their world. I love
that I could put myself in Wren’s shoes and felt what she felt at the time it
happened. From the moment she saw Lincoln after his makeover, it was like I was
a part of it. The chemistry between these was felt from the moment they’re
together. I loved reading how the love/hate relationship between Wren and
Lincoln transformed into something so much throughout the story. I just
couldn’t get enough of these characters and I was sad that the story had to
end.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I slip onto the empty bar stool beside the
lumberjack mountain man who looks like he tried to squeeze himself into a suit
two sizes too small. He’s intimidatingly broad and thick, with long dark hair
that’s been pulled up into a haphazard man bun thing. His beard is a hipster’s
wet dream. His scowl, however, makes him about as approachable as a rabid
porcupine. And yet, here I am, sidling up next to him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">He glances at me, eyes bleary and not really
tracking. He quickly focuses on his half-empty glass again. Based on the slump
of his shoulders and the uncoordinated way he picks up his glass and tips it
toward his mouth, I’m guessing he’s pretty hammered. I order a sparkling water
with a dash of cranberry juice and a lime.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">What I could really use is a cup of lavender-mint
tea and my bed, but instead, I’m sitting next to a drunk man in his thirties.
My life is extra glamorous, obviously. And no, I’m not an escort, but at the
moment I feel like my morals are on the same kind of slippery slope.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“Rough day?” I ask, nodding to the bottle that’s
missing more than half its contents. It was full when he sat down at the bar an
hour ago. Yes, I’ve been watching him the entire time, waiting for an
opportunity to make my move. While he’s been sitting here, he’s turned down two
women, one in a dress that could’ve doubled as a disco ball and the other in a
top so low-cut, I could almost see her navel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“You could say that,” he slurs. He props his cheek
on his fist, eyes almost slits. I can still make out the vibrant blue hue
despite them almost being closed. They move over me, assessing. I’m wearing a
conservative black dress with a high neckline and a hem that falls below my
knees. Definitely not nearly as provocative as Disco Ball or Navel Lady.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“That solving your problems?” I give him a wry grin
and tip my chin in the direction of his bottle of Johnnie.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">His gaze swings slowly to the bottle. It gives me a
chance to really look at him. Or what I can see of his face under his beard,
anyway.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“Nah, but it helps quiet down all the noise up
here.” He taps his temple and blurts, “My dad died.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I put a hand on his forearm. It feels awkward, and
creepy on my part since its half-genuine, half-contrived comfort. “I’m so
sorry.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "MS Mincho";">
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">He glances at my hand, which I
quickly remove, and refocuses on his drink. “I should be sorry too, but I think
he was mostly an asshole, so the world might be better off without him.” He
attempts to fill his glass again, but his aim is off, and he pours it on the
bar instead. I rush to lift my purse and grab a handful of napkins to mop up
the mess.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“Well, I’m thinking that might’ve been the plan,
considering the way you’re sucking that bottle back. I’m actually surprised you
didn’t ask for a straw in the first place. Might be a good idea to throw a
spacer in there if you want tomorrow morning to suck less.” I push my drink
toward him, hoping he doesn’t send me packing like he did the other women who
approached him earlier.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

“What is that?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

from his mouth. His eyes crinkle, telling me he’s smiling under that beard.
“Does that mean Imma wake up with you beside me?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was joking. Besides, I’m so wasted, I can barely remember my name. Pretty sure
I’d be useless in bed tonight. I should stop talkin’.” He scrubs a hand over
his face and then motions to me. “I wouldn’t proposition you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“Dammit. I mean, I think you might be hot. You look
hot. I mean attractive. I think you’re pretty.” He tips his head to the side

“I think you might want to tell your date you’re done for the night.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">He makes an attempt to stand, but as soon as his
feet hit the floor, he stumbles into me and grabs my shoulders to steady
himself. “Whoa. Sorry. Yup, I’m definitely drunk.” His face is inches from
mine, breath smelling strongly of alcohol. Beyond that, I get a whiff of fresh
soap and a hint of aftershave. He lets go of my shoulders and takes an unsteady
step back. “I don’t usually do this.” He motions sloppily to the bottle. “Mostly
I’m a three drink max guy.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I slide off my stool. Despite being tall for a woman, and wearing heels, he still
manages to be close to a head taller than me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“Yeah, maybe, but I still think I might regret it
tomorrow.” He’s incredibly unsteady, swaying while standing in place. I take
the opportunity for what it is and thread my arm through his, leading him away from
the bar. “Come on, let’s get you to the elevator before you pass out right
here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">He nods, then wobbles a bit, like moving his head
has set him off balance. “That’s probably a good idea.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">He leans into me as we weave through the bar and
stumbles on the two stairs leading to the foyer. There’s no way I’ll be able to
stop him if he goes down, but I drape one of his huge arms over my shoulder
anyway, and slip my own around his waist, guiding him in a mostly straight line
to the elevators.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“Penthouse.” He drops his arm from my shoulder and
flings it out, pointing to the black doors at the end of the hall. “Jesus, I
feel like I’m on a boat.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“It’s probably all the alcohol sloshing around in
your brain.” I take his elbow again, helping him stagger the last twenty feet
to the dedicated penthouse elevator.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">He stares at the keypad for a few seconds, brow
pulling into a furrow. “I can’t remember the code. It’s thumbprint activated
though too.” He stumbles forward and presses his forehead against the wall,
then tries to line up his thumb with the sensor, but his aim is horrendous and
he keeps missing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I settle a hand on his very firm forearm. This man
is built like a tank. Or a superhero. For a moment, I reconsider what I’m about
to do, but he seems pretty harmless and ridiculously hammered, so he <i>shouldn’t
</i>pose a threat. I’m also trained in self-defense, which would fall under the
<i>by any means necessary </i>umbrella. “Can I help?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I take his hand between mine. The first thing I
notice is how clammy it is. But beyond that, his knuckles are rough, littered
with tiny scars and a few scabs, and his nails are jagged.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I fight not to roll my eyes, but for a brief moment,
I wonder if what’s in his pants actually matches the rest of him. And if he’s
unkempt everywhere, not just on his face. I cut that visual quickly because it
makes me want to gag. “And what do they say?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

“Something about big hands, big heart.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The elevator doors slide open. He pushes off the
wall with some effort and practically tumbles inside. He catches himself on the
rail and sags against the wall as I follow him in. I honestly can’t believe I’m
doing this right now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">He doesn’t have to press a button since the elevator
only goes to the penthouse floor. As soon as we start moving, he groans and his
shoulders curl in. “I don’t feel so good.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

forward as he rests his forehead on his knees. “Tomorrow is going to suck.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">It’s the longest elevator ride in the history of the
world. Or at least it feels that way, mostly because I’m terrified he’s going
to yak. Thankfully, we make it to the penthouse floor incident-free. On the
down side, now that he’s in a sitting position, getting him to stand again is a
challenge. I have to press the open door button three times before I can
finally coax him to his feet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">In the time between leaving the bar and making it to
the penthouse floor, the effects of the alcohol seems to have compounded. He’s
beyond sloppy, using the wall and me for support as we make our way to his
door. There are two penthouse apartments up here. One on either side of the
foyer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">He leans against the doorjamb, once again fighting
to find the coordination to get his thumb to the sensor pad. I don’t ask if he
needs my assistance this time since it’s quite clear he does. Once again I take
his clammy hand in mine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I scan the penthouse. It an eclectic combination of
odd art and modern furniture, like two different tastes crashed together and
this is the result. Aside from that, it’s clean to the point of looking almost
like a show home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

lone coffee cup on the table in the living room and the blanket lolling like a
tongue over the edge of the couch. I’m still standing in the doorway while he
sways unsteadily.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">He’s back in his penthouse, which means my job is
technically done. However, I’m worried he’s going to hurt himself, or worse,
asphyxiate on his own vomit in the middle of the night, and I’ll be the one
catching heat if that happens. I’ll also feel bad if something happens to him.
I blow out a breath, annoyed that this is how my night is ending.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

around his waist again, leading him through the living room toward what seems

spotless.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I guide him in the opposite direction down the hall,
until he stumbles through a doorway, into a large but simply furnished bedroom.
Once we reach the edge of the bed, he drops his arm, spins around—it’s
drunkenly graceful—and falls back on the bed, arms spread wide as if he’s
planning on making snow angels. “The room is spinning.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I find a glass on the edge of bathroom vanity—which
is clean, apart from a brand new toothbrush and tube of toothpaste. I run the
tap, wishing I had a plastic tumbler, because I’m not sure he’s in any state to
deal with breakable objects. I check the medicine cabinet, find the pills I
need, shake out two tablets, and return to the bedroom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

him. I cross over and set the water and the pills on the nightstand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I tap his knee again. “Lincoln, you need to wake up
long enough to take these.” I cringe. I called him by name, and he didn’t offer
it to me while we were down at the bar. Here’s hoping he’s too drunk to notice
or remember. His name is Lincoln Moorehead, heir to the Moorehead Media fortune
and all the crap that comes with it. And there’s a lot of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I drop the pills on his tongue and hand him the
glass, which he drains in three long swallows. “Would you like me to refill
that?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“That’d be nice.” He holds out the glass, but when I
try to pull away, he covers my hands with his. His shockingly blue eyes meet
mine, and for a moment they’re clear and compelling. Despite how out of it he
is, and how much he resembles a mountain man, or maybe because of it, I have a
hard time looking away. “I really wish I wasn’t this messed up. You smell nice.
I bet your hair is pretty when it’s not pulled up like that.” He flops a hand
toward my bun. “Not that it’s not pretty like that, but I bet if you took it
down, it would be wavy and soft. The kind of hair you want to bury your face in
and run your fingers through.” He exhales a long breath. “I haven’t had sex in
a really long time, but I feel like I would have zero finesse if I tried right
now.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I smile and turn away. In the time it takes for me
to refill his glass, he’s managed to get one arm out of his suit jacket. He’s
made it most of the way onto the bed, feet still hanging off the end, but he’s
on his back, which is not ideal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I set the glass on his nightstand, along with a
second set of painkillers, which I’m assuming he’ll need in the morning, and
give him another nudge. “Hey.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">This time I get nothing in the way of a response. I
poke him twice more, but still nothing. He can’t sleep on his back with how
drunk he is. He needs to be on his side or his stomach with a wastebasket close
by. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I can’t in good conscience leave him like this. My
options are limited. I shake my head as I kick off my shoes and climb up onto the
bed with him. This is not at all what I expected to be doing when I brought him
back up here. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I stare down at his sleeping form. His lips are
parted, they’re nice lips, full and plump, even though they’re mostly obscured
by his overgrown beard. His hair has started to unravel from its man bun, wisps
hanging in his face. He has long lashes, really long actually, and they’re
thick and dark, the kind women pay a lot of money for. His nose is straight and
his cheekbones— what I can see of them—are high. With a haircut, a beard trim
or complete shave, and a new suit that actually fits, I can imagine how refined
he’ll look. More like a Moorehead than a mountain man lumberjack. I shake my
head. “I need you to roll onto your side, please,” I say loudly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I pull on his shoulder, but he’s dead weight.
Leaning over him, I make a fist and give him a light jab approximately where
his kidney is. “Lincoln, roll over.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">And roll he does, knocking me down and turning over
so he’s right on top of me. We’re face-to-face. Good God, he’s heavy. His bones
must be made of lead. He shifts, one leg coming over both of mine. I push at
his knee, but his arm swings out and he wraps himself around me on a low groan,
pinning my arm to my side. He’s like a giant human blanket. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

of time before I give up and wait for him to roll off me. And while I wait for
that to happen, I replay the conversation with his mother, Gwendolyn Moorehead,
that took place forty-eight hours ago and put me in this awkward position
underneath her drunk son. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">A hot feeling crept up my spine. I’d heard very
little about Lincoln. Everything from Armstrong’s mouth was scathing,
Fredrick’s passing references had been with fondness, and my interactions with
Gwendolyn had been minimal as it was Fredrick himself who hired me, so this was
first I’ve heard of Lincoln through her. “I see. And how can I help with that?”
I could only imagine how difficult Armstrong would be if he had to share the
attention with someone else, particularly his brother. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Difficult to manage </span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">is the understatement of the entire century where
Armstrong is concerned. He’s a cocksucker of epic proportions. He’s also a
misogynistic, narcissistic bastard that I’ve had to deal with for the past
eight months on a nearly daily basis—sometimes even on weekends. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">My job as his “handler” has been to reshape his
horrendous reputation after his involvement in several scandalous events became
very public. It wasn’t a job I necessarily wanted, and I was prepared to
politely reject the offer, but my mother asked me to take the position as a
favor to her since she’s a friend of Gwendolyn. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Beyond that, my relationship with my mother has been
strained for the past decade. When I was a teenager, I discovered information
that changed our relationship forever. Taking the job at Moorehead was in part,
my way of trying to help repair our fractured bond. The financial compensation,
which was ridiculously high, also didn’t hurt. Besides, Gwendolyn is on nearly
every single charitable foundation committee in the city, and since that’s
where my interests lie, it seemed like a smart career move. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“Since you’re already working with Armstrong and
things seem to be settled there for the most part, I felt it would make sense
to keep you on here at Moorehead to work with Lincoln. He’s been away from
civilized society for several years. He’s nothing like his brother, very
altruistic and focused on his job, rather than recreational pursuits, so he
should be easier to manage.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I fought a scoff at the last bit, since
“recreational pursuits” was a reference to the fact that Armstrong couldn’t
seem to keep his pants zipped when it came to women.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Gwendolyn pushed a set of papers toward me. “It
would only be for another six months. And of course, your salary would reflect
the double work load, since you’ll still have to maintain Armstrong in some
capacity while you assist Lincoln in transitioning into his role here.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">“I’m sorry, what—” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Gwendolyn pulled me into an awkward hug, holding
onto my shoulders when she stepped back. Her eyes were glassy and red-rimmed.
“You have no idea how much I appreciate your willingness to take this on. As
soon as your contract is fulfilled, you have my word that I’ll give you a
glowing recommendation to whichever organization you’d like. Your mother told
me you’re interested in starting your own foundation. I’ll certainly help you
in any way I’m able if you’ll stay on a little longer for me.” She dabbed at
her corner of her eyes and sniffed, then tapped the papers on the desk. “I already
have an agreement ready and an NDA, of course. Everything is tabbed for
signing.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I’m pulled back into the present when Lincoln shifts
and one of his huge hands slides up my side and lands on my breast. At the same
time, he pushes his nose against my neck, beard tickling my collarbone. He
mutters something unintelligible against my skin. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I’m momentarily frozen in shock. Under any other
circumstances, I would knee him in the balls. However, he’s not conscious or
even semi-aware that he’s fondling me. Thankfully, now that he’s moved, I have
some wiggle room. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I elbow him in the ribs, which probably hurts me
more than it does him. At least it gets him to move away enough that I can slip
out from under him. I roll off the bed and pop back up, smoothing out my
now-wrinkled dress. My stupid nipples are perky, thanks to the attention the
right one just got. Probably because it’s the most action I’ve seen since I
started working for the Mooreheads eight months ago. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I hit the lights on the way out of the bedroom,
pause in the kitchen to grab a glass of water and check out the sheet of paper
on the counter. It’s a list of important details regarding the penthouse,
including the entry code. I nab my purse, snap a pic, and head for the
elevators. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I have a feeling this is going to be a long six
months.<span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="background: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">My business is security. I protect other people—sometimes at my own expense.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="background: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">It’s the only way to explain how I got talked into playing fake fiancé for my best friend’s little sister.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Instead of the little girl I used to tease, I’m up close and personal with a stunning woman whose curves and heat and heart-stopping smile rocket straight to my heart, not to mention parts south.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I pull open the
screen door, knock a couple of times, and wonder if I’ll even recognize her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A moment later, the
door flies open, and I’m staring at Samantha Watson’s wide, happy grin. Her
dark brown hair is pulled back beneath a blue bandana, and there’s a white
streak of paint on her cheek that makes me think of street urchins. She’s at
least three inches taller than the last time I saw her, the top of her head now
reaching my chin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In my mind, she’s
still built like a pre-teen fence post, but to be fair, I can’t get any real
sense of her figure since she’s wearing a paint-splattered men’s button-down
that doubles as a smock and baggy, faded jeans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I can see her face
just fine, though. The same, but different. Her wide brown eyes seem bigger and
darker, with the kind of lashes that Cayden’s wife Gracie wears when she’s
modeling, but on Sam are the real deal. The childish round face that’s burned
into my memories has given way to a perfect oval accented by cheekbones that
stand out when she smiles. Something she’s doing right now, actually, and I
can’t help but notice that her plump lips and wide mouth were made for smiling.
And for other things. Things that I have no business noticing about my best
friend’s sister. Not even in passing. Not even casually.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I’m still lecturing
myself when she steps forward, obviously intending to give me a hug. And, damn
me, I actually take a step back, her lush lips still filling my vision and
Brody’s all-too-strict warning still ringing in my ears.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">To my relief, she
laughs. “I know. Awkward, right? I mean, you were like my brother, but it’s
been ages. Probably best to start out with a friendly handshake and work our
way up to social hugging.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She thrusts out her
hand, and I take it, noticing how well it fits into mine, and surprised at how
smooth her skin is despite the fact that she apparently spends a lot of time
working with her hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“From what Brody
tells me,” I say, “we won’t be stopping at the social hug.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When
Leo’s best friend Brody enlisted Leo to help his little sister, Samantha (Sam)
out by playing her fake fiancé, Leo got a lot more than he bargained for.
She’s not the gawky teenager he remembers. She’s a stunning woman with
curves and a heart-stopping smile that he’s finding hard to forget. Will
Leo be able to play this role without breaking the rules or will Samantha’s
proposition be too hard for him to resist?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I
was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Leo
has been living his life without attachment. Now that his friends have
started to settle down, he’s finally seeing what he is
missing. One-night stands have lost the appeal they once
had. Leo wants something more in his life but he isn’t quite sure what he
wants. Life in the military and seeing what Brody went through has left him a
little weary. His alpha male side is usually takes charge, so when
Samantha comes clean about why she really wanted him to be her fake fiancé, he
has a hard time finding a reason to turn her down. Leo knows is breaking the
most important rule set by his best friend, but he can’t bring himself to say
no. She has awaken things in him he never felt before. She could
very well be the one and he’s not sure what to do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Leo
and Sam may have known each other for a long time but it’s been years since
they saw each other. When Leo agrees to help out he only remember what she
was like then, not thinking of what she has become now. When Leo sees her
for the first time, he realises that this role he’s playing just got a whole
lot harder. How was he going to keep things platonic when his mind keeps
going to where is shouldn’t be? When Leo is with her, the energy round
them crackles. They have an undeniable chemistry, making it easy for others to
believe that they are truly together. Leo knows what’s going on between
them but with Sam not revealing how she’s feeling, he isn’t confident that she
is feeling the same way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One
thing I learned while reading Julie’s books, is that she never disappoints her
readers. She bring her characters to life in ways no one else has.
Julie is truly a gifted writer. As a reader, there isn’t a time when I haven’t
felt connected to the character. I found myself drawn into the story and
felt like I was a part of it. I loved that the entire book was from Leo’s
point of view. Seeing how the male mind works gives a fresh view on a
love story. I haven’t read the other books in this series but after reading
this book it’s made me want going back and read the whole series from beginning
to end.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">J. Kenner (aka Julie Kenner) is the <i>New York Times</i>, <i>USA Today</i>, <i>Publishers Weekly, Wall Street Journal</i> and #1 International bestselling author of over seventy novels, novellas and short stories in a variety of genres.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Though known primarily for her award-winning and international bestselling erotic romances (including the Stark and Most Wanted series) that have reached as high as #2 on the <i>New York Times </i>bestseller list, JK has been writing full time for over a decade in a variety of genres including paranormal and contemporary romance, “chicklit” suspense, urban fantasy, and paranormal mommy lit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">JK has been praised by<i> Publishers Weekly</i> as an author with a “flair for dialogue and eccentric characterizations” and by <i>RT Bookclub </i>for having “cornered the market on sinfully attractive, dominant antiheroes and the women who swoon for them.” A five time finalist for Romance Writers of America’s prestigious RITA award, JK took home the first RITA trophy awarded in the category of erotic romance in 2014 for her novel, <i>Claim Me </i>(book 2 of her Stark Trilogy). Her Demon Hunting Soccer Mom series (as Julie Kenner) is currently in development with AwesomenessTV/Awestruck.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Her books have sold over three million copies and are published in over twenty languages.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">In her previous career as an attorney, JK worked as a clerk on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and practiced primarily civil, entertainment and First Amendment litigation in Los Angeles and Irvine, California, as well as in Austin, Texas. She currently lives in Central Texas, with her husband, two daughters, and two rather spastic cats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This could explain her affinity for rule breaking and rum.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“You got no idea, do you?” He kept his voice soft, low, though his insides were burning with the instinct to touch her, to lick dry the water from her beautiful skin. Luka closed his eyes, inhaling that lilac scent like it would satisfy him. He knew it wouldn’t. “You’re clueless how easy it would be to have any man you want?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="m-8355921032193429798msolistparagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 4.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: 31.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Luka opened his eyes when he felt the wet touch of her fingertips near his cheek. Gia didn’t smile. She didn’t seem able to do anything but hold every emotion off her face as she watched him. Her control awed him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="m-8355921032193429798msolistparagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 4.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: 31.5pt;">

Luka tensed, not sure what she wanted or how she’d go about getting whatever that was. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="m-8355921032193429798msolistparagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 4.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: 31.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">She meant him, he knew, but that wouldn’t make him move. It wouldn’t keep the reminder of her age, her probable inexperience from his thoughts. “You’re young,” he told her, hoping that would keep her from touching him again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Luka was starting to realize this Gia was one that might be tired of the sidelines. Maybe she was tired of watching and waiting and never having what she wanted. Maybe, he thought, she was ready to step onto the field and play. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="m-8355921032193429798msolistparagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 4.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: 31.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Gia moved, making Luka step back, her wet body closer to him now, her breath heating his skin as she spoke. “I'm old enough for you, <span class="il">Luka</span>.” Her breath was cool, smelled like mint, and there was a low, soft moan in her voice that made him harder. “My…my uncle…” She cleared her throat, looking down, then quickly up at him as though internally convincing herself to finish this. “My uncle will leave for Florida after tomorrow’s practice.” Some of her confidence slipped when she brushed her wet hair behind her ear, but she still looked directly at Luka. “My dorm is empty. We could be alone.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="m-8355921032193429798msolistparagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 4.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: 31.5pt;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">She was off limits, right? She was forbidden. Luka knew that. It was information that ran like a ticker tape scrolling in his mind. Gia wasn’t some beautiful woman he’d flirted with at a club or some Blue Devil-proud girl eager to thank Luka for his performance on the field. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="m-8355921032193429798msolistparagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 4.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: 31.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">She was his coach’s niece. She was his coach’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">eighteen-year-old</i> niece. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">He could have taken her right then. She was already wet. He was sufficiently hard, but Luka held back, teeth gritted, jaw working as he grabbed the towel hanging from the hook next to the entrance. He moved close, his skin wetting as he grazed her chest and shoulder when he covered her body with the thick towel in his hand. The smallest twist of his head and he could reach her mouth. Their lips were so close already, their breath heated and mixed and did things to Luka’s head he wasn’t sure he liked. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="m-8355921032193429798msolistparagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 4.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: 31.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Gia shifted her gaze, moving her chin like she was prepared for whatever he gave her. Like she wanted it all and wouldn’t settle for anything less. But Luka reminded himself one last time who she was and why he shouldn’t be there with her. He lingered, unable to pull back out of her reach before he inhaled, taking in that lilac scent and the teasing delicious taste of her breath. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="m-8355921032193429798msolistparagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 4.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: 31.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">He moved his chin, a half an inch away from her lips, then grinned, a half smile gesture that made her release the breath she’d been holding. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="m-8355921032193429798msolistparagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 4.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: 31.5pt;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He’s a football god.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She’s the daughter of a Texas senator.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Their chemistry is like oil and water.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My name is Ryker James. I hate when people tell me what to do. I’m cocky, ornery, and I take things when I want them. Caring isn’t in my vocabulary unless it’s related to football or my family, and I just lost my entire family in a blink of an eye. Now all I have is football.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The problem is the misery, the drinking, and the parties have more appeal to me. But Lakemont University wants that championship. Fans want to see wins on the scoreboard, and my teammates salivate to crush our opponents every game. The only pass I might be throwing is at the auburn-haired girl who waltzes into my life. She’s fire. I’m ice. A combination that doesn’t work. So let the games begin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My name is Haven Hale, and I’d been tucked away in a boarding school most of my life. Now I’m a big-time college girl, and all I see is freedom in front of me. But first, I have to agree to my father’s demands—no media attention and no sororities. If I can follow those two edicts, then college life should be a breeze.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Until one close encounter with Ryker James, and Father Dearest has changed the game. Stay away from the big, bad quarterback, or face my father’s wrath. There’s only one problem. I can’t help who I’m attracted to, and Ryker James is a magnet, built to attract any female, constructed to make any girl’s heart sputter, and my heart is beating off the charts. But it’s time to choose between the devil I know and the one I don’t.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm Susan Alexander, and you'll find my books under S.B. Alexander. A little about me. I've been writing since 2012 and started with writing all about vampires. After the second vampire book, I began to branch out in New Adult Romance. I love to read mostly all genres, and I'm always game to try something new. So I tested my hand at writing romantic suspense and just loved it. So you'll find I write in several different sub-genres of romance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In between writing, I spend time with my soul mate of 20 years who got a bad deal in life. Three years ago he was diagnosed with ALS. It's a horrible disease, but we both have been making the best of life, laughing, smiling, and doing what we can together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But writing is a great outlet for me to take my mind to another place. Plus, I have a great network of family, friends, fans, and so much more. I truly have an angel on my shoulder. My mantra is make the best of life because it's too darn short.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“You jealous, Becca?” He paused before opening the door.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Her heart raced when he said her name in that low, caressing
tone. “No.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you want from me?” His heated gaze burned into her. He was now so close she
could smell his mixture of soap and deodorant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She wanted to scoot even closer, to immerse herself in his
scent. Everything about him made her feel something far more important than
sexy. Safe. “I think I made it clear yesterday.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

His mouth opened over hers, his tongue demanding entrance and she gave it to
him. She melted, unable to resist the effect he had on her body. He kissed her
until she was breathless, until her tongue was as wild as his, until she
clutched his arms for balance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">His arms dropped away from her. She threw a hand out to
catch herself against the side of the car. Her eyes fluttered open and met his
cool expression.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He opened the door and helped her sit in the low seat.
Dazed, she stared up at his frown.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong><br /></strong>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Award winning author, Zoe Forward is a hopeless romantic who can’t decide between paranormal and contemporary romance. So, she writes both.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When she’s not typing at her laptop, she’s cheering her son on at baseball, chasing after the toddler or cleaning up the newest pet mess from the menagerie that occupies her house. She’s a board-certified veterinarian. You can ask her about your pet’s problem, but be warned she’s into integrative medicine so her answer might involve treatments you’ve never heard of.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Fall in love in Harmony Pointe, where hearts are lost, found, and
sometimes misplaced…and everyone get a happy ever after.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If a woman can’t find love in the quaint town of
Harmony Pointe, it’s sure to find them—whether they’re looking for it or not. Here,
the remaining single Dalton siblings are about to discover that they’re next in
line to get swept away by love. A sweet and sexy spin-off of Melissa’s beloved
Sugar Lake series.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ben Dalton has always been honest, except where
his heart is concerned. He’s been in love with his best friend—saucy,
smart-mouthed Aurelia Stark—forever. But Ben’s a planner, and timing has never
been on his side. When he finally decides to make his move, Aurelia beats him
to the punch with a move of her own—to a different town.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Aurelia loves her new life in the charming town
of Harmony Pointe. She has a great apartment and her very own bookstore, and
best of all, the sinfully hot, commitment-phobic friend she’s crushed on for
years is no longer just around the corner. Maybe she’ll finally be able to
leave her unrequited love behind and move on.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But when a baby is left on Ben’s front porch—a
baby that is presumably his—Aurelia is there for him. Neither one knows the
first thing about babies, but how hard can it be? Ben and Aurelia are
catapulted into a world of love, laughter, and tracking down the baby mama, and
it might even add up to a very happily ever after . . . just not one either of
them expects.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From New York Times and
USA Today bestselling author Kristen Ashley comes a new story in her Dream Man
series…<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Charlotte “Lottie” McAlister is in the zone. She’s ready to
take on the next chapter of her life, and since she doesn’t have a man, she’ll
do what she’s done all along. She’ll take care of business on her own. Even if
that business means starting a family.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The problem is, Lottie has a stalker. The really bad kind.
The kind that means she needs a bodyguard.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Enter Mo Morrison.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Enormous. Scary.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Quiet.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mo doesn’t say much, and Lottie’s used to getting attention.
And she wants Mo’s attention. Badly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But Mo has a strict rule. If he’s guarding your body, that’s
all he’s doing with it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, the longer Mo has to keep Lottie safe, the faster he
falls for the beautiful blonde who has it so together, she might even be able
to tackle the demons he’s got in his head that just won’t die.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But in the end, Lottie and Mo don’t only have to find some
way to keep hands off until the threat is over, they have to negotiate the
overprotective Hot Bunch, Lottie’s crazy stepdad, Tex, Mo’s crew of frat-boy
commandos, not to mention his nutty sisters.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All before Lottie finally gets her Dream Man.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And Mo can lay claim to his Dream Girl.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
</h2>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He picked up the paper, turned it over and read it again.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It stated, plainly, he was fucked.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">More alarmingly, it stated, chillingly, Mac was in danger.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This was a problem more than it was already a colossal motherfucking problem.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Any other one of his girls, he’d pick up the phone to Lee Nightingale, the man behind Nightingale Investigations, the commander of the baddest badass motherfuckers in Denver. He’d hand over this letter and he’d get this problem solved.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But Mac was Charlotte McAlister, Jet McAlister Chavez’s little sister. Jet was married to Eddie Chavez. Eddie was Lee’s best friend. And Jet worked for Indy, Lee’s wife, the Queen of the Rock Chicks, and thus Jet Chavez was a bona fide Rock Chick.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mac might not be a card-carrying member of the Rock Chicks, mostly because she had a job where she worked nights, the time those crazy bitches instigated the most fucked-up of their varying antics. Though they weren’t averse to mornings and afternoons. It was just that the stun-gunnings, kidnappings and the like mostly took place at night, and Mac was busy then.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She was still a Rock Chick, or at least she was by association.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Considering the Rock Chick link and the blood ties to Jet, if Lee knew Mac was in danger, he’d tear the town apart to put a stop to it.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And Eddie…</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now Eddie, Smithie didn’t even want to think about it. The man was a cop. The shit Lee and his boys did with flair and a flagrant disregard to just about anything, Eddie could not do.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But Eddie wouldn’t blink at doing whatever he had to do to make his sister-in-law safe.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And the man had mouths to feed.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So yeah.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This was a problem even more than it already was a colossal motherfucking problem because Smithie couldn’t call Lee.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Which meant Smithie had to find a different set of badasses to deal with it.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">His first call would normally be the Chaos Motorcycle Club. Mac wasn’t one of theirs, neither was Smithie, but they had ties to Lee, they could keep a secret, and they didn’t dick around when it came to women and their safety.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But they’d just come out of a war, and like any war, that had been some serious fucked-up shit.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They needed a breather.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lee, and Chaos, also had ties to…</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Well, hell,” Smithie muttered, the words on the letter blurring, the sick feeling in the back of his throat easing.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He dropped the letter and picked up his cell.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you couldn’t call a badass…</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then it was far from second best to call a commando.</span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<strong><img alt="" class="wp-image-48131 alignleft" src="http://www.inkslingerpr.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/kristen-ashley-horizontal-1024x731.jpg" height="151" width="212" /></strong></h3>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Kristen
Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA and nearly killed her mother and herself
making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around
her neck (already attempting to accessorize and she hadn’t taken her first
breath!). Her mother said they took Kristen away, put her Mom back in her room,
her mother looked out the window, and Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been
assassinated four days before). Kristen’s Mom remembered thinking it was the
end of the world. Quite the dramatic beginning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="background: white; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Nothing’s
changed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Kristen grew
up in Brownsburg, Indiana and has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West
Country of England. Thus, she’s blessed to have friends and family around the
globe. Her family was (is) loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you
want to write. They all lived together on a very small farm in a small farm
town in the heartland. She grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO
Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="background: white; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Needless to
say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to
grow up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

keeps growing, it keeps getting better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“I’m so fucking sorry,” she babbles. “Please, please don’t hurt me. I’ll do whatever you want.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have her by the wrist, pulling her out from her little hiding place. Her nice clothes are covered in dust and cobwebs. She’s damn right she’ll do whatever I want. She’ll be whatever I want. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There’s rope on the desk. I keep a supply of it. It comes in handy for handling difficult people, and Candi is already one of the most difficult people I’ve ever tried to handle. I’ve never taken anyone like her. The people I have to bring here are usually men and they’ve usually not fucked up half as bad as she has. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Hold still,” I growl, pulling her up and over my thighs to get her bound. That short skirt of hers doesn’t do anything to hide her modesty. Pretty soon I’m seeing flashes of panty. They’ve got strawberries on them, and cream. I feel myself stiffen at the idea of adding a little more cream to the mix. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She starts wriggling as soon as she feels the rope around her wrists. So much for doing what I say. This girl doesn’t care about keeping her promises. She doesn’t even try to. She just says what she thinks she needs to say. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’m going to make her mean her words. I’m going to take them away, so she can’t tell anything but the truth. I’m going to introduce her to the idea of truth. The real truth. Not the cotton candy bullshit she has been taught to pretend is real. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’m going to hurt her. She’s going to feel pain. And she’s going to think I’m the bad guy for making her feel that pain, but she brought this on herself. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I tie her up, tight, winding the rope around her wrists to keep them together, leaving just enough room for blood flow and no more. Then I cut the rope and push her further over my lap, wrapping the rope around her ankles and giving them the same treatment. Soon I have her trussed over my lap. I think about hog-tying her, having her dangle from a beam with her arms and legs behind her. It’s a vulnerable position and I know it will terrify her. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She deserves this. She deserves everything I do to her. Hell, she deserves a whole lot I won’t do, too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If I’m going to tie her to something, having her ankles and wrists bound isn’t enough. Can’t hang someone from those points in the position she’s in and not cause damage - which is not what I want. That means more rope in more intimate places. I thread it between her thighs and snug it up against that strawberry covered mound of hers. She makes a frightened little grunting sound that quickly turns into a moan she can’t hide as the rope slides past that sensitive spot and up around under her shoulders and around her breasts. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I take my time with her, turning her over on my lap, pulling the rope through the tight little spaces her already bound body makes for me, enjoying the look on her face. There is something innocent about her. How could there not be? She’s young, and she’s spoiled, and I don’t know if she’s been fucked before, but I do know she’s going to be. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When she’s wound in rope to my satisfaction, I attach a heavier cord and get her trussed up over a beam outside the offices, dangling maybe five feet from the ground, my sexy little privileged piniata. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Please… please…” she keeps whimpering like she’s owed mercy, but she’s not owed a damn thing. “Please don’t hurt me…”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“You stole from me,” I remind her. “It’s only right I steal something from you, too.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Oh my god. Oh my god.” There are tears beading in her eyes, streaming down her pretty cheeks, dripping down onto the floor below. I’m sure tears usually work for her. They're not going to work on me. I’ve seen enough tears to last a life time, and these girlish little sniffles aren’t anything compared to the cries I’ve heard in the past. She’s going to scream before I’m done with her. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I stand back and watch her, slowly rotating because she’s struggling, so fucking pretty and so goddamn spoiled. Where to start with her, that’s the question. Can’t do anything too dramatic, I have to send her back to her safe little life at the end of this. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“I’ll do anything,” she babbles again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Yeah, you keep saying that,” I observe. “But I don’t think you mean it.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“I do mean it! I do!”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“So if I told you I wanted you to go rob a bank, you’d do that?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Uhm…”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Or how about kill someone. Would you do that?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She lets out one of those pathetic little sobs that cover her refusal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“You won’t do anything, because you can’t do anything. You’re a soft little girl in a hard world, but I tell you what you will be, and that’s my toy. I’m going to come and play with you whenever I feel like it.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I see her gulp, but she doesn’t get any more panicky than she already is. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“You like that idea, huh? You want someone like me to use you like you should be used?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Oh god,” she whispers, almost under her breath. She’s really squirming now, making herself spin even faster in place. I reach out and grab the rope to steady her and make her keep her eyes on me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Answer me, Candi.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“No,” she whimpers. “I don’t like that idea.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don’t believe her for a second. Her face is flushed, the way a girl’s gets when she’s close to orgasm. I haven’t even really touched her sexually, but the rope has. She’s probably dripping back there in that might as well be virginal pussy. Girl like her has probably been fucked, but not by anyone who knows what his dick is for.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's just as well Loki Renard became an author because other career paths proved disastrous. She was once thrown out of someone's house for trying to sell them citrus based cleaning product, and her brief brush with corporate life ended when she wrote profiles for her fellow employees likening them to various feral animals then attempted to negotiate the idea of not coming into the office and getting paid anyway. Perhaps if she'd had the dedication to slug herself in the face a la Fight Club, things might have turned out differently.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Jake Allen has been called many things. Sexiest video game CEO. Bad-boy. Player. The last thing he wants is to live up to his reputation with his business partner’s sister when Becca propositions he be her wedding hook-up. He’s wanted her forever, but the Harrisons are the only real family he’s ever known. One night between the sheets could ruin everything for him.</span></div>

asked? Her hands shook to the point she struggled to keep the phone level with
her ear. If she said no, she could end up in the same afterlife as Stuart or
arrested by the FBI for corporate espionage. A yes from her meant she’d hurt
people she cared about.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Natalie Winters thought she’d married the man of her dreams…but her marriage ended way too soon in a nightmarish divorce. She even has to share custody of the dog! The stress is killing her, so she decides to take a night off and attend the Breakup Bash—a private party for women celebrating their breakups—with her friends.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Former executive security specialist turned bartender Rome Collier is drawn to the woman easily trading sexy banter with him. And if she wants the “Do Me” condoms she accidentally throws across the counter at him, she’ll have to claim them…personally. Their flirtation turns into so much more, and every scintillating night they spend together is better than the last.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Strong, protective...and <em>hot</em>, Rome is everything Natalie ever wanted in a man. All she has to do is convince him he’s more than a rebound.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><span lang="EN-US">Breathe,
Collier, just</span></i><span lang="EN-US">
<i>breathe…</i> He forced himself to take in a steady stream of air through his
nose then slowly released it from his mouth. If he focused hard enough on his
breathing, his mind would absorb the pain. A few breaths later, sweat formed on
his spine, and once again, he was white-knuckling the back counter. <i>Fuck.</i> The damn pills weren’t kicking in
fast enough. He needed a distraction.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Excuse me, bartender.” The
woman’s sultry voice coming from behind Rome teased him from the brink of hell.
“I’ll take an orgasm.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He’d
filled countless orders for sex on the beaches, blow jobs, and wet pussies, but
overly coy deliveries or too much effort had ruined the effect. From her
naturally sensual tone, this woman had confidence lying on its back begging to
please her.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Auburn
highlights shown in the woman’s shoulder-length black hair. Long lashes
accented her brown eyes, and her full berry-colored lips were beyond tempting.
A thin-strapped, red tank top complemented flawless brown skin.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fuck
confidence lying on its back. He’d gladly lay under one of her sexy stilettos
for a closer look at her long shapely legs and equally enticing curves. At
least, that’s what he envisioned the counter hid from his view.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Logan
glanced over as if he was planning to take her order, prompting Rome to ignore
the pain and walk to her at the counter. “Sure you don’t want champagne
instead? It’s on the house.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“No.”
She tapped one of her red
manicured nails against the Naughty Nine menu. “I’m definitely
interested in a number five.” Her gaze met his. “I haven’t had a really good
orgasm in years.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Too
bad she was only talking about the drink. Or was she? “So, it’s been hard to
find someone to deliver what’s on the menu?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Yes.
My ex-husband definitely failed that test.” For a moment, a flash of sadness
intermingled with the spark of mischief in her eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Her
ex was clearly a dumb bastard or a fool. A woman as sexy as this one deserved
at least one orgasm every damn day of the week. As he envisioned slipping the
straps from her shoulders, revealing her voluptuous breasts and more of her
silky-smooth skin, his groin tightened. If she was in his arms, he’d explore
every inch of her on the way to delivering what she’d been unfairly denied.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Please don’t look at me like that…” I slur.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Please leave… just… leave me alone,” she pleads and my heart
breaks at her words. That’s what my mom used to tell me. She asked me to leave
her alone and I listened to her. Maybe if I hadn’t listened to her and listened
to my gut instead she would still be here, alive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I won’t leave you,” I tell her, shaking my head, determination
coating my words. “But please don’t look at me like I’m going to hurt you.
Please, don’t be scared of me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“You’re dunk,” she points out and that wild look in her eyes
overtakes her features now. She continues taking small steps backwards,
retreating further into the room, further away from me. I want her close, in my
arms, safe, secure. It’s the strangest, but truest emotion I’ve ever felt
before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Yes… I had something to drink, but that doesn’t change the fact
that I would never hurt you. I can control myself,” I sigh and set the plate
down on top of the dresser<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“You’re scaring me,” she admits, her voice small and shaky. I
don’t know who hurt her, but in that moment I vowed to myself to find out. I
will find out who did this to her and then I will make them pay. It’s obvious
she was powerless, weak, but she’s not anymore. She has me now, and I’ll
protect her, defend her till my last breath. I know this without even thinking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Holding my hands up, with my palms showing, I try to calm her like
I would a scared animal. “You don’t have to be scared of me. Not ever,” I
assured her. “I just want… I want you to feel safe. You don’t have to be scared
here. I promise I’ll keep you safe. No one will hurt you, least of all me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;">Life.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Wishes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dreams.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Loss.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some wishes never come true.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a young girl, Poppy Montgomery was told if she made a wish on fireflies, it would come true. She carried those words throughout her life, even when her battles were lost. When Poppy didn't have anyone else, the boy next door, Julien Pierce, vowed he would always be there for her...until he wasn't.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Julien's life has become too much for him to deal with. He wants a break from it all and to go back to his roots in Wishing, Kansas. He wants to remember the boy he once was, and there's no one better to give him the reality check he needs than Poppy Montgomery. The girl he loved and left, the girl he made a promise to and then broke it. How is he supposed to face her again even after all these years</span>?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-weight: 400;">Robert McClellan was forced to serve as a soldier in a war he didn’t understand. Liberated by McKay-Taggart, he struggles every day to reclaim the life he lost and do right by the men he calls his brothers, The Lost Boys. Only one thing is more important – Ariel Adisa. The gorgeous psychologist has plagued his dreams since the day they met. Even as their mission pushes him to his limits, he can’t stop thinking about taking his shot at finding a life beyond all this with her.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-weight: 400;">Ariel Adisa is a force to be reckoned with. Her performance in Toronto proved she’s more than just a brilliant mind, but Robert still acts as if she is a wilting flower who needs his protection. Joining him on the mission to Munich should be the perfect opportunity to test their skills and cement their relationship. She and Robert are an excellent match. But when a stunning secret from Robert’s past is revealed, their world is turned upside down and nothing will ever be the same again.</span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He led Ariel out. Down the hall he
saw Dante outside the media room, a beer in his hand. He’d been turned toward
the kitchen at the opposite end of the hall, as though he’d been standing there
staring at it. Had he been listening to the happy couples?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was something dark in Dante
that always gave him pause.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dante turned without a word and
disappeared behind the doors where he would likely drink himself to sleep. It
seemed to be the way he and Sasha operated.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But he wasn’t thinking about that
tonight. Tomorrow would be soon enough to sit everyone down and talk about the
problems they were having. He would get Jax on the phone. He wasn’t leaving him
out because he was in London.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Are you all right?” Ariel had
stopped beside him. “Is Dante giving you trouble?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He was glad she’d been upstairs when
they’d gone on their rant. “I think the pressure is starting to get to him. But
we can talk about that tomorrow. I think after we get back to London we should
have a big group meeting and get some things out in the open.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“They think Damon and Ian are keeping
things from them?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No. He did not want to go there. He
stopped in the middle of the hall and got into her personal space. She backed
up against the wall and he loomed over her. It was time to move from reality to
a place where they might be able to play out a few fantasies, if she was ready.
“No work talk. If you want to go to sleep, I’ll kiss you now and see you in the
morning. Tucker and I are in the room next to you. If you need anything I’ll be
there. If you aren’t tired and you want to talk some more, we can go down to
the bar and have another glass of wine with the full knowledge we don’t have to
go any further than that. I’m more than willing to sit up talking to you all
night long.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She tilted her head up to him. “And
if I want to go to bed but not to sleep?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">His heart rate ticked up, blood
starting to thrum through his system as he invaded further, brushing his chest
against hers. He reached for her wrists and gently brought them up and over her
head, pinning her to the wall. “Then we need to make a few things clear.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She took a deep breath, her lips
curling up as though she liked the way he smelled. “Me sub, you Dom. Got it.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He leaned over. “Hey, I’m trying to
make sure I take care of you the way you like to be taken care of. I’ve watched
you play. I don’t think your play partners realized how much you like being
dominated. I think they view you as a woman who enjoys a spanking from time to
time. They don’t get how much you need to know your partner is thinking about
how to handle you. They don’t understand that you need to stop thinking. You
need a place where you obey your partner.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“In their defense, I had no interest
in sex with any of them. I was looking for a spanking, some physical play that
wouldn’t lead to real intimacy. You watched me?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“I always watch you,” he admitted.
“It’s why my brothers insist I’m your stalker. I watch you because I can’t not
watch you when you’re in a room. If I thought for a second that it made you
uncomfortable, I would make myself stop, but I think you like it.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She watched him, too, and not in a
way that made him think she was wary of him. It had always been there between
them—the crackle and fire of sexual chemistry.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's just as well Loki Renard became an author because other career paths proved disastrous. She was once thrown out of someone's house for trying to sell them citrus based cleaning product, and her brief brush with corporate life ended when she wrote profiles for her fellow employees likening them to various feral animals then attempted to negotiate the idea of not coming into the office and getting paid anyway. Perhaps if she'd had the dedication to slug herself in the face a la Fight Club, things might have turned out differently.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My name is Ryker James. I hate when people tell me what to do. I’m
cocky, ornery, and I take things when I want them. Caring isn’t in my
vocabulary unless it’s related to football or my family, and I just lost my
entire family in a blink of an eye. Now all I have is football.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The problem is the misery, the drinking, and the parties have more
appeal to me. But Lakemont University wants that championship. Fans want to see
wins on the scoreboard, and my teammates salivate to crush our opponents every
game. The only pass I might be throwing is at the auburn-haired girl who
waltzes into my life. She’s fire. I’m ice. A combination that doesn’t work. So
let the games begin.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My name is Haven Hale, and I’d been tucked away in a boarding school
most of my life. Now I’m a big-time college girl, and all I see is freedom in
front of me. But first, I have to agree to my father’s demands—no media
attention and no sororities. If I can follow those two edicts, then college
life should be a breeze.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Until one close encounter with Ryker James, and Father Dearest has
changed the game. Stay away from the big, bad quarterback, or face my father’s
wrath. There’s only one problem. I can’t help who I’m attracted to, and Ryker
James is a magnet, built to attract any female, constructed to make any girl’s
heart sputter, and my heart is beating off the charts. But it’s time to choose
between the devil I know and the one I don’t.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The doorbell kept ringing as though
someone were holding the buzzer down. I was going to kill that person unless it
was Coach Chapman. He would turn his hammer on me.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I chuckled out loud. Coach Chapman
reminded me of Thor. At least his fists did when he rammed them down hard on a
table, trying to elicit my attention or the team’s.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">“I need you to leave.” My boner was
completely gone now. I walked out of my room without another glance at Blondie.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I navigated the stairs, not in the mood
to deal with whoever was standing on my porch. I knew one thing was certain—it
couldn’t be the cops. I didn’t have any other close family members who could be
dead. However, my aunt Kari was due in from England for the funeral. She’d been
calling me nonstop to give me updates about her arrival, which wasn’t for…
Hell, I didn’t even know. I’d lost track of days.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">As I descended the last step and walked
into the foyer, my blood gelled as I scrambled to think whether I’d missed
football practice. Maybe that was the reason Lucas wasn’t around. I discarded
that thought. For sure, Lucas would’ve dragged my ass out of bed early that
morning.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I opened the door swiftly, and a
red-haired pixie fell backward onto my bare feet. She was definitely not my
aunt Kari.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Red scrambled to stand then swiped her
hands down her jean shorts. At the same time, I was blatantly allowing my gaze
to roam up and down her petite frame. Her tits were round and perfect. Her
tanned legs were toned. Her lips were plump. Mmm. I liked plump lips. But she
had no meat on her body.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">“May I help you?” I asked. Maybe I can
help you get your lips around my dick. At that thought, he jerked in my sweats.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">She brushed her fingers through her
hair, her eyes going straight to my crotch. “You can start by not sizing me up
like I’m your breakfast.”</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Tell me not to do something, and I’ll
do it.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">So once again, my gaze took a road trip
over her body, slow and sure. “I haven’t eaten yet. Are you hungry?” I waggled
my eyebrows, hoping she would get my underlying meaning.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">She pushed past me and stomped into my
house like she owned it. “We need to talk.”</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The air around her filtered into my
nose—lilacs. As if her scent was all I needed, bits and pieces of the night
before registered in my murky brain.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Heaven.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">“Talk or fuck? Because you were checking
me out too,” I said, not that my erection wasn’t evident.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">She gave me a cheeky smile. “I don’t do
one-night stands.”</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I grinned. “It’s daylight. How about a
one-day stand?”</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The sun poured in through the open door
and the windows in the living room and dining room on either side of us as we
stood in the foyer.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">She shoved her middle finger in the
air. “How many fingers do I have up?”</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I closed the door and stalked toward
her until she was pinned up against the banister. “Be careful, dollface. That
gesture means something completely different to me.”</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">She rolled her green eyes as her chest
rose and fell. “You’re an ass. And I’m not dollface.”</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I lowered my head until our lips were a
half-inch apart. “What would you like to be called, then?”</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">“Ew, your breath is disgusting.” She
flattened her small hands against my bare chest and froze, staring at my pecs.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Not caring about my morning breath, I
inhaled her lilac scent, which was doing crazy things to my body.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">She worried her bottom lip. “Um. Can
you step away?”</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">“Are you sure you want me to?” Because
I want to fuck your brains out.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I didn’t know what in the hot Texas sun
was happening. More memories of her on my lap bombarded me. This chick had some
kind of juju that jumped off her and into me.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">She finally ducked under my arm. “I
need you to focus.” She wound her way down the hall and into the kitchen as
though she owned the house. “You need a maid and a monstrous fan to blow out
the stench in here.”</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The only aroma I had in my nostrils was
her.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I followed her as a door upstairs
opened and closed. “I need a blow job.”</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">She snorted. “Ask one of the many women
you sleep with.”</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I didn’t recall her being so feisty
when she was sitting on me. But I wasn’t complaining. I dug strong women. I
also loved a challenge, and Red was throwing out challenge after challenge.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm Susan Alexander,
and you'll find my books under S.B. Alexander. A little about me. I've been
writing since 2012 and started with writing all about vampires. After the
second vampire book, I began to branch out in New Adult Romance. I love to read
mostly all genres, and I'm always game to try something new. So I tested my
hand at writing romantic suspense and just loved it. So you'll find I write in
several different sub-genres of romance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In between writing, I
spend time with my soul mate of 20 years who got a bad deal in life. Three
years ago he was diagnosed with ALS. It's a horrible disease, but we both have
been making the best of life, laughing, smiling, and doing what we can
together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But writing is a
great outlet for me to take my mind to another place. Plus, I have a great
network of family, friends, fans, and so much more. I truly have an angel on my
shoulder. My mantra is make the best of life because it's too darn short.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">"You <i>cannot</i> do
this to me, Cassie," Sam Wylde argued over the speakerphone attached to
his truck's dashboard. He cringed as his Southern drawl came out a little
thicker than usual. Frustration did that to him, and right now it was taking
everything in him to not start cussing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">With a deft twist of his
wrist, he steered his truck into the parking lot next to Town Hall, cutting off
another car with a halfhearted wave of acknowledgement. He needed to pick up
several permits before the city offices closed, leaving no room for
pleasantries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He sighed and forced his
attention back to the phone call. "We've got a few months until the launch
of the entire brand. Everything I've done the last two years is riding on
this."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

sorry," Cassie, his event planner, said from the other end of the phone.
Or <i>former</i> event planner, apparently. "But I can't be in
two places at once, and neither can my influencers and vendors. We're booked
for that day now."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

exploding, Sam breathed in slowly. "But. You. Signed. With. Us. <i>First</i>."
He ground the words out slow and steady.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Noah," Cassie informed him. "And where I go…so do my

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-weight: 400;">Robert McClellan was forced to serve as a soldier in a war he didn’t understand. Liberated by McKay-Taggart, he struggles every day to reclaim the life he lost and do right by the men he calls his brothers, The Lost Boys. Only one thing is more important – Ariel Adisa. The gorgeous psychologist has plagued his dreams since the day they met. Even as their mission pushes him to his limits, he can’t stop thinking about taking his shot at finding a life beyond all this with her.</span></div>

Joining him on the mission to Munich should be the perfect opportunity to test their skills and cement their relationship. She and Robert are an excellent match. But when a stunning secret from Robert’s past is revealed, their world is turned upside down and nothing will ever be the same again.</span></div>

prepared myself for a life without love. Lost my parents and anyone else I got
close to. Nothing good ever stays for long. I’m a statistic after all. Former

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I
clamp my mouth shut to keep it from falling wide open. Brawny. Strapping.
Muscular. Built. None of the words coming to mind seem adequate enough to
describe the Herculean god sitting before me. It’s almost a sin he covered
himself up with all those tattoos. <i>Almost.</i>
The intricate pieces of art twist around his muscular arms, all the way down to
his knuckles. A tease of ink pokes out of the neckline of his shirt, stopping
halfway up his neck. Every inch of his body has trouble written all over it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">His
face though … his face is a different story. It’s so handsome it looks like it
doesn’t belong on his body. The icy-blue of his eyes is warmed by his smile,
which is complete with a set of dimples. A backwards baseball cap covers his
hair, but his thick brows and scruff peppering his chiseled jawline are as dark
as a cup of coffee.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

an oxymoron. The face of an angel with the body of Satan himself. A dark ray of
light. A friendly nemesis. The man is menacingly beautiful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">About Kristen Granata</span></strong></div>
<strong><br /></strong>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #111111; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Kristen Granata is a teacher by day, and an
(exhausted) author by night. Known for writing emotional New Adult Romance, she
loves creating realistic, flawed characters who struggle through the darkest
parts of life and come out stronger on the other side. Kristen is a self-proclaimed
"bitter cynic trapped in a hopeless romantic's body." Her characters
pack a sarcastic punch, make you laugh, make you think, make you ugly cry - and
they will always live happily ever after. If you're a lover of moving,
inspirational reads, Kristen's your girl.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #111111; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #111111; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Kristen was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1986.
She moved to Staten Island with her family and lived there for almost twenty
years. There she attended community college and became a teacher. Despite her
passion for writing, and despite her professors strongly suggesting she become
a writer, she took the more sensible route (bitter cynic, remember?) After
going through a difficult divorce when she was only twenty-nine, Kristen
returned to writing. The raw story that poured out of her led her to publish
her debut novel, Collision, in March of 2018. Soon after in August 2018, the
sequel, Avoidance, was published. Her third novel, The Other Brother, released
in April 2019.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #111111; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #111111; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Kristen openly shares her mental health
struggles with depression and anxiety with her Instagram following. Her message
is a beacon of hope to anyone who is suffering: You are not alone. She
delicately weaves this theme into her writing, and demonstrates the ability of
love to heal trauma.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #111111; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #111111; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">When she's not teaching or writing, Kristen is
reading, Instagramming, indulging in her messy love affair with popcorn, and
annoying her wife and step-daughters by incessantly singing along to The
Greatest Showman soundtrack.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Averie, you have the rest of your life ahead of you.” They were wrong. James

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I should have listened, and he should have tried

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">My lips pressed to hers. “You can touch me anywhere.” I kissed her
again. “It’s whatever <i>you</i> want, Averie.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I would be lying if I said I hadn’t been masturbating to images
of her—every fucking day. Especially after talking to her on the phone at
night. Her voice held this sexy rasp that sent all kinds of signals to my cock
each time she spoke, and the wrong signals, too. It wasn’t the let’s-be-friends
kind. It was the let-me-spread-your-legs-and-have-you-for-dessert kind,
let-me-make-you-come-on-my-cock kind. And as we began to make out again, it
remained in the back of my mind that I needed to tell her about my condition.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Kissing was okay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Touching was okay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">But anything more than that, and I would have to tell her first.
It wouldn’t be anything short of a betrayal if I didn’t. She wasn’t like the
other three I’d slept with, she was more, I felt it every time I so much as
looked at her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Her hand moved over my zipper, and my cock lurched in my jeans,
and as she began to caress me, a groan caught in my throat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Fuck. Take my cock out if you want, </span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I told her with my kiss. <i>Whatever you
want, Averie. Oh, fuck yes . . .</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Her grip tightened around my dick as she continued to work it
through the material, all I could think was how much I wanted to feel her bare
hands on me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">With me on the brink of insanity, my lips crushed to hers,
desperate with need.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">After pressing myself into her hand, I rolled onto my back and
flicked my belt from the loop, undoing it and my button in two seconds flat
before yanking my zipper down. As her eyes shifted to my hand shoving at my
jeans and then the tent pole situation in my boxers, I watched her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Her fingers glided over my abs and under the waistband of my
boxers, and inside to grip my cock.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">My head fell back, and a heavy breath passed my lips as my eyes
closed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: large; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Blurb</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The last time I saw Declan St. James was at our rehearsal dinner. That was shortly before he jilted me at the altar. To avoid the swarm of whispers and finger pointing every time I dared to show my face in public, I fled two hours south to Atlanta and never looked back. Over the last decade, I’d planned hundreds of scenarios about how our next meeting would go down. The expletives I’d hurl at him. Which knee I might use to annihilate his balls. Which dimpled cheek on his ridiculously handsome face I would send a stinging slap across. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But being elbow deep in a cow’s ass was not one of them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Normally, I didn’t get up close and personal to a bovine’s rectum. At least not since veterinarian school. But desperate times found me back home to attend my grandfather’s funeral, who happened to be the town’s large animal vet. Those two facts had left me wading through manure in Roy Wallace’s pasture to care for a distressed heifer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While time and maturity seemed to have changed him from the boy I knew, I still wasn’t falling for his charm. Or his hard, chiseled body. Or ass you could eat dinner off of.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">No, I wasn’t going back down that street again. Unfortunately, Declan didn’t seem to get the message. Instead, he seemed as stubborn as he ever was and ready for a fight. It’ll be the fight of his life for me to let him back in my heart.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Katie Ashley is a New York Times, USA Today, and Amazon Best-Selling author of both Indie and Traditionally published books. She lives outside of Atlanta, Georgia with her daughter, Olivia, and her spoiled mutt, Duke. She has a slight obsession with Pinterest, The Golden Girls, Shakespeare, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Scooby-Doo.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With a BA in English, a BS in Secondary English Education, and a Masters in Adolescent English Education, she spent eleven years teaching both middle and high school English, as well as a few adjunct college English classes. As of January 2013, she hung up her red pen and expo markers to become a full-time writer. Each and every day she counts her blessings to be able to do her dream job.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Although her roots are firmly planted in the red Georgia clay, she loves traveling the country and world to meet readers and hang out with fellow authors. When she’s not writing or chasing down her toddler, you might find her watching reruns of The Golden Girls, reading historical biographies, along with romance novels, or spending way too much time on Facebook.</span></span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
