About READY OR NOT:

Born into wealth and privilege, free-spirited Liv Prescott left it all behind when she realized there was more to life than living off of trust funds and barely skating by. Since then, she’s worked and fought for everything she’s earned and never looked back at the world or the family she left behind.

Jackson Reid is starting over with a new job in a brand new city. A single father to his son Noah, he hopes the change will help strengthen the bond that has seemed to suffer since puberty reared its ugly head. What he hadn’t planned on was Liv—his exotic next-door neighbor who drives him insane with her wild, new age lifestyle, but still manages to leave him aching for more.

As challenges arise and feelings intensify, will these neighbors be able to look past their differences and find a middle ground? When love comes knocking, will they be ready, or not?

Excerpt:

When I finally stepped out of my car, a gasp escaped my lungs as my eyes lowered to the flower beds separating our two houses.

“Who would do such a thing?” I whispered, looking down at the decapitated and ravaged flowers.

The once beautiful display of multicolored perennials was now a churned-up disaster of footprints and soil.

My heated gaze settled on the lights glowing within the house. A shadow passed by an open window upstairs in what used to be Mrs. Reid’s master bedroom.

I took one step forward, ready to march over, meet my new neighbors, and give them a piece of my mind.

A strong gust of wind sent the curtain into a tailspin and suddenly the shadow solidified, and I saw the finest bare back I’d seen in years. It was tanned, broad, and so muscular that the defined muscles could be seen from two floors down. Hard, lean arms reached out toward a box and grabbed a T-shirt as I begged him to turn around—until my eyes found his ass.

Dear Lord.

My new neighbor was hot—or at least the back of him was.

Turn around, turn around, I silently begged.

The weather took that moment to remind me of its mighty power and sent a strong gust of wind whipping through the two houses. The curtain settled back in place, and I was once again left with shadows.

As the first raindrop fell, signaling the impending storm, I looked down at the once perfect garden that I had painstakingly kept alive as a tribute to my longtime friend and neighbor. It had been trampled on and was now ruined, and I felt the rage boiling back up to the surface.

Hot or not, my new neighbor was a plant-trampling jerk, and when I got home from work tomorrow, I’d make sure he knew it.

I’d also take a moment to see if that face of his matched his perfect back and ass.

Shut up, Liv.

About the Series:

LOGAN’S LONESTAR HEROES, a new western romantic suspense series by Becky McGraw

Dave Logan, former recon marine and ex-cop is a man who lived inside the box of government restrictions and red tape for many years. When he had enough of
seeing criminals and corruption continue despite his best efforts because of that red tape, he decided to do something about it. He assembled a group of
likeminded men with unique skill sets, cowboys of a different sort, to combat crime in the new wild, wild west.Deep Six Security exists to fill the gap
between the right and wrong side of the law. The men of Deep Six operate just beyond the box. They are willing to do what it takes to keep their home state
safe. They are patriots, rebels and most importantly renegades. They are as different as night and day, but they have one thing in common, their love of
God, country and the great state of Texas.

If the six pack doesn’t work, there’s always a shotgun and a shovel…

About the New Release:

TILL DEATH (#1, Logan’s Lonestar Heroes)

Release Date: November 10th

Blurb:

Dave Logan, owner of Deep Six Security, is stunned when former Dallas FBI head, Susan Whitmore, darkens his doorstep accusing him of being the cause of her
losing her job. After hearing her situation, Dave feels something he never expects to feel–sorry for her. But he also knows any problems she had at the
agency were all her own fault. The woman has a tongue so sharp it could rip a man to shreds, and had many times. There was a reason her agents dubbed her
the Barracuda.

Although Dave needs agents in the worst way, and Susan, with an IQ higher than Einstein, better skills and more experience than any of his men, along with
a master’s degree in criminal justice, is more than qualified to be a member of his team, he just doesn’t need the drama she and her mouth would bring to
Deep Six . Even as his brain said no way though, his damned white-knight complex forces him to offer her a job as his temporary secretary.

Realizing he’s made a huge mistake hiring her, Dave calls in favors to get her interviews to get her out of his office. Before he can get rid of her
though, Dave gets a new case only Susan can help him with. A wealthy Dallas oilman and his trophy wife ordered a designer baby from a local fertility
clinic, and the surrogate has gone missing with the baby. The couple wants Deep Six Security to investigate the facility and find the baby, but the only
way Dave can do that is to get inside. To get inside his only option is to go undercover with Susan, posing as a wealthy married couple looking for a baby.
What they find when they get to the spa-like compound is frightening. Payoffs, missing surrogates and young women being used as lab rats are just the tip
of the iceberg.

Can two alpha personalities, both used to being in charge, work together long enough to figure out what’s going on at the clinic, or will they kill each
other before the bad guys at the facility have a chance? If they’re lucky, perhaps the delicious friction between them will turn into something so hot the
place spontaneously combusts. Or if they’re luckier, maybe it will turn into something which might just last till death do them part.

Hot! Hot! Hot off the press! Terri Anne Browning’s next Rocker book is here!!




SYNOPSIS:
The Rocker Who Cherishes Me

Wroth

The marines took me from a Tennessee
farm boy and turned me into a hard man. Between the things I’d seen during my
tour of duty and the things I’d done during my years as a member of OtherWorld,
nothing could faze me. Nothing.
Except for HER.
She’s everything that is good in the
world. At least, my world. Everything I’ve ever done has been for her. Always
for her. I feel as if I need her to breathe, to feel alive. But I can’t have
Marissa. She’s to innocent, to damn perfect. And me? I’m not good enough for
that girl. She deserves better, someone who would spend their life CHERISHING
her. Not breaking her heart.
Marissa

Between my brother and Wroth Niall I’d
been protected from the world for most of my life. You would think I was still
a little girl the way they treated me. But I wasn’t made out of glass. It would
take a lot to break this girl. Because if a childhood cancer hadn’t kicked my
butt, nothing would. Right?

Wrong.

All I’ve ever wanted was for him to
look at me. Really look at me and see that I wasn’t a fragile piece of
porcelain that would break if he touched me. What I got was a lot more…but
nowhere close to enough. Once I touched heaven—at least heaven for me—and now I
didn’t know how to go back to what Wroth and I had had before. I can’t go back
to the life I was living before my short time with Wroth. It would destroy me
to stay that close, when I know that I’m not what he really wants. So when my
brother asks me to go on tour with him yet again, I decide to jump on that tour
bus without a backwards glance.
Only I wasn’t prepared to be stuck on
HIS bus.

EXCERPT:
Wroth
(Unedited. Subjected to Changes – Mature Language)

She was out on the dance floor with a glass of something fruity in one hand and
her other hand wrapped around Rhett’s arm as she danced between him, Natalie
and Linc. I slammed my now empty bottle of beer down onto the bar top, making
Emmie who had been standing close by jump. But I didn’t think to apologize. My
mind was cloudy but focused on only one mission. 


Kiss Marissa.

“Fuck, why am I the only sober one when he is suddenly shit faced?” I thought I
heard Axton whine behind me. 

Was I shitfaced? Maybe, but I didn’t care. 

As I strode toward my girl someone stepped in front of me, but I pushed past
him, not caring if I knocked the man on his ass or not. As I drew closer
Natalie and Linc stopped dancing and Natalie took a few steps back, pulling
Linc with her. After a small hesitation she reached for Rhett and tugged him
back with her and the muscle head. Marissa, oblivious to her friends’ desertion
and my approach continued to sway to the soft music with her eyes nearly
closed. 

My buzzed mind decided to take advantage of her like that and I wrapped my arms
around her from behind. My hands folded around her waist and I lowered my head
even as she stiffened in my arms. Burying my nose in her neck I inhaled like a
man deprived of oxygen would take in lungful after lungful of fresh air. Dallas
had been right earlier. Marissa’s shampoo did smell good. It was something
different from what she had once used, but it smelled delicious and made her
hair soft and shiny. 

Marissa tried to turn in my arms but I tightened my hold around her waist,
locking her in place against me. As if it had developed a mind of its own, my
tongue snuck out and tasted the soft skin under her ear, rewarding me instantly
with a shiver that she was unable to contain. Around us everyone else
disappeared and I swayed to the music with her. I didn’t dance, but if it meant
I got to have her in my arms then I would do the fucking Macarena
A NOTE FROM TERRI:
Having had a passion for reading from the time my aunt first
handed me my first romance, I slowly grew bored with just reading. I wanted to
control the characters, make them into who I wanted them to be and that way I
was never disappointed with the endings. I soon learned that it isn’t always
that easy. The characters control the author. But that is all part of the fun
when creating a new story. Seeing where these people take you on their journey
to find their soul-mate has become my new passion and getting to incorporate my
love of music–Rock music in particular–has been a dream come true. Thanks for
taking this crazy ride with me, and I can’t wait to see where we go next!

Check out the very Hot – Bound In Blue by Jessica Ingro!!

Synopsis

Strong ties aren’t easily broken…

First loves have the ability to fill us with hope and then shatter us when they end. Some people can pick up the pieces and move on. Others simply learn how to exist as a fragment of the person that they used to be.

Shane “Mack” MacAllister is one of the ones simply existing. His wife Ella died at a young age, leaving him alone and broken. Shane knew he’d never be able to give himself to another, believing there was nothing left to give. That is until a young, feisty doctor blazed into his life and made him rethink letting someone into what’s left of his tattered heart.

Dr. Megan Huntley has devoted her life to taking care of others, ever since her twin sister was brutally murdered. She might not have been able to save her sister, but she has made it her mission to help other victims. Long hours in the Emergency Room and volunteer work at the Rape Crisis Center leave little time for relationships. When Megan meets the rugged and handsome Shane MacAllister, she decides to throw caution to the wind and take the police detective for a ride. Too bad she can’t get him out of her head… or her life.

Will Shane and Megan be bound together by true love? Or will past loves and tragedy tear them apart?

Excerpt

Using

the pearls, I pulled her over to the dining room table. My hands on her waist

helped her up on the table where I positioned her on her knees with her back

facing me. The only thing she wore besides the choker was a sexy pair of heels

that I made her put on before we started. The loop of pearls rested in her ass

crack and the heels of the shoes pressed into the curves of her ass. She was

quite simply perfection. I could have stared at her posed like this for hours.

Pulling

on the pearls her head came back, giving me perfect access to her neck. I ran

my tongue along her skin, feeling goose bumps form on the flesh.

“Do

you like being at my mercy?” My voice was low and full of lust. I loved that she

had this effect on me.

“Yes,”

she whispered.

“Touch

yourself, Megan. Rub that clit for me.”

She

immediately obeyed. Her breath hitched when I pinched her nipples hard at the

same time I bit down on the section of skin where her neck and shoulder met.

“Are

you wet?” I continued to roll her nipples between my thumb and forefinger.

“Yes,”

she answered after several long seconds.

“Show

me how wet. Dip your finger inside and then bring it to my lips.”

She

dutifully obeyed, rubbing her slick digit across my bottom lip before I sucked

it into my mouth. Releasing her finger, I instructed her to go back to touching

herself. Grabbing a bottle of lube from my jacket pocket, I poured it down her

ass crack. Her body trembled as my finger teased her puckered hole before

slipping past the ring of muscles. I moved it in and out at a slow pace.

“You’re

beautiful. Do you know that?”

Her

only answer was for her head to fall forward and a ragged breath to leave her

lungs.

“One

day I’m going to fuck you here. You like that idea. I can tell.”

She

nodded, so I picked up the pace and continued talking low to her. “Tell me how

bad you want my cock right now. How bad you want me to fuck you. Make me crazy,

buttercup. Make me want to tear you in two.”

Jennie’s 5+ Star Review!

Oh wow! Where do I even begin? Jessica Ingro has done it again and this is her best one yet! Bound in Blue is book #3 in the Love Square series, however you can read it as a standalone and you will enjoy it just the same. (But trust me when I say the series is amazing as a whole!) It’s a love story filled with just the right amount of emotion, humor, angst and hotness to make it an incredible read.

One of my favorite things about Jessica Ingro’s writing style is her ability to write detailed descriptions that give readers a clear picture in their head of everything that is happening in a given scene. Whether she is describing the characters, their location or what is going on around them, she allows her readers feel like they are there, like they are a part of the story. I have always loved this trait in all her stories and Bound in Blue is no exception. She is equally gifted when it comes to conveying her characters’ emotions. Shane “Mack” MacAllister and Megan Huntley go through a lot in this story; it is truly an emotional roller coaster from beginning to end. From the very first page, I could feel everything they were going through, and it all felt so real. Their story is quite a ride. At times I wanted to scream at both of them. I may have wanted to scream at Jessica Ingro for putting me through it, but it was so worth every second I spent with these characters. They became a part of me.

Another reason I am such a huge Jessica Ingro fan is that she knows how to write HOT scenes, and Bound in Blue has many of them! Mack is a sexy alpha male who enjoys a bit of kink. These were some of the hottest scenes I’ve read in a while; I think Jessica outdid herself this time around. The chemistry between Mack and Megan is just incredible and again, it’s the writing that makes it all come alive.

Bound in Blue is a story not to be missed. While I am a huge fan of Jessica Ingro and have loved every single one of her books to date, I truly believe this is her best work yet. I highly recommend this book and encourage you all to fall in love (and lust) with Mack! Thank you Jessica for bringing this story to life!

Teaser

Excerpt

Standing

at the bar, I flagged down the bartender and ordered two beers. Waiting for my

change, I jumped when warm breath danced against the skin of my neck. “Tell

your friend you’re leaving. I want

you naked and lying on your bed in exactly thirty minutes.” The word friend was

said like it tasted bad.

“And

if I say no?” The words came out breathlessly as my body tingled with

anticipation.

“Punishment.”

A full body shiver worked through me. One word, highly effective.

“I

can’t waste my beer,” I argued.

Mack

positioned his hands on either side of my body and leaned into my back, getting

as close as he could to me. My belly pressed into the bar, and I thought he

might kiss me, but after several seconds he plucked a bottle from in front of

me. “Now you have no excuse.” I jumped when he landed a smack on my butt, and

then I was watching his back saunter away with my beer.

Still

reeling from what just happened, I shook my head and followed him to the

backroom. The whole way I argued with myself over whether or not I was going to

do as he said. On the one hand, I really wanted my fix of him. It was one of

the reasons I had come out tonight. Okay, it was actually the reason. On the other hand, I hadn’t seen John in a really long

time, and I didn’t like the idea of Mack making me leave when he wanted me to.

And the threat of punishment wasn’t so much of a deterrent, but rather

compelled me to want to disobey him.

Mack

was lowering himself in a seat next to Kara when I hit the room. My heart

skipped a beat at how good he looked. His tight white t-shirt stretched across

his chest, and his long legs were clad with worn blue jeans. He leaned back in

the chair and stretched his leg out in front of him, crossing them at the

ankle. He looked casual and laidback, but his eyes were avidly watching me with

an attentiveness that until that point I’d only seen him use in the bedroom. It

was enough to convince me to leave.

“Didn’t

you get yourself one?” John asked when I handed him his beer.

“Nah.

Got called into work. I’m off on Sunday if you want to come over for dinner.

I’ll make sauce.”

His

grin was infectious and I found myself smiling even though my insides were

knotted after my conversation with Mack. “I could never pass up your sauce.

I’ll bring a bottle of wine.” John leaned in and kissed my cheek. “I’m glad I

ran into you. I was afraid after all this time away you just didn’t want to see

me anymore.” Even though his tone was joking, I knew he meant the words. After

our history, I couldn’t blame him for being concerned.

“Never,”

I said with conviction. “I really have to go. I’ll see you Sunday.”

“Sunday.”

I

turned on my heel and pushed through the crowd towards the exit. Looking over

my shoulder, my eyes met Mack’s and I swear I felt his gaze straight down to my toes.

RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 15th

SYNOPSIS:
Love Grows in Alaska by Michelle Lynn 
Being the oldest
Washington Triplet hasn’t been easy for Marisa Washington. Labeled the “good
one” at a young age embedded the burden she strived to build true. She
graduated at the top of her class, never caused her parents trouble, and even
settled down in their hometown of Chicago with her college boyfriend.

Her life was “perfect”, at least in the eyes of others. But when her mom
unexpectedly dies, Marisa’s eyes open for the first time. She leaves her
boyfriend of four years and takes a job in Alaska to gain the freedom and
individuality she’s craved. After all, what would she gain by sticking around
Chicago? She discovered her perfect family isn’t so perfect, and everyone she
cares for left her.

Starting a new life in Anchorage, Alaska, she’s unable to escape her family’s
hold when her dad’s wedding announcement comes a mere six months after her
mother’s death. Attempts to contact her sisters, in order to face this
together, are unsuccessful, leaving her feeling even more alone.

Her family issues have to be pushed aside when her employer sends her and three
others to a team building retreat in King’s Gate. It’s the last thing Marisa
wants to do, until everywhere she turns, she finds…Zach Greer.

EXCERPT:

A hand wraps gently around my
wrist, stopping me from moving forward. “Marisa Washington?” I freeze at the
deep voice I only heard hours ago. Forcing my eyes to look up, my stomach flips
when they find the gorgeous Zach Greer standing in front of me.

“Zach,” I murmur and then I try to
compose myself as much as possible. As my body thaws slightly from the shock of
seeing him again, I feel his fingertips rubbing back and forth along the inside
of my wrist. It’s calming and comforting instead of creepy like it should be.
I’ve met him twice and his touch doesn’t bother me a bit, whereas if Pete’s
hand brushes along mine, I swipe it back like he’s a mosquito.

He smiles down to me and I notice
there’s no sign of surprise in those blue hues. “Why am I the only one
surprised here?” I ask him, tilting my head to the side and a billowing easy
going laugh erupts from his mouth.

“You caught me. I figured I may
run into you,” he admits and my eyes must give away my hesitation that it
hasn’t been a coincidence running into one another again. “I mean King’s Gate
isn’t huge and I fly a lot of the tour customers to their destinations. Not
that I intentionally followed you here … I didn’t know you’d stay here. I mean
I kind—” he adorably rambles. I could become accustomed to a hot guy being
nervous around me.

“It’s okay. I understand,” I
interrupt and nervously twist a strand of my long dark hair around my finger.

“So, you’re staying here?” he
asks, shoving his hands in his pockets and casually leaning against the wall.

“I’m not so sure I should tell
you,” I kid, and that mouth opens up in the most amazing smile with perfectly
white teeth. Tell me this man has a fault.

“I have ways of finding out.” He
winks and my stomach flutters at the thought that he may be attracted to me
like I am to him.

“Hmm … maybe I should make you use
those ways.” I boldly take a step to him. Not sure why this foreign cat and
prey act is coming out of me. I’ve never been one to make a move on a guy, much
less someone as out of my league as Zach Greer. Pushing off the wall, he takes
a step and my pulse quickens.

“Be careful, before you know it,
I’ll be at your hotel door.” He takes a hold of my finger and releases it from
my hair. We are chest-to-chest and my usual guarded self vanished at some point
during this impromptu meeting, because the only thing I want are his lips on
mine. To feel the warmth of his tongue with mine, his hands on my hips, drawing
me closer.

“Maybe I wouldn’t mind,” I softly
say and one side of his lips turn up as our eyes fixate on one another’s. This
current forms from him to me and I boldly wait for him to push this further. My
heart races, wanting him to entice me to do something I’ve never done, to push
me to give in to my impulses that I always deny.

“Today would be nice, Marisa,” Wes
sneers as he passes us going to the bathroom.

“Boyfriend?” Zach asks, not
stepping back from me.

“Co-worker,” I answer, admiring
those blue eyes that haunt me.

“Go to dinner, Marisa. I’ll be at
the bar when you finish so I can buy you a drink.” Then he turns on his heel
and leaves me standing there with my heart racing and a pool of moisture
between my legs. What the hell?

Synopsis

One fateful morning changes everything.

Lisbeth Anderson, the lone eyewitness of a shocking murder, believes the FBI witness protection program may be the only way for her to survive. But when a powerful explosion reduces the safe house to ashes, killing all of the FBI agents on duty, will she turn to a perfect stranger for help?

Ethan McCoy, an ex-Marine-turned-firefighter, has never really cared for any woman. He lives his life to the fullest, enjoying the bad boy stigma and cultivating a particular taste for dominant sex. Girls come and go, allowed to stay only long enough to satisfy Ethan’s wild appetite.

One morning at dawn, Ethan’s fire brigade is called to a fatal house explosion that levels the structure. When he pries open a trap door to the hidden panic room under the house, he finds a gorgeous, though disheveled brunette. Lisbeth instantly turns Ethan’s world upside down, and he’s overcome by the burning desire to protect her, no matter the consequences.

My Review

So this book is a different one for the author but man I enjoyed it! I have to say that when I started it one night the next day I wish I did not have to work so I could just read!
Lisbeth (Gloria) witnesses a horrific crime against a friend and turns states witness. She is offered protection from the FBI and the witness protection program. Sadly there is no real protection and the safe house she is in is attacked and her watcher agents are killed. Ethan and his engine team are first on scene and his presence instantly calms Lisbeth’s panic attack. When Lisbeth realizes there is someone in the FBI who compromised her location she is terrified. Ethan her new rock, however offers a plan.
Their chemistry sizzles and this romantic suspense is awesome. I love that his family and his friends are there to support him and that he protects her. This is a book to pick up for sure!
I was given a copy to read and review but I liked it so much that I have bought my own copy to re-read, which is my sign of a good book!

Dark Hope Re-release!

Claire, the Devil’s assistant, knows very little about the world she was dropped into five years ago, when she inherited her mother’s unpaid debt to the Demon King. She certainly didn’t expect to be a contender for the Fallen Queen’s throne, a target for the Druid King’s mafia, or a suspect in the murder of Junior, the Devil’s oldest hell spawn.


In a last ditch effort to save her life and get out of her deal with the Devil, she sets out to solve Junior’s murder only to be taken prisoner by the four most dangerous immortal hell spawn alive.


Not to be out done, the Pagan Queen Mab, claims Claire for entering her realm uninvited. She has an old debt to settle with her brother the Devil. Taking Claire from him after losing her years ago is just icing on the cake.


Will Claire win her freedom, and save herself from the Devil? Or be trapped by Mab forever?

Review of Beautifully Forgotten by L.A. Fiore

 
 
Title: Beautifully Forgotten
Series: Beautifully Damaged #2
Author: L.A. Fiore
 Release Date: July 29, 2014 
SYNOPSIS

Successful
restaurateur Lucien Black’s blue-green eyes and unattainable attitude drive
women wild. But his abandonment issues and criminal past have left him
emotionally closed off. When a familiar face shows up for a job interview at
his nightclub, the ache he has tried to forget tears at his heart—it’s the girl
who once healed him…and then abandoned him.
 

Darcy
MacBride still remembers Lucien’s delicate touch when they were both wildly in
love teenagers. His gorgeous eyes had soothed her hurt after she’d been dumped
off at the orphanage where Lucien lived. Darcy felt his jagged edges fit
perfectly into her own, and she’d planned to spend the rest of her life with
him—until a mysterious man warned her away. Now, fourteen years later, she’s
ready to endure the torture of Lucien’s indifference and having him as her
boss…just to be near him. But when it seems that they might finally take up
where they left off, a devastating secret buried in their past threatens to
tear them apart again.

L.A. Fiore’s story of smoldering love recaptures the tormented romance of Beautifully Damaged.

REVIEW
 

My Review of Beautifully Forgotten

I read Beautifully Damaged when it first came out. I liked it. When it was edited again and more about the other characters I was given the chance to read and review it. I liked the book the first time but really, really enjoyed it the second time. I loved Ember and Trace but I had a soft spot the whole time for Lucian. When I saw the chance to read and review his story I was all in!

The night that I read this book I wished I did not have to go to work the next day, as I stayed up reading all night. At 4:30 AM I had to give up and go to bed! I could not wait to finish when I got back up.

I was hooked on Lucian and Darcy’s story. I loved how when they reconnected that they both were on egg shells until one day Darcy stands up for herself and the actions as a young woman. I like when the female characters are not just the type of women that need to be “fixed”, but rather they can stand on their own two feet. I believe that female characters don’t HAVE to have a man, but the one they find compliments them. That is what Darcy and Lucian do for each other.

I am not a fan of spoilers but I have to tell you, that you need to read this book. Here is why:

I enjoy the authors style of writing. She keeps me captivated. There are plot twists and turns. Things that make you want to say “What?!? No Way!!” I even teared up. I enjoy that there is a lot about all of the friends in the book. The main and side characters are well developed. Add to it that the friends lives, and issues are so intertwined that the continuing lives of Ember and Trace are important and are a big part of the book. The part of me that loves to be in the world that the author created, and visiting old friends, LOVES this style of writing. I love that these men are Alpha males who when they find a woman to love they are ALL IN for always, not just for right now.
I highly recommend that you read Beautifully Damage and Beautifully Forgotten. I was given an ARC of both of them, and bought both as well. For me that is always a sign of a book well written.

 
 
 
EXCERPT
 
Lucien watched as Darcy struggled to get the printer working. Even from his distance he could hear the cursing, which made him smile. It had been a week since their relationship had taken a very pleasant turn. She was still just as feisty as he remembered and it wasn’t hard for him to recall why he had fallen for her in the first place. Their sparring was verbal foreplay and he fucking craved it. His eyes moved over her. Her body was nothing like the one he had known, with curves that his hands itched to touch. Her hair was up, though he preferred it down, and tendrils were falling out of the twist. He remembered vividly the sight of it spread out over his pillow.

He had to admit that she was still just as interesting to him as she had been at fourteen. Despite everything, she was still his Darcy—sweet, witty, and guileless, except at the moment. She looked about ready to torch the printer, so he moved to help her. As he approached, she was actually staring into the paper tray, yelling at the creatures that lived inside it.

He chuckled, which must have taken her by surprise, because she leaped backward and landed on his foot.

“Fuck!” he cursed.

“Sorry.”

He looked down at her strappy sandals with heels high enough to stake a vampire and had a vision of those legs draped over his shoulders. Instantly, he was hard.

“I was going to offer to help you. The printer can be temperamental, but now I’m bleeding out from a stab wound.”

She didn’t miss a beat. “It probably didn’t even break the skin. What is it you guys say? Rub some dirt into it.”

He eyed her shoes. “Those things should be listed as lethal weapons.”

“Hardly. There are far cheaper ways to kill someone.” She bent to stare into the printer again and Lucien took the opportunity to check out the curve of her ass in the little black skirt she wore.

“Stop checking out my ass and help me.”

Not at all repentant for getting caught staring, he replied easily, “It’s a paper jam.”

He thought he was being helpful and when she straightened slowly, he entertained the notion that she was struggling with the need to throw herself into his arms in gratitude.

One look at her face, though, and he knew he wasn’t going to be copping a feel.

“Your powers of deduction are astounding. Seriously, you should give a seminar on mastering the obvious.”

He tried not to laugh, but he lost that battle. And she responded by flaying a layer of skin off him with her sharp tongue.

“I know it’s a paper jam, Sherlock, I just can’t find it.”

“It’s usually in the back,” Lucien said as he reached for the back of the printer, his arm brushing up against her on purpose. Darcy’s inhaled breath in response had his balls tightening. He dislodged the paper and pulled it free.

He turned to her with a smug smile, which she returned with uncanny accuracy before she said, “Thanks. I almost lost my cool.”

“Almost?”

A slight smile touched her lips. “I should go restart my print job.”

“Probably, unless you can get the little men in the printer to do it.”

Brownies.”

“What?”

She laughed. “Not the baked goods, the little mischievous mystical creatures.”

“They live in my printer?”

“Maybe.” She started away, but stopped and turned to him.“Thanks.”

“Have dinner with me tonight.”

She eyed him through her lashes before she said, “You’re on.”

And then she turned and disappeared into her office.
