<strong>About THE LAST LETTER:</strong></div>
<h3>
Beckett,</h3>
<h3>
If you’re reading this, well, you know the “last-letter” drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there were any chance you could have saved me, you would have.</h3>
<h3>
I need one thing from you: Get out of the army and get to Telluride.</h3>
<h3>
My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. It’s not fair.</h3>
<h3>
And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart. She’s going to need help.</h3>
<h3>
So if I’m gone, that means I can’t be there for Ella. I can’t help them through this. But you can. So I’m begging you, as my best friend, go take care of my sister, my family.</h3>
<h3>
Please don’t make her go through it alone.</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Ryan</h3>

<b>Review:</b></div>
<div>
<i>Very Rarely do I come away from a book with no idea what to say about it. But this book just wrecked me. I have never gotten to the end of a book and seriously wanted to hug and strangle the author at the same time. Rebecca Yarros you are a magician this book is fabulous.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>You will see on every review that you will need tissues for this book and do not take this advice lightly you will need tissues this is not a suggestion. My husband thought I was nuts crying over a book but there is just no way not to cry ( though I'll admit I didn't cry for the first half of the book and I thought something was wrong with me.)</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Beckett and Ella are an amazing couple and watching them find their way into each others heart is a wonderful ride and seriously the letter's. I mean I would have fallen in love with Beckett too after reading them.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>This may be Beckett and Ella's book but really it is all the characters book. Each and every character has a place in my heart and that's all I can say about that without potentially ruining this for all you new readers.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>I love this book and i highly recommend it.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Overall I give this 10 out of 5 this book is just that good.</i></div>

<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Ella.” It was a plea to speak, to not speak. Hell, I didn’t know anymore.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“You don’t see me like that. I totally get it.” She reached for the TV remote.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“How exactly do I see you? Please, enlighten me.” I leaned forward, stealing the remote. She’d opened this box and had better well dish it.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She huffed in annoyance. “You see me as a mom. As Colt and Maisie’s mom. And of course you do, because that’s what I am. A mom with two kids.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Well, yeah,” I said. Her motherhood—that selfless devotion she had to her kids—was one of her most attractive attributes.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She rolled her eyes with a little sigh, and the metaphorical light bulb went off in my head.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“You don’t think I want you.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She shot me a look that confirmed my guess and blushed the same crimson of her couch. “You know, you’re right. It’s late.” She faked a yawn. “Suuuuuuper late.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“I want you.” Damn, it felt so good to say the words.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Yeah, okay.” She gave me a goofy look and a thumbs-up. “Please don’t make me feel any more idiotic than I do right now.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<i><span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Yeah, enough of this bullshit.</span></i></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I pounced in one smooth motion, taking her back to the couch, sliding over her as I gathered her wrists in one hand above her head and settled between her open thighs.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<i><span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Home.</span></i></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Holy shit, you move fast.” There was no fear or rejection in her eyes, just surprise.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Not in every arena,” I promised.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Her lips parted.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Ella. I want you.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Beckett…you don’t have to.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Yeah, that soft little sigh she did was going to be my undoing.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I let go of her wrists, letting my fingers trail down her arm until I had one hand weaving my fingers into the hair at the base of her scalp and the other at the curve in her waist.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Feel this?” Then I slid forward, letting my dick stroke along the seam in her pajama pants hard enough for her to gasp at the contact. I couldn’t remember ever wanting to shred a piece of fabric so much in my life. “I’ve never wanted a woman as much as I want you.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I moved again, and her eyes slid shut as she let loose the sweetest moan.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">My dick throbbed, knowing everything I’d fantasized about for the better part of the last eight months was one decision away.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Beckett.” Her hands found my biceps, her nails digging in.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Don’t ever think that I don’t want you, because if things were different, I would have already been inside you. I would know exactly how you feel, and what you sound like, look like, when you come. I’ve thought about it at least a hundred different ways, and believe me, I’ve got a great imagination.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She rocked her hips against me, and I locked my jaw to keep from giving her exactly what her body was asking for. “Ella, you have to stop.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Why?” she asked, her lips dangerously close to mine. “What do you mean if things were different?” Her eyes flew wide. “Is this because I have kids?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“What? No. Of course not. It’s because you’re Ryan’s little sister.” Before I could do any more damage, I got the hell off her and sat back on my side of the couch.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Because…I’m Ryan’s little sister,” she repeated, scooting so she sat upright, facing me. “And you think he’d, what? Haunt you?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<i><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Three things: The letter. The cancer. The lie.</span></i></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I repeated those in my head until I was certain I could look at her and not drag her back under me.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Beckett?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“When I was growing up, if I wanted something, I took it. Immediately. I had sex at fourteen with a girl in my foster home of the moment. I opened Christmas presents early if I was lucky enough to get one, and it was usually from my social worker or some charity.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“I don’t understand.” She wrapped her arms around her knees again.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“I took it immediately because I knew if I didn’t, chances were I wouldn’t get it. It was a now-or-never kind of thing—there weren’t second chances.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Okay.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“I can’t touch you, can’t talk about it, because I’m afraid I’ll act on it.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“And why does that matter if I want you to?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Because I won’t get a second chance. And I’m crap with people, with relationships. I’ve never had one that lasted more than a month. Never loved a woman I’ve slept with. And chances are I’d do something to screw this up, because it’s not just my dick that wants you, Ella.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">That <i>O</i> popped right back onto her face, and I closed my eyes to keep from lunging across the distance and kissing her. Knowing she’d let me—that she wanted it—sent my need from a bullet to a nuclear missile.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“And when I’d screw it up, because it would happen, trust me, it would hurt Colt and Maisie, too. You’d be on your own again, because there’s no chance you’d let me hang around and help you out like Ryan asked.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“And there it is.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“There it is. You’re Ryan’s little sister.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“There were only five years between us. Not so little, you know.” She reached for the remote.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“I’m well aware.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“So if Ryan were still alive…” She shot one last look at me.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I let everything slip for a millisecond, letting her see it all in my eyes, how badly I wanted her, and not just for her body. “Everything would be different.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Everything?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Everything but the way I feel about you, which he probably would have killed me for. Where does that leave us?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“You mean besides me being a dried-up spinster and you being honor-bound to a ghost?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Something like that.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She rolled her head along the back of the couch, muttering something that sounded like a curse word under her breath. Then she sat up straight and powered on the TV with a click of her thumb. “That leaves us choosing a movie on demand. Because I’m not letting you walk out that door right now.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“You’re not?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Nope. You walk out now, you might get all weird about this and not come back. Honor is a fabulous thing, but sometimes pride can be a lot stronger, especially when you convince yourself it’s for the good of the other person.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Damn, the woman knew me.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“So movie it is,” I agreed. “Just…stay on your side of the couch.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“I wasn’t the one who crossed the center line,” she teased with a smile that got me hard all over again.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Movie chosen, we sat and watched, both of us stealing sideways glances. There was that saying…the horse out of the barn. Yeah, the horse was out of the barn, and it wasn’t going back in. Not no way. Not no how.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10.0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">That horse was running amok and screwing with my carefully constructed control.</span></div>

I lifted my arm and savored the feel of her curves, her trust. Still didn’t complain when she lay down in my arms. Hell no, I held on and memorized every second.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;">What would you do if you had a one-night stand which resulted in the most amazing sex of your life? You’d want more, right? That’s what Angela wants, too, but unfortunately, the next morning she must return to University in Australia. So, she leaves Brad a note, hoping he’d contact her. But he never does. What a jerk.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;">Five years later, having finished her degree, Angela plans to celebrate with her friends at their favourite drinking spot. However, when she enters, she’s shocked to see Brad sitting at the bar. Summoning all of her courage, she says hello, and, in an instant, the spark between them rekindles. Problem is, this time, Brad's only in Australia one more day.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Excerpt</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She reached for the bedside table to find her phone nowhere in sight. Fuck.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As carefully as she could, she jumped out of bed, looking for her clothes and her purse. Her knickers and skirt were her first find, and she quickly slid them on. Then she spotted her shirt on a chair on the other side of the room. A memory of Brad pushing her into the chair, shoving her skirt up, and diving headfirst between her thighs hit her like a tonne of bricks, making the ache return in anticipation of a repeat. He’d gone to town with his tongue and fingers like no man before and had brought her to not one, but two screaming orgasms.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shaking her head, she grabbed her shirt off the chair and pulled it on; she didn’t have time for this. There under her shirt was her purse. She yanked it off the chair and frantically searched for her phone.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pulling it out, she was aghast to see it was eight in the morning. She had set the alarm for an hour before. One look at her phone explained why the alarm hadn’t woken her. It was set to silent. Not surprisingly, there were five missed calls from Sophie. She fired off a quick text to say she was on her way, found her shoes, and then turned to face the still-sleeping Brad.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He lay on his back with the sheet draped over his waist, showing the hint of a morning wood. She wished she didn’t have to run, wished she met him months ago, and then maybe they could have gotten to know one another better.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Alas, her gap year was over, and it was time to go back to the real world and get on with becoming a responsible adult. Her parents’ words, not her own.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A square of white caught her attention, and she realised it was the standard hotel notepad. She picked it up and quickly wrote down her full name, social media links, and a brief apology then folded it and placed it on her pillow.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He’d find it there when he woke up, and then it would be up to him if he wanted to stay in touch.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One last quick glance at the bed and the decadent sight of a sexed-up Brad sleeping, and then she slipped out the door.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If she took one thing only home to Australia, it would be her memories of her night with Brad. She wasn’t some slut, and he also wasn’t her first by more than a handful, yet she could safely say he was the best she’d ever had. Even now, she felt the acute ache of a good fucking. With any luck, it would last the whole twenty-four hours home. She just had to make it to the airport on time.</span></div>

<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The Warrior Fight Club has one rule: You must be a veteran...</span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Loving her is the biggest fight of his life…</span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Home from the Marines, Noah Cortez has a secret he doesn’t want his oldest friend, Kristina Moore, to know. It kills him to push her away, especially when he’s noticing just how sexy and confident she’s become in his absence. But, angry and full of fight, he’s not the same man anymore either. Which is why Warrior Fight Club sounds so good.</span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Kristina loves teaching, but she wants more out of life. She wants Noah—the boy she’s crushed on and waited for. Except Noah is all man now—in ways both oh so good and troubling, too. Still, she wants who he’s become—every war-hardened inch. And when they finally stop fighting their attraction, it’s everything Kristina never dared hope for.</span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But Noah is secretly spiraling, and when he lashes out, it threatens what he and Kristina have found. The brotherhood of the fight club helps him confront his demons, but only Noah can convince the woman he loves that he’s finally ready to fight for everything.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Review:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Oh man I'll be the first to admit I am a fan of Laura Kaye's books. That being said she never fails to surprise me with every new book. If book one is anything to go by this series is going to be amazing and dare I say maybe even better than Hard Ink and Raven Riders.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Book one introduces us to all of the members of the Warrior Fight Club but specifically tells the story of Noah Cortez and his life long best friend Kristina Moore. this is a fabulous friends to lovers story and Noah fights it all the way but Kristina is strong enough to realise that Noah is the man for and she will find away to be with him not matter how broken he thinks he is.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The sexy times in this book are blow your mind hot but they are the perfect counter point to the fun friendly times and the hard struggles as Noah fights to find his footing. There are some excellent side characters and I can't wait to see each and every one to get the HEA.</span></i></div>

<strong>About FIGHTING FOR WHAT’S HIS (Warrior Fight Club #2, 8/7/18):</strong></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<strong>This fight club has one rule: you must be a veteran…</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<em>Resisting her only makes him want her more...</em></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Private investigator Billy Parrish is good at three things—fighting, investigating, and sex. MMA training with the other vets in the Warrior Fight Club keeps his war-borne demons at bay—mostly, and one night stands ensure no one gets too close. But then his best friend from the Army Rangers calls in a favor.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Shayna Curtis is new to town, fresh out of grad school, and full of hope for the future. With a new job starting in a month, she’s grateful when her brother arranges a place for her to stay while she apartment hunts. But she never expected her roommate to be so brooding. Or so sexy.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Billy can’t wait for Shay to leave—because the longer she’s there, the more he wants her in his bed. To stay. He can’t have her—that much he knows. But when fight club stops taking off the edge, Billy lets down his guard…and starts fighting for what’s his.</h3>

miraculously lived through the notorious Sorority Row Murders that left twenty-one

rarely arose, and each case was too individual to tie together in nice, easy
studies. It stood to reason, though, that coming out of that sorority house as
the only two survivors would send these women into one of two futures. In one,
they never saw each other and pretended the other didn’t exist rather than be
faced with the perpetual reminder of what they’d gone through.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In
the other, they realized that no one would ever know what they went through as
intimately as the other person who survived—and leaned on each other as result.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lei
was the one who finally met his gaze, and hell if her inky-dark eyes didn’t
take his breath away despite the circumstances. Clarke had pulled both women’s
photos on the way over there, but they were old—from their sorority days. Both
beautiful in their own way, though they were a study in opposites. Emma had the
sweet southern thing going for her, all blonde hair, big innocent blue eyes,
and curves that suggested southern cooking. He couldn’t tell if her soft tone
was practiced or natural, but it pricked at him every time she spoke.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lei
. . . She was something else altogether. She was petite in a way that should
have read frail but reminded him of a blade waiting to be unsheathed. There
were muscles beneath her light-brown skin, and he guessed that she’d have no
problem keeping up with the monster dog at her feet during a search. Her
straight black hair was pulled back into a no-nonsense ponytail, which left her
features in stark relief. Beautiful, but doesn’t like to draw attention to it.
Might as well have tried to hide the sky.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Yes,
she was beautiful, but he’d dealt with beautiful women before without
jeopardizing his professional persona. Dante didn’t know what it was about this
woman that called to something in him, but he had to shelve it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">He
couldn’t afford to be distracted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">She
clasped Emma’s hand but turned her body to face him more fully. “The night of
the murders, I let Travis Berkley into the Omega Delta Lambda house. We’d been
dating four months and he told me he had a surprise.” Her lips twisted. “It was
against the rules, but girls broke the rules all the time.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">He
noted her knuckles whitening where she held Emma’s hand, but her voice
maintained its steady tone. “We had sex. Approximately an hour later, something
changed. I still have problems putting it into words. Travis just . . .
shifted. It was like he’d taken off a mask and I didn’t recognize the man
beneath. He hit me. A few times.” She absentmindedly touched the little hooked
scar on her cheekbone. From Travis’s ring. “I passed out. When I woke up, he’d
barricaded my door shut and I could hear their screams.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lei’s
breath hitched, and it was almost as if she inhaled and Emma exhaled. The
blonde lifted her chin. “I was in the basement studying when it started. Finals
were coming up, and I was struggling in history and needed the extra study
time. The first sign of something wrong was Travis hauling Sarah—” She cut
herself off and flinched. “I’m sorry. It’s hard to say their names, even now.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Clarke
huffed out a breath. “You don’t have to name every single girl he killed. We know
their names. We know their stories. We just want to hear how it all went down
from your perspective.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">They
wouldn’t find anything new here. Dante knew it, and he suspected Clarke knew
it, too. These two women had told their stories countless times over the years,
and if there was information they hadn’t shared before now, he highly doubted
this would be the time it’d magically come out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Hearing
the story through their own voices was a whole hell of a lot more jarring than
reading it in the file, however.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Emma
took them through it. How Travis Berkley brought the entire house of girls into
that basement, how he was charming and terrifying and told them that he’d let
them go one by one . . . if they did exactly as he asked. It wasn’t until the
night was over and no one had come to save them that the remaining girls
realized what was happening, and even then, they were too afraid to try to
overpower him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Herd
mentality. Travis had to have known he could manipulate the whole group as long
as he got them scared and in a single place. They believed the pretty lie
because the truth was impossible to wrap their minds around.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Emma’s
voice shook. “There were still . . . ten of us left when I realized I wasn’t
getting out of that house alive—that none of the girls had gotten out alive
like he’d promised. When he took the next girl, I hid under the couch.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“None
of those girls saw you hide?” Clarke frowned. “I find that hard to believe.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“I
don’t know. I don’t . . .” She dropped her gaze as if she couldn’t bear to hold
her head up any longer. “We were in shock at that point—just sitting there,
lost in ourselves. We didn’t talk. We didn’t even look at each other. We just
sat there and . . . contemplated the fact we were going to die. I don’t know if
they even noticed I was gone. I hid until every single one of them was gone.
And he just . . . walked out.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“He
came for me. I guess it was then.” Lei didn’t shrink in on herself. She seemed
to grow taller, sit straighter. “I heard him removing the barricade and I
panicked. After listening to that all night . . .” She shook her head. “I knew
what would happen if he got back into my room, so I climbed out the window.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Clarke
went still. “I saw the list of your injuries. You had a broken arm, your knee
was so fucking swollen you shouldn’t have been able to walk, and you had
several head wounds and a handful of broken ribs on top of that. How the hell
did you climb out a window?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lei
shrugged on shoulder. “He would kill me if I didn’t. I figured falling to my
death was preferable to letting Travis have me, so I took my chances.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It
was only sheer dumb luck that it was late enough in the morning that a student
jogging past saw Lei. By the time he’d come back with help, Lei was unconscious
in the flower bed and Travis was gone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dante
sat back, going over the story again in his head. As he suspected, there was no
new information, but they’d have been remiss if they didn’t go over it one more
time. He exchanged a look with Clarke. The killings in Seattle held some key
differences. He didn’t think any of the girls had willingly let the unsub in,
and he had carved his message into their bodies when he was through.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A
message that might or might not have been meant for Travis Berkley. Hard to
believe that someone who’d gone through the trouble of researching the murders
would get the killer’s name wrong, but the alternative was that the girls’
deaths were meant as tribute to someone else. Both possibilities stretched the
realm of belief and didn’t make a damn bit of sense.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
tension in the room grew like it was a living thing, coiling and snapping
between the four of them. Once Dante and Clarke left, things would move
quickly. They had to talk to Berkley. They had to head back to Seattle to go
over things again with Detective Smith and the ME. They had to track down this
bastard before he continued with whatever plan he’d begun with those girls’
deaths.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dante,
at least, would have the comfort of motion to keep him distracted from the
scenes that he’d witnessed. Lei and Emma wouldn’t have even that. He leaned
forward, catching Lei’s attention. “We can assign a protection detail. I don’t
think you’re in any immediate danger, but if it would help ease your mind, I’ll
make some calls.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lei’s
lips quirked up at the edges, but the smile never came close to reaching her
eyes. “Dante—Agent Young—we were in immediate danger the second that asshole
singled Travis out as someone he wanted to emulate. We’re more than capable of
taking care of ourselves.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ways when he strides into her office and asks for help. She can't help
wondering if it's a legit request or just a ploy to get her into bed. Not that she'd
mind either one. After all, she likes to live on the edge too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Beckett and Samara are a fantastic, modern couple. They clash in the boardroom
and the bedroom, are total equals, and their bring-it-on spirit makes every
interaction lively and exciting — whether clothes are on or off. ... The
heart of this romance is the development of trust between Beckett and Samara,
and Robert expertly unfolds it, revealing the emotional connection on both
sides under the flash and fire of their irresistible chemistry. 4 1/2 stars.”<b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">—RT Book Reviews</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">Heaven was Samara in a
little green dress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">Beckett watched her
walk across the lobby, her mile-long legs eating up the distance with ease. That
glimpse of wildness she’d given him last night was in full effect today, her
hair a mass of black waves that seemed to curl and snap around her shoulders
with each step. Her dress fitted her like a second skin, sloping down over her
breasts, her stomach, to her hips and thighs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">But it was her dark
eyes that drew and held him. Anger and desire and something like guilt lingered
there, and she held his gaze as she stopped in front of him. “Do I meet your
expectation?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“You’re beautiful.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">She arched a single
eyebrow. “I know.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">That surprised a laugh
out of him. Beckett turned to the elevator bank and offered his elbow. The
gentlemanly move was over-the-top for their current circumstances, but he
couldn’t be this close to her without touching her. Kissing her now, here, was
a terrible damn idea, so he’d settle for the small touch. “No false modesty. I
like that.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“I think we’ve
established that I don’t operate based on what you like.” Despite her words,
amusement pulled at the edges of her lips, and she set her hand carefully on
his forearm. “Every time I think I have your number down, you surprise me. Most
guys get pissy pants if a woman doesn’t fall at their feet when they call her
beautiful.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“I’m not most guys.” He
waited for the elevator door to open and led her onto it. “You can’t fit me
into a box and write me off, Samara.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“I’m beginning to see
that.” She shook her head, her hair brushing against his shoulder. “My life
would be a whole lot easier if I could.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">He couldn’t argue that,
so he didn’t bother. Beckett took them up to the executive level. He noted the
way she studied everything, obviously filing away every bit of information she
could lay her eyes on. “What does Lydia pay you these days?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">She dropped her arm and
stepped back. “Oh no. I don’t think so.” She pointed at him. “We went over this
last night. I’m not for sale.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“It’s an innocent
question.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“It is most definitely
not an innocent question.” She looked like she wanted to take off her shoe and
throw it at his head. “I don’t care what issue you and your aunt have. I’m not
part of it. You don’t get to use me as leverage. I’m not a pawn for either of
you to sacrifice in this pissing match you have going on.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">Shame tried to take
hold, but he wouldn’t let it. Samara knew the game, no matter how much it
apparently offended her. “I’m the bad guy for trying to offer you a job, but
I’m sure you agreed to show up here solely out of the goodness of your heart.”
He pretended to think about it. “Wait, no you didn’t—which you already
admitted. You’re here because Lydia wants to do whatever it takes to sink
Morningstar. Full stop.” He motioned at the offices behind him. “Wake up,
Samara. I’m only playing the game <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">she</i>
made the rules for.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">She took in the empty
COO office on the other side of the glass wall. “She poached your employees.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“Convenient timing,
don’t you think?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“You’re not still
harping on that paranoid talk about Lydia meeting Nathaniel.” Samara hesitated
and then moved to stand in front of him. She pressed her lips together and then
very gently said, “Do you think maybe it’s a good idea for you to talk to
someone?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">Beckett jerked back.
“What?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">There was nothing but
sympathy in her dark eyes. “I’m serious, Beckett. I’ve known you a long time,
at least by reputation, and this delusion you have going isn’t like you. Is it
possible that Nathaniel’s death is hitting you harder than you realize? That
you’re fixating on Lydia instead of your own grief because it’s easier to deal
with an enemy than face the fact you can never make things right with your father?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">Every word flayed him,
cutting to the quick. Beckett gritted his teeth against the need to tell Samara
that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">she</i> was the one who wasn’t
thinking clearly. To yell. To expel some of the ugliness that had been brewing
in him for a very, very long time. “I didn’t call you here to offer you a job,
and I sure as hell don’t need a shrink.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">She stood her ground as
he advanced. Her heels put them at the same height and she still managed to
look down her nose at him. “Then why <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">did</i>
you call me here?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Because I can’t spend another moment alone without going out of my
mind.<span class="ITAL"><span style="border: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></i></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">He didn’t say it. To
admit how long it had been since he’d felt a connection with another person was
to hand Samara—Lydia—a loaded gun and invite her to point it directly at him.
He didn’t answer her verbally at all. Beckett cupped her waist and slowly
pulled her against him, giving her plenty of time to register his intentions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“Beckett.” Despair
colored her tone and she gave a desperate laugh. “What are we doing?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“I don’t know.” Using a
hand on the small of her back, he pressed her firmly against him. “I don’t want
to stop.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">Samara hesitated, but
finally placed her hands gingerly against his chest. He waited, letting her
decide. Yes or no. Push or pull. Stay or go. She hitched a breath. “I don’t
want to stop, either.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

title, The Marriage Contract, was a RITA finalist, and RT Book Reviews named it
'a compulsively readable book with just the right amount of suspense

suspense, she spends her time playing imaginary games with her children,
driving her husband batty with what-if questions, and planning for the
inevitable zombie apocalypse. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">When Keira O'Malley was a child, she used to picture her perfect wedding.
The flowers. The dress. Her husband. But nothing could have prepared her for
saying "I do" to Dmitri Romanov-cold, domineering, and always one
step ahead of everyone else in the ever-shifting power plays of New York City.
She agreed to his bargain to secure peace for her family, and she may want the
bastard more than she'd ever admit, but she'll be damned if she'll make this
marriage easy for him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">Dmitri knows better than to underestimate Keira for one second. Molten
desire smolders between them, a dangerous addiction neither can resist. But his
enemies are already on the move, and he needs every ounce of his legendary
focus and control to keep them alive. Keira could just be his secret weapon-if
she doesn't bring him to his knees first.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Excellent work Ms Robert</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">. I can't believe there's not going to be any more O'Malley books. I've never wanted a book to get to the end of a book so quickly yet simultaneously for it to never end. I loved Dimitri and Kiera. They were like mixing water and oil they don't really mix but they make the most beautiful pictures. Also as always Ms Robert gave us just enough info about the family so that we knew what was going on wiht all the other couples we love so much.</span></i></div>

Katee Robert<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="TXCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">Dmitri Romanov
didn’t permit himself to breathe a sigh of relief. This was only the first step
in a path that could potentially span years. It didn’t matter. Keira was
here—was <i>his</i>. He had time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">He watched
her look around the inside of the town car, cataloging everything with those
witchy hazel eyes of hers. The faint scent of pot filled the car, giving
evidence to what she’d been up to when he called. The woman was a mess, but
he’d known that from the moment he met her. Dmitri didn’t do projects. He
preferred to be the one holding all the cards—it allowed him to anticipate how
the people around him would act in any given situation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">He’d never
been able to anticipate Keira. Not from the moment she picked his pocket and
walked away from him as if she didn’t give a fuck about the danger he posed to
her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i><span lang="EN-US">Likely because she has a goddamn death wish</span></i><span lang="EN-US">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">He’d deal
with that, just like he’d deal with the rest of Keira’s issues. In time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">Right that moment,
time was the one thing they didn’t have. Keira’s oldest brother would be
returning to Boston within hours, and Dmitri fully intended to marry her before
Aiden realized she was gone. It was significantly more difficult to oust a wife
than it was a fiancée.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">He had Keira
now. He wasn’t going to let anyone take her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">She kicked
her feet out, propping her chunky black boots on the seat. The long line of her
bare legs drew his gaze up to her tiny sleep shorts. They were barely more than
underwear, hugging her hips and ass. Her shirt wasn’t much better, for all that
it was long-sleeved. It revealed a slice of pale stomach and was fitted enough
that he had absolutely no doubts about the fact that Keira wore no bra. Her
small breasts pressed against the fabric, and she shivered beneath the weight
of his gaze.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i><span lang="EN-US">Get control of yourself.<span class="ITAL"><span style="border: none;"><span style="border: none;"> </span></span></span></span></i><span lang="EN-US">He leaned forward and nudged her boots back to the floorboard.
Taking Keira was part of the plan—fucking her in the backseat was<i> not</i>. “There’s no need for an adolescent
tantrum.”<span class="ITAL"><span style="border: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">She laughed,
the sound rough and pain filled. “God, would you listen to yourself? You just
showed up at my window to lure me into the night—to a <i>chapel</i>—and now you’re bitching about my shoes on the seats?
Russian, you have your priorities seriously out of order.” She flicked her long
hair off her shoulder. She’d dyed it a harsh blond that seemed designed to
highlight how unhealthily skinny she’d become in the last year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal;">
<i><span lang="EN-US">She’s spiraling</span></i><span lang="EN-US">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal;">
<i><span lang="EN-US">Not anymore.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="TXCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“Our current
situation is no reason to throw propriety out the window.” He sounded stuffy,
and he hated it, but with her sitting so close, wearing clothing she’d just
been sleeping in…Dmitri dragged in a breath. “Keep your shoes on the floor.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“Or what?”
She turned to face him. The move pulled her shirt even tighter against her
chest, revealing the faintest outline of her nipples. Keira saw where his gaze
went, and gave a bitter smile. “All the games, all the bullshit, and <i>that </i>hasn’t changed.” She leaned forward
and hooked his collar with her finger, drawing him closer despite himself.
“Tell me something, Romanov.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“Hmm?” He
dragged his gaze up to her mouth. The wicked curve of her lips was matched only
by the words she threw into the space between them with such abandon. The woman
wouldn’t know caution if it slapped her in the face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“You’re
dragging me to your cave to be your Bride of Frankenstein.” She shifted closer,
her bare leg sliding over his slacks until her thigh came into contact with his
cock.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">He should
move her. Set her back and explain that no matter what she thought of the
situation, <i>she </i>wasn’t in control. But
the ring he’d put on her finger winked at him, a reminder that Keira wasn’t the
sister of his enemy anymore. She was <i>his.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">Or she would
be in a few short hours.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">He bracketed
her thigh with a hand, keeping her in place, but didn’t touch her anywhere
else. There was no masking his reaction to her, not in their position. Dmitri
didn’t bother trying. “Calling me Frankenstein is more than a bit dramatic.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">She looked up
at him, her eyes holding a question he didn’t have a satisfying answer to. “I
think it’s time to stop being in denial, don’t you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">He recognized
the direction she was headed. “You know I want you. I wouldn’t be doing this if
I didn’t.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">Just like
that, the shutters slammed down on her expression. She sat back and he let her
go, watching her pull herself together. Her spine went ramrod straight, and she
stared at the back of the driver’s head rather than at Dmitri. She crossed her
arms over her chest. “No lies between us. That’s what you said. You want me,
sure, but don’t pretend any of this bullshit has to do with sex. You need to
prove what an international badass you are by marrying the sister of your
enemy. An eye for an eye—a wife and a sister. Remember?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">He knew
exactly what she was quoting. The note he’d had delivered to Aiden O’Malley
just over a year ago. <i>By my count, you
owe me both a wife and a sister. I’ll be content with one of yours.</i> He hadn’t realized Keira had seen it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">Twin possibilities spun out between them.
She was scared and vulnerable, and if he told her that it was </span><i><span lang="EN-US">her</span></i><span lang="EN-US"> he wanted and not what she
represented, she would believe him. It would even be the truth, at least in
part. He hadn’t been able to get Keira out of his head from the moment he met
her, and he’d manipulated events to ensure they reached this exact moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">Telling her that wasn’t telling her the full
truth, though. This wasn’t some great love story where he’d been pining for her
while her family kept them apart. Dmitri wanted her, yes. He craved the feeling
of her body beneath his hands, her taste on his tongue, and her smart mouth
around his cock.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">But his craving her had no real relevance in
the grand scheme of things. He needed one of the O’Malley daughters to regain
his status after the blows the family had dealt him over the last two years.
Keira was the only option left.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<i><span lang="EN-US">Liar</span></i><span lang="EN-US">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TXCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">It didn’t matter what the truth was, full or
otherwise. What mattered was ensuring Keira toed the line. He sat back, trying
to ignore the throbbing of his cock, and studied her. “You knew what this was
when you climbed out your window and stepped between me and your brother.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">She finally met his gaze, her
hazel eyes fiery in their defiance. “Yes, I did.”</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Robert learned to tell her stories at her grandpa’s knee. Her 2015 title, The
Marriage Contract, was a RITA finalist, and RT Book Reviews named it 'a
compulsively readable book with just the right amount of suspense and
tension." When not writing sexy contemporary and romantic suspense,
she spends her time playing imaginary games with her children, driving her
husband batty with what-if questions, and planning for the inevitable zombie
apocalypse. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Ex-cop Charlotte Finch used to
think there was a clear line between right and wrong. Then her fellow officers
betrayed her, and the world is no longer so black and white. Especially when
it's Aiden O'Malley, one of the most dangerous men in Boston, who offers her a
chance for justice. The only catch: she'll have to pretend to be his fiancée
for his plan to work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

anyone see the man behind the mask. To run the O'Malley empire, he has to be
cool and controlled at all times. But the moment he meets Charlie, they're
playing with fire. Her slightest touch is enough to send him over the edge. At
first their "engagement" was a way to eliminate his enemies. Now
he'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe-- even if he has to destroy his own
family to do it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Review:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<i>So I have to preface this review by saying I am huge Katee Robert fan. That being said it is my totally unbiased opinion that this is the best book in the O'Malley series so far. ;) </i><br />
<i>Aiden and Charlie are perfect together. The story is an amazing balance of sexy mixed with a good dose of my dick is bigger than yours.</i><br />
<i>Undercover Attraction also does an excellent job of checking in with the couples that have come before without it feeling forced.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I highly recommend this book 5 out of 5</i></div>

Katee Robert<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">His brows slanted down,
and then his expression cleared. “You’re worried about me? Bright eyes, you
don’t have to be.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">Either he was lying to
make her feel better or he’d missed the cold calculation in Alethea’s eyes when
she’d watched them walk out. If he didn’t dance to the tune she set, she would
have no problem killing him. She wouldn’t lose a wink of sleep at night over
it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">Charlie gripped his
hand tighter. “Promise me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“You know I can’t. I’ll
do whatever it takes to see this through, and if that means getting into
another situation like the one we just left, I won’t hesitate.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">She wanted to shake the
stubbornness right out of him. “Even if it means you don’t walk out alive?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">He started to give her
a pat answer. She saw the second he registered that she was actually scared for
<i>him</i>—not herself. The mask slipped,
and something like wonder dawned. Aiden pulled her into his lap and framed her
face with his hands. “The end justifies the means. You know that.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">She’d thought the same
thing earlier. Now she wasn’t so sure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">But he wasn’t going to
listen to her tonight. Either he hadn’t seen the danger or he was determined to
downplay it. If she kept pressing, it might mean a fight, and that was the last
thing Charlie wanted. She’d never been more aware of time flowing, a river that
she couldn’t fight. Aiden wasn’t hers. She couldn’t protect him. She didn’t
even have a real right to demand he take more precautions. She was just a woman
whose aims had lined up with his.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“Charlie—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">She kissed him. There
wasn’t anything left to say that they couldn’t communicate with their bodies.
She shifted to straddle him, the move making her dress ride up to indecent heights.
All Aiden’s careful control was gone in an instant, replaced by a frenzy that
matched her own. He slid his hands up her thighs to her hips, pushing the dress
even higher, and grabbed her ass, grinding her against him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">All her fear and anger
turned to desire, creating an inferno bound to incinerate them both. She could
care less. Charlie reached between them and undid his slacks to pull out his
cock. She palmed him. “Condom?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">He opened his mouth and
then considered. “Fuck, I don’t have any.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<i><span lang="EN-US">Damn.</span></i><span lang="EN-US"> Disappointment soured in her
stomach, but she shoved it away. “Then I guess we’ll have to get creative. I
need you inside me. I don’t care how.” She pushed away his hands and slid down
the seat to kneel between his thighs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">Or she tried to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">He caught her halfway
through the move and shook his head. “No, bright eyes.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“What?” Surely he wasn’t
rejecting a blow job? That had to break some kind of international law. It just
wasn’t done. “You’re starting to give me a complex.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">Aiden lifted her back
to his lap, this time facing away from him. The passing lights showed her
reflection in the glass separating them from the front seat. Her blue eyes were
wild, her hair tangled from his fingers, her dress in danger of slipping off
her breasts. Behind her, Aiden was barely a shadow. He moved her hair to one
side and kissed her neck. “You come first, bright eyes. Second, too, if I have
any say in it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">She licked her lips. “One
of these days, I’m going to tie you down and give you all the blow jobs I’ve
been craving.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“One of these days…” He
bracketed her throat with one hand, keeping her head tilted to the side, and
coasted the other hand up her inner thigh, spreading her legs further. “One of
these days, I’ll let you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">She nodded. “Good
answer.” The move increased the pressure of his hand against her neck, and she
squirmed, turned on far more than she should be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">His wandering hand
reached the junction between her thighs, and he parted her, idly stroking. “I
think I like that you’re worried about me.” His finger circled her clit and
away. “I like it a lot.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“Mmm.” What was she
supposed to say to that? She’d already had to face the fact that she didn’t
have the right words because she didn’t have the <i>right.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">His finger pushed into
her slowly. “I won’t be without a condom again, bright eyes. Feeling you so hot
and wet around my finger makes me crave the same around my cock.” He pumped as
idly as he’d touched her to begin with. “A woman like you could make a man
forget himself.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">It was hard to think,
with his hard body behind her, his erection pressing against her ass, and his
hand moving between her legs. She tried despite that. “Only for a while.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">“No, bright eyes. Not
just for a while.” He dragged his mouth down the line of her shoulder. “When
I’m inside you, all I can think of is you. When I’m near you, all I can think
of is getting inside you again. If you gave me half a chance, I’d be buried to
the hilt right now, condom be damned. That’s <i>crazy.</i>”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US">She rocked against his
hand, letting her head fall back to rest on his shoulder. He let go of her
throat. The only warning she got was his thumb brushing her sternum and then he
pushed down her dress, baring her breasts completely. Aiden cursed. “Next time
you forget such a vital part of your wardrobe, the moment I find out, I’m going

<i><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #222222;">New York Times </span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #222222;">and USA TODAY bestselling author Katee
Robert learned to tell her stories at her grandpa’s knee. Her 2015 title, The
Marriage Contract, was a RITA finalist, and RT Book Reviews named it 'a
compulsively readable book with just the right amount of suspense and
tension." When not writing sexy contemporary and romantic suspense,
she spends her time playing imaginary games with her children, driving her
husband batty with what-if questions, and planning for the inevitable zombie
apocalypse. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Nothing could make me leave my family alone for Christmas—except maybe my father-in-law. I swore to Carrie I’d make it home in time, and I’m keeping that promise. One way or another…
I’ll be home for Christmas.
Some promises can’t be kept, and sometimes things just don’t work out. Finn is my world, my life. But when my worst nightmares come true, I’m faced with the impossible truth. Without him…
I'm lost.

<b>Review:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<i>This was a lovely catch up of these two favourite characters as well as their friends and family. It was a quick read but it had all of the elements of a great page turner. NO one wants to be away from their family at Christmas but sometimes the universe has other plans.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Nice Christmas read. 4 out of 5</i><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Ex-cop Charlotte Finch used to think there was a
clear line between right and wrong. Then her fellow officers betrayed her, and
the world is no longer so black and white. Especially when it's Aiden O'Malley,
one of the most dangerous men in Boston, who offers her a chance for justice.
The only catch: she'll have to pretend to be his fiancée for his plan to work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Aiden can't afford to let anyone see the man behind
the mask. To run the O'Malley empire, he has to be cool and controlled at all
times. But the moment he meets Charlie, they're playing with fire. Her
slightest touch is enough to send him over the edge. At first their
"engagement" was a way to eliminate his enemies. Now he'll do
whatever it takes to keep her safe-- even if he has to destroy his own family
to do it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“Let’s get one thing clear—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“<i>One</i>
thing? I have a goddamn list.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
He bracketed her throat, putting just
enough pressure there to stop her words. “Did you change your mind?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
She narrowed her eyes but didn’t try to
pretend she had no idea what he was talking about. “You play your game your
way. I’ll play it mine.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
Disobedient and willful to the very end.
He couldn’t decide if she was trying to provoke a response or if she was just
that opposed to being locked down in any way. In the end, it didn’t matter. “I
should bend you over this counter and fuck you into submission.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“Don’t think for a second it would
work.” Charlie rolled her eyes. “And beyond that, we’re already going to be
late, so unless you’re looking for a quickie, fucking me in any way is out of
the question.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
The irrational side of him, which always
seemed to come into play around her, rose to demand he throw caution to the
wind and prove her wrong. He reined it in, but only barely. Every time she
pushed him, intentionally or not, he slid a little closer to the edge. It was
only a matter of time before he went over—and took her with him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
Aiden let go of her and stepped back. He
didn’t like the confusion on her face—or the flicker of hurt that rose as he
moved to the dresser across the room. For all her spikes, there was something
fragile about Charlie, and he’d have to be a special kind of bastard to want to
shatter her, no matter who her father was.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
He opened the drawer at the bottom that
had been empty until a week ago. “Take off your panties.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“I’m sorry, what?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
He gave her a look. “You heard me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“I’m waiting for you to explain.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
Aiden shook his head slowly. “There
aren’t two separate games—there’s only <i>my
</i>game. Either play along or deal with the consequences.” He picked an item
out of the drawer and held it up. “Here’s your first punishment.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“I didn’t do anything wrong.” But her
eyes lit with interest at the small blue vibe in his hand.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
He motioned her forward, giving her
plenty of time to tell him to go to hell.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
But she didn’t.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
Charlie moved to stand directly in front
of him. He lifted her dress to the tops of her thighs, bunching the shimmering
fabric. “Hold this,” he ordered.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“You are aggravating in the extreme.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“So I’ve been told.” He pulled her
panties down to her thighs. It was tempting to kiss her there, but he forced
himself to stay on task. Aiden held the small vibe against her clit as he
shifted the lace back into place. It took a few seconds to maneuver it to
exactly where he wanted, but then he sat back on his heels. “You can let go
now.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“This is an important night, Aiden.” She
shifted, a frown on her face. “We don’t have time for your sex games to
distract me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
He pulled out his phone and brought up
the app he’d downloaded when he bought the sex toy. A flick of his finger and
her entire body tensed. Aiden didn’t bother to hide his satisfied smile. It
fell away when he touched his pocket and the little box it held. “One more
thing.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“I swear to God, I draw the line at anal
plugs, so don’t even think about it.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
That surprised a laugh out of him. What
surprised him even more was how good it felt. When was the last time he’d
laughed freely in a way that wasn’t calculated?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
Aiden couldn’t remember.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
He stood and pulled out the ring box.
“I’d go down on one knee, but that isn’t the kind of relationship we have.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“No, it’s not.” She looked a little
sick, but she held out her hand so he could slide the ring onto it. “Aiden,
it’s beautiful.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“It was my grandmother’s.” It had taken
some shady work to figure out Charlie’s ring size after he’d first met her, so
that he could get the ring resized. He hadn’t told anyone about it. Though he’d
been as sure of her as he could be of a near-stranger, he hadn’t wanted to
admit the lengths he’d gone through, in case things didn’t pan out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
If anything, she looked even more
horrified. “I can’t wear your grandmother’s ring. It’s not right.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“You have to. As oldest son and heir,
that ring rightfully belongs to my future wife. It would be more than a little
suspicious if I <i>didn’t</i> give it to
you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
She touched the massive diamond. It was
in the same setting as when his grandfather had proposed, little rubies and
garnets surrounding the diamond, to represent colors in the O’Malley crest.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
It felt a whole lot like he’d just
branded Charlie.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
It didn’t bother him nearly as much as
it should.<o:p></o:p></div>

TODAY bestselling author Katee Robert learned to tell her stories at her
grandpa’s knee. Her 2015 title, The Marriage Contract, was a RITA finalist, and
RT Book Reviews named it 'a compulsively readable book with just the
right amount of suspense and tension." When not writing
sexy contemporary and romantic suspense, she spends her time playing imaginary
games with her children, driving her husband batty with what-if questions, and
planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Some of you might remember the OUT OF LINE series (rich girl goes to college, falls for "bad boy" surfer, finds out he's not what he seems). Some of you might not (and that's okay, too, because this book can be picked up without it). Those of us who remember it, get ready to squeal because despite Jen McLaughlin saying she was done writing books for Finn and Carrie...</div>

Nothing could make me leave my family alone for Christmas—except maybe my father-in-law. I swore to Carrie I’d make it home in time, and I’m keeping that promise. One way or another…
I’ll be home for Christmas.
Some promises can’t be kept, and sometimes things just don’t work out. Finn is my world, my life. But when my worst nightmares come true, I’m faced with the impossible truth. Without him…
I'm lost.

Coming home…
I’ve hated Ben Rollins ever since he broke my heart in high school. I’ve never fully recovered from it…even though I ran away as far as I could. Now I’ve returned home, fleeing something worse than I could have ever imagined. When our Captain partners us up together, I’m forced to realize that what I feel for him isn’t hate at all. It’s far worse.
Second chances…
Sarah’s the one who got away. She never really explained her abrupt departure from my life, but to be honest, I no longer give a damn. What we’d once had was dead, and now I’m stuck with her at my side permanently, no matter how I feel about it. But when the truth comes out, and old secrets are unburied, being thrown together becomes so much more than a second chance…it becomes life or death.
And we have no intention of losing.

Will has the dirtiest mouth on him and he uses it in the best of ways. That being said the romance is great to and Teresa is swept off her feat by Will I would have been to but she keeps him on his toes too. And of course we can't forget Southpaw the star of the book.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #002f36; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #002f36; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #002f36; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">I highly recommend this read.<b> 5 out of 5</b></span></i></div>

over being caught even imagining such things. We’re at my door and I have no

all movement when Will brushes his fingertips down my arm, then trails them
back up. Slow. And all the while, he invades my space, eliminating inches at
such a leisurely pace that I’m panting by the time our mouths are a breath

hour in the bar? It won’t. I give you five minutes before you’re face down in

He stops my
admonishment with a drugging kiss, his tongue stroking in and out of my mouth.
His hands grip my elbows, lifting me up on my toes in desperate degrees,
meshing our bodies, our lips, until I’m moaning, letting him have rough
intercourse with my mouth. Just when I’m on the verge of giving in and begging
him to take me up against the door, he steps back, eyes glittering, wiping away
the moisture on his mouth with a wrist swipe. “I’ll be out on the balcony. If
you’re going to finger yourself in my honor, I want to listen.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong>About REBEL</strong></h3>
She’s Penna Carstairs.
The Renegade they call Rebel.
<em>FMX-treme Magazine</em>’s sexiest female athlete of the year.
There’s no rule in extreme sports she hasn’t broken,
No gender barrier she hasn’t demolished.
She’s the woman I met in a bar in Vegas.
The woman I illegally BASE jumped for.
The woman I spent one insane, incredible night with.
But now I’m screwed.
Or rather…not screwed.
Because the woman I can’t get out of my head is the one woman I can never touch again.
I’m Dr. Cruz Delgado—the youngest professor on this campus,
And Penelope Carstairs just walked into my class.

<strong>EXCERPT</strong></div>
“Welcome to Latin American History.”
At that deep, lightly accented voice, my pen fell to the paper, as useless as my brain.
“This class will also serve as your Study At Sea seminar, which means I have the joy of getting to know each of you very well over the next three months since you’ll be writing a thirty-page thesis for me.”
The class groaned, and I slowly dragged my eyes from the paper, past the neck of the red-haired boy in front of me, to the man who stood at the head of our class, casually leaning against his desk. I took in the way his pants hugged his hips, the contrast of his rolled white button-down against his tanned skin, and the loose green tie at his throat. My gaze caught on his lips, the strong line of his nose and cheekbones, to the melty chocolate eyes that were focused on the other side of the room as he addressed the students there. His hair looked like he’d run his hands through it more than a few times, and his teeth flashed white when he grinned, those panty-dissolving dimples appearing.
My heart stopped beating and my breath froze in my lungs, as if the slightest motion would make him disappear. A rush of heat flushed my skin, and the knot in my chest loosened, unraveling as surely as my body had the last time I’d seen him.
“So let’s get started, shall we? I just flew in from the States today, but I’ll be sure to learn all of your names by the end of the week. Now if you’ll let me have this moment, I’ve been waiting eight years to say it— My name is Dr. Delgado.”
Two thoughts slammed into me simultaneously.
One—<em>Delgado. </em>At least now I knew his last name.
Two—Holy. Fucking. Shit. Cruz was my professor.

I’m Paxton Wilder.
Motocross phenom & adrenaline junkie.
I have more tattoos than scars.
And I’ve never seen a stunt I couldn’t pull off—
Or a girl I can’t get off.
Until <em>she </em>walks in.
My new tutor is sexy, smart, more stubborn than I am, and one hundred percent off limits.
That’s right—the only rule this semester is Don’t Touch the Tutor.
For the first time in my life, I want someone I can’t have.
She’s the girl who obeys every rule.
I’m the guy who breaks them.
Our biggest risk is falling for each other,
But I live for risk…

<b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For two FBI agents
with a past, love becomes a matter of life and death in the new Hidden Sins
novel from <i>New York Times</i> and <i>USA Today</i> bestselling
author Katee Robert.</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Maggie Gaines used to
be an FBI agent—top of her class and one of the bright, up-and-coming
stars—until she spectacularly fell apart during her first high-profile case.
That was eight years ago. Now she’s a ranger at Glacier National Park, and
she’s found some measure of peace. But when the body of a murdered woman is
discovered, she must finally put the past behind her and work with the one man
she thought she’d never see again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For months, Vic
Sutherland has been hunting a killer who’s been targeting unsuspecting hikers
in national parks—and now the predator has come to Glacier. Vic knows the case
will bring him face-to-face with his former partner, yet nothing can prepare
him for seeing Maggie again after all these years, or for the memories of
passion it stirs in both of them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As the investigation
brings them closer together—and closer to the killer—Maggie and Vic fear they
have only each other to trust. But even that might not be enough to make it out
of Glacier alive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Vic’s gaze fell on his phone. Maggie’s number was now in the
contacts folder. It would be easy to dial it, just to check on her. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Except it was late, and she hadn’t asked for him to babysit her. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">He’d gone years without seeing her, and now that they were in the
same general area, it was like they were two magnets that could barely resist
the pull. He wanted to hear her voice, to sit her down and share a meal that
wasn’t military issue, to actually <i>talk</i>. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">His phone rang, which startled him so much he almost dropped it.
Vic stared at the screen for several precious seconds, wondering if he was more
tired than he’d thought, because it sure as fuck looked like Maggie was calling
him. “Sutherland.” </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">“It’s me.” </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">He sat on the edge of the bed, suddenly painfully aware that he
wore only a towel. It shouldn’t matter. She couldn’t see him, didn’t know what
he was or wasn’t wearing, but it <i>did</i> matter. “Hey, Maggie.” </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I have to apologize.” He could almost feel her soft sigh. “You
were right, and I was acting like a stubborn kid. This whole thing—the murders
in the park and having to deal with my past and you—has got me all twisted up.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Maybe it was the events of the last two days, but he was so
goddamn tired of doing the noble thing. He never put himself or his personal
shit before a case. Not once. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">He’d never wanted to before. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I twist you up?” </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">“As if you didn’t know. I had something of a crush on you when we
were partners—which I’m sure you knew after I threw myself at you—and
apparently I didn’t outgrow it as much as I thought.” </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The dimness of the room evoked an intimacy he didn’t deserve. Was
Maggie sitting in her bedroom in low light, too? He liked the picture that
made. “You have nothing to apologize for.” </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I’ve been making an ass of myself since you stepped off that
helicopter.” She shifted, the sound painfully loud in the near silence. “And
I’m doing it again, apparently. My whole point was that I’m sorry and I’ll be
professional from now on. You don’t have to worry about any breakdowns or hissy
fits.” </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 18.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">If he was smart, he’d take her apology for what it was and allow
it to move them back to solid ground. There were lives on the line and a
condensed timeline that was only going to get more condensed with each body
that popped up. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">But when Vic spoke, he didn’t move them back to firm ground. He
threw them right over the edge of the cliff. “Fuck being professional. I want
you, Maggie. Not the former FBI agent. Not the park ranger. I want <i>you</i>.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

TODAY bestselling author Katee Robert learned to tell her stories at her
grandpa’s knee. Her 2015 title, The Marriage Contract, was a RITA finalist, and
RT Book Reviews named it 'a compulsively readable book with just the
right amount of suspense and tension." When not writing
sexy contemporary and romantic suspense, she spends her time playing imaginary
games with her children, driving her husband batty with what-if questions, and
planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Late Victorian Era was both amazing
and appalling.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; text-indent: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">As
factories expanded in the cities, so did the poor arrive, hoping for a job.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Soon
the middle-class grew and began to expand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">As
more people moved to the cities, the need for homes exceeded the homes
available. Some unethical builders began building homes for the new
middle-class without proper plumbing allowing deadly gases to asphyxiate people
in their sleep and toxins in the walls and floors that could kill them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">And
for the poor, conditions became intolerable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">An
entire family would often live, sleep, and eat in a single cramped room, with a
tin tub for washing but no toilet or running water. They would have to use the
pump outside for drinking water (which was frequently contaminated) and use the
two-seater public outhouse somewhere in a two-block range to rid themselves of
the runs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There
were also open sewers they could piss in—certainly couldn’t make it smell worse.
Cholera, Dysentery, and Toxins were killing people by the hundreds, but those
in the country kept arriving, all the same. The cities were literally dying
over its sewage issues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

whom to trust is getting very hard, indeed. This may be the most trying cases
imaginable. Director Stone has gone missing and it appears Ministers of
Parliament are involved. Xavier is arrested and placed in a jail meant to kill
him, while Vic, disguised as a woman, attempts to locate the Minister of
External Affairs and ask for his help.<o:p></o:p></span></a></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The
Wasp who escaped punishment for her attempts to murder her bigamist husband’s
first wife last year is back. Vic discovers love letters between Ben, their
terrible secretary, and the Wasp. Worse yet, he shared Xavier’s financial advice
with the Wasp, making her and her husband very wealthy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">With
Stone missing, and Barns and Meyers stretched to their limits, Vic decides it’s
time to train more of the Scotland Yard officers in intuitive and deductive
reasoning. While only half the class makes it through her two-day course,
everyone is pleased with her results. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Okay so I will be the first to admit I am a huge fan of Liza's Xavier and Vic Series. Having read the entire series more than once. That being said I am always pleasantly surprised that with each book the series just gets better and better. </span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">The wonderful mysteries that I never manage to solve before the characters do are what keep you turning the ages. Then there's the lovely relationships between all of the characters. Whether it is father son, brother sister, or husband and wife. Reading these books is like getting to catch up with family you haven't seen in a while then remembering at the end why you love them so much. </span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">If you haven't read the books before this one I highly recommend you do, you won't be sorry. Overall I give this <b>5 out of 5.</b> </span></i></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Bloody Hell!” Davy yelled. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Gregory headed to the carriage house with a severe
reprimand on his tongue. While Davy had become far more prone to bursts of
anger since they had hired a driver-in-training, bellowing curses at this early
hour of the morning was unacceptable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">He lost his scold upon the sight of Davy, on his knees
coughing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">When he approached Davy, the man waved him away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Stay back…poisonous gas…” Davy choked out before
collapsing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The air in the carriage house did smell bad and the
horses kicked at their stall doors as if wishing to escape as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Gregory hurried back to the kitchen where he found
most of his staff. He sought out Fagan and Casey. “Retrieve Davy and take the
horses out back. Do this while holding your breath! Now!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Gregory knew that with a normal staff such
instructions would have a myriad of follow up questions. But his staff was
battle ready at all times. Thus, the inexplicable order to do these actions
while holding their breath would be followed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">He hurried to his room and called Dr. Connors. “We
have an emergency. There is a foul odor in Davy’s carriage and the air in the
carriage has brought Davy to his knees. The horses are affected as well. I’ve
sent the boys in with orders to extract Davy and the horses. Can you come?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Yes, of course,” Dr. Connors assured him. “I’m not
yet dressed, but I will be there in short order.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Gregory thanked him and returned to the carriage
house. Both Davy and the horses were gone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">He hurried out the back door and found his three
drivers sitting on the grass and the horses tethered to trees. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Is everyone alright?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Davy nodded and coughed. He then reached over and
patted the back of Fagan. “He saved my life while Casey saved my Marybell.” He
met the two young men’s eyes. “I know I’ve not been friendly with either of
you, but that ends now. From now on, I’ll be your friend if you wish, and I’ll
teach you whatever you don’t already know. However, that may not be much,
because from what I’ve seen, you are both superb drivers.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Both young men grinned. Fagan held out his hand.
“Friends, then!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">By the time Davy shook it, Casey had approached and
held out his hand. “Friends for life.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Without you guys, I’m pretty sure I would have died
today.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Liza O’Connor was raised badly by feral cats,
left the South/Midwest and wandered off to find nicer people on the east coast.
There she worked for the meanest man on Wall Street, while her psychotic
husband tried to kill her three times. (So much for finding nicer people.) Then
one day she declared enough, got a better job, divorced her husband, and fell
in love with her new life where people behaved nicely. But all those bad
behaviors has given her lots of fodder for her humorous books. Please buy these
books, because otherwise, she’ll become grumpy and write troubled novels
instead. They will likely traumatize you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

“I won’t hurt you, Sloan. I promise.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
There was no logical reason for her to
trust him, but he’d been careful with her up to this point. Perhaps he’d be
careful with her with what came next. She nodded mutely, watching as he rolled
on a condom that he’d retrieved from his pocket. Her body hummed in
anticipation and trepidation, but she didn’t let it show as he moved back to
join her on the bed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
Jude palmed her between her legs, his
big fingers exploring her. It didn’t seem possible that he could spark pleasure
with a few specific touches, but it didn’t take much to have her relaxing,
letting him once again take the lead. He kissed her neck. “Feels good, huh?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“Well, I—<i>oh.</i>” Her eyes went wide when he pushed a second finger into her. It
stretched her, the feeling not entirely pleasant at first, but he merely
waited, pulsing the slightest bit, until pleasure took hold once more. She
clutched his shoulders. “Kiss me again. Please.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“You don’t have to ask twice.” He took
her mouth like he owned it—like he owned every part of her. Jude slid between
her legs, his body rubbing deliciously against hers. His hard length slid
through her wetness, creating a friction that sparked a tide of desire deep
inside her<i>. Again? I couldn’t possibly…</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
He nipped her bottom lip and then
soothed the slight ache with his tongue. “Ready?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
There was no mistaking his meaning. She
nodded. Despite the earlier orgasm and how good it felt to have him moving
against her, she was so incredibly <i>empty</i>.
Instinct had her hooking a leg around his hips and arching up to meet him,
needing more, so much more.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
Jude reached between them, and then he
was at her entrance. He kissed her, tongue twining with hers as he pushed into
her, just a single inch. It was too much and not enough and she couldn’t help
but thrash, pinned in place by his big body, overwhelmed by her helplessness and
what he was doing to her. “Jude, I—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“Shh. I’ve got you.” He rolled, taking
her with him. One second she was on her back, finding it hard to breathe, and
the next she was straddling him where he sat with his back against the
headboard.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
Sloan looked down, daunted by the sheer
size of him. “I don’t know if this is going to work. You’re too big.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">He laughed, deep and full-throated, the
sound rolling through her like the tide. “You can take every inch of me,
sunshine. I promise you that.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

TODAY bestselling author Katee Robert learned to tell her stories at her
grandpa’s knee. Her 2015 title, The Marriage Contract, was a RITA finalist, and
RT Book Reviews named it 'a compulsively readable book with just the
right amount of suspense and tension." When not writing
sexy contemporary and romantic suspense, she spends her time playing imaginary
games with her children, driving her husband batty with what-if questions, and
planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

out there *waves* Thank you so much for having me today! I’m super excited to
be here! The second book in my Wolff Securities series is now available for

wait! Nate and Macy were particularly tight-lipped during the writing of this
book but I finally managed to get them talking, lol. I’ve included a little

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;">Macy
Gibbs looked down at her shaking hands, stained red, still clutching the bloody
knife. Her gaze dropped to the man lying on the floor at her feet. His eyes
stared empty into space. Fluid oozed from the wound in his chest where his
heart should beat. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;">Her ears
began to ring, her vision dimming. They would execute her for this. In this
country, she wouldn’t get a trial. Women had very few rights here. An American
woman had none. Especially one married to an Azbak man. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;">Revulsion
turned her stomach. Married. What she’d been in was anything but a marriage. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;">The sound
of the door handle turning snapped her out of her stupor. One thought ran
through her head as she dropped the knife. <i>Run</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;">Panicked,
she spun in a circle, searching the small bedroom for an escape she knew she
wouldn’t find. She’d been locked inside this room for weeks. Had there been a
way out she would have found it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;">Her eyes
trapped on the door. Only one way out. One choice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;">To keep
fighting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;">Forcing
her legs to move she slipped behind the door just as it opened. A tall figure
moved stealthily into the darkened room, lit only by a dim lamp in the corner.
On auto-pilot, Macy struck, aiming for his jugular. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;">He ducked
her blow, his hand coming up to capture her wrist. With a forceful tug, he had
her arm pinned behind her, her back pressed to the wall and a forearm against
her throat. Not enough to hurt her, but it felt like an iron bar across her
neck. Afraid to breathe, she looked up into a pair of stunningly beautiful
green eyes. The way he stared back at her made her blood race. Direct, lethal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;">Her
vision narrowed. Warmth slid down her leg but she didn’t feel the pain of her
injury. Memories of what her bastard husband had tried to do to her filled her
head. If she hadn’t fought back…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;">“Hey,
breathe.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;">Her
attacker’s voice, low and smooth, broke through her thoughts. Macy blinked. Why
did he sound so far away when she could feel every hard inch of him?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;">The arm
on her throat loosened. She drew in a breath that made her head spin.
“American,” she whispered, fighting to remain upright. He wasn’t one of Aziz’s
men. Where were the guards? Surely, they must have heard her tussle with their
leader. Then again, they were fully aware of what went on in this room and had
not once intervened. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif;">A hand
gripped her chin, warm despite the chill in her bones. Gave her a shake. Her
eyes snapped open. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 21.6pt;">

bestselling author, Jennifer Lowery grew up reading romance novels in the back
of her math book and on the bus to school, and never wanted to be anything but
a writer. Her summers were spent sitting

bestselling author, Jennifer Lowery grew up reading romance novels in the back
of her math book and on the bus to school, and never wanted to be anything but
a writer. Her summers were spent sitting at the kitchen table with her sisters
spinning tales of romance and intrigue and always with a tall glass of ice tea
at their side. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

dream and she couldn’t be happier to share her passion with her readers. She
loves everything there is about romance. Her stories feature alpha heroes who
meet their match with strong, independent heroines. She believes that happily
ever after is only the beginning of her stories. And the road to that happy
ending is paved with action, adventure, and romance. As her characters find out
when they face danger, overcome fears, and are forced to look deep within
themselves to discover love. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">With six talented young
women, there was a great deal to research.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.6pt; margin-top: 7.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Alice is a
mathematician and scientist.</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span><span style="color: #343434; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Scientists once believed that ether was the substance
that allows light to move through the universe, just as sound needs air or
water to propagate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Earth's motion through
the ether, some physicists thought, would create a type of wind that bends
light waves the same way that wind in the atmosphere bends sound waves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">But the theory of Ether
was largely abandoned after an 1887 experiment by physicists Albert Michelson
and Edward Morley. Dubbed "the most famous failed experiment," the
test was meant to gather data on the effects of this so-called ether wind. But
the experiment showed that light propagation was not affected, suggesting ether
wind did not exist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Alice mathematically
proves that ether may exist, only it impacts gravity, rather than light.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">And quite recently the
latest theory by Starkman suggests that ether may do exactly that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In his second marriage, a marriage of true
love, Douglas Marsh has acquired six beautiful, identical daughters, who have
made a pact never to marry. All are a challenge to the strict mores and
interests that young ladies of Victorian England should have, but all are uniquely
wonderful. He strives to match his new daughters to men who can appreciate each
girl’s talents and interests. Only, one of his daughters wishes to choose for
herself, and her choice sets off repercussions that could destroy them all.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Charity returned to the men. “If I may have
your attention, please. I have two treatments for the crabs. One is the
standard treatment and the other is a new experimental treatment.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The blacksmith, with a broken leg, shook his
head. “Don’t want no one experimentin’ on me.” The other men nodded in
agreement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The smithy noticed the disappointment on
Charity’s face and tried to make matters right. “Will this experimentin’ hurt?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“Actually, the new treatment shouldn’t burn at
all, whereas the kerosene can be quite painful on the open crab bites.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Now all eight men volunteered for the new
treatment. In the end, she had them draw straws. The winners got the new
treatment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Francis <i>(the
doctor she loves)</i> was amazed at her success in turning them around. The
only way he could try new treatments was to remove the choice in the matter and
just do it without discussion. He had long ago discovered people do not like to
try new things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">When Charity placed the kerosene on the
blacksmith, he howled and cursed in pain. He stopped when he noticed tears
running down her cheeks. “I ain’t cursing at you, just the burn.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">She nodded. “I know. But you are very strong
and only the worst pain would make you cry out. It hurts me to cause you pain.
And if I were not certain that this will make you better soon, I could not
continue.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">He huffed. “It ain’t so bad, really. I just
like to curse. But seeing as how it’s upsetting you, I’ll try to put a cork in
it.” With clenched jaws and closed eyes, he remained quiet through the
remainder of his treatment. The next three men were just as stoic, even though
their pain was obvious.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">God, she was a miracle worker. The reason why
he hadn’t bothered to treat the men prior to this was because he wanted his
surgical patients more time to recover before listening to hours of howling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“Now for the experimental lotion,” she said and
moved to the fifth man.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">His body tensed, ready to suffer his pain in
silence. The moment her hand applied ointment, his mouth fell open in shock.
“That feels good!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">When she finished, he looked at the patient to
receive the treatment next. “Not only don’t it hurt, but the gnawing itch has
stopped.” He smiled at Charity. “This is a much better cure.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">She gravely met his eyes. “We won’t know until
tomorrow if it has cured you.” Motioning to the men at her left, she continued,
“I am very certain the kerosene will cure these brave men by tomorrow, but I am
not certain the lotion can kill the eggs. Your crabs could return in seven days.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The man shrugged. “I got faith in you, miss.
I’m bettin’ the treatment works.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">When she returned to Francis, he dipped his
fingers into the cream and smelled it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“Be careful, it would be poisonous if
ingested,” she warned.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“I hope it works.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“So do I.” She sighed and her shoulders
trembled. “It was hard causing the first four men so much pain.” She took hold
of Francis’ hand and carefully wiped the cream off and then washed his hand
with the soapy water in her bowl.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Her actions were incredibly erotic and he
struggled to remain focused on medical topics. “You make a very fine nurse.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">She smiled and continued her ministrations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i>Fabulously Unique</i></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>As a fan of Liza's Xavier and Vic series. Knowing this book was from the same universe I I had to read it. And boy am I glad I did.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Jora, Charity, Alice, Rose, Arial and Salese are six beautiful and talented sisters all needing a man to love them for the women that they are. But they have a secret.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>From the very beginning you get the sense that something is not quite and you keep turning page after page to try and figure it out.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>About half through I was certain I had figured out what was going on. By then I was so hooked on each sister finding her happy ever after I furiously kept turning pages wanting the story to never end.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>There are a few bumps along the way but this wonderful unique story will keep you engrossed from start to finish.</i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Liza O’Connor lives in Denville, NJ with her dog Jess. They hike in
fabulous woods every day, rain or shine, sleet or snow. Having an adventurous
nature, she learned to fly small Cessnas in NJ, hang-glide in New Zealand,
kayak in Pennsylvania, ski in New York, scuba dive with great white sharks in
Australia, dig up dinosaur bones in Montana, sky dive in Indiana, and raft a
class four river in Tasmania. She’s an avid gardener, amateur photographer, and
dabbler in watercolors and graphic arts. Yet through her entire life, her first
love has and always will be writing novels.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

O'Malley just left her entire world behind-her family, her wealth, and even her

MacNamara has no room for innocence in his life. Only revenge. Still, he's

pure, mouthwatering temptation-has <i>forbidden</i> written all over
her. Only after it's way too late does he discover the real danger: claiming
Sloan as his puts a target on her back. To protect her, Jude is willing risk
everything . . . and to hell with the consequences.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
She nearly tripped over Jude when she opened the door, and that was the
last straw. “What is your problem?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
He raised a single eyebrow, not looking perturbed in the least. “Sorry?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“No, you’re not. You’re not sorry that you turned me down last night, or
that you left in a hurry, or that you were an…an insufferable jackass this
morning.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
If anything, his eyebrow inched higher. “You’re in a mood.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“Are you <i>kidding</i> me?” She pushed at his chest, but he
didn’t even pretend she had the strength to move him. “You weren’t interested
last night, so you don’t get to waltz into the diner and <i>order </i>me to go out with you. I’ve taken orders my entire life,
and I’ll be damned before I take one from you.” The outburst left her feeling
deflated, but she clamped her mouth shut and refused to apologize. Maybe she
was being the slightest bit dramatic, but that didn’t mean she was wrong.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
Jude took a step closer, towering over her, his shoulders so broad, they
filled the doorway. “Are you done?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
Just like that, she had a whole lot more to say. “Actually—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“That was a rhetorical question, sunshine.” His big hand cupped the back
of her neck, his thumb tracing over her jaw and up to drag against her bottom
lip.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
The touch shocked her into silence.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
For a moment. “Jude—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
Apparently he wasn’t finished. “I didn’t say no last night because I
wasn’t interested. I wouldn’t have apologized—twice—if I wasn’t interested.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“But—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“You want to know the truth? The truth is that I can’t look at you without
wanting to strip you down, to run my hands over that tight little body of
yours, to spread those sweet thighs and fuck you with my tongue until you’re
screaming my name and begging for mercy.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
She swayed, her anger, her ability to think or move or talk or do
anything except stare helplessly at him, all gone. She licked her lips,
forgetting that his thumb was there, and stroked him with her tongue instead.
His chocolate eyes went even darker, and he suddenly seemed larger.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Blog">
<i>Say something</i>.<span class="ITAL"><span style="border: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“You shouldn’t say things like that.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
“It’s the fucking truth, sunshine.” He stroked her bottom lip with his
thumb, his hand gentle yet holding her in place easily. “You’re a good girl. I
don’t have to spend any time with you to know that. You deserve better than the
likes of me, even for a fuck. But that’s the difference between us. I’m not
good. I might as well be the goddamn devil as far as you’re concerned, but I’ve
never been good at walking away when I have my mind set on something. And,
sunshine, I have my mind set on <i>you.</i>”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
She couldn’t speak, couldn’t take a step, though she was at a loss if
she’d move away from or toward him. It was like he held her captive with only a
single hand, stalling out any and all reasoning ability.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
Jude’s grip tightened, ever so slightly. “I was going to take you out.
It’s not my scene, but I was willing to give it a shot. I changed my mind.” He
stepped into her, his chest lightly pressed against her breasts, his thighs
bracketing hers, his…<i>Oh my good
lord.</i> His hard length
pressed against her stomach, and it felt perfectly in proportion with the rest
of his massive body, not that she was an expert on these matters.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
His other hand came to rest on her hip, fingers bunching the fabric of
her dress as he kneaded her. “Tell me to stop, and it’s done. I’ll walk away,
and I’ll do my damnedest to leave you alone. Tell me to walk away, sunshine.
Just say the words.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
She knew he was right. He was no good for her, and this would only end
in tears on her part. The man wasn’t asking to date her. He didn’t want to get
to know her. He was telling her all the things he’d do to her body.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
But she couldn’t say the words to make him leave.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
Sloan had never taken anything for herself in her entire life. She’d
stayed in the background and gone with the flow and done everything in her
power to play least in sight. Her brothers ran off any boy remotely interested
in her, and she’d allowed it to happen. If her father had decided to move
forward on his plans to marry her off, she would have walked down the aisle to
a man of <i>his </i>choosing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
She’d never done a single selfish thing in her life until she asked
Teague to help her escape.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal;">
Until she tentatively ran her hands up Jude’s chest, sucking in her
breath at the way his muscles tensed beneath her fingers. Until she looked up
into his stormy dark eyes and said the word that would damn them both. “Stay.”<o:p></o:p></div>

TODAY bestselling author Katee Robert learned to tell her stories at her
grandpa’s knee. Her 2015 title, The Marriage Contract, was a RITA finalist, and
RT Book Reviews named it 'a compulsively readable book with just the
right amount of suspense and tension." When not writing
sexy contemporary and romantic suspense, she spends her time playing imaginary
games with her children, driving her husband batty with what-if questions, and
planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="freeText17370311431037624011" style="color: black;">Oh. My. God. Carrie Morgan can’t escape her cheating ex fiancé. She goes on her Hawaiian honeymoon fantasy vacation to prove she’s over him—but he’s there with his mistress in tow. Good thing Carrie’s annoyingly over-protective friend Blake came with her. How’s she going to prove to her ex she’s over him? Easy. One… Two… Three… She grabs Blake and kisses him.</span></div>
Blake Harris isn’t about to let anyone take advantage of his heartbroken friend Carrie. And that includes himself, even if she’s sexy as sin in that bikini. Then she kisses him—and he’s on fire. Damage done, but he can back off. Except he sees that broken look in Carrie’s eyes. No. Hell no. New plan. He intends to show her ex just what he’s thrown away.
The kisses? For show. The heat? Part of the performance. The private practice sessions? Uh-oh. Those are starting to feel a bit too real…

<span style="color: black;"><strong>Excerpt</strong></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">Carrie.</span>
<span style="color: black;">He hustled her direction, and it wasn’t until he got closer that he saw the massive pink suitcase she was fighting with was broken, and the fuzz in question was coming from her—as in the bottom piece of her dress, and she was next in line to drop off her bag.</span>
<span style="color: black;">“Jesus Christ,” he said, walking up to her. She looked up from the fight with her bag, blew a lock of hair out of her face, and scowled.</span>
<span style="color: black;">“What the hell are you doing here?” she asked. There was that sass. He’d take attitude over her tears any day.</span>
<span style="color: black;">“I could ask you the same thing,” he said.</span>
<span style="color: black;">She pointed at her suitcase. “Well, you’re the genius with the idea to go on my honeymoon alone, and since my arms get tired when I flap them longer than ten minutes, I have to take an airplane to Hawaii.”</span>
<span style="color: black;">He raised a brow, his blood igniting in that way that only Carrie could make it. That snarky tone made him want to spar with her. But he knew her well enough to know she was still hiding pain beneath the brazen attitude.</span>
<span style="color: black;">“I’m glad to see you found your sassy pants,” he said. “Maybe they’ll keep you warm under that dress.”</span>
<span style="color: black;">She rolled her eyes and Blake continued.</span>
<span style="color: black;">“I’m glad you’re going and I’m glad you’re having your adventure. But I was serious about needing a—”</span>
<span style="color: black;">“Spotter?” she cut in, using his term from earlier.</span>
<span style="color: black;">“Yes. Carrie, you going alone isn’t an option.”</span>
<span style="color: black;">“Well I’m a grown up and I’m not taking my brother. That’s weird and, oh right, I’m. A. Grown up!” she said slowly, like he was an idiot.</span>
<span style="color: black;">“Lane can’t make it,” he said frankly and watched her eyes go wide, the truth hitting her.</span>
<span style="color: black;">“Lane sent you,” she said with venom in her voice. “How did he even know I was here?”</span>
<span style="color: black;">“He didn’t, I did,” Blake corrected quickly. “After our talk and realizing you wouldn’t wait, I tracked you down here.”</span>
<span style="color: black;">“Oh right, the infamous tracker,” she said, and Blake wished she sounded more impressed. Not sure why that mattered. Maybe he could contemplate that if he wasn’t too busy staring down plump, tan skin, currently heaving out of the top of her dress.</span>
<span style="color: black;">My god she looked incredible.</span>
<span style="color: black;">But Carrie was clearly in a mood, and he couldn’t blame her. Last thing he should be doing is checking her out. Which he wasn’t. Because not only was she just left at the altar, but she was his best friends little sister. No way in hell was he thinking of her in any other way other than a lady to be protected.</span>
<span style="color: black;">Truth be told, he thought she’d be a crying mess of sad clown makeup but instead, she was huffing from the suitcase, making the tight, low cut of her dress dip even more, giving him yet another prime view of the most perfect cleavage he’d ever seen.</span>
<span style="color: black;">Kevin was an idiot to not show up for a woman like her.</span>
<span style="color: black;"><em>Stop thinking that way, she’s your buddy’s sister. </em></span>
<span style="color: black;">“Well you found me,” she said exasperated. “So you can report back that I’m fine. Bye.”</span>
<span style="color: black;">“Sorry, little girl, can’t do that.”</span>

Lou Jones loves her job, but she can’t ignore the attraction she feels for her
boss, Daniel Smith. She contacts the 1Night Stand dating service hoping a
little fantasy role play will help her get over her crush.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Daniel can’t believe his eyes, or his luck, when a misplaced letter gives him a
shocking insight into the erotic thoughts of his personal assistant. The chance
to satisfy her fantasies and make his own dreams come true is too tempting to
resist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

As they explore their every desire, Lou and Daniel find keeping reality at bay
is harder than they thought. Will their 1Night Stand deliver the satisfaction
Madame Eve prides herself upon, or are they just too close for comfort?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Excerpt</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Bring the file here and place it on my desk.” He settled more
comfortably into his chair, steepled his fingers beneath his chin, and admired
the sway of her lush hips. She placed the file down as instructed then folded
her hands in front of her, eyes still averted. Schooling his need with an iron
control, Daniel waited.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Her chest rose and fell, the slight hitch in her breath pressing
her breasts against the thin silk of her blouse. The tip of her tongue peeked
out, dampening her coral-pink lips, and a bolt of lust drove him from the
chair. Ignoring Lou, he strode to the door and locked it. He doubted there were
many people left in the building at that time of day on a Friday, but he
wouldn’t risk anyone interrupting them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Pacing back to the center of the room, he stopped to admire the
hourglass lines of her figure. The heels looked even better from the back.
Balancing on their slender points gave extra definition to her calf muscles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Do you know why I summoned you, Ms. Jones?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Her breath seemed to catch in her throat. Her voice barely above a
whisper, she said, “No, Mr. Smith.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“You will call me Daniel.” The visceral need for her to know who
was about to touch her surprised him. He wanted to hear his name on her lips as
she sighed, moaned, and fell apart at his command. Her head bobbed in
acquiescence, and he spoke again. “I summoned you because you canceled our
appointment this evening.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">She half-turned, seemed to catch herself, and straightened to face
the front again. A thrill of satisfaction curled in his gut. Each little act of
submission from her proved sexy as hell.<i> </i>“Did
you do as I requested?” he asked. Her skirt clung to her hips and ass with no
hint of a panty line, but he couldn’t be sure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Yes,” she murmured.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">A bolt of lust rocked him on his heels. He wanted to crawl on his
hands and knees and fawn at her feet, but she had been very specific in her
email—her fantasy required him to be the boss, to take control and dictate his
desires upon her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Show me.” The rasp in his voice couldn’t be helped; his body
tingled with anticipation. Her hands gripped the hem of her skirt and began to
raise it, inch by tantalizing inch. The material cleared the back of her knees,
gliding higher to reveal the lacy tops of her thigh-high stockings, the soft
expanse of her tanned thighs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h2>
<strong>About <em>Ruthless</em>: </strong></h2>
People call me Ruthless for a reason.
Whether I’m in the court room or in the bedroom, my reputation is well-earned. I’m either working hard, working out, or working my way into some woman's panties. But none of them share my particular kink, and I walk away feeling unsatisfied.
Until I met <em>her</em>.
She’s a friend of a friend, which makes her off-limits in my book. But then temptation had me by the balls and I had her up against a wall. She literally fucked my world off its axis, but it can’t happen again.
My plan was avoidance, but that got blown to shit when my firm hired her as a new junior attorney. Now I’m her boss, and I’m supposed to act like I don’t want to bend her over my desk every five minutes.
But I’ve never held myself back with anything before, so consequences be damned. It’s time to take what I want and show her how damn good it feels...to be ruthless.

<strong>Review:</strong></h2>
<i>OMG this book was hot! H O T Hot!!!!!! I mean yeah most of the Gina Maxwell's books are but this one took it up a notch as far as i'm concerned. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Ruthless and the Honey Badger are a match made in heaven. If heaven was a place full sexual tension and steamy as hell sexual relations. If you're not a fan of more than two people in a bed together some of the scenes may not be up your alley but it is not your typical menage and that is all i can say without giving too much away..</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I'll admit there were a few times I wanted to slap Ruthless up side the head for being so stupid. But his friends and the lovely Addison help point him in the right direction.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Also I am dying to see which book will be next in this series because there is at least two stories Ms Maxwell dropped clues about in this book.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Overall I give this <b>5 out of 5 </b></i><br />

<strong>About Gina Maxwell:</strong></h2>
Gina L. Maxwell is a full-time writer, wife, and mother living in the upper Midwest, despite her scathing hatred of snow and cold weather. An avid romance novel addict, she began writing as an alternate way of enjoying the romance stories she loves to read. Her debut novel, Seducing Cinderella, hit both the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists in less than four weeks, and she’s been living her newfound dream ever since.
When she’s not reading or writing steamy romance novels, she spends her time losing at Scrabble (and every other game) to her high school sweetheart, doing her best to hang out with their teenagers before they fly the coop, and dreaming about her move to sunny Florida once they do.

<strong>A Note from Laura Kaye:</strong></h3>
<h3>
<strong><em>Friends! I’m so excited to share the cover for Mastering Her Senses, the second book in my new erotic Blasphemy series! I’ve been dying to write Master Quinton since he first appeared on the page, and now he is coming your way this February. I’m also excited because the heroine, Cassia Locke, is the sister of one of the Raven Riders (Jagger Locke), so there will be some fun series crossover happening in this book, too! So, so much to love! I hope you’ll check it out and the other books in the series, too! </em></strong></h3>

12 Masters. Infinite fantasies. Welcome to Blasphemy…</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<em>He wants to dominate her senses—and her heart…</em></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Quinton Ross has always been a thrill-seeker—so it’s no surprise that he’s drawn to extremes in the bedroom and at his BDSM club, Blasphemy, where he creates sense-depriving scenarios that blow submissives’ minds. Now if he could just find one who <em>needs</em> the rush as much as him…</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
When an accident leaves Cassia Locke with a paralyzing fear of the dark, she’ll try anything to get help. Ready to fight, she knows just who to ask for help—the hard-bodied, funny-as-hell Dom she’d always crushed on—and once stood up.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Quinton is shocked and a little leery to see Cassia, but he can’t pass up the chance to dominate the alluring little sub this time. Introducing her to sensory deprivation becomes his new favorite obsession, and watching her fight fear is its own thrill. But when doubt threatens to send her running again, Quinton must find a way to master her senses—and her heart.</h3>

<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">EXCERPT:</span></b><br />
<b><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Hey
everyone! I’m super excited to share an excerpt from my upcoming Bound to
Submit, the first official book in my brand new and super hot Blasphemy series!
I’m excited about this one for so many reasons—because writing this series is
such a guilty, fun pleasure, because the heroine in this book is a kick-ass
veteran amputee, and because I love writing the brotherhood between the Doms at
this club. I hope you enjoy Blasphemy, too! So here’s a little taste of the
battle of wills coming in Bound to Submit – enjoy!</span></i></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">After five years,
Kenna Sloane stood in front of him. Only, something was different about her now.
Restrained, even. Griffin studied her for a long moment. She held her position
beautifully, as she always had, with her posture perfect and her feet spread and
her arms folded behind her back. The blond hair was different. In the year
they’d played together, he’d rarely seen it her natural color, and he grew to
enjoy the surprise of how she’d change for him, liking a butterfly ever
transforming anew. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">But that wasn’t
what was tripping his internal alarms. He focused on her face. <i>There</i>. The
cool distance in her eyes. The careful neutral of the expression. This was a
woman who’d fearlessly and sometimes brazenly worn her emotions on her sleeves.
A woman whose feelings he’d seen in her revealing eyes long before she’d voiced
them all those years ago. But now, only her mouth dropping open revealed some
little chink in her carefully crafted armor.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">She was still
stunningly beautiful, though. Breathtaking.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">“It’s good to see
you after all this time, Kenna,” he finally said in what amounted to a
monumental understatement.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Master Griffin,”
she said, her voice as cool as her expression. When had Kenna ever been so
reserved with him? <i>Since you rejected her?</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">The truth of that
launched a sinking feeling in his gut that he kept from being reflected on his
face. “Have you moved back to Baltimore or is this just a
visit?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">She frowned and
her eyes searched his, like the question had surprised her. “Oh, uh, yes. I
moved back.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I see,” he said,
letting his gaze wander. Down the slender column of her throat. Lingering on the
beautiful plunging neckline of her bodysuit. Over her long, toned legs. His
hands itched for some rope. His mind raced with the patterns he wanted to make
on her naked skin. His ears strained to hear the throaty, gasping moans she’d
release as he bound her tight and sure and irrevocably to him. The desires made
him hard for her. “Then welcome home.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Thank you, Sir,”
she said quietly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">He wanted to grab
her by the arms, shake her, embrace her. Something to elicit some of the old
passion. But he’d lost the right to expect that from her, hadn’t
he?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">So what did she
want?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">“So, did you
want—”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Master Griffin,
can we—”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">They both chuckled
at speaking at the same time, but the awkwardness was evident in the sound of
his laugh and the expression on her face. He hated it, how out of sync they were
after once being so well matched that Griffin kicked himself every day for
letting her go. He knew how rare that was, and he hated himself for not seeing
it then. Not cherishing it, as he should’ve.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Kenna, are you
here to talk or play tonight?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Both, Sir,” she
whispered.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">He tilted his
head. “And, were you hoping to do those things with me?” He couldn’t assume, not
after everything. But his body was like a rope pulled taut in anticipation of
her answer.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">She licked her
lips, and Griffin felt it everywhere, because the simple action revealed that
she wasn’t as unaffected as she was putting on. “Yes, Sir. If you’re available.
And, uh—” Her shoulder moved in a tiny nervous shrug.
“—interested.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Relief and heat
flooded through his veins. Kenna Sloane was here for him, after all this time.
He leaned in and put his face next to hers, his mouth near her ear. “Oh, little
Kenna, I’m fucking interested, all right.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">The goosebumps
that sprung up on her face where their skin touched felt like victory. She
wasn’t unaffected at all. But he’d let her have this reserve. For
now.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">He pulled back and
nailed her with a stare. “Now, let’s go have that talk.”</span></div>
