She knew exactly what they needed. With her shoulders hunching even more, Jacqueline lifted her hands toward him. She turned them over, so that her wrists were up. “You need to arrest me.”
One of his eyebrows slowly rose. “Why would I do that?”
“Because…” She choked down the lump in her throat. “I’m a thief.” There. Said. Done.
His hands rose and curled around hers. No—around her wrists. That same crazy spark surged through her at his touch, and she wondered how she could still feel that burn when he was about to call his real FBI buddies and lock her away.
His fingers lightly caressed her skin.
“R-Remy?”
“What a coincidence,” he murmured and flashed her a killer smile. “So am I.”
Sale alert! For a limited time, ROMAN WILL FALL is on sale for just .99!
She can’t work with him.
They’ve been partners for barely a week, and Roman Smith (if that even was his real last name!) is already driving Harper Crane absolutely insane. His list of faults is a mile long. Roman is secretive, controlling, and far too sexy. Okay, the sexiness doesn’t matter. It can’t matter. What matters is that Roman never listens to orders, he is far too quiet and intense, and Harper is pretty sure that he is up to some seriously shady side business.
He isn’t supposed to want his new training partner.
Roman has spent his life in the darkness. He is far too well acquainted with evil, and working at Wilde? Well, joining the security and protection firm is supposed to be the first step to turning things around in his world. The first step to becoming someone new. But some habits are hard to shake. And Roman knows that his way too beautiful trainer, Harper, is already suspicious of him. Yeah, so…she is right to be suspicious. Until recently, he has been the bad guy in the story. His list of past deeds could give anyone nightmares. Too bad he only wants to give Harper sweet dreams.
Trouble has followed Roman.
Roman has some unfinished business from his past—in the form of deadly enemies—who have tracked him. And now those enemies have gotten the wrong idea about Harper. (Probably because Roman couldn’t keep his hands off her on a case.) They think she is Roman’s lover. They think they can use her in order to get to him. They are about to make the worst mistake of their lives.
When Roman’s enemies kidnap Harper, he drops the good guy role.
Roman races to rescue her—and they are thrown together in close confines. Intimately close. In order to fight the enemies closing in, Harper and Roman have to trust each other. They have to work together. Stay together. Except the longer they are together, the more Roman realizes just how much he wants the fiery Harper. And soon…Roman can’t imagine his life without her.
Halloween is coming…remember to treat yourself this month! 😉 And an awesome way to be treated?? With a new book!
How about another quick teaser from my upcoming romantic suspense, THE THIEF WHO LOVED ME (out on 10/25)?
“I want answers. Didn’t think they mattered, but these jerks aren’t giving up. We need a plan of attack. We need—”
