Coming Soon – CRUEL ICE Back to Blog
She’s a low-rent PI.
He’s crime royalty.
When she saves his life…she becomes his new obsession.
CRUEL ICE will be here on 1/28/25!
“You’ll need to move in with me.”
“What?”
“Move in. With me.” Was that clear enough? He thought he’d enunciated things very well. “While we are in town, you’ll stay in my hotel suite. Don’t worry, it has two bedrooms.” Unfortunately. “No one bed situation.”
“Uh, good to know.”
“And if we travel to Chicago, my estate has ample rooms.”
“Ample, right. Check.”
“Where I go, you go. And, of course, if any reporters get too curious about what’s happening and why you’re so close, we’ll just provide the handy cover story you already created for us.” 𝐻𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑜, 𝑚𝑦 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑓𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒́𝑒.
Her pink tongue swiped along her lower lip.
And his gaze became absolutely locked on her sweet mouth. 𝑂ℎ, 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠 𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑡ℎ 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒.
“Can’t we just admit that fiancée stuff was BS? Tell everyone I’m a PI? I’m sure some enterprising person will pull up my job info, anyway.”
He wondered what she would taste like.
“Uh, Declan?”
His gaze slowly rose so that he could get lost in that dark stare of hers again. “You’re going to marry me.”
Her brows rose.
“That’s the story we are telling everyone. It will allow you to move in all of my circles. To be with me at every moment. No one will think I’m just moving a junior PI into my life. But they’d buy that I was moving my new obsession in close to me.”
𝑂𝑏𝑠𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛. A slip of the tongue.
She bit her lower lip. Dammit. And his eyes were right back on her mouth. 𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑡𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑟.
She freed her lower lip. “So this is to be an…undercover mission?”
If that was what she wanted to call it. “Do you have a boyfriend who will object?” Boyfriend, lover, person who Declan needed to make vanish.
“No, I’m not involved with anyone right now.”
“You are.” Again, he held her with his stare. “You’re involved with me. Going forward, this will be our story.”
