A playful evening spent with her Dominant was all Jade expected from a snowed-in Christmas Eve. After a year of turmoil, she's ready for pleasure. But Philip has more in store for his submissive than Christmas light bondage.
Sammi pushed the glass door open and stepped into the cool interior of the So Inked tattoo shop. His gaze went past the girl at the front desk and straight to Autumn’s empty station. Kellie turned from where she was wiping her padded table down, brows raised. “Hi.” “Hey, is Autumn here?” h...
Hannah’s arms ached. Sweat burned her eyes. The muscles in her back screamed for her to stop. But she wouldn’t quit. She couldn’t. It was dark enough now she could barely make out the glint of the crude blade. “Are you sure that’s going to work?” Christine aske...
“Wendy... Wendy, Bliss needs you to calm down.” Travis gripped the frail woman’s wrists to keep her from scratching his eyes out. The coppery scent of blood was thick in the air. Enough to make even him gag. Someone had died here not long ago, and it wasn’t the vic reporte...
Travis’ boots crunched with each step. The Nevada desert was rough terrain at the best of times. Today was not one of those. The trail had deep ruts on either side just wide enough for an ATV to fit through. Acrid smoke hung low in the air from the house fire not even a mile away. The smoke...
“You got bangs.” Her mother stopped in the archway from the kitchen to the living room. “I did.” Poppy passed her fingers through the short fringe of hair. It had been an impulse thing, and she was still getting used to it. “Honey, you don’t look well. What’s wrong?” Her mother came into the livi...
Tori peered at her reflection in her car’s visor vanity mirror. At least she didn’t look too sleep-deprived for her breakfast not-date with Emery. She hardly knew what to think about it, but she wasn’t going to miss it. Yes, it made her more than a little sad that she jumped at the slightest invi...
Gator sniffed a small patch of grass with great interest. He hated not having a yard for Gator to run around in. The house he’d lived in before and during his short-lived marriage had a decent spread that had worked for them. Someday, he’d be able to offer Gator better tha...
Scott leaned in close. Brat’s face was purple and her eyes bulged nearly out of her head. He’d imagined this moment dozens—hundreds—of times. It was so much better now that it was a reality. A few more seconds and she’d be done. Dead. Finally! Her m...
J acob left Emma dozing in her room. He cracked the door so he could check in on her without disturbing her. He couldn’t imagine the kind of torment she must be going through. She was holding it together well enough. At least she wasn’t afraid, though once the anger burned out of her ...
Through the windows behind her victim, the lights of New Orleans glittered as another Christmas drew to a close on the bayou. The drunken carousing was in full swing, but tonight it wasn’t her problem. Tonight she was just a woman with a gun and a mission she hated more th...
Why was it starting to burn worse? “Shit, shit, shit.” She backed away from the sink, holding her hand to her chest. “What are you doing?” Aiden filled the doorway. She was torn between relief at seeing him and dreading what he might say to her next. He grabbed her elbow and examined her hand. “Y...
The love that I have for you comes only once in a lifetime.Christmas only comes once a year. The love that I have for you comes only once in a lifetime. ―UNKNOWN Electric Engagement Boundaries were made to be pushed. At least that was what Carla had always believed, though at this moment she wasn...
Andrea’s smile was slippery, hard to hold in place. It was only skin deep. Could Zain tell? She’d held herself together pretty damn well since the ninja attack. A freaking ninja had attacked her. Her life was no longer real. This did not happen—except it did. To her. And somehow...
Wendy huddled in the back seat of yet another car. She’d lost count around the second or third. Time blurred together. She had no idea where they were, except she could still see the casinos in the distance. All she knew was that Carlos was in the trunk, safe and unhurt. What had Priscilla ...
As he nuzzled the soft mounds, she shivered and arched her back.Grasping the armrests, Brian leveraged himself to his feet, ignoring the twinge in his thigh.“Up,” he ordered.Pandora arched a brow. Gracefully, and with none of the urgency he felt, she placed her hands on the armrests where his had...
Abigail knew what knocking on death’s door felt like. She was pretty sure she’d had one foot through the door for half her life. The voices around her were foreign and unknown. The English registered, but not the words. She kept her eyes shut, testing one finger and then o...
She’d forgotten how light it was. She hauled her load of groceries and essentials into the long galley kitchen by way of the empty dining room to the right of the entry. There was almost nothing in the old house except for a few pieces of furniture Jake had taken out of storage to stage it for po...
Officers were establishing a perimeter around The Warehouse. The Buick blocked the single door entry point. He knew from attending at least part of a few bouts that there was a dock rolling door a few feet from the single entry door in the front, and one side door. Erick, Aaron and Jake flanked h...
Tamara’s legs stretched as far as she could make them with each stride. She was huffing and puffing, while Stephen glided over the sand, not even a little winded. Their towels and her tote waited just ahead of them. She focused on the towels, her mu...
