She actually gave herself a little pep talk before she knocked, which was ridiculous. So what if Gwen hates me? So what if she’s the female Jasper is pining away for? So what if she’s in charge around here? Her job is to be Jasper’s beta, and she’s not doing that. If I can...
“Hey!” her friend chirped. “Finally taking a breather from all the crazy sex?” “No, not exactly,” Ivy sighed. “Does that mean you’re having sex right now?” Kiley teased. “Kiley… no. I’m assuming this means that you haven’t seen Elijah yesterday or today.” Kiley was quiet for a beat. “Uh, no. Garr...
Jack asked, looking past the hostess stand and into the posh Japanese restaurant. “This doesn’t look like someplace you’d like, Liam.” “Because we’ve had a long, hard week, and we’re branching out to try something new, eh?” Liam said, clapping his friend on the shoulder. “...
Sunlight streamed in the window now, telling her she’d slept long and hard. Her heart was pounding, but she wasn’t afraid. That moment of terror, the second where she stepped over the edge, it was done in a second. It was hard, but after that, she and Jackson were screamin...
I’ve got you now, you red-bearded bastard!” Rhys Macaulay grunted as he adjusted his grip on the hilt of his long sword. His lip pulled back to bare his teeth as his fingers slipped a fraction of an inch, but his sparring partner didn’t miss a beat. Gabriel circled left, h...
He loosened his tie as he headed toward the L, using all his willpower to keep himself from sprinting toward the train. He’d only been in Portland for a few weeks, but the city overwhelmed him on every level. Especially at night, with all the noise and flashing lights and people darting here and ...
Aurelia Gilson stretched her long legs and yawned, slipping a fraction deeper into the lilac scented water of her bath. Curls of steam drifted from the water’s surface, and flower petals swirled about her shoulders and knees as she sunk down into the massive claw foot tub. She wiggled her toes an...
He’d managed to get his legs halfway into a pair of soft flannel pajama pants when he heard Brooke’s terrified scream. His heart thundering, Pax dragged the pants on and charged out of his suite, heading straight for his mate. He cleared the stairs between them in no time ...
She was always tired these days. Johnny, her five-year-old, looked up at her, those beautiful green eyes and long eye lashes bouncing off his chubby cheeks. Her heart overflowing with love, she gently brushed back strands of his thin, brown hair with her fingers, caressing his tender face. He was...
It took him a moment to focus his vision, but his sister’s delighted squeal rang in his ears as he sat up in his bed. Brooke flung her arms around him, making him grit his teeth at the pain in his left arm and ribs, a thousand daggers arcing through his whole body. “Don’t ...
She groaned, pulling a fluffy white pillow from where she’d held it pressed over her face, a bid to ground herself to reality. “Go away!” she shouted. She knew it was Walker, because her overwrought hormones allowed her to smell him through the door. Spicy, clean, masculine… and devastating to h...
Inside, several of the Cúram’s foot soldiers were setting up a new drop house, a place where cash and drugs could be stored while under constant armed guard. He glowered at a fresh-faced young soldier named Ned when the kid came out to grab the last unmarked moving box fro...
Marj asks, patting my arm. We’re standing in the wings of the set where Leslie 360 is filmed. Leslie Mayer herself is onstage alone, recording the opening monologue of her popular evening interview show. I’m going to be the subject of tonight’s show...
She seemed so small and fragile as he crowded her with his big body, advancing until his hips and chest pinned hers to the wall. Gabriel cradled her jaw with one hand, using his thumb to raise her chin, giving him greater access to her sweet mouth. Cassie’s lips parted und...
