Description:
Dwayne
Gonzalez has always had a thing for the beautiful Brooke Mason, but
she married another man, had his child, and started her life without
him. Now, years and a divorce later, he’s still on the sidelines,
yet in Brooke’s and her daughter, Hailey’s life, but not in the
way he wants.
A
drug investigation brings Dwayne on the front step of Brooke’s
life. With his attention distracted, Hailey is kidnapped and engulfed
in a human trafficking ring. Dwayne marches in and toes the line
between the right side of the law, and in it, pursues his heart’s
desire.

Excerpt:
Worried
about Hailey, exhausted to the bone, and slightly swaying, Brooke
clung to Dwayne, took strength from this solid, very real protector.
She would have to be dead not to notice his firm body beneath her
fingertips, the hardness of his chest pressed to her breasts, and the
wicked, clean scent drifting from his skin. While they were no longer
hugging, but more her clinging to him, she didn’t want to turn
away, couldn’t find the power to do so. How easy would it have been
to end up with this man? She’d caught the looks he had given her
before. But that had all been in the past, a separate life for them
both.
She
had become a mother, someone who dedicated her entire being to making
sure her daughter was well-rounded, cared for, and knowingly loved.
Not only that, but she wasn’t a young pup any longer, and from the
few women she’d seen Dwayne with, his type seemed to have a list of
traits all very similar: young, perky breasts, tight asses, single,
and free of major responsibilities.
His
hand tightened on her back and she held her breath, waiting to see if
he would push her away.
Just
a few more minutes, please.
She
needed him, this close contact with another being. It had been so
damn long.
Hailey
refused to slow down to cuddle on the couch as she had once done as a
young girl. Her daughter had her own life now, one currently held in
peril, but Brooke had faith they would find her. They had to. Failure
wasn’t an option.
Dwayne
trailed his hand up her back and pressed a palm to her head, his
other arm tightening around her waist. She went with the direction,
pressed her face into his warm neck, and breathed. His skin emitted
heat rivaling the summer’s sun. She grasped the back of his suit
jacket, wishing she could be closer. He shifted their bodies, and her
aggravation spun to something else. His lips brushed her temple, and
moist air fanned across the side of her face. He hovered there. So
close, all she had to do was turn her face and take his mouth. She
knew he would let her, too.
So
near to him, starved for human contact, she wanted to get lost for a
while. She trailed her nose along his neck, took another deep breath,
and pressed closer.
He
grumbled something unintelligible, the sound coming from his chest
more than his mouth. His hand at her waist laid flat on the small of
her back and urged her closer still.
The
situation was moving fast out of control. Tendrils unraveled, but she
was helpless to stop it. This strong male held her as if she were a
treasure. He had the power and ability to make her forget everything,
to make all the stresses and danger go away.
His
hand slipped beneath the back of her shirt and made direct contact
with her skin. They both hissed and his breath pushed her hair from
her face. His cruel yet sensual mouth continued to drift in a teasing
caress across her temple. She turned her head, like molasses on a
cold day, up and toward him. Her lips tingled in anticipation,
waiting for his kiss. She brushed her mouth across the line of his
jaw, a hairsbreadth from his skin.
His
heart thudded against hers, a matching hammer between their bodies,
telling her he was just as affected. The hand at the back of her head
tightened. She trailed the caress over his cheek; his lips were right
there, centimeters away.
The
rest of their surroundings faded. She didn’t know if it was because
of this man drawing her absolute attention, or because of her
exhaustion.
She
touched the side of her mouth to his and thought she’d be prepared
for the rush of desire.
She
was so wrong.
