Excerpt

“Who’s that?”

It took a minute for her to catch the sound of approaching footsteps. Yeesh. She’d thought that she had good hearing. This man must have the ears of a bat.

“I assume that it’s Donald,” she said.

Again he stiffened, his eyes flashing with a strange glow. “Your husband?”

She shook her head. Why was he so anxious to assume she was married?

“I don’t have a husband,” she said. “Donald’s my bodyguard.”

He stepped toward her, wrapping her in the warm scent of his skin. It was rich and musky, and it sent odd tingles through the center of her body.

“Why would you need a bodyguard?” he asked.

She sucked in a deep breath, the tantalizing musk making it difficult to think.

What was wrong with her?

“My father’s a little overprotective,” she admitted in distracted tones.

He studied her with an unnerving intensity. “Is he?”

“I suppose most father’s feel the need to keep their daughters safe,” she babbled.

“He must love you very much,” he murmured.

Did he love her? It was the second time that night that Bianca found herself considering the question. And once again, she fiercely told herself that he must care for his only child. After all, he spent a fortune providing her with a comfortable home and plenty of food, plus an expensive education.

“I…yes, of course he does,” she forced herself to say.

A sudden smile curled his lips. A smile that didn’t reach his glowing eyes.

“Let’s put that to the test.”

She frowned. “What do you mean?”

“We’re taking a trip together.”

“What?” She took a hasty step back. “I’m not going anywhere with you.”

His smile widened, revealing pearly white teeth. “It wasn’t an invitation.”

Fear returned, thundering through her as she tried to scramble away.

“No.”

Moving forward, the stranger reached out to wrap his arms around her. Then, with fluid ease, he scooped her off her feet and headed toward the French doors.

My Review

I love when two great authors can corroborate together and make great books! Kayden wants to get back at the man who took very thing from him while all Simon wants to do is stay far away from the people who were supposed to support and protect him while instead causing horrible trauma. Kayden had the sweet parents while Simon's parents should have had their fates switched instead.

Kayden is a sweet good guy, while Simon is the perfect bad boy. Both are gorgeous and man oh man was it steamy. Both ladies had me cheering on the whole time and both guys have found their perfect match. And I loved every minute of it. I've also not read the other books of this series- I know I'm always two steps behind so before I go spilling any spoilers that may or may not actually BE. Spoilers, I'm going to say I'll finish this review after I've read the others lol! I wanna talk about things but I can't ruin something if I'm not sure :) 5 PANTHER PAWS!! I can't wait for the next books!

Alexandra Ivy is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. From Alexandra: “I’m not exactly sure when I fell in love with books. Probably on my mother’s knee listening to her read Dr. Seuss to me. I do remember that I was barely old enough to cross the street by myself when I discovered the delights of the local library.

Could anything be more wonderful than spending summer days surrounded by stacks of Nancy Drew mysteries? Over the years I fell in love with Victoria Holt, Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, and J.R.R. Tolkien just to name a few. I read poetry, essays, biographies, and plays. In fact, I read anything I could get my hands on.

Years later (no, I’m not admitting how many) I’m still an avid reader, and my tastes are still as varied as they were in my youth, which I suppose helps to explain why I enjoy writing regency historicals under the name of Deborah Raleigh, as well as my contemporary paranormals as Alexandra Ivy. For now that is enough to keep me busy, but who knows what the future might hold!

I do have a few other loves in my life besides reading and writing, the most important being my unbelievably patient husband, David, and my two sons, Chance and Alexander. Without their constant support and belief in me, I never could have been able to follow my dreams. They are truly my heroes.

Laura Wright is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. From Laura: “Unlike many of my peers in the writing world, I wasn’t a writer or a reader until I left high school. During my youth I was into theater, song and dance, commercials and boys. I loved romance surely, but I had never read a romance novel until my late teens. With that said, I remember the day I did like it was a moment ago – my aunt gave me the Jude Deveraux novel, Knight in Shining Armor and I couldn’t put it down until the very last word. Then I went straight to the library and got another – then another until I’d read everything she’d ever written. After that, it was McNaught, Howard, Schone, Kleypas, and the Silhouette line, Desire. I instantly loved those emotional, sexy reads, so much so that I began to carve out ideas for my own stories, themes that were unique to me and moved me. In 1997 I enrolled in UCLA extension writing classes, met my mentor and critique partners and since have never stopped writing. I was committed then and I still am now; the need to tell my own romantic stories a full on obsession. My first manuscript was rejected, and though the second one was as well the editor who’d rejected it wanted to see something else from me. I had something (note to authors; always keep working, even after you’ve sent in a proposal) and sent it right away. The day I got the call telling me Desire wanted to buy Cinderella and the Playboy was the best day of my life. That is until I married my husband, and had my two beautiful children. But I must say, writing is much like motherhood – tough, grueling, surprising, delicious and for me, a dream come true.”
