THE NAUTI CHRONICLES
53·leighToo weak to resist young Kelly Benton's attempts at seduction, Rowdy Mackay left home eight years ago. Duty as a U.S. Marine put a safe distance between Rowdy and the nubile Kentucky vixen with persuasive desires of her own. Now, he's returned home, his fantasies fueled, ready to engage the young woman in the kind of erotic games that have earned him and his two cousins Nauti-boy reputations in three counties.

BOUND BY HEART
10·leighBound by love. Driven by desire. The couples in the Bound Hearts series must give in to sin if they are to save each other from the pasts that haunt them--and strengthen the ties that bind them.
CHRISTMAS HEAT
28·leighThey were created, they weren't born. They were trained, they weren't raised. They were taught to kill, and now they'll use their training to ensure their freedom. They are breeds. Genetically altered with the DNA of the predators of the earth. The wolf, the lion, the cougar, the Bengal tiger; the killers of the world. They were to be the weapons of a fanatical society intent on building its own personal army. Until the world learned of their existence. Until the council lost control of their creations, and their creations began to change the world. Now they're loose. Banding together, creating their own communities, their own society, and their own safety, and fighting to hide the one secret that could destroy them. The secret of mating heat. The chemical, biological, emotional reaction of one breed to the man or woman meant to be his or hers forever. A reaction that binds physically. A reaction that alters more than just the physical responses or heightens the sensuality. Nature has turned mating heat into the breeds' Achilles' heel. It's their strength, and yet their weakness. And Mother Nature isn't finished playing yet. Man had attempted to mess with her creations. Now, she's going to show man exactly how she can refine them. Killers will become lovers, lawyers, statesmen, and heroes. And through it all they will each cleave to one mate, one heart, and create a dynasty.
TIED WITH A BOW
68·leigha haunting tale of a fallen angel. The angel came down in the long gallery of the Conciergerie prison, the notorious antechamber to the guillotine. Stone walls could not keep him out. Stench and darkness offered no deterrent. He was a child of the air, elemental, immortal, one of the First Creation. As long as he did not materialize completely, he could go anywhere. Cold seeped through the blocked grates and up from the flagstones along with the miasma of human misery. The corridor was alive with sighs and sobs and vermin. In the bloody wake of revolution, the prisons of Paris were filled to bursting with the ci-devant aristocracy and their suspected sympathizers. Few had the money or influence to secure the comforts of a private incarceration, a bed, food, firewood, perhaps a chamber pot. Cells intended for one or two prisoners held four, six, a dozen men, women, and children, packed together on the filthy straw like so many bottles of wine.
My Special Wolf
38·leighThere was Serin, arriving before him. Talen watched as his sister climbed carefully from tree to tree, maintaining a steady pace and breath. But not cautious enough, not as in control as she needed to be to avoid the Genetics Council and the soldiers they would send out to get her if they ever found out she was still alive. Serin, along with her other five "siblings," was a human/nonhuman hybrid. Biogenetically fusing Cheetah DNA with human cells, she was born a new species that the Genetics Council thought would evolve into the ideal killing machine. Talen had taken Serin and the others from the identical facilities after a fiery explosion that he believed had camouflaged their escape more than sixteen years after he and his mother had escaped from just such a lab. Since that night, they'd lived in constant fear that the Council's regular army ordered to track down Talen would eventually catch wind of their existence.
For Your Love
30·leighStreet of Happiness. Claire halted at the entrance to the secret meeting room, her eyes widening as she was compelled to remain silent and still by what she saw. She turned a blind eye to the burning pangs of guilt and the green, searing jealousy and instead stared in awe and wonder as her Cadan Gaelan, a buddy of my brother's, dropped his trousers and let out the beast in his cock. As a result, she was drooling. It was long and thick; so thick, in fact, that not even his large hand could encircle it. The head was bulbous and purple, and it dribbled pre-cum as he directed it at the enticing pussy on the floor in front of him. Bliss cast an obscene glance at Marissa Delareaux before returning her attention to the stalk of male flesh that vanished between the woman's thighs. As he started to stroke his cock inside of Marissa, she was almost yelling, but Bliss could not take her eyes from Cadan's expression.
Love Wins
225·leighTess replied, "Well, absolutely!" The answering machine's father's voice woke her up. "Girl, you better be here. Please come home—I can't take it anymore. Call me. Communication stopped. Tess blinked and breathed. She wished she could return to the warmth of the dream instead of the complete solitude she faced as she opened her eyes. She was moving towards something other than her greatest dreams in that dreadful black hole of unnameable impulses. She awoke staring at her enormous stuffed gorilla. before she left with mum. He sadly urged her to take anything to prevent nightmares, even though she was an adult. Nightmares plagued Tess. Tess often thought she should have stayed. She might select as a college freshman. Her mother needed her. Tess assumed so. She no longer knew if her mother needed her or sought to dominate her.
Enchanted love Tales
3·leighSentmar rested long ago. Aeons before Cauldaran and Covenan. The Wizard Twins and their Consorts governed the land and Magick alone. Wizard Twins and Sorceress Consorts ignored the hierarchy's most crucial duty in their pursuit of power, rank, and forgetting. That love triumphs, strength and weakness can unite, and the heart is the final battleground. Reason cannot determine power. The strongest men have limits. Power will fade without love to stoke patience and kindness above lust. It happened. When union strength mattered. From Wizard Twins to Sorceress Consort, these unions are about getting what you want. Joy is now pain. The merger of two souls and brains becomes a test of will, fuel for hatred, and frost. Years passed until Wizards and Sorceresses forgot why they had worked so hard to settle in the same lands or where their internal turmoil had begun. Sorceresses reported love in the air. Wizards craved power. Daughters were legally forced to join before birth, but sons were told to base their decision on money rather than personal beliefs. Witchcraft failed, and castles grew violent. In a last-ditch effort to cure the blind, the Sentinel Select snatched their children. The Sorceress Select's daughters, powerful, compassionate, and intuitive, were lured to Covenan. The Wizard Select gave the Wizard Twins Cauldaran's war-torn kingdoms. Because Select parents assumed their kids were smart, kind, and would eventually come around. Instead, the Cauldaran attacked the Covenan, further dividing their peoples and making it difficult to unite their magical traditions. As Secular population grew, the planet calmed, crying out for its lost children. The Select's two moons were projected to weaken. Conflict is inevitable. A wicked combination would destroy witchcraft, causing war and death.
Reliving in the Pasts
12·leighHe ruined her new white heels. He tore her sundress strap and scraped her calf, making her cry. Anna brushed her hair, frowning at the odd curls. Her hair flowed down her shoulders and back without the clip that held it at the nape of her neck. The night-blue linen dress was torn, but a tight fit over her breasts kept the sundress in place. She hated night and had painful, scratched feet. She had irrational nighttime fears as a child. She wiped her nose as more tears fell, cursing herself for being so scared. Anna was pleased she never wept. She was barefoot, angry, and crying on a lonely country road. Her question was why. She hated the pampered brat. Her father pressured her to date him since he worried she didn't like boys. She sniffled pitifully. She liked men. Men. Charlie Austin, a tiny pip, did not match her strict standards. She cursed Charlie, her parents, and all men while hobbling home on the country road. She would arrive to no one. Her parents went earlier that day for another long weekend in the mountains, leaving her alone in the house. She froze.
Fading Intentions
11·leighDev had warned him that she would not be as simple as he expected. Of course, Dev was constantly cautioning him about Tally. He snorted mockingly at that. Despite his protests, his twin had remained in the background during this phase. Lucian and Devril had both been lost since the first time they met Tally. Lucian knew his brother would have been just as helpless in the face of her haunted eyes, unique features, and sheer bravado if Lucian had chosen to make them fall in love with such a sharp-tongued little vixen. They were now in a terrible situation. And neither of them were pleased.
Erotic Shadows
85·leighThere is an old tale that even the most experienced memory has trouble recalling. A myth that has never been written down yet is forever ingrained in the minds of warriors. The tale of the Earth Mother and the Shadow. There are several legends, most of which are so mysterious that they are only mentioned in hushed voices. There are tales of a hero who was granted immortality and unfathomable strength and power by the gods. And here is the story of a daughter of the earth, whose kindness and warmth mended a warrior's heart before seeing it devastated and torn asunder by a bargain met and made for the shaky promise of victory on another day. The guardians had given this man, whose honour and heart were both courageous, unimaginable strength and power. A brave fighter endowed with sight, marked by innumerable battles, and able to live forever. His entire being is dedicated to one thing: destroying Jo Nar and his evil. A malignancy from another world, another place, one that seeks to enslave human souls and destroy all that Mother Nature has worked to create, preserve, and guard. Mother Nature made her own selection, too. A beautiful and wise daughter, her kindness could soothe the anger of a warrior. Whose supernatural abilities would benefit him in battle and help him recover from wounds. She handed the very planet to her daughter. An unknown, mysterious entity whose secrets are only hinted at. The Earth Crystal he fashioned and fashioned for her safety and his power. The earth's beating heart, entrusted to the warrior's brave soul. Power in plenty, with yearning and ardour heightened by absolute dedication. The Shadow's soul was taken, protected, and honoured by mortals and angels alike. But, the agreement was already finalised. The laws were whispered by Fate and Destiny because the moment was not yet right. Such rewards were meant to be received after the war, as a token of affection in exchange for the work already done and not in anticipation of any future struggles. Men who are truly passionate and emotionally invested are paralysed with dread by the prospect of imminent death, destruction, and conflict. A monetary settlement is required. Tragedy and violence, loss and betrayal. The memories were like chaff in the wind, the spirit suspended in limbo, the heart chained by the unknown pain. Dreams filled with screams, and thoughts filled with the intensity of whispers, are both terrifying. A brave warrior chained to someone who, despite their honest front, has a soul as dark as the depths of Hades. A woman reborn with her soul whole and her true desire revealed. A soul in search, huddled together in quiet preparation for the day of waking. And the Earth's beating heart has been returned to its guardian, unleashing unfathomable power. A lady who is honest in appearance and spirit, but whose magic, memories, and emotions have all been broken by treachery, loss, and greed, and who must now overcome these obstacles. After a long separation, the Shadow Warrior and the Mistress of the Ground Crystal will be brought back together. There will be an outpouring of power, the exposure of long-held secrets, and the confrontation of treachery with dignity and honesty. Jo Nar, you'd better watch out; the hour is nearing. Watch out, evil doers, because the truth is about to roam the earth. Awaken, you who hold the keys to power, truth, and love. Dominance in fervour, strength in honesty; a warrior conceived in anger, grief, and anguish. Touch submission, passionate existence, devoted soul. A talented woman, your moment has come. Lady of the Earth, awake! Your secrets have been revealed. Visions of crystal, blood, and death. Get some rest, sweetie, the bill has been paid.
Hidden Agendas
94·leighDIEGO FUENTES STARED INTO THE vast panorama of cliffs and ocean outside his borrowed home, and reflected on destiny. The destiny of a man and what he builds through his life, and how his legacy would be carried on. The destiny of a man born to power, but whose greatness is often diminished by those he loves. The destiny of a man determined to protect and nurture the last resource that would guide his empire into the future. At his side lay the report smuggled from the United States offices of Homeland Security. The detailed pages of reports on the men he sought. Their strengths and weaknesses, code names and locations. Their operational status and the fact that each man was part of the highly organized strike that had killed his youngest son and whore of a wife eighteen months previously.
Dangerous Games
16·leighClint had been standing there for over an hour, hiding in the dark corner, watching her, trying to watch those around her, and wondering how the hell he was going to manage to convince her to lay low for a while. Morganna was stubborn as hell, and Reno had warned him that it wouldn’t be easy to convince her to give up her nightlife. He frowned as he remembered his friend’s words. The subtle warning in Reno’s voice, the feeling that the other man suspected more than he was saying as he gave Clint the names of the clubs she frequented.
Reno,s Chance
234·leighIt wasn’t a party she wanted to go to, but Raven had promised her best friend Morganna that she would be there. Being there meant she would, of course, run into Reno. Reno, with the softest gray eyes she had ever seen, the most luscious buff body God had ever given a man. As she left the bathroom, her body washed, scrubbed, lotioned, and perfumed, she assured herself it wasn’t for Reno. But she knew better. Her body knew better. She wanted to come up with an excuse to stay home, but she knew she wouldn’t. It had been weeks since she had seen him, and she missed him.
Her Renegade Cowboy
512·leighThe song “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)” popped into Lily Donovan’s head as she leaned over the rail fence, her gaze fastened on a perfect male ass, hugged by a pair of Wranglers. From there she couldn’t help but lift her gaze higher, from the narrow waist to a wide, strong back and equally powerful shoulders that flexed against a tight T-shirt. The wide brim of his hat cast a shadow on his neck, hiding any glimpse of his hair. He’d yet to turn around, but did that really matter? The view was perfect from where she stood. “Yee-haw. Am I right?” Her companion snickered from beside her. “Who’s the new talent?”
Renegade
17·leighThe dresses were gorgeous. Mikayla Martin stood back from the finished products and rubbed at her lower back as she let a small, pleased smile curve her lips. They were the dresses that romantic dreams were made of. Miles of frothy lace, satin, silk, and chiffon. Thousands of tiny seed pearls had been hand-sewn onto each one. Love had gone into the creation of each of the three wedding gowns, and the jade bridesmaid dress had been sewn with extra attention to detail. It was her favorite color, and one of her own designs.
Fyre Brand
8·leighThe files had finally arrived. Shannon Riedel, head of the Psychic Sensory Investigations Agency stared at the computer screen with a sense of resignation. The email cover letter said it all. File contained. Information, re: The Elementals. Executive clearance required. “Computer, open file,” she commanded softly. “Executive level clearance passcode, please,” the computer asked with its hollow monotone. She typed in the first part of the code. “Pass code: Dream walker, seventh order, warrior rights. Zebra, seven of the sixth key.” The oral passcode gave her level of clearance, the typed code gave a set of number and letters unique to her. The third key was her own unique voice, combined with the infrared eye scan that suddenly activated and her thumb scan from the small pad at the side of the flat keyboard. She waited only seconds for the file to open. She felt her chest tighten in remorse when it did. Another death warrant, she wondered? There was nothing she hated worse than preparing evidence against a psychic. If they were psychic. There were three young women rumored to be Elementals, the grandchildren of Tyre, a demon whose psychic abilities had nearly destroyed the world fifty years past. If these three women truly possessed Tyre’s powers, then there wasn’t a chance in hell she could save them. The Agency would demand their execution. Unless their powers could be neutralized by the PSI agents. Which was rare. Very rare.
When Wizards Rule
73·leighOnce, so very long ago, there was peace in the lands of Sentmar. A time when Cauldaran and Covenan did not exist. A time when it was only the land of Magick, ruled by the Wizard Twins and their Consorts. But in the forgetfulness of the ages, and a search for power and standing, Wizard Twins and Sorceress Consorts forgot the first and foremost role of their hierarchy and that of their Joinings. That love must conquer the heart, that power meets and tender hearts mold, and in the joining, a union is born. Power cannot be decided by the minds of men. Even men who hold all power at their fingertips. Power will dim and eventually cease when love does not heat the embers of lust and create a fire of endurance and compassion. And so did this day come. A day when Joinings were decided by the depth of power gauged. Wizard Twins to Sorceress Consort, alliances built not on the tender emotions or the compassionate hearts, but on the less merciful basis of what can and must be gained. And what had once been pleasure became pain. What had once been seen as a mating of hearts, souls and minds became but endurance, a basis for hatred and the chill of ice. And so this time continued, until both Wizards and Sorceresses no longer remembered why they strived to live within the same lands, or that their disharmony flowed from within.
Dragon Prime
96·leigh“Alyx. I am dying.” Alyx fought within the dream, unwilling to experience the aching regret that filled his soul each time it came to him. “I cannot save you, Lady Lynn.” He brushed her tangled hair back from her face, his heart clenching, the Dragon stone at his chest heating with the sorrow of his clan. He had fought like a demon to reach the battle, to be by her side, to protect her from the dark forces he knew would go through her to reach the one she protected. She was his warrioress, his bond mate, and he would lose her now, possibly forever. On his planet his powers would have saved her. He could have drawn on the Dragon stone to heal her, to energize her life force. But this was not his planet. This was an alien world, light years away from his home. He had no power over such matters on this place called Earth. The Fates and Destiny guiding the souls here had refused him the power to act in their name. Yet, still he had tried. He had fought to make it to her side, to ride the dimensional wave to her rescue. If he could have arrived.
Menage a Magick
24·leighThe soft glow from the aura of magick that surrounded the twin moons of Sentmar was slowly dissipating. The twin rings were thinner than they had been in the entire written history of the planet. Once, thick luminous rings surrounded the moons, like pillowy circles of thick, rich cream. They were now wispy, and more transparent than ever before. The magick of the land was growing weaker by the year now, instead of by the decade. They would have to move quickly, or it would be too late. The humans would once again rule the land and they would have no mercy for their magick counterparts. Lasan stood on the upper balcony of the Veraga castle and stared into the night sky, frowning as he observed the phenomena. All that was Sentmar and magick was now threatened. All that had balanced justice and peace within their world was at stake. “We must move quickly.” Drago, his twin, stood behind him, staring at the moons as well, his voice soft, concerned. “She will not see reason, Lasan. Not until after the Joining. We can no longer afford to hesitate.”
The One
222·leighBrenna’s love for Jase has grown from a crush to a soul-searing need, a painful hunger…and an unrequited ache, because the savagely sexy Texan doesn’t feel the same. A bequest and stipulation in his father’s will have hardened Jase, it seems. Now she must endure three months of living under his roof. Three torturous, tension-filled months and Brenna will have fulfilled the stipulation; will be free to attempt to regain the heart lost to Jase so long ago. Since the age of eighteen, Jase has protected Brenna—from himself, as much as anyone else. Living with her proves too rousing even for his iron will. He’ll claim what’s his, take Brenna in ways he’d previously only dreamed, sink so deeply inside her luscious body he’ll never find his way out. And be damned if he’ll let her go. A scorching Texas summer can’t compete with blazing lust as Brenna gives in, gives over, gives all that she is to Jase, to the only man she’s every loved…to the one.
Broken Wings
4·leighIt was Dania’s screams that brought Mera awake. Shrill and resonant with pain and terror, the child’s cries had her out of the bed and rushing ahead of her husband into the family room of the aerie. She came to an abrupt, disbelieving halt just inside the doorway. Her blood thickened, congealing in terror as she saw the creatures awaiting her. In the middle of the room, grinning evilly in the flickering light of the thick candle on the small altar where the statues of the gods were displayed, stood the nightmares of the past, the vilest creatures ever known to the Winged Clans. Ralnd, who had rushed in behind her with sword raised, lowered it as the daggers pressed dangerously into the throats of their three babes. Their daughter cried out in desperation, her tiny wings fluttering in terror against the black-garbed chest of the human who held her. The twins, Aaroen and Gable, were silent, desperate to appear brave. She saw their fear, but also their belief that Papa would save them. With the humans were the Vultures. They were the vilest of the Clans, nightmares thought extinct. Their black wings were dull, as though dirt and oil coated their feathers, large stocky bodies with their thick muscular arms pinning her sons against their chests. They watched her with narrowed, leering eyes, their evil grins tight and promising long-nourished retribution.
Shattered Legacy
1·leighThe battle had been harder than most. The field, littered with the dead and dying of both sides, was enough to bring turmoil to even the strongest stomach. The warriors who walked through it now had stronger constitutions than most and still, the bile rose heavily within them. So many broken bodies. Warriors and knights, earls and lords, the scourge of death marked them all. For what cause, Devlin wondered. For greed, for power, to usurp and plunder, rape and pillage a land already suffering from the tyranny of one who should protect rather than destroy. Here was the proof of man’s cruelty and disregard, one to another. This was the sum total of a king’s vow to protect and cherish life. To lead, guide, and rule his throne in justice and compassion. It was a vow the king had made to the warriors and this was the proof of his deception.
Loving Lies
118·leighThe music was a gentle swell of sound around the riverbank clearing. It was here the gang gathered together for a weekend of drinking, fishing, and a general redneck helluva good time. It was the first gathering of the summer, and it looked like the crowd was all there. Just as they had been for the last decade. The boys of summer were back again and ready to forget the cares and woes of weekday reality. RVs, tents, pickup trucks and a various assortment of vehicles were pulled to the edge of the camping area as a bonfire burned in the center. Shouted welcomes and laughter filled the forested valley along the riverbank as music vibrated through the area with enough force to make certain no wildlife ventured near. The flickering light cast an eerie glow about the forest behind it, even as it reflected the revelry of those around the fire. The party was pumping, drinks were flowing and Slade Colter had a headache splitting across his forehead with enough force to give the music a run for its money. But even worse was the hard-on throbbing in his jeans. It was so engorged, so ready, so intent on one little woman that he couldn’t trust himself to stay. Couldn’t trust himself not to terrify her.
Sheilas passion
50·leighVengeance. It had been so long coming. So many years waiting, searching. Hating. Ah God, the hatred. It was like a wound festering deep within the soul, growing more tender by the year, refusing to release the acrid bitterness that filled it. And it all centered on one man. On a monster who had destroyed countless friends and family. Who had, with a single, thoughtless decision, caused centuries of traditions to be wiped out. Destroyed as though they had never been. And there had been no price extracted for the betrayal. There had been no punishment, no atonement; there hadn’t been so much as an “I’m sorry” or a sprig of flowers on the gravesites of those who had died because of the choices he had made. And many had died. A son had begun the slaughter as his father, the one so many followed, stood by, helpless, his loyalty centered on the daughter he had adored. The daughter’s life had meant more to that father than the traditions that had sustained a people for so long.
Yesterday
176·leighHe had caused her to break the heel on her brand-new white heels. He had ripped the strap of her sundress, left scratches on her leg and he had made her cry. Anna ran her fingers through her long-tangled hair, grimacing at the shape the once neat locks had been brushed into. Her hair fell down her shoulders to the middle of her back now, the clip that had once held it at the nape of her neck long gone. The sundress was held on one side by the snug fit over her breasts, but the midnight blue linen dress would never be the same again. Her feet were scratched and sore, and she hated the dark. She had always hated the dark. She sniffed as more tears fell from her eyes, and she hated herself for being so frightened that they fell. Anna prided herself on never crying. But here she was, walking down a deserted country road, barefoot, pissed and crying. Why she wasn't certain. It wasn't as though she really liked the little jerk. She had only gone out with him to satisfy her father who was becoming increasingly worried that his little girl didn't like guys at all. She sniffed miserably. She did like guys. Well, one guy. Besides, she had standards, and that pip squeak Charlie Austin didn't hardly measure.
Ecstasy
100·leighMonica sipped from her glass while looking at Craig. "Why do you think Halliburton gave up the prospect on the straits? After all, that is proven ground!" "Yes, but the costs are much higher and with the fracking in the Dakotas, they're not justified. They must drill and extract where the costs are at most equal to the costs in fracking spots, minus ten percent." "But the Southern Slope is already taken up by BP!" "That's true and it is odd, but not too extravagantly odd. It is unusual, I admit and it is out of the ordinary. My concern is how they'd get the license for the Southern Slope from the Feds, since they've already gave their thumbs up to BP. They don't usually double up on licenses, not even to one company, much less two! That is the oddest thing to me! In any case, I am happy. It means work for us!" "What do you mean?"
Lethal Nights
57·leighSon of the Dragon. She thought she’d heard somewhere that that was the literal translation of his surname. If so, it fit him from head to toe. Emma Jane stared back at the tall, dark vision of pure danger and dark, carnal sex appeal and wondered why she wasn’t shaking in her size 6 sneakers. A normal, everyday woman should never be forced to face such men. Just being in their presence drove home the fact that there might be pleasures, experiences, and hungers that would always be denied. His sunbronzed face was covered on one side by a menacing tattoo of a dragon, red eyes glaring at her from just above his left brow. Rough-hewn features were arranged with a hint of aristocracy, but for the evidence of a once-broken nose and the shadow of scars beneath the dragon. The icy stoicism in his pale green eyes and expression called to her and made her heart ache as he stood before her, made her want to reach out and touch him. She wanted to stroke him. There was something about him that was just so primal, elemental. He was a force of nature. He made her heart race.
Moving Violations
1.0K·leighJericho, Tennessee. The hick town still held so many bittersweet memories. Rebecca Taylor had only visited once since she’d left and she wouldn’t be back now if Aunt Josie hadn’t died. Rebecca frowned as she searched the cabinet for more plates. The house was full of people. Some she knew from her childhood, some she didn’t know. Rebecca had few memories of her father’s reclusive sister, but she knew she didn’t have friends. She hardly ever left her house. Aunt Josie had been such a private woman. Rebecca never expected this many people would attend her funeral, much less come by the house to offer condolences. She walked into the dining room and set the plates at the end of the highly polished mahogany table, looking it over. Covered dishes, casseroles and cakes were plentiful and there was one lone bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. She couldn’t help but smile at that. The doorbell rang and Rebecca sighed. At least maybe with all these people all the food would be eaten. She’d hate to have to throw it away. Rebecca made her way through the crowd occasionally nodding and saying, “Thank you,” as folks laid sympathetic hands on her arm and whispered their condolences.
Cowboy and the Captive
457·leighLuc Jardin knew Miss Maria Catarina Angeles was going to be trouble the minute she stepped into the small hangar where he and his friend and partner, Jack Riley, were waiting to see if they could pick up a last minute job flying out of the small South American airport. This job was looking too good to be true. He never did like the ones that were too much of a good thing, and this woman could be described no other way. She was slender and graceful, her skin a bit pale, but otherwise appearing as soft as satin. Her green eyes were vacant, but he had recognized her right off the bat. A spoiled little rich girl with too much time and money on her hands. It wasn’t exactly the demeanor Luc had glimpsed the few times he had been forced into the social circles she moved in, but it wasn’t the first time he had been wrong about a beautiful woman. He was sure it wouldn’t be the last.
Enigma
100·leighShe was a vision of beauty. Too fucking young, but her eyes weren’t those of a twenty-two-year-old. They were the eyes of a woman who had seen too much, who had known too much danger, too much pain. Jordan watched as she went through the strenuous training maneuvers the Elite Operations backup team was putting her through and wondered how the hell he was going to say no to her. She wasn’t strong enough to match the Elite Operations agents in physical strength or endurance, but she was more than a match for them in speed and ingenuity. “She has no place to go, Jordan. She’s spent her life running from her father and her brother. She doesn’t have the education or the job skills to step out of this life. This is all she has.” Kira Richards stood beside him, the former CIA asset somber, persuasive as she attempted to smooth over the anger Jordan knew he wasn’t hiding. He’d arrived at the training facility to check the status of his nephew, now known as Noah Blake, as well as the other operatives that were a part of his Elite Operations command. He hadn’t expected to find this tiny, sprite of a woman with masses of red hair, haunted green eyes and a too sad face sparring with the nephew in question. “Elite Operations isn’t an orphanage, Kira,” he reminded her, careful to keep his tone cold, emotionless. He couldn’t show the chink he knew this young woman had put in his defenses the first time he had met her two years before in Aruba during the Diego Fuentes operation. The operation involving Kira’s now husband, Ian, and his father Diego Fuentes, had been rife with danger. And there the girl had been, desperate to end the life of death and misery her father had waged to find her for nearly twenty years. Her eyes had been shattered then, filled with desperation and fear that the plot to bring down the terrorist, Sorrell, wouldn’t succeed.
Erins Kiss
127·leighThe night had finally wound down, the last customer urged out the door, and the Broken Bar was closed up for the night. Standing next to the counter, Erin Masters surveyed the pristine area critically, ensuring everything was ready for the next night. The head bartender and club manager, Jake Manning, had left her in charge of cleaning and restocking the various bottles of drinks kept on hand. The large crowds known to descend on the nightclub on any given night left no time to replace bottles. And he was damned picky about making certain everything, down to the last speck of dust, was cleaned away and the serving area ready to go the next evening. Glancing to the mirrored wall behind the wide counter, she found the neon BROKEN BAR sign. Her gaze moved to the camera eye in the center of it, then gave it her customary wink. She knew the girl that worked the security recordings. The wink was a nightly salute. Gabby would roll her eyes, Erin knew, and remember the night they’d had one drink too many, and revealed how each of them had become fixated on one of the Broken Bar’s security agents. For Gabby, it was Iron. For Erin, it was the hard, tough Turk Rogan. Folding the damp bar towel she’d used to clean the wood bar, Erin pushed it into the small plastic bag of towels used that night and tied the bag closed. Picking it up she pushed through the swinging doors to the kitchen, finally relaxing at the thought of going home for the night.
Killer Secrets
133·leighSlopping into the ICU Unit of the private military hospital wasn't an easy task. It would be considered insane from most men's point of view. Even a SEAL's. But that was exactly what former Lieutenant Ian Richards of the Navy SEALs did. Under the cover of night, he managed to slip into the hospital, make his way to the ICU, and wait until the guard at Nathan Malone's door dozed off before he slipped in, in the guise of an orderly. His first sight of his friend nearly stole his breath. Sweet Jesus. Nathan was in so many damned casts and wrapped in so many bandages he looked more like a mummy than a man. But it was a far sight easier on the eyes than the naked, ravaged SEAL they had dragged out of Fuentes's compound four months before. Tortured, beaten, sliced and diced. His face had been so disfigured it was hard to tell he was human, let alone the friend Ian had known for the better part of his life. How the hell Nathan had survived the nineteen months in Fuentes's care, Ian couldn't even imagine. Drugged constantly on the powerful date rape drug known as whore's dust, and encouraged repeatedly to rape the women brought to him, Nathan had lived in hell. The reports they had gathered indicated he had never taken one of the women locked in the cells with him, but the doctors and psychologists working with him said he might never recover from the amount of drugs pumped into his system. Ian knew better. Nathan was strong. Too damned strong to let Fuentes win like this.
Sarahs Seduction
837·leighSarah was everything he wanted, everything he had dreamed of for over a year now. He had waited, put aside any thought of her until she turned eighteen, ignored his rising lust each time she smiled at him. Just as he now ignored the little voice in his head that said she was still too young. Much too young for what he needed from her. But how could he resist her any longer? His body ached for her, his cock throbbed with a constant erection, his hands itched to stroke her silken skin. He was starving for the touch, the taste of her, and could no longer deny himself the pleasure he knew he would find in it. So, he watched and he waited, planning just the right time, just the right way to draw her to him. She wanted him; he could see it in the soft golden brown eyes, the flush that mounted her cheeks when she looked at him. The way her hands trembled and her breasts rose and fell with her quickened breathing. And he knew when she left the party after receiving his note to search the shadows of the house for him, that she needed him, too. “Sarah?” He moved from where he hid as she stepped hesitantly toward him. “Where’s your shadow?” Mark Tate had been damned near impossible for him to get rid of. “Mark?” She bit her lip nervously, glancing back at the corner of the house as though afraid the other man would suddenly appear. “He went off to the barn with some of his friends.” She turned back to him, watching him intently in the dim light of the full moon. “He’s just a friend, Brock.”
For Maggies Sake
137·leighMaggie samuels was pale. Too pale. The freckles across her creamy cheeks and along the bridge of her nose stood out clearly, emphasizing the frail, delicate look of her features. Her lush lips trembled, her wide green eyes were shocked and filled with unshed tears. And he wanted to save her. Joe Merino stared through the two-way glass, his hands pushed into the pockets of his slacks as he watched Maggie wrap her arms across her chest and stare unseeing back at the detective questioning her. Detective Folker had been questioning her for hours. Her husband had been dead less than a week, a husband who had supposedly adored her. Who lived for her. The same man who had supposedly been Joe’s friend. And now, Maggie’s life was being threatened as well. Because of that same man. Joe knew he shouldn’t give a damn. From all accounts, she had gotten herself into this; he should let her get herself out of it. That’s what his head was saying. His heart was saying something different. His heart was assuring him that there was no way Maggie was involved. He had slept with this woman at one time, held her in his arms, and watched her as she climaxed. The woman he had known couldn’t be cold-blooded enough to be involved with this. But then again, he had never suspected for a second that Grant was part of Fuentes’s organization. That he had helped rape and torture many of the young women that Fuentes had kidnapped.
Guilty Pleasure
300·leigh"Traitorous fucking bastard!" Marty Mathews stared at her boss, division chief Vince Deerfield, with a hidden sense of surprise as he threw the thick file on Khalid el Hamid-Mustafa across the desk. The dull, yellow folder hit, slid, then fell from the desk to scatter loose sheets of information and pictures at her feet. Khalid el Hamid-Mustafa. The bastard son of a Saudi sheikh suspected of terrorism. His father, Azir Mustafa, was a religious hardliner, a man who ruled one of the more barren sections of Saudi Arabia, on the Iraq border. He had tarred his sons with his own brush and in doing so had subjected Khalid to years of suspicion by the United States. It was the reason Marty had been tailing Khalid for the past two years. As an FBI agent, one on the low end of the totem pole as far as her boss was concerned, Marty had been stuck playing babysitter and peeping Thomasina to one of the most sexually active men she had ever laid her eyes on. A dark, brooding, dangerous man. There was no doubt in her mind that Khalid Mustafa would be a very dangerous man to cross. If she had doubted it, then the information her godfather had given her over the past years would have confirmed it. There was a reason why she had never reported any of the more suspicious activities Khalid had engaged in. Quite simply, it was because he engaged in them at the orders of her godfather, the director of the FBI. "No comment?" Vince snarled, his heavy brows lowered, his hazel green eyes spitting fire and brimstone back at her. "I'm the agent who's followed him for the past two years," she replied politely. "As my reports state, there's no evidence to support the suspicion that Mr. Mustafa has any ties to a terrorist community." Vince threw himself back in his chair and glared at her now. That glare was nerve-racking. It boded ill to any agent on the receiving end of it. Unfortunately, she was the agent in question. "Two years," he snapped. "I gave you two years, Agent Mathews, to find just a shred of evidence to support the suspicions we have against him. Two years. I could have convicted a five-year-old with that amount of time on my hands."
Marlys Choice
1.0K·leighMarly’s eyes opened slowly, blinking in awareness that he watched her. Cade stood beside her bed, his body hard and aroused, his eyes nearly black as he stared at her naked body. Those eyes focused between her thighs, where her fingers moved slowly on her smooth flesh, the small bud of her clit clearly visible as she massaged it sensuously. Her breath halted in her throat. He stood naked, his erection long and thick, one hand massaging it with slow, even strokes, his lashes lowered over the lust filled look in his eyes. Breathing harshly, Marly watched him lower himself beside her. She shook, recognizing the dream, but needing him so badly, she could only pray that this time, this time it was real. He stretched out on his side, one arm going beneath her neck, bracing himself on his elbow, his other hand touching her cheek gently. His body was hot and vibrant, heating her blood, her passion.
Only Pleasure
2.0K·leighKia Rutherford-Stanton opened the door to her penthouse suite and stared at the man on the other side. Dressed in dark slacks and a gray dress shirt, he appeared far more dangerous than the clothing and the handsome, quiet features would suggest. Thick black hair was pulled back from the honed, strong features of his face and secured at his nape. He looked wicked, forbidden, and dangerous. And, unfortunately, he was the very man she had hoped wouldn't be knocking at her door despite the fantasies she'd often had of him in the past. She knew him. Everyone knew who Chase Falladay was, and those who didn't soon learned. According to her bastard husband, he was also the one man she didn't want standing on her doorstep. As though she should be frightened of him. Perhaps that was her mistake. It was never fear that filled her whenever she was around Chase. Wariness at times. Uncertainty. And since her marriage, an awareness that she shouldn't be anywhere near him. But fear had never been one of those emotions. "What do you want?" She wondered if the bruises on her face were still apparent. She didn't think so. She'd spent forever on her makeup that morning. It seemed her husband, Carl "Drew" Stanton, hadn't been pleased when he found out that his wife had no intentions of taking him back, or of retracting the information spilling through their social set that he had not only attempted to rape her along with another man, but that he and that man were part of a club created for just such morally questionable acts. As though she wanted that to get out. As though it didn't humiliate her as much as it did him. That didn't mean she had to do anything to help him. And the backhanded blow he had given her in response had strengthened her resolve that she didn't care if he fried in society. She could weather any gossip because, frankly, she didn't give a damn.
Sacrifice
525·leigh“Easy, Red. Fuck yes, baby, there we go, take it all.” Red, or Kimberly Madison, lay back on the walnut table, her hands tied to the straps attached to the sides of it, her legs elevated by Sax as he slowly fed his cock up her tight, well-lubricated ass. Her head thrashed on the hard surface; beads of perspiration dotted her face, her full luscious breasts and peaked nipples. It ran in rivulets down her waist, a small amount pooled in the tiny indention of her bellybutton and her thighs glistened with it and the added mixture of thick juice that accumulated from her bare, flushed pussy. Sax had her thighs spread wide, bracing them with his muscular arms as he slowly fucked the petite little redhead while she screamed and bucked against him, begging for release. It was a sight Jared Raddington was certain would be burned in his mind forever.
Secret Sins
242·leighShe couldn’t stand it. She couldn’t stand being around him. Watching him, wanting to rub against the hard corded strength of his body, desperate to taste a kiss from the controlled line of his sensual lips. He looked like a pirate. Like a desperado pretending to be a sheriff, and he made her want to run even as he made her want to cling to him. She couldn’t stand it.
Black Jack
65·leigha steady, rain-filled wind whipped around the dark helmet covering Travis Caine’s head, sang around the leather pants and jacket he wore, and whispered a caress over the full, face-shielding helmet he wore. Heavy boots covered his feet, protecting him against the elements as rain poured down from the skies, and lightning lit the darkness with jagged forks of power. The Harley he rode roared down the open highway, throbbing with the increased power it had been customized with. The display beneath the handlebars was lit with a muted glow indicating speed, time, and location. The embedded electronics in the night-vision shield of the helmet provided other readouts considered imperative in his line of work. According to that information, he was growing closer to his destination and a mission he still wasn’t certain he was prepared to be a part of, because of the woman he was partnered with, because of a night they shouldn’t have shared. He shouldn’t have loved her.
Deadly Sins
301·leighFor Immediate Consideration. Corbin County, Colorado. One Million in US Funds. All expenses reimbursed. Three Marks, plus Collateral at one hundred thousand per hit. Deposit one third. One third at first hit. Remainder upon Completion. Immediate Reply Requested. Ryan Calvert stared at the message for a long time, lips tight, jaw clenched in fury. Son of a bitch. He had to admit he had expected this sooner. Hell, years sooner. His cover as an assassin worked perfectly. He’d put out feelers twelve years before that he wanted any jobs going through Corbin County. He hadn’t expected them to take this long though. What had tipped the scales? Was it the Callahans’ return, or was it, as he suspected, one of the Callahans’ imminent marriage?
Live Wire
340·leighShe was a vision of beauty. Too fucking young, but her eyes weren’t those of a twenty-four-year-old. They were the eyes of a woman who had seen too much, who had known too much danger, too much pain. Jordan watched as she went through the strenuous training maneuvers the Elite Operations backup team was putting her through and wondered how the hell he was going to say no to her.
Embraced
318·leighIt was crazy. The worst possible idea imaginable. She had spent three years denying the desire, denying the truth of her own feelings. If she walked up to that room, then it would change things forever. Marey pulled her little car into the parking lot of the motel and stared at the exterior nervously. Was she brave enough to do it? Could she actually walk in there and give in to all the desires she had kept hidden all her life, and then walk away as though it had never happened? Her hands gripped the steering wheel, her fingers curling around it in a death grip as she fought the tremors that quaked through her body. She didn’t know if she could do it. She had spent too many years fighting it. Unlike her friends, the merry five who had entered into marriages with infamous Trojans, Marey knew she likely didn’t have what it took to carry this off. It was one night, her hormones screamed at her. One stupid night of wild, hot sex, stop philosophizing over it. She could do this. Couldn’t she?
