BLURB:
When Officer Blake Herro agreed to go
undercover in the Mob, he thought he understood the risks. But he's made
mistakes and now an innocent woman has become their target. He's determined to
protect her at all costs.
The Mob's death threat turns Dr. Dani
Hart's life upside down, but there is one danger she doesn’t anticipate. As
she's dodging bullets, she's falling in love with Blake. With danger all around
them, will she and Blake survive and have a happy ending, or will the Mob make
good on their threat?
EXCERPT:
She panted with fear. What if they see the chest? What if we get caught? What if my breath stinks and I’m breathing right into Officer Hottie’s face? She shut her mouth and let oxygen flow through her nose.
EXCERPT:
She panted with fear. What if they see the chest? What if we get caught? What if my breath stinks and I’m breathing right into Officer Hottie’s face? She shut her mouth and let oxygen flow through her nose.
Her
eyesight slowly adjusted to the darkness and she could see Officer Herro’s
silhouette. His head was turned and he was listening to the thuds of heavy
boots getting louder; the intruders were coming their way.
Then
the thunder of footsteps sounded right next to them. “There’s no one here,
Red,” someone announced.
“Look
for documents,” a man ordered, who Dani could only assume was Red. “I want the
name of the person I’m going to kill.”
A
moment later, there was a reply. “All the mail is addressed to a Dr. Hart.”
Hearing
her name said aloud by one of the men who had ransacked her place made her want
to gasp. Her mouth fell open and her breath was reversing into her lungs, but
before she could make a sound, Officer Herro lowered his lips to hers,
silencing her. Stunned, she could only lie beneath him with her eyes wide and
her body tense. She couldn’t believe he was kissing her. She wanted to push him
back, but knew if she did he might hit the inside of the chest, giving away
their hiding place. That was when she realized he was kissing her so she
wouldn’t gasp.
She
let her body relax. After her initial shock faded, she was able to feel his
lips. They were comforting and caused a reaction deep inside her. She couldn’t
stop her lips from reacting to his. It was an innocent connection, a soft touch
of lips. Until his hand slid from her shoulder to her neck and the kiss
deepened into something else.

Private Internship Blurb:
Sugar’s not so
sweet and secrets can be deadly … especially with matters of the heart
Sienna’s
bestie, Harper warned her not to intern for famous bad boy artist, Casper
Mason. After all, he just fired Harper who helped Sienna get the interview. But
the moment Sienna sees Casper—or Caz—sweaty and practically shirtless and
swinging from chains while he works on his sculpture, she’s hooked. He’s the
richest, hottest artist in New York, and he lives in the fabulous Williamsburg
Sugar Factory. But he’s also an incorrigible game-player, who seems to relish challenging
Sienna’s loyalty with a string of unsettling tests.
She
knows she should get away fast. But by the time Sienna sneaks into his locked
storage room and begins to unearth his dark and terrifying secret, she’s fallen
way too hard for the handsome, charismatic Caz.

Excerpt:
He locks his rich, hot-chocolate eyes on
me, and studies my every curve and angle, seems to be piercing right through my
skin into the alleys of my mind and heart. Curious,
he’s so curious. I sense him asking where I’m from and why it took me so
long to find him, and what kind of art I do, and whether I’ve ever sold it or
gotten a review, or who I know, who I hang out with, and how much experience
I’ve had in galleries, in school, in the world, in bed. My neck heats up. Did
I just think that? Or was that something in his head that crossed wires and
invaded mine? He’s close to me now, still staring boldly, when suddenly I feel
his inner questions stop. And a wall, like one of those metal store gratings,
clatters downward and slams. Closed for business, closed for questions, closed
for good.
This, all before we’ve exchanged one word.
When I come back into myself, I’m embarrassed to realize that I’m wringing my
hands—the old-fashioned hysterical Victorian damsel in distress kind of
wringing. I stop, immediately. Rub my sweaty palms on my dress. Buck up! I scold silently. And I extend
my hand. “I’m Sienna. I’m your new intern.”
Casper Mason doesn’t take my hand. The
nerve. He’s standing there, boldly, legs wide apart in some twisted warrior
stance, arms folded across his wide chest. Jaw jutting out rebelliously, eyes
daring me . . . to do what? So after an excruciating few seconds, I retract my
hand.
“My new intern?” Caz mumbles as though an
intern is a radioactive space rock or some otherworldly object and he never
ordered one. “Well, it’s about time. That last one was a disaster.”
