Reviews Excerpts

Entangled coverKiera Stevens knows there’s a spy in kidTek, the toy company she inherited from her father which also handles top-secret defense R&D projects. She doesn’t know whom among her employees she can trust but to ferret out the spy she needs more than an ordinary investigator and absolute secrecy.

High adept and security consultant John Atlantis (Lantis to his friends and colleagues) is a retired black ops agent with the security clearances to prove it. As a favor to his former partner, he takes on Kiera’s problem, going undercover as her lover to carry out his investigation.

Intricate world-building and sizzling sex make Entangled a magical package!—Angela KnightWhen a complicated spell to upgrade the security of kidTek’s labs results in more power than safe, Lantis is forced to ground the power through sex … and he and Kiera become entangled, their minds sharing sensations and pleasures.

Hot and smooth as Kentucky bourbon, . . . a romance to savor.—Diane WhitesideThat’s when things become complicated. Because the spy is just the tip of the iceberg. Someone is watching Kiera, someone who doesn’t want her at the head of kidTek and doesn’t care who stands in the way.

Excerpts

Large hands grasped Kiera’s wrists, drawing her thoughts back to the office and her arms behind her back.

“It won’t work if you’re this tense around me all the time,” Lantis murmured. He pulled her arms further back gently, shifting his grip so that one hand held both her wrists at the small of her back.

“What?” she gasped, breathless with shocked excitement.

“You need to feel comfortable around me.” His breath tickled her ear, sending darts that made her nipples tingle and tighten. His body heat surrounded her.

Kiera jerked her arms, testing his grip, but he held on easily. “What are you going to do?” she asked unsteadily. It was like a scene straight out of her weekend fantasies. The realization sent a flare of treacherous heat streaking through her, undermining any thought of resistance.

“I’m going to let you get used to me,” Lantis answered ambiguously. He stroked her hip with his free hand. “Unless you can think of another way you can learn to relax with me in less than a day?”

What?Kiera’s thoughts splintered as he rubbed her inner hip with light fingers. Her core fluttered in response, anticipating the rapture to come.

“I’ll stop if you really want me to,” Lantis offered. “No?”

He reached up and drew her jacket down her arms, revealing her nipples tenting her satin blouse. He used the slippery fabric to chafe them through her thin bra.

Kiera whimpered, disbelief warring with excitement. Could this really be happening? He was virtually a stranger, but her body didn’t care.
