Have you ever
been so desperate you made a decision that would haunt you forever?
Jess has.
She became a
porn star.
Jess is on
the run from her past. She has no friends, no life. She tries to forget
everything that happened to her all those years ago. After changing her image,
leaving her home and getting a new job, she’s determined it won’t happen again.
If that means never being close to anyone ever again, then so be it.
If only
Hunter O’Reilly didn’t make her wish things could be different.
Hunter needs
this job. After being screwed over by his partner—make that ex-partner—his investigation business is
on the line. Already in debt, he eagerly takes on the job of finding some
stolen money at triple his going rate and all leads point in Jess’s direction.
He expects problems at that price. But he doesn’t expect to fall for her.
However, no
job is ever that simple. When he’s forced to spend more time with her, the
lines between business and pleasure are blurred. And once Jess’s life comes
under threat, they have to make a decision, can they both overcome Jess’s past?

EXCERPT
“If you’re in trouble, I know some
people who can help.”
“I’m not in trouble. Really, I’m
not. I mean who would want to kill me? I know bankers aren’t exactly popular—”
she lets loose a shaky laugh “—but I’m harmless.”
Harmless? Not sure about that.
Jess sends my heart racing, makes my skin clammy. She’s driving me insane.
Harmless? No way.
“What do you want me to do?” I
ask.
“Do?”
“Shall I stick around?”
“Oh. No, you don’t need to do
that.”
“I don’t mind.”
“I’m fine. Seriously. Thank you
for today. You must be tired and I bet your side hurts.”
It does, but I’m not going to
admit to that. “It’s fine.”
“Look about that kiss….”
“That was my fault.”
“I kissed you.”
“You did.” I can’t resist letting
my mouth curve upwards. She kissed me, but I don’t know if that’s a bad or a
good thing. While my pride basks in it, the voice inside that keeps pulling at
my gut wants to scream at her to run while she still can. I’m no good for her.
“But I kissed you back,” I point out. “And I should not have been… er… touching
you out there.”
She draws her bottom lip between
her teeth. “It’s okay.”
Hell, how do those two tiny words
send an arrow of need straight to my cock? It’s okay that I was kissing her? Or
touching her up? It’s okay that I want her so badly I nearly bent her over my
bike to fuck her?
Before I can dwell on it anymore
and make an even bigger fool of myself, I get to my feet. “Will you let me
stay?”
“I don’t think so. It’s too
risky.”
A hard knot forms in my throat. I’m
more dangerous to her than a crazed gunman it seems. She might be right. If—when—I find that money, her whole life
is going to come crashing down.
“Don’t answer the door to anyone.
Be careful. Call me if you need me. In fact, call me tomorrow.” She follows me
to the door. “Please?” I add as uncertainty dashes across her face.
Jess opens the door and I step
out. “I’ll call you,” she says when I turn to face her.
“Promise?”
She rolls her eyes and her mouth
curves. “I promise.”
Those lush lips snare my attention
and my own smile drops. My skin feels hot and itchy, my pulse urgent. This is
insane. I rest an arm against the door frame, my feet still firmly planted on
the other side of the threshold and bring my mouth slowly down on hers. She
softens but doesn’t touch me. We’re divided by the invisible line between the
corridor and her room. I can’t help thinking of it as symbolic. We’re divided
by secrets and lies.
Not that any of that matters once
our lips connect. I swear I’ve never wanted to kiss a woman so much. Kisses are
about the end game. But not with Jess. I want to drown in her kisses, to kiss
her all day and see if I ever tire of them. I suspect it’s unlikely.
