RELEASE DATE: January 13th,
2015
Olivia Dare, executive
director of
the Miami Thunder, and team travel director Dylan Rhodes share more
than just a
passion for football. Their chemistry is explosive -- their
feelings
for each other intense. Yet Olivia has ended things for reasons he
still can’t
fathom and she won’t explain.
Unwilling to let
something
special go so easily, Dylan has been pursuing Olivia ever since. When
the
Pro-Bowl takes them to the tropical paradise of Hawaii, Dylan is determined
to make
sure their time together isn’t all business. What happens in paradise
is life
altering but once Olivia admits her deepest secret and fear, will Dylan
still want
the forever he’s been pushing
for?
EXCERPT
Ian glanced
around the
now empty room before speaking. “I realize I’m in no position to
judge
relationships in the work
place.”
Hell no,
considering
Ian had pursed his now-wife, Riley, brought her into the business,
and
promoted her, Dylan thought.
As for
Olivia …
“There is no relationship.”
“But you
want there
to be one. And my sister isn’t cooperating. Am I
right?”
When Dylan
didn’t
reply, Ian continued. “I saw you two in the hallway. At the
party.”
Dylan blew
out a long
breath. “Not that I owe you an explanation but nothing happened.” He
ran a hand
over his goatee, buying time.
“Bullshit.
I saw the
kiss.”
Dylan
inclined
his head. “Fine.”
He knew Ian
was
overprotective of his sisters. He even understood the man’s reasons. For
that reason
alone, Dylan wouldn’t lose his temper
now.
“Look,
you’re my
friend. More than that, I respect you as my boss. But whatever is or
isn’t going
on with me and Olivia … that’s none of your
business.”
Ian eyed
him through
his infamous narrowed gaze, assessing him, causing Dylan to
straighten
his shoulders and meet his stare head
on.
Ian cleared
his throat.
“My sister is tough on the outside but she’s … more fragile
inside,” he
said, clearly considering his words
carefully.
“Your
point?”
Dylan asked the other man.
“Don’t play
with her
head or her heart.”
Dylan
inclined
his head. Unknowingly, Ian had just reaffirmed that whatever kept
Olivia at
arms length, it had nothing to do with business. If anything, she
felt too
much or she wouldn’t have run.
“We good?”
Ian
asked.
“Always.”
“Then good
luck in
Hawaii,” Ian said, turned and walked out the door, leaving Dylan alone
to
strategize his next step.
Dylan wasn’t
the type to
give up on something he wanted. He’d been too soft with Olivia,
giving her
space, figuring she’d give in to chemistry eventually. Obviously
that wasn’t
going to happen. He needed to take control and should have done it
sooner.
Where better than the tropical paradise of Hawaii to make his
intentions
crystal clear.
Yes they
were going
to Hawaii on business, but she was interested in enjoying the
island.
They were staying in the same hotel and attending the same events. That
added up to
opportunity and Dylan wasn’t above taking advantage if it meant
getting
what he wanted. And he wanted
Olivia.

closer than she cares to remember, and her struggles with Ian’s dominance might
just cost her everything. (love story, contemporary romance, alpha heroes,

After ending a relationship to a cheating,
domineering man, Isabelle Masters takes off in her leased Mercedes, only to be
arrested for grand theft and hauled to a local police station. To her surprise,
she is rescued by the most unlikely person possible, Gabriel Dare, a man she’s
been attracted to for far too long. Gabe offers Isabelle freedom along with an
invitation to Eden, an exclusive island resort where everything and anything is
possible.
Although Gabe yearns to possess Isabelle, he knows
all too well he must fight his primitive need to bind her to him, and instead
help bring out the independent woman she yearns to become – or risk losing her
for good.
A woman who needs to run her own life. A man who
needs to exert control. Can she surrender to his erotic demands without losing
her sense of self once more?
Decklan Dare knows about the unexpected loss of
loved ones and for this reason, he values control in all areas of his life.
Amanda Collins enjoys the freedom she finds in casual encounters without the
emotional connection a relationship brings. They meet and their physical
attraction is mutual but both experience feelings that could run deeper – if
they drop their guard and let each other in. Decklan is first to trust, but
when he discovers the secret Amanda’s been hiding, will he forgive? Or will he
rebuild every wall before she has a chance to
explain?
