Your partner knows your secrets. Your partner watches your back. Your partnerâĶis the star of your fantasies?
Linc Dalton knows that he is supposed to keep his hands off his partnerâĶwell, unless he is protecting Blair Kincaidâs gorgeous body. Sheâs his partner at an elite security and protection firm. Their job is to guard the wealthy, to take out the bad guys, and to generally kick butt. He trusts Blair completely. He admires her strength and courage. And he wants her desperately. Not that he ever intends to let her know that fun fact. Instead, he keeps up a fake persona where he offers her jokes and flippant comments.
Blair is straight-laced. By-the-book. Always by-the-book. Linc likes things a bit wilder. Control isnât his strong suit, but, with a massive effort, heâs kept his control in place around Blair. With Blair, heâs on his best behaviorâĶ
Until he isnât. Until they get a new case. Until they have to go undercover as lovers.
And, suddenly, Linc has to put his hands on Blairâs delectable form. He has to stay very close to her. Has to whisper sweet promises to her. Has to share the same bed with Blair. Itâs just a cover story. Heâs not really in love with herâĶexcept, one night, they cross the line. Stop being pretend lovers and become the real thing. Once Linc has Blair, there is no turning back. Giving her up isnât an option.
She broke the rules, and for once, Blair doesnât care.
She shouldnât have done it. Blair knows she shouldnât have let the desire she feels for Linc sweep her away. Yet she did, and now, everything has changed. She wants him more than ever before, and, surely, they can do this, right? They can be lovers and partners and still get the job done. As long as emotions donât get involved, everything is fine.
Until it isnât. Until Blair and Linc are targeted as prey. Until all of their emotions are out of control.
When their cover is blown, Blair and Linc find themselves being hunted. Itâs a race for survival, and Blair knows that Linc has her back. Just as she has his. Prepare yourselfâĶthings are about to get wild.
The stakes are higher than theyâve ever been, and Linc and Blair are about to turn things red-hot. Molten level. Watch outâĶyou just might get burned.
ïŧŋAuthorâs Note: These partners have been on a slow-burn path, but their desire is about to ignite into an inferno they canât control. You ready to steam up the pages? Weâve got action, thrills, romanceâĶand a hero who is funny, sexy, and willing to do anything to claim his lady. CROSSING THE LINE is a complete, stand-alone novel. Guaranteed happily-ever-after (though reaching that ending will sure be funâĶand a wee bit dangerous). Enjoy!
