Description from the publisher:
When Krista catches her boss doing the unthinkable, the only
thing she can do is run. Straight into the arms of the eye-candy she’s been
trying not to flirt with on her lunch break. But whose side is he on?
Ryan’s security firm is having a hard time getting off the ground, and this may be just the job to help the company out. But pseudo-bounty hunter isn’t really what Pierce Securities is trying to get a name for. When he finds out their target is the classy lady from the park, all of his senses go on high alert. What do these men want with her?
When Krista is forced into Ryan’s sanctuary in the woods, she realizes just how wild he is, and that she doesn’t want to tame him. He may feel his methods of protection endangered her, but without Krista in his life, Ryan is crazed.
This is book #1 in the Pierce Securities, a Romantic Suspense series by Anne Conley, author of the Stories of Serendipity and The Four Winds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the first book in the new
Pierce Securities series. Each will
feature a different couple and should stand on its own, but I recommend reading
them in order as there will be updates on the relationships formed in the
previous books.
I don’t know who I love more –
Krista or Ryan. Of course, I also wanted
to shake both of them equally as well.
Both are trying so hard to not read too much into the other that they’re
both missing the signs that there is more to read! Ryan is so protective I half expected him to
turn into a wolf or a bear at any minute.
Krista may be in danger, but she is no wilting flower waiting for her
knight to do all of the protecting. She
is just so strong and capable, while still feminine and beautiful. The all-around perfect woman for Ryan… if
they’ll both allow it to happen!
Anne Conley has begun another series
that is destined to entertain and seduce readers. Book two releases in just a few days (from
writing of this post). I promise you do
not want to miss either one!

“How
cold is it supposed to get?”
“Not
too cold. Fifties?”
“You
should have told me to bring more clothes.”
“I
packed some for you.” He grinned at her
outraged expression.
“You
had clothes for me and let me parade around in that blanket all day?”
Flabbergasted,
she watched heat creep into his face as he ducked his head, his grin turning
sheepish. “A guy can hope.”
“Hope
for what?” Heart pounding, she saw the
evidence of his attraction as he avoided her gaze. Was he actually as attracted to her as she
was to him? Why all the avoidance
then? It would certainly make their time
together pass faster. At least less
awkwardly. “Hope for what, Ryan?”
He
looked up at her, the flush in his face making his complexion look ruddy. Hot as hell.
She couldn’t stop herself. Krista
had never thrown herself at a man the way she was compelled to do with Ryan,
but the way he looked at her—like he could devour her any second—made any
semblance of decorum fly out the window… er… shelter.
Licking
her lips, she watched as Ryan froze, every muscle in his body tensing up. There wasn’t much space between them, but she
closed it as she crawled into his lap, feeling a devilish grin on her face. She could feel his arousal press against her
core, and she automatically ground against it, eliciting a moan from him. She’d never been this way with a man
before. His hands came up to grip her
hips, as if to stop her, but his eyes told her to keep going. He looked helpless to stop his desires and
seemed on the verge of giving in to them.
“Hope
for what, Ryan?” she repeated in a whisper before leaning forward. She knew he wanted this almost as badly as
she did.
“Don’t…”
he breathed at her, leaning his forehead against hers.
Her
pussy was so hot and wet; she couldn’t believe he was stopping. He was hard and ready. She rocked against him to illustrate.
“Don’t
what? You want this, don’t you?” A shot of sobering indecisiveness rankled
her. “Or is this all one-sided?” She backpedaled, crawling out of his lap and
onto her pile of leaves.
“Fuck,”
Ryan muttered under his breath. “Of
course I want it, Krista. Like nothing
I’ve ever wanted before.” His voice was
hoarse and gritty. He adjusted the bulge
in his pants, but didn’t come any closer, and Krista felt the sting of
rejection all over again. “You’re
fucking beautiful. And classy. And perfect.”
He let out a whoosh of air she felt across the shelter. “But I know that if we do anything, I’ll want
to spend every day buried inside that sweet pussy and I won’t be able to
protect you with a distraction like that.”
He stood, ducking in the low-ceilinged structure. “I need to protect you.” Without another word, he stalked out of the
structure, into the rain.
Krista
shivered in the sudden cold of the shelter.
The temperature hadn’t dropped physically, but the absence of Ryan left
a definite chill against her heated skin.
What the fuck had just happened?
She had no doubt he wanted her.
Thank you
