Excerpt for Sweet Deal:
They drank another beer, chatted a bit more, danced again. As the evening
grew cooler, Shelby slipped on a hoodie she’d brought. She almost forgot to be
aware of where Andrew was, and whether he was watching them. As the crowd
dwindled, she looked at Jake with regret.
“We could leave now,” she said softly. “I think our mission is
accomplished.”
“Yeah. Okay.” He nodded and set down the cola he’d requested instead of beer
last time. “I’ll drive you back to your car.”
“Oh. Yeah.” She hesitated. “You know, that wasn’t very smart of me, but I
think I’ve had too much to drink.” She bit her bottom lip as she met his eyes.
“I completely forgot I had to drive.”
“That’s okay. I’ll just drive you home then. Will you be able to get your
car tomorrow?”
Things were pleasantly blurry as they walked hand in hand toward the parking
lot. “Yeah, I’ll get it somehow. But thanks for driving me home. Geez, I feel
so stupid.”
“You are far from stupid, Shelby Rose.”
“I like how you call me that,” she confessed. He opened the passenger door
of his Audi SUV, and she paused. “Man, this is a high vehicle.”
“It is for an elf,” he said. “Here.” He lifted her and sat her on the
passenger seat, then closed her door.
“Hey!” But he was walking around the vehicle to his side. She glared at him when
he slid in and he grinned.
“I’m teasing.” He leaned over and brushed his mouth across hers, sending
tingles cascading over her whole body. She blinked at him, then remembered to
fasten her seatbelt.
He parked on the street in front of her apartment building in the quiet
residential neighborhood and walked with her to the door. As she paused at the
door, the shadows of the tall queen palm shifting moonlight over and around
them, he slipped his fingers beneath her chin and lifted her face. She stared back
at him, her gaze moving over his dark eyes, crinkled at the corners as he
smiled, the cleft in the middle of his chin, the sexy curve of his lower lip.
Oh. Her breath whooshed out of her.
Heat expanded, the air around them feeling like it might ignite, and then
they were wrapped in each other’s arms, mouths fused together in a hot,
impetuous kiss, bold, frantic and hungry.
His arms crushed her to him, her purse thunked to the ground and her feet
lifted as he hauled her higher and tighter to his body.
“Jesus,” he muttered against her mouth, before taking it again in another
devouring kiss. She kissed him back, mindless, frenzied. The sexual tension
that had been smoldering inside her all evening burst into flames. Heat swept
over her.
His tongue dragged over hers, licked her bottom lip, then his mouth sealed
over hers again. An intense ache bloomed low in her belly, and she slid her
hands into his hair, holding his head, and she kissed him back, a full-mouthed,
full-bodied kiss that had more heat exploding between them.
Eventually, she pulled back, panting, heart hammering, and gasped, “Wait.”
He made a sound like a groan.
“We don’t have to do this,” she wheezed. “This was supposed to be an act.”
He made a derisive noise. “Yeah. It was supposed to be. But don’t tell me
you don’t feel it too, Shelby Rose.”
His hands tightened on her ass, pulling her against him, and she felt his
erection against her belly. Holy crap, he was big. She’d made him that hard.
And he’d made her so wet her panties were soaked. You couldn’t fake that kind
of reaction. She gazed up at him, uncertain of what to do now.
“Invite me in,” he ordered softly.
She licked her lips. She wanted to, she really, really did, but she’d made
this mistake before. Slept with guys too soon, because they got her all hot and
bothered, because dammit she liked men, and she loved sex. Her friends
had analyzed to death her tendency to fall into bed with men and she knew it
had to do with wanting attention from them, and she was determined she was done
with all that. But all those old doubts fell away when she studied him,
remembering what he’d done for her that evening, how he’d helped her, how he’d
really cared that she fixed things with her boss, and a tender warmth spread
through her. She was lost.

Courage is feeling the fear... then pouring on the throttle.
Abandoned or betrayed by everyone she ever loved, Sera Manning’s life spiraled out of control until a near death experience left her with a mission. Now a DEA agent, her sole focus -- and her first undercover assignment -- is to take down a drug cartel that’s manufacturing seductive, deadly angel sugar.
To do it, she needs access to Operation Black Abyss to establish a connection between the cartel and the Death Angels outlaw motorcycle gang. Which means she must pose as a couple with another agent who’s already deep undercover.
ATF agent Ryan Thomas desperately needs a female agent to maintain his cover in the gang, but the last thing he wants is a rookie agent jeopardizing his op. Especially one that is a sexy reminder why it’s a bad idea to get involved while on a case.
Living together, surrounded by crime, pretending their sizzling sexual tension is just for show is getting harder by the day. But as the mission comes to a head, the two fiercely independent warriors must decide which fear is worse. Losing their quarry... or losing each other.
Warning: Features a badass biker hero and kickass heroine who go at it undercover -- and under the covers.
