Description:
The
scorching tale of one girl, two brothers and a love triangle…that’s not.
Olivia
Townsend is nothing special. She’s just a girl working her way through college
so she can return home to help her father run his business. She’s determined
not to be the second woman in his life to abandon him, even if it means putting
her own life on hold. To Olivia, it’s clear what she must do. Plain and simple.
Black and white. But clear becomes complicated when she meets Cash and Nash
Davenport. They’re brothers. Twins.
Cash is everything she’s always wanted in a guy. He’s a dangerous, sexy bad boy who wants her in his bed at any cost. He turns her insides to mush and, with just one kiss, makes her forget why he’s no good for her. Nash is everything she’s ever needed in a guy. He’s successful, responsible and intensely passionate. But he’s taken. Very taken, by none other than Marissa, Liv’s rich, beautiful cousin. That doesn’t stop Olivia from melting every time he looks at her, though. With just one touch, he makes her forget why they can never be together.
Black and white turns to shades of gray when Olivia discovers the boys are hiding something, something that should make her run as far and as fast as she can. But it’s too late to run. Olivia’s already involved. And in love. With both of them. Both brothers make her heart tremble. Both brothers set her body on fire. She wants them both. And they want her. How will she ever choose between them?

Excerpt:
Damn, she’s beautiful!Between this girl’s black hair, her bright probably-green eyes, her banging little body and the way she seems a tiny bit shy, I’m wishing we were alone in this room together.Her smile doesn’t leave her lips as she runs her hands around my waist, untucking my shirt. When it’s free, she starts to pull it up.But then she pauses. For a split second, I see her hesitate. She’s trying not to show that she’s unsure of herself, of what she’s doing.I stare down into those liquid eyes. I don’t want her to stop. I want to feel her hands on my skin. So I taunt her, hoping to feed the feline that I’d be willing to bet is buried somewhere down deep.“Oh, come on. Is that all you got?” I whisper.Her eyes bore into mine and I hold my breath, waiting to see which side will win. In fascination, I watch as the balance of power shifts and the change is reflected in her eyes. They get a little brighter, a little feistier. I’ve never actually seen someone muster courage. Determination. Something in this girl refuses to give in, to back down. She’s rising to the challenge. And it’s hot as hell.She keeps her eyes on mine as she starts to pull up my shirt. She leans in closer and I get a whiff of her perfume. It’s sweet and a little musky. Sexy. Just like her.She has to plaster her body to mine and stretch up on her tiptoes to get my shirt over my head. I can feel her breasts pushing against my chest. I could make the task easier for her. But I don’t. I like the feel of her rubbing against me. There’s no way I’m ruining that.Once she has my shirt off, she backs up and looks me over. She’s shy about it. That much is obvious. It’s like she wants to look, but she’s a little embarrassed to, which actually makes it more of a turn on for some reason. I’m sure every other eye in the room is watching me, watching us, but hers are the only ones I can feel. They’re like tongues of fire, licking my skin. They’re searing and tangible. Or at least they feel that way to me.I take a deep breath and her eyes drop to my stomach. Then they flicker down a little further. She stares longer than she should, but not nearly as long as I want her to. I start to get hard.Her eyes widen and her lips fall open just enough for her tongue to sneak out and wet them. I have to grit my teeth to keep from pulling her to me and kissing that lush little mouth of hers.Then light pours into the room. It’s just enough to break the spell.

UP TO ME
(The Bad Boys, #2):
Released:
January 4, 2013
Happily
ever after doesn’t come easy. But for
love, it’s always worth the fight.
Olivia
finds bliss unlike any she’s ever known in Cash’s arms. He sets her skin on fire and melts her heart
right inside her chest. Unfortunately,
their happily ever after is short-lived when a shadow from Cash’s past
threatens to turn their world upside down.
Dangerous people from his father’s world
have discovered that Cash holds information that could put them away for a very
long time. And they’re willing to do
anything—and hurt anybody—to get it back.
Giving it up means Cash must choose between the life of his father and
the life of Olivia.
Having
nearly overcome her wariness of bad boys, Olivia’s trust is shaken when this
new threat arises. Now she finds that
Cash is not only a danger to her heart, but his family has associations that
are a danger to her life as well. She
soon discovers that there are some situations in life where trust is a girl’s
only option. And this is one of
them. If she’s to live, she must trust
Cash with her life. But to Olivia,
that’s much, much easier than letting go and trusting him with her heart.

She relocated to the warmer climates of the South, where she can be near the
water all summer and miss the snow all winter. Possessed of an overactive
imagination from early in her childhood, Michelle finally found an acceptable

dozen novels, these days Michelle enjoys letting her mind wander to more
romantic settings with sexy Southern guys, much like the one she married and
the ones you'll find in her latest books. When her thoughts aren't roaming in
that direction, she'll be riding horses, swimming in ponds and experiencing
life on a ranch, all without leaving the cozy comfort of her office.

convinced that one day they could be the basis for world peace. I also love the
color red and am seriously considering dying my hair.
