From New York Times and USA Today
bestselling author Lexi Blake comes a new story in her Masters and Mercenaries
series…
JT Malone is lucky, and he knows it.
He is the heir to a billion-dollar petroleum empire, and he has a loving
family. Between his good looks and his charm, he can have almost any woman he
wants. The world is his oyster, and he really likes oysters. So why does it all
feel so empty?
Nina Blunt is pretty sure she’s
cursed. She worked her way up through the ranks at Interpol, fighting for every
step with hard work and discipline. Then she lost it all because she loved the
wrong person. Rebuilding her career with McKay-Taggart, she can’t help but feel
lonely. It seems everyone around her is finding love and starting families. But
she knows that isn’t for her. She has vowed never to make the mistake of
falling in love again.
JT comes to McKay-Taggart for
assistance rooting out a corporate spy, and Nina signs on to the job. Their
working relationship becomes tricky, however, as their personal chemistry
flares like a wildfire. Completing the assignment without giving in to the
attraction that threatens to overwhelm them seems like it might be the most
difficult part of the job. When danger strikes, will they be able to count on
each other when the bullets are flying? If not, JT’s charmed life might just
come to an end.

Excerpt
“If I’d had drink number four, would
we be here?” Nina was curious. She’d had more than one man try to ply her with
drink to get what he wanted. It never worked, but she wanted to understand his
reasoning.
He stared at her for a moment as
though assessing the situation and then he leaned against the wall. “No. I
would have made sure you got back to your room, but I don’t know your
threshold. I have zero interest in coaxing you with liquor. I would far rather
know you wanted me and not some random guy to forget your troubles with. And I
didn’t want to get drunk either. Three’s a good limit for me. I don’t need
anything to dull this experience.”
He was forthright. She liked that
quite a bit, and he hadn’t had a fourth drink either. He’d been perfectly in
control. Another thing she liked. She couldn’t exactly come out and tell him
she would very much enjoy it if he dominated her sexually. Or could she? “But I
am trying to forget my troubles. That doesn’t mean I don’t want you in
particular. If you hadn’t been in the bar this evening, I would have settled
for a book.”
His lips curled up in the sexiest
smile. “What kind of book?”
“Romance.” Somehow she didn’t think
he would be derisive. Some people had contempt for the genre, but they were
usually the ones who could use it the most.
He moved in, his hand coming up to
brush a stray hair off her cheek, tucking it behind her ear. “I like the sound
of that. It’s your turn to tell me something. What would the hero of that book
you would have read do right now?”
He’d backed her against the wall, but
not in a way that felt threatening. He was taller than she was and loomed over
her, his broad shoulders blocking most of her line of sight. She was still in
her heels and for most men that put her at eye level or taller. Not with this
one. It was nice to look up to a man for once. “I think he would invite her
back to his room where they wouldn’t shock anyone who happens to walk down the
hallway.”
He watched her like he was studying
something fascinating, something he wanted desperately to learn. “I happen to
know there are only two rooms on this floor, and I saw the couple in the other
room go upstairs a few hours ago. They seemed like they were ready for sleep.
Not that older couples can’t party the night away, too, but they didn’t seem
like the type. So we don’t have to worry about anyone catching us, though I’ll
be honest, I wouldn’t be ashamed to get caught touching you.”
He was pushing all her buttons. The
good kind. The kind that got her in trouble.
