REVIEW:

I'm going to start off by saying there is not a book written by Tijan that I have not loved. She has a way with her writing that draws you in, makes you feel like you're right there with the characters, and can even have you relating to them. Have I read everything Tijan has written...yes. Did I love every single one of them...yes.
I was eagerly awaiting this story after I finished the first two books in the Fallen Crest series, and God did it not disappoint. I was lucky enough to be a part of this blog hop and review this book, and let me tell you...MAJOR book hangover. This book was filled with emotion, angst, drama, and a whole lot more.
I have loved Sam in every book, but loved that in this one she had her attitude back that was classic Sam like she was in the first book. Of course there are the high school bitches, but they added the extra "oomph" to the story. I won't ruin the story by saying much more on them and Heather, but I was feeling Sam when the whole Mason and Heather thing went down, and wished I could jump in the story and wring Heather's neck myself.
I loved how we got both Sam and Mason's POV's in this book! Have I said that I LOVE Mason?! The fact he is protective of Sam, even getting his hands dirty by taking care of a certain someone ;). Of course there is Logan, and who doesn't love him and the fact he is right there along for the ride, even when there are a little twists and turns thrown his way?! Of course there is so much more to this book, but I don't want to go on and on and inadvertently give away some key things. All I can say is READ IT! You will not be disappointed! The book definitely left me wanting more, especially with an ending like that, but I know I will not be disappointed when Tijan knocks out another Fallen Crest book, or any other book by her for that matter!
Definite 5 STAR read for me!

FALLEN CREST SERIES BOOK TRAILER







EXCERPT

My hand tightened on my bag as I crossed the parking lot. Logan’s car was still parked next to mine. What was my brother still doing here? Nate’s car was here too. Things were cold between the two, but they could joke around with each other. Still, I didn’t see them hanging out together, and I hadn’t seen either of them in the locker room. Coach needed to talk to me, and most of the guys were gone when I came out.
“Hey,” Logan spoke up, straightening from his Escalade.
I frowned. My little brother looked tired. “You need to stop with this whole sex marathon you’ve got going on.” Unlocking my car, I tossed my bag inside.
Logan rolled his eyes. “Whatever. I hear you and Sam going at it all the time. Don’t you guys take a fucking break?”
I grunted. Nice choice of words. “I can have all the sex I want with her. Know why? Because she’s my girlfriend, and I love her. I know my dick can be in her, and it’s safe. She’s safe. We’re not going to be having little Kades running around here anytime soon. Can you say the same?”
“You’re such a dick.”
“A dick that cares about you. Stop all the screwing around. You’ll catch something or you’re going to end up with a kid.”
“What’s your problem?” Logan ran a hand through his hair.
“You’re my problem. I mean it, Logan. Stop screwing around. Find a girl, get some feelings for her, and be rabbits.” He was pissed. We both knew it, but I wasn’t going to ask for the motivation of his sudden marathon. “There has to be some girl in this town that you could date who’s not Tate.”
Logan shot me a dark look. “Get over yourself. I don’t love her, and you know it.”
I narrowed my eyes, studying him before I relented. “Do whatever you want. Mom’ll love being a grandmother.”
My brother shot me a different look now, one filled with dark humor. “Can you imagine that? Helen quilting little booties for the kid? She’d flip out.”
“If we thought she went nuts after the divorce...” I chuckled. “I’ve got a feeling we haven’t seen nothing yet. She’d go ape-shit.”
“I’d feel bad for whoever the chick would be.” Logan shuddered, laughing at the same time. Then he stopped and studied me for a moment. “What are you going to do about Sam?”
The amusement was gone.
A cruel glint appeared and Logan added, “Mom’s moving back to Fallen Crest. What’s Sam going to do when you leave for college?”
I cursed. “That’s for me and Sam to deal with. You don’t need to worry about it.”
“Screw you, Mason. I care about her, too. We both know Mom’s going to want me to live with her. I, sure as shit, ain’t stepping foot in Dad’s place while he’s got Psychopath Barbie with him, and I’m not letting Sam go back there. No way in hell.”
“No way in hell?” An equally cruel look came over my face as my lips curved in a mocking smirk. “Look at you, already stepping in shoes that aren’t yours.”
“And they’re yours?”

Guest author: Laurie Roma!

I'd like to introduce the very talented Laurie Roma! She has a brand new Sci-Fi erotic romance out!!

3013: MATED is an all new Sci-fi/Futuristic/Ménage erotic romance set in the year 3013!


Alexis Donovan is a woman whose dream of falling in love with the perfect men has been dashed because of her infertile status. Still recovering from a war that almost destroyed the world, humans have fought to rebuild and have once again opened their shields to outside visitors. As a liaison officer for alien races that are visiting Earth, Alexis does her best to ignore what she can never have, but when she is put in charge of four visiting alien warriors, her entire world changes... Dragons Warriors from Arcadia, Xavier and Galan Tesera and their best friends Thorn and Brydan Volis, have been curious about Earth ever since they helped the humans defeat their enemy years ago. As commanders of their own space vessel they travel the galaxies searching out the unknown, but in their hearts they know they will never truly be satisfied without a mate by their side. When the four Dragon Warriors land on Earth they are instantly enamored with the sharp-tongued liaison who ignites a burning passion in their hearts, and know that she is the mate they have been searching for who will complete their souls. Will Alexis take a chance on four alien warriors or will the fear of leaving everything she has ever known destroy her chance of finding true love?

STORY EXCERPT “Commander, sir! The Dragon Warrior visitors have arrived early and are waiting for permission to enter the shield.” Jax heaved out a sigh. “Shit, they’re early. Ryans, open the shield and give them the coordinates over the Capital where they can enter our airspace. Have them land here in Dock C.” “Right away, Commander Spartan.” Officer Ryans relayed the information into his comms as he typed frantically on the tablet he held in his hand. “Well, it looks like I’ll be acting as liaison after all,” Alexis said nervously. She’d thought she would have a few days to sort out the assignment, but it didn’t seem like that was an option anymore. Even though she was a little worried, a part of her was excited to spend some time with visitors from Arcadia. She’d studied the Dragon Warriors, but had never actually met one in person. Suck it up, she told herself. Shaking off her nerves, she straightened to her full height. She was a top-level officer for god’s sake. She could…would handle this assignment. Jax crossed his arms over his chest as his eyes narrowed. “I still don’t like this, Lex. I never thought Farris would be stupid enough to assign one of our female officers for this visit. You don’t have to take this assignment if you’re uncomfortable with it. I can order a replacement. Taking care of four men would be difficult for anyone.” “I believe she will be more than capable.” The deep voice that sounded out right behind her had Alexis spinning around, one hand on the hilt of the blaster at her hip. No one could have snuck up on both her and Jax without making a sound, not with their training. But someone had. Oh, my stars… Her eyes widened at the sight of the four giant warriors that seemed to appear right out of one of her wildest, sex-starved fantasies. Standing at well over seven feet tall, far bigger than any of the elite soldiers she was used to being around, the four men towered over her with their powerfully built frames. They each wore black leather pants paired with matching soft leather vests that left their muscular arms bare, except for the dark gold and silver tribal-looking tattoos that started on their shoulders and covered their skin down to their wrists. The marking were similar to the tattoos wore by the elite soldiers that had formed a bonding unit with a claimed woman, except the Dragon Warriors’ were more far more elaborate in detail. Obviously two sets of brothers, the first pair of warriors had long black hair that flowed loose around their broad shoulders while the other two males had dark brown hair. Each of the males had two small braids fashioned at the sides of their temples, framing strong, perfectly sculpted faces. They had powerful, chiseled jaws, high cheekbones, and lush, sensual lips that she couldn’t help but wonder how they would feel pressed against hers. Alexis’ breath caught as four pairs of glowing eyes focused directly on her. The two warriors with black hair stared at her with eyes that glowed a bright silver, while the other two had iridescent golden eyes. It was like looking at the sun and moon, and those glowing eyes seemed to pierce straight into her soul. The alien warriors ignored the elite soldiers converged in a circle around them, and continued watching her with some sort of intense scrutiny she didn’t understand. It was a struggle, but Alexis tore her gaze away from them, finally able to take a deep breath now that she had broken the thrall they seemed to have over her. She frowned as she looked around at the soldiers training their weapons on the newcomers. It wasn’t often that alien visitors had the ability to transport themselves right onto the Earth’s surface, but when they did it made most soldiers nervous. Officer Ryans stared at the alien warriors in awe, as did many of the other soldiers. Hell, Alexis had to admit she was still staring at them herself. They were truly an impressive sight. She looked back up at the giant warriors and saw what could only be described as amusement on the face of the male with golden eyes standing on the far right, while the male with silver eyes on the far left surveyed the soldiers with narrowed eyes. No matter the relaxed stances the visitors had taken, Alexis could sense that they were prepared for anything. It was in their tightly coiled muscles and their watchful gazes. The two warriors in the middle ignored their surroundings, never once looking away from her. Both of their gazes were like a physical caress over her skin and her body heated in response. The intensity of their focus made her feel vital and alive. Christ, her reaction to them was completely inappropriate, but she couldn’t help but imagine seeing their impressive bodies without clothing, sliding against hers. Focus, Donovan. “Perhaps we should say we come in peace,” the golden-eyed brother on the right said with a sardonic smile. ADULT EXCERPT “I want you,” she whispered, her voice shaking with nerves. “I do want all four of you, but I’m scared about what will happen…” “Then let this be enough for now,” Galan replied. She nodded and watched as both of their silver eyes blazed with a hunger. Her breath caught as Galan’s lips came down to meet hers, taking her in a soft, searing kiss that make her tremble. Alexis angled her head, needing to get closer to him and gasped as she felt Xavier come up behind her, reaching around to cup her full breasts in his large hands. She lost herself in the kiss, immersing herself in the feel of them, loving their hands on her body. When she pulled back, she blinked in surprise as she suddenly realized that Xavier had removed her uniform top and bra while she had been busy kissing Galan. Her skin was flush with arousal, her nipples hard points that were aching to be touched. As if sensing what she wanted, Galan lowered to his knees in front of her. “These are perfect,” he purred moving his head to suck her nipples. Her head fell back on Xavier’s chest, trusting him to hold her up as Galan sucked on one nipple then switched to the other, lashing the taut bud with his tongue before sucking hard. She could feel each pull of his mouth like a lightning bolt that shot straight to her core. Xavier turned her head and settled his mouth over hers, forcing his tongue deep with a growl that made her weak with need. They were taking her over and she let them. Galan’s hands made quick work removing her boots then he went to work on her pants, also pulling her panties down her legs so she was standing naked between them. “You are a vision, sweetling. A dream come true,” Galan said reverently. “Perfection,” Xavier agreed with a rumbling purr. “I cannot wait to feel your beautiful body welcoming me inside you.” Their words made her shiver and she gripped Xavier’s head, pulling it back down to her so she could kiss him again. More, she needed more. Sharp hunger drove Alexis to rub her body back against Xavier, loving the feel of his steel- hard erection against her back. They were so much bigger than her, but she felt completely safe in their arms, sheltered between them. A gasp tore from her lips as Xavier lowered his hand between her legs, circling her clit with his finger. Xavier drank down her moan as he pushed two fingers into her slick heat. She was dripping wet, and it pleased him to feel how much she wanted them. Never before had just seeing a female made his cock grow hard as stone. He let out a growl as he stared down at her beautiful body, running one of his hands over her lush curves and hips as he used his other to push his fingers inside her. His body trembled with need to take her…to bend her over the couch and ram his cock deep into her tight pussy until he filled her with his seed, but she wasn’t ready yet. They were so much bigger than their tiny mate, and he knew his large cock would hurt her if she wasn’t prepared to take him. “So wet,” Xavier purred against her ear. “Do you like the pleasure we are giving you, little one? Tell us. Tell us what you want, Alexis.” “Oh, god. I want you,” she panted, moaning as he began to finger fuck her faster as Galan went back to work sucking on her nipples. “Please, Xavier. Please…” “You shall have us,” Xavier promised in a dark, heated growl. He wrapped his other arm around her middle, holding her back against him. “We will fill you so full you will not remember what it is like not to have us inside you, but first we need to make you come. Our cocks are large and we do not want to hurt you.” “I have lube in a drawer by my bed in the other room,” she explained then winced at how that sounded. “Most relationships now are ménage so I’ve been with two men at—” Both males snarled, cutting her off. “We do not want to hear about you with any other males. You belong to us now,” Xavier growled dangerously. Alexis felt something inside of her shift. Normally, that kind of statement would have put her back up, but coming from them, it only enhanced her need. She wanted to belong to them. Everything they had said to her was like something out of her wildest fantasy. It was almost unimaginable how four strong Dragon Warriors would want someone like her when they could have anyone they wanted. She pushed that thought away, simply letting herself enjoy the moment as she ground her ass back against Xavier, making him suck in a harsh breath. “Then take me,” she challenged.

Cover Reveal: Melissa's Fate by Kristin Elyon

Excerpt
 “It’s just a little ice,” he spoke in a low, seductive manner.  Taking the cube of ice, he brought it from her pussy, to her bountiful melon shaped breasts.  As he locked his eyes on hers, David traced along the perimeter of her now hardened nipples.Mel moaned in delight, as he masked the chill of the ice with the warmness of his tongue.  “Whoa!” she cringed, taking another deep breath.  Her juices were slowly making their way from the top of her spine, down her back and crashing down between her legs.David was an expert at this beyond any doubt and he basked in the knowledge that he was pleasuring her, immensely.  His sweet caresses became more intense as he rolled his tongue over an around her hardened nipple. Tearing his lips away from her, he allowed a few droplets of the water to sip from the melting ice cube to her overly sensitive peak.  As the cold liquid, landed on her, a jolt of pleasure cut through Mel.  Once again, her breath caught in her throat, when he took her nipple into the warmness of his mouth, sucking hard and amplifying her desire for himWhen he suddenly withdrew himself and took her into his arms again, she almost cursed him for stopping.  However, she quickly realized that they were simply moving to his bedroom.

Excerpt:
“These graphics suck,” George says and I look back at the screen. We’re standing in the middle of the Estate, colorful orbs quivering ahead of us. We each have to choose our starting advantage. Waterfalls shimmer in the distance and the sunlight streams over multicolored stones in the courtyard. “Amateurs,” Lanyon concurs. “I mean, they couldn’t have five waterfalls?”“Your ironic wit is mind blowing, but choose your damn orbs,” I tell them. I consider. Magic, defense, offense, stealth, and charisma. I always go for magic as a black mage, but I wonder if a druid needs something else. Screw it. I need charisma in real life, too. “Charisma?” Lanyon asks. “No one ever picks charisma.”“We’re a party of a thief, druid, and a bard. We’re screwed regardless.”“You two underestimate the mighty power of my lute,” George argues. “Did you start with charisma?” Lanyon asks. “Hell, no. I have charisma in spades. I started with stealth.”“Great. A stealthy bard,” I sigh. “She’s right,” Lanyon concedes. “We’re screwed.”However, it actually isn’t bad at all at first. We power through the Estate and make it to the Yobanaria Dale with no resurrections and all at level ten. I’m impressed. George hasn’t actually fought anything, but he has some pretty awe-inspiring charm mastery already. I think I might have a serious crush. He seals the deal when he buffs my hailstorm spell without even being asked. “Can you guys watch El Thiefelo? My mom wants me to eat supper,” Lanyon says. “Yeah, we’ve got it,” I tell him. “The first boss is in the elven ruins anyway, so we should grind a bit. I think he’s a twelve.”George and I explore the Dale, taking out bats and Joba spores. It’s fairly quiet, except for when we combo with his charms and my spells and he yells out, “Eat lute, bitch,” but it’s nice. We work well, almost inherently understanding each other. I’ve never been able to play this effectively with anyone. I try not to think about his eyes. Stupid boys, being cute and stuff. By the time Lanyon comes back, we’re all at level 12, although Lanyon leveled up just by standing by a door while we played. Still, we are ready to take on Balsa the Proud. As a black mage, it took me about nine seconds. Trees don’t like fire. However, druids don’t have the same level of black magic and all elemental magic is weakened by the need to draw from the elements nearby. Sadly, trees seem to avoid storing fire runes in their villages. I expect this to be a little more challenging. It might even take fifteen seconds. “First boss. Also known as the freebie bitch to sucker the young folks into a false sense of security,” Lanyon announces as he runs into the center of Balsa’s lair. The cinema plays and then, in a moment of pure absurdity, El Thiefelo is squished as Balsa steps on him. “Can someone revive me?” Lanyon whines.

Guest author, Doris O'Connor

Thanks so much for having me here today, Jenika. :)What would happen if****
Seriously?Kathy had definitely lost the plot. Mr. Sex-on-Legs Sven Larsson had been checking her out—as if!"Are you hearing yourself? Why on earth would a fancy, schmanzy film star be checking me out? And, even if he was, why on earth would I let a man with his reputation anywhere near me?" ****Why indeed? In her effort to get away from the ridiculous situation she bumps into none other than the very man she's trying to avoid, and is utterly floored by his charisma.Damn her inherent submissive side that cannot help but respond to the Dom in Sven, when she so cannot afford to let herself pursue this thing between them. However, when she wakes up to the sight of a naked Sven in his Suite at the Savoy, well…Did they, didn't they, and why can she not remember anything? Meanwhile, a furious Sven assumes she is just another money grabbing female when the pictures of their night together hit the newsstands, but he cannot get her out of his mind either.There is only one thing he can do. Try and get her out of his system by screwing her senseless, but then there is the small matter of her past…and her children…her inherent submissiveness that raises every one of his protective instincts.The Dom in him simply cannot walk away.
Blurb:When International movie star Sven Larsson meets young widowed mum of three, Sylvia, the sexual chemistry between them is instant and explosive, and plastered all over the papers. Sven needs to repair his damaged reputation. The last thing he needs is another scandal, but the Dom in him can't resist the challenge Sylvia represents.Having survived an abusive marriage, Sylvia is not looking for another relationship, let alone a kinky one with a man of Sven's reputation. Her submissive side can't help but be drawn to him, however, especially once she gets to know the man behind the public image. This private, broken, Sven she cannot help but fall in love with, even if he doesn't do love.With the paparazzi breathing down their necks at every turn, and past demons raising their ugly heads, will they ever be able to find happiness?Excerpt:
"Like what you see?"                                                   Sylvia wrenched her gaze upwards to meet his eyes. He was watching her reaction from under heavy lidded eyes filled with lust and a grim determination that frightened her a little."Sven, I don't think I could…"Before she could even blink he was on the bed next to her, matching his long length to her much smaller frame. He grasped her wrists in one hand again and pinned her arms above her head. With a wicked smile he used just one finger of his free hand to slowly travel up the inside of her thigh. The slight pressure was torture, and by the time his thumb flicked her clit, she was a quivering mass of feminine excitement. How did he do that? Was it the unwavering focus with which he watched her reaction, or simply the way he once again had her pinned, unable to move?"Trust me, baby, you can, and you will."The kiss that followed seemed never-ending. In direct contrast to his earlier urgency, he took his time exploring the inside of her mouth with a breathtaking thoroughness that spoke of ownership. The more she tried to hurry him, the slower he went, pressing his heavy body on top of hers, until the whole word narrowed to just the feel of him. Every stroke, nip and suckle of his oh so talented tongue, stoked the slow burning fire in her core to fever pitch, and her hips bucked wildly, needing his touch.He straddled her, effectively stopping her from moving and looked down on her."Take it easy, we have all night, my little firecracker. We'll do this my way, and unless you want me spanking that delicious ass of yours until it matches the color of your lips, you will not rush me."Sylvia couldn't stop her sharp intake of breath, and Sven's gaze grew even more heated."Oh, I see, you like that idea, do you?""N-no … I don't.""Liar." He whispered the word and lifted off her just enough to cup her swollen pussy. Sylvia swallowed her groan as he swiped his fingers through the wet evidence of her arousal, and then lifted his glistening fingers up for her to see.He licked them clean and hummed his approval."Hmm, delicious. If you don't like the idea of my hand on your ass, then why are you this wet?"Sylvia had no answer for that, so she just shook her head."I don’t know. I don't like violence."She screwed her eyes shut and pushed the memories away. They had no place here, none at all, damn it."Neither do I, my sweet, but I think we need to do something to stop those thoughts swirling in your head. Look at me."His voice had dropped an octave, the cadence of it so compelling that Sylvia had no choice but to comply."Bad memories?" he asked.At her tiny nod he sighed and bent to kiss the tears off her face. She hadn't even been aware of shedding them."I can help you with that, if you trust me?"He went so still towering above her, she couldn’t be sure he was even breathing, and when she nodded again his smile of approval made her worries float away. "Good girl, now roll over."He released her completely, and she felt suddenly bereft without his comforting presence. She awkwardly complied and jumped when he grabbed her ass and squeezed. Instead of the hit she was expecting, however, he moved his hands up to her shoulders and kissed her neck. Tiny butterfly kisses followed down her exposed back until he reached the zipper of her dress. With agonizing slowness he peeled her out of her dress, murmuring encouragement when she helped him by lifting her arms and finally her hips, until she lay face down on the bed with just her bra still on.Much to her surprise he left it in place and continued to run his hands up and down her back and over the curve of her ass. The strokes grew harder, leaving tingles of awareness in their wake, and the last of her anxiety fled.Heat suffused her whole being, and she raised her butt into his hands, willing him to delve lower between her legs, where she practically ached for his touch.He slapped her lightly on one ass cheek, and she froze."If this gets too much, just call red, and I stop, okay?"She nodded, and a harder swat followed to her other butt cheek, which this time stung."I can't hear you.""Yes, okay, errr, Sir?"His laugh in answer confused her. He fisted his hand in her hair and pulled her head up to study her."Very nice, but that's not really a salutation I've earned yet, and this is just a little spanking. I don't think either of us is ready for anything else right now, are we?"She blinked, and the red hot stab of disappointment coursing through her veins took her breath away."If we were to go down that route, we would have to discuss a lot of things first, my sweet. I'm not sure I want to do that. Let's not assume titles and just enjoy ourselves, shall we? Unless this is something you need to—""No, I don't. I mean, I'm perfectly happy with vanilla. I just thought that's what you wanted. I mean … I…"Her voice trailed off when his expression darkened."I thought you don't read the papers, lady.""I-I don't, but there's been rumors and, well, I do have some experience."She mentally crossed her fingers at her fib. Sylvia had experience and then some, but he was right. She was so not ready to have that discussion now. It would dredge up a past she didn't need to remember, not now.The tight set of his shoulders relaxed slightly, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't want to piss him off, and she was suddenly desperate to see if this would be as erotic as it had been—before Richard. "So, you're familiar with the traffic lights then?" he finally asked with a small smile."Yes, Si… I mean, yes I am."                         Heat rose in her cheeks under his quiet regard, and finally he nodded."So be it. I trust you to use it, not that I have any intention of being too hard on you, but I've fantasized about reddening that delicious ass of yours since I met you."He laughed at her astonished snort in response."You have?" she asked, not really believing a word of it. He had to be kidding. "No need to humor me. In case you haven’t noticed I'm in your bed and a pretty safe bet by now, you know."His expression darkened again, and her stomach dropped in delicious anticipation."For that inane comment you've just earned yourself some extra spanks. We'll have to work on that warped self-image of yours. You're a beautiful, desirable woman."****Available from: http://www.evernightpublishing.com/For all other buy links, please check out my book page: http://www.dorisoconnor.com/the-housewife-and-the-film-star.htmlAuthor BioGlutton for punishment would be a good description for Doris... at least that's what she hears on an almost daily basis when people find out that she has a brood of nine children, ranging from adult to toddler and lives happily in a far too small house, cluttered with children, pets, dust bunnies, and one very understanding and supportive husband. Domestic goddess she is not.There is always something better to do after all, like working on the latest manuscript and trying not to scare the locals even more than usual by talking out loud to the voices in her head. Her characters tend to be pretty insistent to get their stories told, and you will find Doris burning the midnight oil on a regular basis. Only time to get any peace and quiet and besides, sleep is for wimps.She likes to spin sensual, sassy, and sexy tales involving alpha heroes to die for, and heroines who give as good as they get. From contemporary to paranormal, BDSM to F/F, and Ménage, haunting love stories are guaranteed.Stalking LinksWebsite BlogTwitter  Facebook Pinterest  Evernight Publishing               Amazon All Romance E-Books BookStrand Barnes&Noble

NEW RELEASE: The Brothers' Virgin Captive (The Virgin Auctions)

Just released, the fifth (stand alone) installment ni the Virgin Auctions series!

The Brothers' Virgin Captive


Anna Milovich was born to be in the virgin auctions whether she liked it or not. When it's her turn to stand on the auction block she is horrified to find out her future husband is a sadistic and cruel man. But then she is drugged and kidnapped and taken away from the only life she has ever known. She just doesn't know if it's a blessing or a nightmare.
Anna realizes it isn't just one brother that has her, but two, and one of them is the only man she has ever wanted—Luca Graison. With fear of being found by her family and the man that bought her, she has no choice but to let the Graison brothers protect and take care of her. She may have always dreamed of her independence, but Anna can't deny the comfort she feels surrendering her mind and body to the brothers.
