BLURB:
Warrior
Mine - Base Branch Novel 4
A
silver fox learns new tricks.
The
Base Branch office in Washington D.C. is so heavily fortified it makes Fort
Knox look like a 7-Eleven. After twenty years in covert ops, nothing fazes
Commander Vail Tucker. When a lightning bolt of feminine fury crashes into the
interrogation room, holds him at gunpoint, and takes over the task with his
prisoner, he’s more than surprised. She escapes without a trace, but Vail is
unable to remain dispassionate. He must know what is so important the beguiling
woman would risk her life to find it.
Carmen
Ruez is deadly and desperate—a combustible combination. Born into the remnants
of the Arellano Felix Organization, drugs and violence kept her in a gilded
cage—until a twist of fate showed her the roots of their riches, making her
yearn for freedom. She works for it. Fights for it. But her brother crosses the
line to keep her loyal to the treacherous family she is determined to leave
behind.
Following
instinct, Vail uncovers Carmen's motives and is galvanized by a protective
instinct he hadn't known he possessed. Determination and desire force them to
work together to defeat those loyal to Carlos Ruez and the AFO. But are those
traits enough to make them fight for a future together?
Excerpt:
“Pat your pockets,” she ordered.
He slapped his hips and upper thighs, since he rarely
carried anything in the front of his pants save for the occasional hard-on.
Wouldn’t you know, the beat of his hands on his lap provoked his burgeoning
erection. Like this was even on the same continent as an appropriate time.
“Hands in the air. I want a slow 360.”
When his back faced her he tried to wither his cock into
submission with a scowl, but then he met her gaze again. What little progress
he’d made reining himself in died under her gaze.
“The first two buttons on your shirt, open them.”
Vail swallowed, and licked his lips before setting to work
on the buttons. “If you’re trying to check me out, there are easier ways. Knock
on my front door and tell me to strip. Better yet, knock on my front door
naked, and—”
“I’m sure you’re quite used to that reaction from women, Commander.
But you are not my type.”
“Exactly what type am I?” he asked with a grin, pulling the
separated fabric of his shirt wide.
“The kind to shoot me in the heart the moment I take my eyes
off you.” She maintained a level gaze, refusing to look at his bare chest.
He’d sweated through his undershirt in the first session
with Ruez today. “And now what would you like me to do?” A satisfied smirk
quirked his lips.
“Bring me to Carlos Ruez.”
His smile fell, and he began refastening his shirt.
“I’ll detonate this place myself before I let you take him
out of here.”

ReplyDeleteScreen licking and cover petting are always positives!! It's the drooling you have to look out for. Keyboards and drool don't mix. I may have leaned this from experience. ;)
