RELEASE DATE: January 13th,
2015
Olivia Dare, executive director of the
Miami Thunder, and team travel director Dylan Rhodes share more than just a passion
for football. Their chemistry is explosive -- their
feelings for each
other intense. Yet Olivia has ended things for reasons he
still can’t fathom
and she won’t explain.
Unwilling to let something special
go so easily, Dylan has been pursuing Olivia ever since. When the Pro-Bowl takes
them to the tropical paradise of Hawaii, Dylan is determined
to make sure their
time together isn’t all business. What happens in paradise
is life altering
but once Olivia admits her deepest secret and fear, will Dylan
still want the
forever he’s been pushing for?
EXCERPT
Ian glanced around the now
empty room before speaking. “I realize I’m in no position to
judge relationships
in the work place.”
Hell no, considering Ian had
pursed his now-wife, Riley, brought her into the business,
and promoted her,
Dylan thought.
As for Olivia … “There is no relationship.”
“But you want there to be
one. And my sister isn’t cooperating. Am I
right?”
When Dylan didn’t reply, Ian
continued. “I saw you two in the hallway. At the
party.”
Dylan blew out a long breath.
“Not that I owe you an explanation but nothing happened.” He ran a hand over his
goatee, buying time.
“Bullshit. I saw the
kiss.”
Dylan inclined his head.
“Fine.”
He knew Ian was overprotective
of his sisters. He even understood the man’s reasons. For
that reason alone,
Dylan wouldn’t lose his temper
now.
“Look, you’re my friend.
More than that, I respect you as my boss. But whatever is or
isn’t going on with
me and Olivia … that’s none of your
business.”
Ian eyed him through his
infamous narrowed gaze, assessing him, causing Dylan to
straighten his
shoulders and meet his stare head
on.
Ian cleared his throat. “My
sister is tough on the outside but she’s … more fragile
inside,” he said,
clearly considering his words
carefully.
“Your point?” Dylan asked
the other man.
“Don’t play with her head or
her heart.”
Dylan inclined his head.
Unknowingly, Ian had just reaffirmed that whatever kept
Olivia at arms
length, it had nothing to do with business. If anything, she
felt too much or
she wouldn’t have run.
“We good?” Ian
asked.
“Always.”
“Then good luck in Hawaii,”
Ian said, turned and walked out the door, leaving Dylan alone
to strategize his
next step.
Dylan wasn’t the type to give up
on something he wanted. He’d been too soft with Olivia,
giving her space,
figuring she’d give in to chemistry eventually. Obviously
that wasn’t going
to happen. He needed to take control and should have done it
sooner. Where
better than the tropical paradise of Hawaii to make his
intentions crystal
clear.
Yes they were going to
Hawaii on business, but she was interested in enjoying the
island. They were
staying in the same hotel and attending the same events. That
added up to
opportunity and Dylan wasn’t above taking advantage if it meant
getting what he
wanted. And he wanted Olivia.

After ending a relationship to a cheating,
domineering man, Isabelle Masters takes off in her leased Mercedes, only to be
arrested for grand theft and hauled to a local police station. To her surprise,
she is rescued by the most unlikely person possible, Gabriel Dare, a man she’s
been attracted to for far too long. Gabe offers Isabelle freedom along with an
invitation to Eden, an exclusive island resort where everything and anything is
possible.
Although Gabe yearns to possess Isabelle, he knows
all too well he must fight his primitive need to bind her to him, and instead
help bring out the independent woman she yearns to become – or risk losing her
for good.
A woman who needs to run her own life. A man who
needs to exert control. Can she surrender to his erotic demands without losing
her sense of self once more?
Decklan Dare knows about the unexpected loss of
loved ones and for this reason, he values control in all areas of his life.
Amanda Collins enjoys the freedom she finds in casual encounters without the
emotional connection a relationship brings. They meet and their physical
attraction is mutual but both experience feelings that could run deeper – if
they drop their guard and let each other in. Decklan is first to trust, but
when he discovers the secret Amanda’s been hiding, will he forgive? Or will he
rebuild every wall before she has a chance to
explain?
