Blurb:
As a computer hacker, she demands justice.
As a woman, she craves two powerful and commanding men.
Shana’s been
hacking one of Manhattan’s most corrupt executives, making him pay for what he’s
done to his victims. Using her skills, she convinces Mike and Cody to hire her
at their intelligence-gathering firm, where intimate details help their
clients.
Never has Mike met
a woman as delicious as Shana. Smart as hell, curvy and assured, she’d be a
delightful challenge in bed. Cody’s carnal hunger is equally intense. He and
Mike want to know everything about her.
She won’t divulge
the secrets of her past. All she can offer is unquenchable desire and her
heart.
During weeks of
shameless lust and pleasure, Mike and Cody peel away the layers of Shana’s
life. The stunning truth changes everything. They’ll do all that they can to
keep her safe…and in their arms.
Excerpt:
Neither Mike Russo
nor Cody Latham had expected her to show up in their conference room.
Of course, they
wouldn’t have, given the various laws she’d broken to be here.
Shana Gallagher’s
pulse ticked up another notch at that and their good looks. Virile and
commanding. They were deliciously hot and smart, having once worked in military
intelligence.
Mike, the
proverbially tall, dark and handsome hunk, had found his way into government
via his MIT training. He’d left DC five years ago to start his own firm. Now
thirty-three, he regarded Shana with momentary surprise then male interest as
his attention raked over her.
Despite her best
intentions, Shana’s skin tingled.
To his side was Cody.
Equally impressive at thirty-four, he forgot to take a sip of his coffee. The
Starbucks cup was inches from his mouth as he also took her in. Quietly and
restrained.
Shana’s belly
quivered at the heat in his gaze, so at odds with his military background. It
showed in the set of his broad shoulders and modified buzz cut, his hair short
on the sides with volume on top. Those dark blond locks complemented his golden
skin and hazel eyes.
Mike’s were
greenish-gray, an arresting color given his olive complexion and chestnut hair,
a bit longish and casually styled. Several strands dangled over his forehead,
begging a woman to ease them back.
Currents of warmth
rippled through Shana, leaving her cruelly weak. She hadn’t expected to react
like this. During her research on them, she’d seen hundreds of their photos,
including those not meant for the public. Their days spent with women, outdoors
at the beach or sailing, both men’s hard bodies stripped to their swim trunks
and bared to the sun. Mike’s bold tattoo on his left bicep. The cruel scar on
Cody’s right pec that enhanced his masculinity.
None of those
pictures had done them justice.
“Mr. Russo, Mr.
Lathan,” the office manager murmured, her somber hush appropriate for this
high-priced firm in New York’s Financial District. Dressed in a severe gray
suit, the matronly woman smelled funereal, of incense and carnations. She
inclined her perfectly coiffed head to Shana. “Ms. Gallagher, your four
o’clock.”
Before Mike or Cody could say “huh” or “who?” Shana stepped deeper
into the yawning room. It was possibly two thousand square feet and decorated
in a combination of rose, beige and brown, its bank of windows offering a
spectacular view of the harbor. An NYPD boat and cruises packed with tourists
cut through the water, leaving foamy trails. Sunlight winked off those swells
and the glass buildings, giving the early September day a dreamy, golden haze.
The door clicked shut behind Shana, leaving her alone with the
men.
Mike pushed to his feet, his six-three frame superbly clothed in
an Italian suit that probably cost five grand. Its subtle navy tones and his
pale blue shirt heightened the effect of his sapphire tie. Cody’s was
gray-and-white striped, his shirt charcoal, his suit a pewter color.
Surprisingly fashionable given his conservative background.
He stood. His height matched Mike’s. Both men were lean yet
muscular.
Power and male privilege radiated from them. Everything Shana had
always mistrusted and despised. She couldn’t quite manage those feelings now.
She knew far too much about them. They were surprisingly good men, downright
decent, which added to their seductive allure and had brought her here.
Shana crossed the room, forcing herself to walk casually as though
she belonged. The slit in her pencil skirt allowed the black fabric to fall
away from her leg, exposing a bit of her thigh. Mike and Cody’s attention
dropped to her sheer stockings and spike heels.
Hard carnal interest flared on their faces.
A curious mixture of pleasure and caution rushed through Shana,
draining her strength. She put her leather tote on the granite table, the
smooth stone a soft rose color speckled with gray, black and brown.
The moment she slipped her hand under the tote’s flap, Mike said,
“Hold it right there.”
He’d spoken quietly. However, his deep baritone filled the
impressive space, demanding obedience.
Shana calmed herself as well as she could and lifted her face to
his. At this hour, stubble shadowed his upper lip, chin and cheeks. His lashes
were unspeakably long. His attention moved from the tote to her silk blouse,
the color of black cherries. No one had to tell Shana that her nipples were
hard and jutting against the fabric. Suddenly, Mike couldn’t seem to look
anywhere else.
A wave of heat rushed to her neck, her arousal unruly.
He cleared his throat. His prominent Adam’s apple bobbed with his
swallow. “Who are you?”
Time for the truth. Sort of.
