Protecting her past will destroy her future.
Excerpt:
Entering the kitchen to the fragrance of bacon frying,
and warmed maple syrup, Jessie squealed. “Are you making my favorite
breakfast?”
“Yep. Cinnamon French Toast coming up in five.”
“You’re my hero.”
“Hey, I was your hero last night.”
“And that designation has survived the light of day.
Congratulations, it’s official.”
She lifted her face to receive his kiss and wasn’t
disappointed. Mark was a great lover, but he was an unsurpassed smoocher,
caressing her lips as his tongue soothed tender flesh, seeking the dark warmth
beyond. He deepened, and then lightened his kiss until there was no option but
to separate. The man put his heart and soul in that kiss.
She tasted him from her lips. “Mmm.”
“Woman, you’re going to be the death of me. Now I’m as
hard as nails and don’t have time to take care of it. I should swat your
behind.”
“No way, I’m sore, but I can offer you a raincheck.”
Jessie reached over to snag her plate of breakfast.
“That’s one I’ll be sure to redeem.”
“I’m counting on it.”
Jessie loved Cinnamon French Toast, and she made
sounds of satisfaction that would compete with her moans when he loved her.
Mark’s laugh was a bit forced. “I wish I’d chosen
another breakfast. You think you know what you’re doing, Minx, but I promise
you, I can make you sorry you teased the tiger.”
“I don’t know what you mean?” her innocent-sounding
response was anything but, and she loved they could tease. Her past boyfriends
were not able to handle it. Mark was made of tougher stuff.
“If this is your way of payback for spanking your ass
last night, you go right ahead because I can repeat that little scene tonight
if you like.”
Her belly dropped a foot. “No, thank you.” She glanced
at his hard-on that was difficult to hide. Yeah,
she’d stop.
Blurb:
With lives in the balance, what could she do but comply with their
demands?
Accountant Jessica Roe kept her head down and always
followed the rules. When she discovered possible illegal activity with her
employer, she left that job and joined Reynaud and Associates. Life was good,
her brother hadn’t asked for money in months and she was now dating Mark
Jensen. Within one week: her brother needed money, her old employer was trying
to blackmail her, and she was nearly raped and killed. Not only is her savings
at risk, but her relationship with Mark, her job with Reynaud and Associates,
her friends, and her life.
Mark Jensen worked hard and played harder, preferring
one-night stands to anything long term, until he hooked up with the company
accountant. Jessie is a sassy, sweet, rule follower with a deep-seated
loneliness about her that is unlike any woman he’s dated. She has stolen his
heart. Just when Mark had finally convinced Jessie to move in with him, her
brother has more than money problems to lay at his sister’s door. Suddenly,
Jessie is over her head and making all the wrong decisions while trying to
protect her new friends, brother, and lover.
When Jessie’s past and present puts her in the middle of
international illegal trade, it will take the whole team to keep her safe while
they figure out the details and bring this operation to a crashing halt.
This is book two in the Safe and Secure series but can be

About the Author:
USA Today and International best-selling author, Alyssa
Bailey, is a dyed in the wool Texan living amongst the beauty of Southeast
Alaska. She lives where the sky meets the mountains; the mountains touch the
ocean, and the wildlife frolic on land, sea, and air. Humans, the ultimate
interlopers, are wedged in where allowed and are properly thankful for the
privilege.
Alyssa loves writing about consensual power exchanges
between strong, intelligent, sassy women who are not afraid to make a stand and
men confident enough to give his woman space, but Alpha enough to keep her
safe.
If she can throw a little mystery, humor, and suspense in
her stories, it’s even better. She writes historical and contemporary love
stories devised to leave you with that book
hangover we crave.
