I'm holding a "spread the word" contest/giveaway about Burned through my blog, and it runs until noon on September 1st, 2013. Lots of prizes to be won, including e-gift certificates to Amazon/B&N and e-books. To enter, follow this link to my blog.
Here's what Burned is all about!
A woman with a dark past…
Forced into hiding after her NSA-sanctioned task force lands on a terrorist cell’s hit list, cryptologist Zahra Gill must rely on the skill and experience of her ex-Special Ops Titanium Security teammates to keep her safe—including former Force Recon Marine Sean Dunphy. The impossibly sexy man has the unnerving ability to shatter her concentration by simply walking into the same room. Even though she’s sworn to keep him at a distance, his charm and protectiveness weaken her resistance. Drawn to his strength and magnetic sensuality, she finally gives in to the passion she’s denied herself for so long…even though she knows she might lose her heart in the process.
The man strong enough to win her trust…
Sean’s had his eye on the guarded, proud analyst from the first day they met. He knows she’s hiding something from him, but nothing could have prepared him for the shocking truth of her past. When a targeted attack brutally exposes Zahra’s dark secrets, Sean will do everything in his power to protect the woman he’s fallen for. Unfortunately the cell hunting them has powerful connections and their enemy is closer than they ever imagined.
Excerpt:
When he turned back
to her, Sean’s dark eyes glittered with an erotic heat that stole her breath.
He stood close enough that she had to tip her head back to look into his face,
and held up a chocolate covered strawberry to dangle it in front of her mouth. “Open
up, sweetness.”
Combined with the
sexual awareness in his eyes, that deeply intimate tone sent a flare of heat
into the pit of her stomach and between her thighs. Held prisoner by his
intense gaze, she parted her lips as he placed the berry against them. And he
didn’t stop the seductive move there. Instead of popping the morsel into her
mouth, he eased it partway between her teeth and held it there, watching her
closely as she bit down and sucked the juices away so they didn’t spill down
her chin. Sean flashed a predatory smile and bent his head, stopping only when
his warm breath feathered over the corner of her mouth.
“Wider.”
The erotic whisper
made her grow slick and swollen as she envisioned another naughty scenario. Him
holding his erection out to her like he was offering a treat, one hand gently
pulling her head close enough for him to brush the slick head against her
waiting lips. She shivered, struggled to concentrate.
As though he knew
what she was thinking, he smiled and pressed the berry more firmly against her
parted lips. “Come on, sweetness, open wide. I know you want it.”
God, did she. The
suggestive way he said it made her go liquid. Licking her lips, she parted her
mouth and allowed him to slide the berry in. She bit down, taking the rest of
the fruit up to the stem, closing her hand around his strong wrist to hold him
still. Meeting his stare, she boldly slid her tongue out to stroke across his
thumb and fingertip, then closed her lips around them and gave a slow, firm
suck.
