Book Description:
Wall Street meets the Sons of Anarchy in Damage Control, the smoldering, scorching next novel in the explosively sexy Dirty Money series.
The only thing more dangerous than a dark secret is a damaged heart…
Shane Brandon has been pushed to the brink, torn between his corrupt family and his explosive, all-consuming desire for Emily Stevens, who he now knows is not who, and what, she seems. Has he trusted the wrong person? Will she, not his brother Derek, be the ultimate destruction of his family Empire?
Emily tries to run from Shane, but he will stop her, confront her, force her to reveal all — one hot touch and kiss at a time, under every intimate detail of who this woman is, and what she wants, is exposed. But as he tears away the dangers of the unknowns with the woman in his bed, and in his heart, The Martina Cartel has set their sights on his company, his family, and the one piece of leverage they believe he won’t gamble with: Emily.

Excerpt:
“You
make me remember I need to be good and right in my choices.”
“Do
you ever question doing what is good and right?”
“There
have been times when I felt like my hand was forced.”
“When
you were a lawyer?”
“No,”
I say. “I manipulated the law, as does every attorney, but I never broke it.
I’m talking about when I’m with my family.”
“Did
you go where they lead?”
“Not
so far.”
“That
sounds like you might.”
“I
don’t want to be them.”
“You
aren’t them. You don’t have to be them.”
“I
know that,” I say. “But you just keep telling me so I don’t forget.” Her legs
hit the bed frame and she grips my arms.
I
lean into a kiss and she pulls back, her hand pressing on my chest. “Wait. Now
it’s my turn to say talk to me. Are you okay?”
“Death
happened. The one thing I can’t control. It’s not the night to push me to stop
protecting you. Not tonight. Can you do that?”
“Yes.
We can.”
“We,”
I repeat, “and that word sounds as good on my tongue as I know you’re going to
taste. I’m going to make love to you properly. The way I plan to many times in
our future.” I reach down and untie her robe, letting it fall open; my fingers
sliding underneath just far enough to tease her nipples. They pucker beneath my
touch, and her lashes flutter, settling on her cheeks. “But when it’s over, I’m
going to fuck you hard and fast again.”
I
tug gently on her nipples and she bites her lips. “Look at me,” I order gently.
She
opens her eyes, and there is desire in their depths, but there are shadows
there too,. I do not think she intends for me to see doubt or uncertainty that
wasn’t there before. That I do not like or wish to know ever again. I want it
gone. Now. Tomorrow. Forever. I reach up and rip the silk tie from her robe,
wrapping it around my hand, before I reach up and caress the robe off her
shoulder, letting it tumble to the ground.
“Give
me your hands,” I order, but it’s really a question: Does she still trust me?
She
studies me for several beats, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly, and I do not
know what she sees in mine, but she offers me her hands. I wrap the silk around
her wrists then lean in close to her, my cheek against her cheek, my body
touching her nowhere else. “Now you’re at my mercy.”
“Yes,”
she agrees. “I am.”
“How
do you feel about that?”
“Warm.”
My
lips curve with the answer that is every bit the combination of sweet sexy
honesty I’ve come to expect from her. “I’m going to make you warmer.”
“Promise?”
I go
still with that question, which on the surface is innocent, but I wonder if it
truly is or if it’s about those shadows in her eyes. “I promise,” I say. “And
you know, I never—”
“Make
a promise you don’t keep.”
“Exactly,”
I say, and her reference to my previous words tells me that I am not the only
one on a mission of trust, and I intend to deserve hers.
I
bring my hands to just above her shoulders, letting them lightly touch her
before beginning a slow caress downward. She makes a soft little sound that has
my cock thickening and my blood running hot, but I won’t rush this. My lips
follow, tracing a line down one of her arms, then the other. I lean and caress
my lips over hers, a feather light touch that teases me, if not her.
I
take her hands in mine, pressing them behind her head. “Hold them there, for
me, so I can see all of you. Understand?”
“You
intend to tease me incessantly,” she says, without so much as a hint of
hesitation. “Yes. I understand.”
I
wrap my arm around her waist and pull her naked body against me, my free hand
on hers above her head, our mouths a breath apart. “I intend to lick every part
of you, and then do it again, so yes. If that’s the definition of incessant
teasing, then yes. I am going to tease you incessantly.” I close my mouth down
on hers, my tongue licking into her mouth, a deep, hungry tasting I force
myself to end far too quickly. “That was the beginning. Should I could
continue?”
“Yes.
Please.”
“Please,”
I say. “I like that.”
