The one woman he wants…
Shayna Macintyre has a problem…as a professional violinist her life consisted of concerts, extensive rehearsals and music. However, all that changes when she becomes the next obsession of a deranged sociopath bent on collecting her like a prize.

​

Is the one he can’t have…
Mike Royce was former CIA, until he and his partner decided it was time to retire. They say the best laid plans don’t always follow the rules when love is involved. A Statement he learns as he comes face to face with his new assignment. Keeping things professional became mission impossible and he’ll do whatever’s necessary to save Shayna…and keep her out of the clutches of the deranged man who won’t hesitate to kill anyone who gets in his way.

​

Mike hadn’t planned on what being with Shayna would do to him, but will almost losing her push him past his limits, and beyond?

The valet came to his side, while another opened Shayna’s door. Mike barely kept the instinct to growl at the man to back off from escaping. He reached over, grabbing Shayna’s arm. “Wait by the side of the car for me,” he said too low for the others to hear, then quickly exited.

​

Shayna grabbed her purse, while he grabbed his overnight bag and the small case she’d brought. He held his hand out, his look daring her. They were supposed to be a couple on holiday he’d explained on the drive. The little minx smiled up at him, then instead of grabbing his hand, her arm snaked around his waist, snuggling into him.

​

He bent, putting his lips next to her ear. “Be good, or I’ll spank that pert little ass of yours.”

​

She licked her lips. “Now that sounds fun.”

​

A groan, part lust fueled, part fear she was playing with him, bubbled out of his clenched teeth. “Oh it will be much more than fun.” He let his hand trail down her rear, giving it a little tap.

​

Her hand trailed down his back, feathering over his ass. “Promises, promises.”

​

In that moment he wanted to say screw shopping and dinner. He wanted to whisk her up to the suite he’d reserved under an alias, but then common sense prevailed. “Put a pin in this convo and we will return to it later.” That was most definitely a promise he’d love to keep.
