The courageous men of USA Today bestselling
author Tina Wainscott’s Justiss Alliance series never give up and never make a
promise they can’t live up to—especially when love is on the line.
The only
commitment Saxby Cole has ever made is to the SEALs. He follows a long line of
Southern charmers who swear monogamy isn’t in their blood. He’s never met a
woman who made him want to swear his allegiance—until, while undercover for a
Justiss Alliance assignment, he finds a woman who makes him think twice.
When
Jennessy Shaw’s boyfriend dumps her right before their vacation to a hedonistic
Caribbean resort, she goes without him to explore her wild side. Throwing
caution to the wind, she propositions Saxby—only to suffer his gentle
rejection.
When she
wakes in Saxby’s room with no memory of the night before, Jennessy discovers
his real purpose: to sniff out an operation where women like her are drugged
and prostituted to resort guests. She goes from victim to his investigative
partner . . . but getting too close to the sexier-than-sin Saxby may be her
wildest move yet.
Praise for the Justiss Alliance series
“Tina Wainscott delivers high-octane suspense
and red-hot romance! Full of edge-of-your-seat action and red-hot passion, Wild
on You is a souped-up roller coaster of a page-turner.”—Julie
Ann Walker, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Black
Knights Inc. series
Jennessy gave him a sheepish look when he caught
her taking a long sip of her drink. “I don’t usually drink like this.”
“Hey, it’s a vacay. No need to explain.”
She turned so that she was facing him, her cheek
against the seat back. “I never cheated on him, not once. I wasn’t even
tempted.”
“You seem like a nice gal.” The asshat was a different
story.
Her laugh was bittersweet. “I went to Loyala
University. Loyal, get it? And I am a nice girl. A good Catholic girl. And look
what it got me.”
He hadn’t been a good Catholic anything for a long
time, having suffered through more masses and confessions than he wanted to
contemplate. “Don’t blame yourself because some guy can’t keep his pecker in
his pants.” Sax blinked at the emphatic words that shot out of his mouth. “You’ll
find a guy who’s worthy of you.”
“That’s sweet of you to say. I fell for Lane
because he was confident and charming. He was the blond-haired, blue-eyed
captain of the football team with a body like this”—she wagged the book—”and a
killer smile.”
“Oh, that type, eh?” he asked, for the first time
in twenty minutes glad that he didn’t look anything like that.
“From the moment he noticed me, I was Lane’s girl.
I convinced myself that was all I wanted. That we could stay loyal even as we
pursued degrees in separate states. And that going to some hedonistic resort
would be the answer to a relationship I had outgrown years earlier, even if I
couldn’t face the fact.” She gave him a contrite smile. “I don’t usually pour
myself out like this to strangers. Or even to friends, for that matter.” She
took another sip of her punch. “There’s something very . . . talkable about
you. Talk-to-able? I mean, you’re easy to talk to.”
Sax patted his chest. “What every guy wants to
hear.”
She laughed, loud and lusty, then covered her
mouth. “Sorry. I guess it’s not the best compliment, huh?”
He gave her a genuine smile. “I like being easy to
talk to. Go on, tell me more about Lane-with-the-lame-name-and-wandering-pecker.”
Jennessy laughed again and took another drink of
her punch, licking her lower lip. Her very luscious lip with her very pink
tongue. “I was trying to save our relationship out of some sense of holding on to
the past, I think. I decided to surprise him with a weekend visit . . . only I
got surprised too when I found him asleep in bed with another woman.” She let
out a sigh. “The funny thing was, I actually felt relieved. Hurt and angry, but
relieved, too. Maybe deep inside I knew that, beneath all of his big talk about
being loyal, he was cheating, and I wanted to catch him and get it over with.
Then, want to know what he tells me afterward? That men are just programmed to
cheat. He couldn’t help himself.”
Sax held back words he didn’t want to say in front
of a lady. “Well, it would have been nice for him to tell you his beliefs up
front. I have a good friend whose nickname in the military was Sooch, truncated
for Mr. Southern Charm. He’s part of one of those old Louisiana families, grew
up on a big plantation right on the ole Mississippi. Cheating is considered a
male family trait.”
She pursed her lips in a perfect schoolmarm
expression. “Sounds like an excuse.”
Sexy, funny and mysterious - keeps you guessing right up to the point where all the players are revealed. Can be read as a standalone, but I found it interesting enough to read the previous books in the series. The ending gives the setup for the next book in the series about Knox and Vivi - can't wait!

USA Today bestselling author Tina Wainscott has
always loved the combination of romance and suspense, because nothing
complements falling in love better than being hunted down. The author of more
than thirty novels and novellas, Wainscott creates characters with baggage,
past hurts, and vulnerabilities. They go through hell, find love, and, at the
end, find peace in who they are and everything they’ve gone through. And isn’t
that what everyone wants?
