A Fallen Star…
A hot-mess of controversy and scandal, Dakota Breeze—tarnished pop star of fading fame and fortune—accepts a friend’s offer, taking refuge in a small Midwestern town in order to rehearse her comeback concert in secret. Starstruck is the perfect venue however rehearsals are marred by Dakota’s reluctance to resurrect her former bad-girl persona and complicated by an anonymous death threat.
A Haunted Bodyguard…
Enlisted by a mutual friend, Wyatt MacDermott—a seasoned protection specialist—agrees to act as Dakota’s temporary bodyguard. Forced to set aside a personal grudge in order to fulfill his duties, Mac’s stunned by his fierce and instant attraction to the reckless celebrity he’s long associated with his greatest regret.
Obsessed with conflicting needs and united passion, Dakota and Wyatt spin out of control, indulging in a whirlwind affair and tempting an avenger’s wrath.
As soon as Mac locked the door, Dakota
turned and backed him against the wall. “You may not care about the order, but
I do. You can ask me anything you want. After,” she said while working the
buttons of his white shirt. “Knowing me could be a total turn off.
Considering we’re hot and bothered now let’s do thisnow.
I—”
“What happened to
not talking this to death?” He reversed their position. Unknotted her shrug.
She opened his
shirt. Pressed her lips to his impressive chest while pushing his jacket from
his equally impressive shoulders.
He expedited the
process, ridding himself of the jacket and shirt while kissing her stupid.
There would be no
overthinking this. She could barely breathe, let alone conjure a coherent
sentence. She felt the soft fabric of her dress skimming up her body, along
with his hands. His mouth played over her cheek, her jaw, her neck, her ear—an
endless kiss as he stripped away her clothes and senses.
He broke away long
enough to admire her pink bra and thong.
Her skin sizzled as
he devoured her form. Bare. Lush.
“Gorgeous,” was all
he said, yet she read so much more in his eyes.
Your body, your
curves—perfect. Size eight? Why would you want to be anything less?
Her heart pounded
as he freed her hair of its twisted knot. Her stomach coiled as his fingers
skimmed the waistline of her thong. His fingers dipped beneath the satin—a
brush, a touch. Fleeting. Teasing.
Frantic with desire, Dakota attacked his belt and zipper. “The last two
days have been nothing but foreplay. Let’s skip to the main event.”
