Club Sin # 6
Club Sin # 6
By: Stacey Kennedy
Releasing July 7, 2015
Club Sin comes alive once again in this decadent new
romance from USA Today bestselling author Stacey Kennedy, perfect for fans of
Fifty Shades of Grey.
A dedicated cop,
Sawyer Quinn blows off steam by immersing himself in his role as a Master at
the hottest club in Las Vegas. But when Sawyer goes after the perp who brutally
beat his sister, he teams up with Chloe Nash, a sexy private investigator who
awakens a sweet new need: to keep her to himself, away from the dungeon of Club
Sin. Chloe is beautiful, smart, and too innocent for the BDSM lifestyle.
Sawyer’s never wanted a woman like this before. Is her love worth swearing off
the one thing that keeps him sane?
There’s something
different about Sawyer: a commanding strength that pulls Chloe into a vortex of
heady desire. But when she learns about his double life as a Dom, she’s
shocked—and afraid she could never complete him. Then he saves her life, and
just like that, Chloe knows she will be able to give him anything he desires.
She is his—wherever and however he wants to take her.

“Mom,
Dad, this is Chloe Nash.” Sawyer turned to Chloe, who was standing behind him
in the hospital room. “Chloe, these are my parents, Beth and Roger Quinn.”
Chloe offered her hand to his father.
“I’m sorry to meet under these circumstances, Mr. Quinn.”
His father shook her hand, arching a curious brow at
Sawyer.
Sawyer smiled in return, as his parents were well
aware that he hadn’t had a girlfriend for more years than he wanted to count.
He explained, “Chloe is a private investigator who works for a good friend of
mine, Porter Marshall. She’s offered to help us locate Travis.”
“Oh, wonderful. Please call me Roger.” His father
shook Chloe’s hand more firmly now, enclosing her hand in both of his. “We
appreciate any help we can get.” His concerned eyes swept toward Sawyer’s
mother, who sat in the chair next to her sleeping daughter. “I’m worried for
Ashlyn, with Travis still out there.” The dark circles beneath his eyes
confirmed his concern. It was clear that neither of Sawyer’s parents had slept
much since Ashlyn’s attack, and Sawyer figured it’d stay that way until they
caught Travis.
“Ash wakes up every couple of hours,” said his
mother. “But she’s pretty out of it when she does.” She ran her fingers through
her curly hair. “Do the police have any leads?”
“I’m afraid not,” Sawyer answered, noticing how his
mom’s body sagged against the bed with disappointment. “Have either of you
eaten anything today?”
His father shook his head. “We haven’t wanted to
leave her.”
“Why don’t you go to the cafeteria?” Chloe
interjected, her voice soft. “We can stay with Ashlyn while you get something
to eat. The coffee is terrible, but it’s better than nothing.”
Sawyer’s heart warmed as he saw the sincere
compassion in Chloe’s eyes. Christ, she was a beautiful woman. Her long
chocolate-brown hair flowed over her shoulders, and her striking blue eyes
reminded him of the ocean in Mexico. So clear. So pure. So honest. Her body,
lush and full of curves, was perfect for his hands.
What he found more beautiful was her sweet concern
for his parents and sister. When he first met her, his attraction had been a
sexual one. For a month now she’d haunted him. How sweet would she taste? How
pink would her cheeks become with pleasure? How would she sound when she moaned
in ecstasy? But he hadn’t counted on the way his heart tripped around her.
Smart.
Strong. Caring. Beautiful. She had that
something the others didn’t. Which interested him, and soon became something he
couldn’t ignore.
Chloe was, in fact, unlike any other woman he’d met.
Too pure. Too innocent. Not in the BDSM lifestyle. Somehow knowing that made
her all the more special. Deep down in his gut, he knew he hadn’t asked her to
help him find Travis only because it would comfort Ashlyn. He had asked her
also because of Sawyer’s curiosity over her. He wanted to discover why this
little woman had captivated his mind for a damn month.
Snapping back into the moment, he turned his
attention to his father. “Chloe’s right—you could use some food.” He placed a
hand on his father’s shoulder. “We’ll stay here until you come back.”
His father nodded at Sawyer before taking his wife’s
hand and helping her up from the chair. “Come on, Beth. A little break will
give us strength. We have to take care of ourselves so we can take care of
Ashlyn.”
“You’re right,” she agreed, if a bit reluctantly. It
came as no surprise to Sawyer that his mom went straight to Chloe and wrapped
her in a tight hug. “I don’t know you, dear. But if you’re helping us, that
makes you a friend. I cannot thank you enough.”
A slight smile curved Chloe’s lips as she returned
the hug. “No thanks required. Anyone who hurts a woman needs to be put behind
bars.”
“I couldn’t agree with you more,” said his mother.
She released Chloe, took her husband’s hand again, and added to Sawyer, “We
won’t be long.”
Sawyer waited until his parents left the room before
arching a brow at Chloe. “You see why finding Travis is so important?”
Chloe nodded. “They look beside themselves.” She
approached the bed where his baby sister lay. A flurry of emotions passed over
her face. “How old is Ashlyn?”
“Twenty-two.”
A soft curse issued from her mouth. “She’s so young
to have to deal with something like this. You will get her counseling once
she’s healed, right?”
“I hadn’t thought about it.” Sawyer went around to
the other side of the bed, taking the seat where his mother had been. “But it’s
a good idea. I’ll look into it once Travis is behind bars.”
“Good.” Chloe’s chin lifted. “She’ll need it.”
Sawyer hesitated, listening to his instincts. “Do you
have experience with abuse?”
“Not personally.” Her strong glance swept to Sawyer.
“But in high school one of my friends got beaten up pretty bad by her
boyfriend. Her parents tried to hush up the whole thing—they were embarrassed,
I guess.”
Another thing he liked about Chloe was the strength
and confidence she emanated when she spoke. “What happened to the girl?”
“She killed herself.”
Sawyer looked at Ashlyn, resolving that such a thing
would not
happen to his sister. He’d make sure no one would ever blame the victim. “I
would never allow Ash to go down such a dark path.”
“That’s good.” Chloe smiled softly at him. “She’s
lucky to have you.”
Something in her smile stole his damn breath. He
couldn’t pinpoint why Chloe had gotten to him on such an intense sexual level.
Her mere presence—even her scent—was a trigger for him. On a very deep level,
he seemed attuned to her.
