Jackson Steele and Sylvia Brooks continue to thrill in the second novel of a scintillating, emotionally charged new trilogy that returns to the world of J. Kenner’s beloved Stark novels:Release Me, Claim Me, and Complete Me.
I never thought I’d lose control, but his desire took me right to the edge.
Powerful, ambitious, and devastatingly sexy, Jackson Steele was unlike any other man I’d ever known. He went after what he wanted with his whole mind, body, and soul—and I was the woman in his sights. One touch and I surrendered, one night together and I was undone.
Jackson and I had secrets, dark pieces of our pasts that threatened to swallow us both. We couldn’t outrun our demons, or the people trying to tear us apart. But in our passion we found salvation, and in each other’s arms we found release.
I was scared to trust Jackson fully, to finally let go. Yet no matter the dangers that lay ahead, I knew I was his—and now that we’ve laid claim, there’s no more holding back.
On My Knees is intended for mature audiences.

He studies my face and says simply, “I needed you. Christ,
Syl,” he adds with rising emotion, “I always need you.”
“I know the feeling.” I pull myself up to sit on the desk,
and he gets on beside me. I lean against him. We’re facing the glass wall, and
I look out at the crowd and lights below us. “Do you want to tell me what
happened?”
He doesn’t answer at first, and I tell myself that I
shouldn’t push him. A moment passes. Then another. And it is becoming harder
and harder for me not to say anything.
Finally, he speaks. “He came up to me like it’s a done
deal.” His voice is low. Even. But I can hear the anger underlying it. “Like
the movie’s going forward and there’s not a damn thing I can do to stop it.”
“You’ll stop it,” I say. “If it’s that important you’ll find
a way.”
He nods, but he doesn’t look convinced.
I hesitate, then make myself go
on. “But, Jackson, I still don’t understand—would it really be that horrible if
it was made? I get that it digs into the family’s personal lives, but the
papers have already covered the murder, right? And so did a lot of the news
magazines and television news shows. So how much worse could a movie be?”
He turns to look at me. “Trust me. It would be worse.”
I wait for him to continue—to explain—but he doesn’t.
Instead, he just turns back toward the window and looks out at the club.
I don’t press him.
And I do trust him.
But still, the
question lingers. And, yes, my heart aches a bit. Because though I don’t
understand why, I am certain that he is keeping things from me. Secrets. Big
ones—big enough, at least, to eat him up inside.
