From New York Times
bestselling author, Shayla Black...
After being framed for a
crime he didn’t commit, former private eye Nick Navarro has nothing but revenge
on his mind—until a woman from his past returns to beg for his help.
Beautiful widow Sasha
Porter has been hunted by his enemies. Desperate, she offers him anything to
keep her young daughter safe, even agreeing to become his mistress.
The last
thing either of them want are emotional entanglements but as they entrap the
ruthless politician who arranged Nick’s downfall and passion sizzles between
them, danger closes in.
Will he choose love over
vengeance before it’s too late?
“Wake me in an hour,” he
insisted.
“All right.”
“Thanks.” He tugged off
his shirt.
With the fabric gone,
Nick exposed tribal tattoos that swept up his lean ribs on one side, covered
his bulging pectoral, drifted around his solid shoulder before changing
direction to cascade down his rippling biceps and thick forearm. Sasha tried
not to swallow her tongue as he lay on one side of the bed, closest to the
door, and his body stilled.
In seconds, he dropped
off. His deep, even breathing was barely audible in the room. And she was still
staring at him, dazed by the sight of his wide back bunched and defined with
more muscle.
Goodness, Nick Navarro
was a beautiful man.
He wasn’t Mike. No one
was. But she’d loved her late husband the way a girl cherished Prince Charming.
She’d given her heart to him in a sugary drop, fallen with him into a champagne
bubble of warmth and comfort. His death had burst that. With the pretty pink
bow of forever ripped away, Sasha had been forced to push through thorns and
become a woman.
Her sweet prince would
never ride up on his white horse to save her because the villain had killed
him. But the big, dark Beast beside her now would vanquish the demon, with her
at his side. And she would fight to the death to protect her child—and her
future with Nick.
There was nothing soft
or sweet or innocent about the way she wanted him. She ached for him
desperately, urgently, passionately. He challenged her between the ears, roused
the flesh between her legs, and ignited a blaze between her ribs she knew would
burn eternally.

corporate America to pay the bills, her heart has always been with her
characters. She’s thrilled that she’s been living her dream as a full-time author

daughter, and a very spoiled cat. In her “free” time, she enjoys
reality TV, reading, and listening to an eclectic blend of music.
