He’s the only man I’ve ever loved, and
the one man I can’t bear to lose.
Jackson Steel is my light in this world. Charismatic, bold, and always
in control, he knows what he wants and how to get it—and absolutely nothing
stands in his way. His hold on me is magnetic, his claim on me complete, his
kiss my ultimate escape.
We both harbor dark secrets that could tear our lives apart. Though
we’ve tried to bury our pasts, there are certain people who won’t let us
forget. But the closer danger comes, the brighter the fire between us burns—our
ecstasy consuming and soothing us both.
There’s no telling what lies ahead, but I know that Jackson never gives
in without a fight. I’d do anything he wants to keep him safe, give him
anything he needs. And now that we’re in deep, nothing can make me run.
Under My Skin is intended for
mature audiences.

Excerpt:
I lick my lips, then swallow as I take
a corresponding step back. Then another and another as he just keeps coming.
“What
kind of game are you playing, Syl?” His
voice is a tight coil.
“Yours.” I
draw in a breath. “Dammit, Jackson. Did you think I wouldn’t notice? Did you really believe I’d let you push me away? Tell me,” I demand. “Talk to me. Or if you won’t do that, then fuck me. Because we
had a deal, and I’ll
be damned if you’re
going to go off on your own and beat the crap out of someone.”
“Don’t.” He lunges toward me, startling me, and
I try to take another step back. But there’s nowhere to go. I’d parked the Mustang close to the
hangar, and now we’ve
reached the metal exterior.
He slams me back against it. The
impact reverberates through my body and I’m thrumming with energy. With need.
But this isn’t
about sex—not yet. It’s about communication. About getting
through to him. Because I am afraid—so
terribly afraid—that I am losing the man who fought so
hard to get me back.
We’ve walked through fire, he and I, and
I can’t
stand the thought that in the end it will be Robert Cabot Reed who destroys us.
I’m breathing hard, and so is he. His
arms are around me, caging me in place. And just then I’m thinking that this moment could go
anywhere and that maybe I’ve made a mistake, because Jackson has
a temper and sometimes he really does need to beat the shit out of something,
and right now I’m
a little scared that something might end up being me.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
J. Kenner (aka Julie Kenner)
is the New York Times, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, Wall Street Journal and
International bestselling author of over seventy novels, novellas and short
stories in a variety of genres. Though known primarily for her award-winning
and international bestselling erotic romances (including the Stark and Most
Wanted series) that have reached as high as #2 on the New York Times bestseller
list, JK has been writing full time for over a decade in a variety of genres
including paranormal and contemporary romance, “chicklit” suspense, urban
fantasy, Victorian-era thrillers (coming soon), and paranormal mommy lit. Her
foray into the latter, Carpe Demon: Adventures of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom by
Julie Kenner, has been consistently in development in Hollywood since prior to

for development as series on the CW Network with Alloy Entertainment producing.
JK has been praised by Publishers Weekly as an author with a “flair for
dialogue and eccentric characterizations” and by RT Bookclub for having
“cornered the market on sinfully attractive, dominant antiheroes and the women
who swoon for him.” A three time finalist for Romance Writers of America’s
prestigious RITA award, JK took home the first RITA trophy awarded in the
category of erotic romance in 2014 for her novel, Claim Me (book 2 of her Stark
