Synopsis:
Tragedy set his course
for revenge. One woman stands in his way.
John
The last thing I need is
to be saddled with the on-the-run niece of the family I’m about to take down.
Gianna Silva wants me to help her find her missing mother. But I’ve got bigger
fish to fry—namely, her cousins Stefano and Santos Silva. I’m working on
the inside, feeding information to the FBI, and I'm about to drop the net
on their ring of counterfeiters. To keep Gianna out of my way, I’ve
agreed to help her but under one condition: What I say goes. No questions. No
pushback. I make the rules.
The problem is Gianna
Silva doesn’t know the meaning of the word “rule” and she’s on
to me. For two years, I’ve hidden my true identity behind a wall built from
stone-cold revenge. I thought it was indestructible—especially against someone
with the last name of Silva—the family I’ve vowed to destroy…
Gianna
If I could find my
missing mom by myself I would, but the only enemies she’s ever had are my dead
father and his powerful family. Confronting the Silvas alone is too dangerous.
I need an insider who knows how to play their game. John Rossi, with his cool,
bad-boy confidence and access to the family is my best hope. I’ve bargained
away the last dollar in my savings account in exchange for his help, but I’m
beginning to think I made a deal with the devil.
I didn’t expect his
rules to include sharing a cabin—and a bedroom with him—northwest of
Nowheresville. I don’t trust him, or my attraction to him. But to find my mom,
I’ll break every one of his damn rules, regardless of the consequences…
Excerpt:
He
stops and flips upright in the middle of the moonlit river. His hands hold my
waist as our feet cycle. “Why are we stopping?” I ask.
“So you can kiss me.”
His hands catch my ribcage lifting me as he tows me in.
My palms flatten against his slick, hard chest. “I make
the rules, right?”
He shakes his head, and a wicked smile sprouts from the
perfectly shaped lips. “This is no man’s land…the river is ruled by nature.”
His grin widens, ripping something open in my heart, and
I think maybe this isn’t such a bad thing. He obviously needs the distraction
and so do I.
I meet his kiss. His head slants over mine, and I open
for him, sucking him in. Our bodies bob from the force of his treading feet,
keeping both of us afloat. His hand slides to my back, slinging me in flush to
his body. My breath jams in my throat when I feel him, thick and hard against
my stomach, teasing the nerves gathered low in my belly.
“John…” I break
the kiss and gasp a short breath. “I need to conserve some energy if I’m going
to make it to the other side.”
He chuckles softly, twirling our bodies until we’re in
the current again, but when I stroke to swim beside him, he glides underneath
me, looping one of my hands over his shoulder and the other under his chest. I
surf his back as he swims, resting my cheek on the wet strands of his hair,
feeling the muscles of his chest moving under my fingertips with each stroke.
Weightless and languid, water floods my limbs, caressing my bones. I’m floating
through the Sky as if I’m on my way to heaven..
After several moments, John’s body shifts and his arm
contracts. He’s caught the ladder to his dock, supporting our weight with one
hand. He dips a shoulder and swings me in front of him. I point my toe and find
a slippery rung. The ladder sinks as he steps onto the rung below mine,
brushing my back with wet skin, gripping the rails and cocooning me with
warmth.
Everything about this moment makes me want to stop and take
it in.
I sway into him feeling his cheek brush my temple. He
curves around me, dropping a hand to my stomach. I arch as it travels up and
his knuckles graze my cleavage, prickling the sensitive skin. A voice inside
echoes this isn’t me as his fingers continue upward, sliding to the side of my
neck, but this is me with John.
“If you don’t want this, Gianna…” his voice sounds almost
tortured. “Climb up.”
My toes curl, standing firm on the rung, submerged like
anchors. His mouth lowers to the side of my neck, and I tilt giving him full
access.
“If you don’t climb up now, I’ll keep touching you…”
