John “Ice” Takahashi’s final job for The Circle has an unexpected hitch in it; he’s fallen for an innocent civilian and his enemies know it. With his mission in a shambles, he’ll do anything to protect her, including kill. So how can a man without honor prove he’s worthy of her love?
Lena Matthews feels like she’s playing with fire by dating the mysterious Master J. He’s exotic, dangerous, and exactly what she needs in her boring life. With the bad guys bearing down on them, she discovers a whole new world of sensuality that binds her heart to his forever.
Now enjoy an excerpt:
Lena Matthews felt like a perverted voyeur.
Sitting in a coffee shop across the courtyard from the martial arts studio’s glass storefront, she stared at the tae kwon do class as they kicked and jabbed. Most of the students wore white pajama-like uniforms, except for the teacher. He stood out in black with his shaggy dark hair and ripped body. The man looked good enough to lick.
For the last five weeks after her tai chi class, she’d claimed the same chair and watched his every move. Behind her, others in the coffee shop chatted about the class and the mysterious man leading it.
From what she’d overheard, his name was John Takahashi, and the students called him Master J.

Thank you so much, Deal Sharing Aunt (cute name), for having me and my book here today. I'll be popping in throughout the day if anyone has a question.
ReplyDeleteThe excerpt is very well written, although I wish there was a little bit more to really get a better idea. But I still appreciate the sharing.
ReplyDeleteHey, Jay. Since it is a short story, the excerpt had to be shorter than normal. Maybe you'll win a copy. Thanks!
