Synopsis:
Teague
O’Malley hates pretty much everything associated with his family’s name. And
when his father orders him to marry Callista Sheridan to create a “business”
alliance, Teague’s ready to tell his dad exactly where he can stuff his
millions. But then Teague actually meets his new fiancée, sees the bruises on
her neck and the fight still left in her big blue eyes, and he decides he will
do everything in his power to protect her.
Everyone
knows the O’Malleys have a dangerous reputation. But Callie wasn’t aware of
just what that meant until she saw Teague, the embodiment of lethal grace and
coiled power. His slightest touch sizzles through her. The closer they get,
though, the more trouble they’re in. Because Callie’s keeping a dark secret—and
what Teague doesn’t know could get him killed.

EXCERPT
“Don’t lie to me.”
She shivered under that
unrelenting gaze, and licked her lips, all too aware of how he tracked the
movement. “It won’t happen again.”
“You’re right. Because I’m
going to kill the ba**ard.” He kept stroking her skin, his touch doing strange
things to parts of her body that weren’t anywhere near her neck. “Tell me his
name.”
She wouldn’t, even if the man
who’d hurt her wasn’t already dead. Even in their messed-up world, murder was a
last resort—something to be avoided at all costs—not something you did for a
woman you barely knew. “No.”
“Your father hasn’t been
keeping what’s his safe.” Another stroke, this one closer to her jawline.
“That’s his mistake—one I won’t be making as well. His name, Callista.”
Oh God, oh God, oh God. She had to get a handle on this now. She’d never considered
herself one to crack under pressure, but this man put his hands on her and
spoke in that quiet, confident way that promised violence to anyone who touched
her, and she was dangerously close to losing control. Which kind of
control was up for grabs, so she went with the least likely to reveal her
secret.
She kissed him, her heels
giving her enough height that she barely had to go up on her toes. Her lips
brushed his, and for one interminable second she was sure neither of them took
a breath.
