Tell Me No Lies

Liking it rough is its own sweet reward.

The Black Orchid, Book 1

That was then. . .

While hunting down his target in Jamaica, Kael Bradford fell hard for a beautiful, unsuspecting tourist. He thought the only thing he needed to protect her from was him. Until the line between personal and professional blurred in a cloud of deadly danger.

This is now. . .

Rain Howard thought she'd met the perfect guy. But after two romantic weeks in Jamaica, he disappeared. Two years of trying to forget him, and she's finally found the courage to quit her job and open a beignets and coffee café. Then he appears out of the blue, wanting to pick up where they left off.

And there is only one truth. . .

Kael never wanted to leave her, but it wasn't safe for him to stay. He had to put space between them before the bad guys figured out there was someone he loved. Besides, if she discovered all his secrets. . .she wouldn't want to be with him anyway.

Now, the coast is clear. And he's returned, finally, to reclaim what's his.
