Another "searingly sexy"* romance awaits in the latest Wicked Lovers novel from the New York Times bestselling author of His to Take.
Ever since he rescued her from a dangerous kidnapper, Mystery Mullins has wanted Axel Dillon. When he returned her to her Hollywood father and tabloid life, she was grateful…and a little in love. Mystery wasn’t ready to let Axel go, even after the soldier gently turned her away because, at nineteen, she was too young.
Now, six years later, Mystery is grown, with a flourishing career and a full life—but she’s still stuck on Axel. Disguised, she propositions him in a bar, and the night they spend together is beyond her wildest dreams. Mystery steels herself to walk away—except the sheets are barely cold when her past comes back to haunt her.
Once he realizes Mystery isn’t the stranger he thought, Axel is incensed and intrigued. But when it’s clear she’s in danger, he doesn’t hesitate to become her protector—and her lover—again. And as the two uncover a secret someone is willing to kill for, Axel is determined to claim Mystery’s heart before a murderer silences her for good.
EXCERPT
Mystery blinked up, looking into his eyes. His
expression, so sharp and aware, made her catch her breath. She dropped her gaze
to his lips, aching to know what they felt like.
He grabbed a fistful of her hair and tugged, his
stare sliding over her, fused to her. Then his lips crashed down onto her own.
She gave a cry at the impact.
Axel took her mouth, possessed it. God, she’d been
kissed before but not by anyone who could make her feel his touch through her
entire body. The drugging relief she’d been feeling just after the crash mixed
with a pure sexual thrill to give her a zing that soon had her climbing his big
body, wrapping her legs around his waist, desperate for more.
Axel lifted his head, panted harshly in her face,
then swooped in for another blistering kiss. This time, he drilled his tongue
into her mouth and tangled it with his own, sweeping deep, scorching her all
the way to her soul. His addictive flavor filled her. It wasn’t like artificial
breath spray or toothpaste. It wasn’t whatever he’d been eating or drinking. It
was just him. She tightened her legs around him and struggled for her next
breath, not really caring if she found it.
He pulled at her scalp as he slanted his mouth
across her lips at another angle, then dived deep into her a third time. Aching
for him everywhere, Mystery wriggled on him and . . . Oh, did she find him hard
and ready and so big. Yes. She wanted that. She wanted him. She yearned for more
of his fingers tangled in her hair, his kiss taking absolute command of her
body, to find out what it felt like to be filled by a guy who wasn’t simply
trying to score.
She whimpered and tightened her arms around his
neck. He gave a groan as he filled his hands with her ass and ground her
against his raging erection.
He hit her right against the most sensitive spot.
Mystery couldn’t stop herself from breaking the kiss and tossing her head back
in pleasure. “Axel . . .”
