Until everything around them falls apart, including him. He swore he would never hurt her. Instead, he almost destroys them both. Shae makes a dangerous choice, sacrificing her happiness for his, just like he always does for her. Now that she’s found her own voice, can Shae survive the challenges of living in Nick’s world?

Yet, the perfect life remains just out of reach. Nick and Shae face the biggest challenge threatening their relationship. He’ll destroy any man who tries to steal the happiness she deserves. Can their love survive Nick’s plan to ensure Shae’s always safe?

Scarlet crawls up her cheeks, matching the lava racing through his veins to his groin at her smirk. “Are you making fun of me now?”

“Nope. Just admiring the view. What man doesn’t like to see his woman barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen?”

The sponge bounces off his chest along with her bubbly laughter. “How come I’m just finding out now that you’re a chauvinist?”

He gives her an exaggerated frown, contrasting with the smile twitching on her sweet lips. “You told me I was charming.”

“I think I said cocky.”

“Confident.”

Her eyes dance, her face glowing from the mischief playing between them. Finally, her genuine personality shines through completely. Just for him. “Or was it slick?”

“Well-spoken.”

“Bossy.”

“Driven.”

She shakes her head. “You have an answer for everything, don’t you?”

“Yeah.” He palms the countertop on each side of her, caging her in before she can even think about trying to get away. Desire burns in her gaze, boring into his, almost more than he can bear to keep from ravishing her.

“I go after what I want, and I always make it mine.”

“I have no idea what I want…” Sweet, strawberry breaths warm his skin as she eliminates the space between them and whispers against his lips, “Except for you.”

Fuck. No more games. She’s his. His mouth crashes against hers, pouring every drop of desire into her breathless moan, reminding her she owns every part of him. Urgent fingers tug on his shirt before slipping underneath the fabric. Fireworks explode across his skin at her burning touch, gliding up his back, drawing him closer.

Nikki writes contemporary romantic thrillers and admits to a weakness for alpha males and bad boys, especially ones who can’t live without the strong women they love.

She spends more time in her characters’ lives than her own. But, when she’s in the real world, her passions include reading, wine appreciating, running, and spending time with her husband and daughter.
