Blurb
RION
There is no black and white in this life.
The line
between right and wrong blurs.
I’m constantly
crossing it.
Saving a
life is just as easy as taking one.
And I’m
damn good at both.
Finding a
woman who can survive in this world was never on the radar.
But
Gabriella pulls me from the bottom of a bottle and touches me in a way no one
else can.
Too bad
secrets and lies have a way of catching up with everyone.
GABRIELLA
How did I end up here, slinging drinks at a dive bar in the middle of nowhere?
The choices
that brought me to this were never even a glimmer of possibility only a few
years ago.
How things
can change so fast…
And now, my
path puts me on a collision course with Orion Gates.
His bigger-than-life size and personality should be a warning.
The
profession he’s chosen should be the ultimate final straw.
But instead, I find myself unable to resist his pull.
A decision that could lead to the end of all of us.
Rion and Gabriella.
Lust and
lies.
Betrayal
and ruin.
This
tide may drown everyone…

Excerpt
When I
reach Rion, I lean forward and rest my elbows on the bar. “What can I get for
you, stranger? Your usual?”
I've never
seen him drink anything other than IPA, though he sometimes varies his brand.
His lips
curl slightly. “I've had another shitty day. I can use something stronger
tonight. I'll take the Jack Daniels Single Barrel-Barrel Strength.”
“Damn. 130
proof. You’re not playing around tonight.”
He shakes
his head and runs one of his big hands back through his already unruly hair. “I
told you…shit day.”
I bite my
lip. “Well, if the drink doesn't help, I can think of something else that might
improve your mood.”
And
mine…
That's
about as direct as I can possibly be, and his pupils dilate while he holds my
gaze. Heat crackles between us, and I fight the urge to look away from the
intensity of the connection.
He leans
forward across the bar, resting his elbows and mimicking my position. “Are you
propositioning me?”
I can't
fight the smile that spreads across my face. “Proposition has such a dirty
connotation.”
A smirk
plays at his mouth. “Only if you make it dirty.”
“I'm just
making an observation.”
He shrugs,
and his eyes dip to my mouth. “An observation, huh?”
I nod
slowly.
“Well,” he
leans even closer, “then I'm going to make an observation of my own.”
“Yeah,
what's that?”
“You have
absolutely beautiful lips. I haven't been able to stop picturing them wrapped
around my cock since the first night I met you.”
Sweet
mother of God.
Warmth
spreads between my legs, and I shift to rub them together against the dull ache
forming. “Well, now. Who is propositioning who?”
