With no explanation, no goodbyes; she walked away from one life, to start another. Now based in London, she has a home: new friends, a new dog and – a Master. Luke Monroe is everything she never knew she wanted: dominant, sexy, passionate, and a sadist. As their relationship develops, with her giving a little and him taking a lot, PJ is forced to explore the side of Luke she’s always found frightening, all under the watchful eyes of her neighbors Mika and Elliot, the other two men who have come to mean so much to her. But at what price? When tensions mount between the three unquestionably alpha males, PJ’s caught in the middle. With Luke’s demands intensifying, Elliot’s intrusive behaviour becoming more and more evident, and Mika, always her soft place to fall, claiming a little more of her heart each day, she’s torn. She’s already learnt the hard way that love can hurt, and she thought she knew how much. But nothing could have prepared her for this. ‘Fire in the Blood’ is the second book in ‘The Red Series.’ It is not a stand-alone novel, and I would highly recommend that if you intend to read it, you read ‘A Little Band of Red’ first. Although both are part of a larger series, the first three novels have been written as a complete trilogy, concluding with ‘To Catch a Flame’, due out in December 2016. less

After PJ and Luke’s final volatile encounter, she struggles to cope, but she’s not alone. Mika and Elliot have moved into her home, her bed—stripping her bare and stealing her heart. PJ’s no longer terrified of the man who tried to break her, just terrified of falling in love with the two men she knows she can never have. Or can she? All it takes is a confession, one little word, and her entire world tilts abruptly... moreAfter PJ and Luke’s final volatile encounter, she struggles to cope, but she’s not alone. Mika and Elliot have moved into her home, her bed—stripping her bare and stealing her heart. PJ’s no longer terrified of the man who tried to break her, just terrified of falling in love with the two men she knows she can never have. Or can she? All it takes is a confession, one little word, and her entire world tilts abruptly. What they’ve hidden from her is the sweetest of betrayals, and PJ’s devastated by it, yet she just can’t fight the pull towards them any longer. The love they have for her, and each other is intense and all consuming, but something’s not right. It’s subtle at first, a word, a gesture, a pair of handcuffs—an exchange of power. Despite her trepidation, her trust in them allows PJ to explore the things about herself that Luke tried to destroy, and she does until she’s faced with a soul-breaking ultimatum. Secrets and lies, wants and needs. Once again, PJ finds herself completely bound by someone else's desires, only this time, there’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. This time, she’s forced to face her fears so that she can claim the hearts of the two men who were always meant to be hers. less
