If you’ve been waiting for Axel’s story, this is it! Emma Wright is in over her head. Three months ago her life was perfect: amazing job, shiny new MBA, great friends. When her job turns into a nightmare overnight, Emma feels like her life is going down the tubes. The only bright spot is her hot new boyfriend. He’s the man of her wildest dreams; sexy, smart, sweet, and a master of her body between the sheets. He can't seem to get enough of her full-figured curves, so it's too bad she's starting to think he’s keeping dangerous secrets.   Axel Sinclair likes control. At work, at home, in bed. He gets what he wants, and he never loses. Not until he meets Emma Wright, and she turns his well-ordered life upside down. Emma was supposed to be a job - getting his hands all over her luscious body was only a bonus. Before he knows it, Axel is in deep.  Axel is sure Emma’s guilty as hell. Can he do his job and bring her down? Or will he follow his heart and claim her for his own? BOOK ONE EXCERPT: Emma Wright was becoming a problem. She was supposed to be a job. An easy job. Get close to her, find evidence that she was selling confidential data to a competitor. Get paid a ton of money. How hard could it be? She was the head of Human Resources at a shipping company, not Mata Hari. This kind of thing was the bread and butter of Sinclair Security. I figured I’d take the meeting and pass the case to one of my guys.
Then I got a good look at Emma Wright.
Fiery red hair, creamy skin, abundant curves, and clear blue eyes with a wicked glint. She was irresistible. Luscious, soft, and more than a handful in all the right places. The moment I saw her picture, I knew I’d be handling her myself.
Sleeping with the suspect wasn’t usually my MO, but in this case, I was prepared to make an exception. Normally, my approach was to get the evidence, give it to the client, close the case, and cash the check. Not with Emma.
Getting her into bed wasn’t the hard part. Neither was pretending to be her lover. But Emma was tricky. She was smart. Funny. Gorgeous. And surprisingly kinky. Deliciously kinky. I’d never admit it, but it’s possible I was taking my time on the case just to have an excuse to keep her in my bed. less

The moment I realized she was waking up, I started my campaign to win her back. Not fully alert and warm from my body, I knew she wouldn’t be on her guard. I started slowly, nuzzling the back of her neck, sliding my hand beneath her shirt to rest on the silky skin of her stomach, just above her panties. I loved how soft she was there, her body so giving. 
Still half asleep, Emma didn’t remember that she hated me. Her body recognized me, and it loved me.
 Her hips wiggled back into mine, her round ass cradling my hard length. We’d never woken together. It was one more thing I’d denied myself when she was a target. Now she was mine and we’d be waking together every day. Sleepy, sexy Emma was delicious. 
I had to move quickly before her brain kicked into gear and reminded her that she wanted nothing to do with me. Gently, I slid my hand down over her hip to her thigh, winding my fingers around her knee. I lifted her leg, pulling it back over mine, opening her to my touch. My plan was simple. Get her so hot that by the time she woke up, she couldn't resist me. less

BOOK FOUR EXCERPT Abruptly, Axel broke the kiss and stepped back, spreading his arms as if offering himself. “You want me?” he asked. “Take off my clothes.” I hated being told what to do—unless it was Axel and we were getting naked. Then, all it took was his deep voice giving me an order and my panties were immediately soaked. Despite my anger and distrust, this time was no different. My hands trembling with the surge of lust, I went to work on the buttons of his shirt, avoiding his eyes. Seconds later, I was peeling it off, baring his lean, muscled chest and his chiseled abs. His body didn’t just look good. I knew from experience that he was strong and fast. He had a few scars marring his sleek skin, but they did nothing to detract from his sheer male beauty. Axel half-naked was mouth-wateringly gorgeous. Fully naked would be even better. I had his pants open with my next breath, pushing them down his hips, trailing my fingers over his tight, perfect ass. At the thought of sinking my nails into that ass as he took me, a pulse of heat throbbed between my legs.

 Axel stopped his pacing and gave me a long look. “Safe enough. Why?” 
“Come sit next to me,” I said, patting the worn comforter on the bed. I was trying not to wonder when the house had last been cleaned. 
Reluctantly, Axel came to sit beside me. He vibrated with contained energy and the need to move. I couldn’t help him with the case. I’d done everything I was able to where that was concerned. But I couldn’t stand seeing him so wound up and knowing it was my fault. If I couldn’t do much to help him with the FBI or Harper, at least I could help him relax.
 As soon as he was seated, I stood and faced him, my hands going straight to his tie. He looked up at me, eyes tense, the dark brown lighting with heat as his mind shifted gears and he realized what I was up to.
 I rarely initiated sex since we’d gotten together. Axel's need for control and my desire to give it to him put him in charge of our encounters—most of the time. Not tonight. Axel needed me. His instincts had him too on edge to unwind on his own. I’d had a plan the day before, one Axel had thwarted. This time, I was determined to get my way.
 I didn't need him naked, but I liked him that way. His tie off, I unbuttoned his shirt—carefully, methodically, appreciating every inch of skin that I bared. For once, Axel was content to let me take charge, and I reveled in his compliance.
 I wouldn't go so far as to call it submission. I don't think Axel had it in him to submit. But compliance was close enough. Once his shirt was stripped off and laid out on the bed beside him, I dropped to my knees and went to work on his belt. His hard length pressed against the fabric of his pants. My hands brushed him, teasing, as I worked the leather belt free of the metal buckle and pulled down his zipper.

Book Five Excerpt Axel rolled me onto my back and settled between my spread legs, kissing me hard, his mouth hungry and demanding. We’d only been apart for a few days, but it felt like years. Something had happened in my heart while we’d been separated. All of my doubts and fears about Axel had dissolved under the weight of how deeply I’d missed him. I didn’t like that he’d lied to me about how we’d met. It would take some time before the shock of discovering the truth about ‘Adam’ would fade, but in the past few days, it seemed to matter far less. Axel was what mattered. I kissed him back, as eager for his touch as he was for mine. With one hand on the back of his neck, I scrambled with the other to pull off my nightgown. I wanted nothing between us, not even the filmy silk. All I wanted was Axel, his heat and strength against me. He tore his mouth from mine and reared back, taking the nightgown in both hands and tearing it down the center. Lace and silk split and fell to the sides, leaving my body exposed to his heated gaze.
