Someone knows Jake's secret.

If he doesn't pay up, everyone will.

But no way he's playing their game...
...until his blackmailer threatens Tara.

Tara fought her way back from scandal once to build a successful career. With her own morning TV show, her life now is almost perfect.

Hiding out in a small cabin with Tara was not part of Jake's plan, but the latest threat includes her, and it's the only way he can protect her.

Tara's not having any of it. From her view, Jake is arrogant, infuriating, and does nothing but argue with her. If he would only stay out of her fantasies.

When sparks fly, with the blackmailer closing in, Jake's not sure who'll take him down first--the blackmailer or Tara. 

There's a good chance both their lives may go up in flames....

Her eyes grew large as her gaze went from his hand to his chest and then down to his jeans. Her gaze paused at his jeans.

“My eyes are up here, sweetheart,” he said with a full-on grin now. Oh, he liked this.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I just got lost in thought—”

“I bet you did.” He leaned against the counter, purposely flexing his muscles. After spending most days in the gym, he knew he looked good. Most of the time he didn’t care so much what a woman thought about it, but for whatever reason, he cared what this one thought. He leaned in so close he could feel the heat coming off her skin.

She kept staring.

“See something you like?” The gravel in his voice surprised him.

Tara locked eyes with him. “What?”

He watched as she realized what he’d said. She pushed past him and moved toward the elevator, then stopped and turned around.

“Katie mentioned Ryan had a brother. She forgot to mention he was an arrogant asshole.”

“Hey, I wasn’t the one staring,”
Danielle Pays writes steamy romance novels with a touch of suspense. When not trying to write her characters into some kind of trouble, she can be found guzzling coffee at her kids’ soccer games. Black coffee is a requirement as she lives in the Pacific Northwest.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
