BOOK
SUMMARY:
A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...
Some lines are meant to be crossed...
One explosive device was all it took to turn Holt Cunningham from
ass-kicking Marine to IT technician. Hell, he's still not over it. So when the
cute little strawberry blonde at the bar asks him to kiss her, Holt can't
resist the temptation of a sexy distraction. Before he knows it, she's blown
his mind...and then skipped out the next morning.
Lydia Thomas never expected things with Holt to go quite that far, but
oh, it was worth it. After being far too good for way too long, she was ready
to be bad. Except that there's that tiny detail that Lydia kept to herself-Holt
just spent the night doing naughty things...with his best friend's little
sister.
One night isn't nearly enough. But with his friendship on the line, how
far will Holt go in order to claim what's his?

TAKING WHAT’S HIS by Diane
Alberts
EXCERPT
ONE
Curling his hand behind her neck, he
hauled her close and melded his mouth to hers, cutting her off. As soon as
their lips touched, everything seemed to fall into place. It was as if she was
a pill he’d taken, and she’d cured him.
The anger, the confusion, the pain, the
fear.
It all quieted inside his head, to be
replaced by the way she felt against him.
He knew without a doubt, the instant
his mouth touched hers, she was different from all the other women he’d kissed.
She could make him different, too. That didn’t make any sense...and yet it did.
It really fucking did.
Damned if she didn’t kiss like a woman
who didn’t have much experience with this type of thing, and it was
refreshingly sweet. She gasped into his mouth, her hands resting on his chest,
and he took advantage of the opening she’d given him. Slipping his tongue
between her lips, he found hers and swept across it.
Her fingers fisted his shirt, and she
moaned.
It was the sexiest moan he’d ever
motherfucking heard. Deepening the kiss, he slid his hand down to the small of
her back and drew her closer to him.
His whole hand splayed across her from end to end, she was that damn tiny.
Almost hesitantly, her hands moved up, curling over his shoulders to latch on
to him for dear life. She tasted heavenly, as if she was made just for him.
And she felt like it, too.
He’d kissed a lot of women, but he’d
never kissed like this. And a kiss
had never made him feel so damn unsettled before. It was as if some invisible
force was pushing them together, and nothing he did or said would change the
fact that by the end of the night...she’d be naked in his bed. The bizarre
desire to pick her up, throw her over his shoulder, and carry her out of the
bar, ass up in the air, hit him like a fist to the gut.
He ended the kiss, because even though
he might not know her, he knew one thing for sure. She was the type of woman
who deserved more than a one-night stand, and he couldn’t give it to her. So it
was time to send her running away...for real this time.
