New York Times bestselling author Cindy Dees introduces a brave soldier…and the woman who is his toughest challenge
Going undercover in a seedy New Orleans club to find her brother, Eve Hankova knows the dangers. But she isn’t prepared for the blazing heat arcing between her and the customer who “buys” her for his exclusive pleasure. Like wildfire, it burns hot and out of control.
Navy SEAL Ashe Konig knows no other way to protect Eve from the Russian mob she’s infiltrated at the club. But for this disillusioned loner, is it a suicide mission? As heavily armed mobsters breathe down their necks, the stubborn woman refuses to quit. Ashe doesn’t know who poses the greater danger—the ruthless killers who threaten their lives or the sweet innocent who threatens his heart.
Sexual tension hung in the air around them.
Thick and hungry.
The lights had gone out in their hotel room; a killer might be making his move against them any minute. But all he could think about was the woman beside him.
She stilled, and he stared down at the shadows wreathing her face, trying and failing to penetrate the dark to see her eyes.
She made a sound of distress.
“Are you okay?” he asked. He knew she was afraid of the dark, ever since the crash when she was young.
“No.” A pause. “I want to kiss you, but I think it would be a mistake.”
His entire being stilled, holding its breath. All of a sudden, he wanted nothing more in the world than for her to kiss him. Even if she was right that it would be a terrible mistake.
They weren’t meant to be. He sucked at relationships, and she was too damned vulnerable to protect herself from him and his baggage.
“Don’t kiss me if you’re afraid of the dark,” he said. “That’s all you’ll find inside me.”

It was with great pleasure that I finally got to return to New Orleans this past year for the first time since Hurricane Katrina devastated that lovely city. I was thrilled to see that the Grand Lady of the South has come back strong and that she’s as fun and fabulous as ever. And what better way to celebrate the recovery of New Orleans than to write a book set there? My only problem in writing this story was choosing where in the parish to set the book!
Fortunately, my heroine (who announced to me early on that she goes by the improbable nickname Hank) and her navy SEAL hero, Ashe, are both N’awlins natives and knew just where to go to best unfold their story. It turns out that a blend of steamy romance, dark suspense, towering love and simmering danger is pretty darned close to the perfect tale to tell when those hot summer nights come calling in the Big Easy.
So, pour yourself a mint julep, turn on the ceiling fan slow and lazy, put on a little Preservation Hall jazz, and get ready to go undercover with a SEAL in a hot story of love and danger that I’m excited to share with you!
Happy reading,
Cindy
