I want her.
She’s barely legal and my wife’s daughter.
Forbidden and morally wrong.
I can’t have her. I can’t.
My son, though, doesn’t live by the same code I do.
He wants her too.
But not to love…to destroy.
I’ll risk everything to keep him from her.
Even if this tangle of awful costs me my reputation, my campaign, and my son.

“Do you think he’s going to kill you? I know the man seems scary but he’s not. The key
with Big Tag is to give as good as you get. Like fight his sarcasm with sarcasm. When he asks
how my broom ride in was, I smile and ask him if he rode in on the back of a brontosaurus from
his age. I know that sounds harsh, but it made him laugh, and now we’re cool. I spent the first
couple of weeks terrified by him, thinking he was this big bully, but he’s actually the sweetest
guy.”
The words had been said with a slightly husky feminine tone, and when he turned, sure
enough there was a woman. A young woman who looked like she’d walked off the pages of a
goth comic book. She was petite, a good foot shorter than him, with two purple pig tails, and she
liked black. She had on a black miniskirt with sparkly suspenders over a black button-up. Dark
green leggings and combat boots completed the look.
She was absolutely nothing like the two types of women he’d been surrounded by the last
decade of his life. Military women who kept things neat and clean and practical, or the
sophisticated crowd he’d run in when he’d been a spy. Women who were polished and thought
out every single word they said and action made.
The first he would have nodded and made some simple conversation with. The second he
would spend some time figuring out to ensure they weren’t here to spy on him.
He had absolutely no idea what to do with the woman in front of him. “Uh, I don’t think
he’s going to kill me.”
She was weirdly fascinating. And just plain weird. She had a messenger bag over her
shoulder, and the wide strap was decorated with a bunch of buttons, one which proclaimed her
the Mistress of Code. She seemed to like code and the color green since she had a big button with
the words I Always Play Green and some weird figure on it. “Confident. I like it. Are you a client
or a new hire?” She gasped as she seemed to think of something. “Or a new vendor? Because if
you are trying to sell the big guy anything that’s not a lemon tart, he might kill you. We should
rethink this.”
It was her smile that did it. A small uptick of lips that let him know she was fucking with
him and probably fucked with every guy in her life. Not in a “I’m looking to screw you over,
take your secrets, and then probably murder you on the way out the door” way he’d gotten used
to.
In the “I don’t take life too seriously” way. Like the women he’d been friends with in
college. The ones he’d been comfortable with in another lifetime. In the life he’d had before he’d
so brutally destroyed everything around him.
He should walk away from this woman. He was toxic, and his world for so long had been
blood and secrets and death. She wouldn’t even know how to walk in his world. She also wasn’t
his type. The last thing he needed was even a casual flirtation.
“I’m the new guy.” He held out a hand. “Name’s Kyle Hawthorne. I’m starting in the
bodyguard unit today.”
She was completely harmless. It wouldn’t hurt to talk to the cute goth chick while he was
here. He wouldn’t be here forever. He was giving this two months tops. That should be enough
time to satisfy his family and the higher-ups at the CIA that he wasn’t going to do something
dangerous. And then he would go do something dangerous.
She reached out, that smile turning into something truly glorious. Her black-tinged lips
spread and showed even white teeth, but it was the way that smile lit up her eyes that made him
pause. “MaeBe.”
Oh, she was playing with fire because for the first time in months he felt his groin tighten as
he took her hand in his and felt an actual fucking spark that probably wasn’t static electricity. He
couldn’t help the way his own lips curled up, and the words that flowed out of his mouth could
have come from his twenty-year-old self. “Maybe? I would say that’s a little presumptuous of
you, but I think I’ll go with it.”

I’ve been an outcast my whole life. If my scars don’t scare people away, my attitude certainly will. I don’t know what I am or how I got the power to stop time. What I do know is, there are far too many questions I need answers to. When I cross paths with a local gang member, his presence unravels a part of my past I never knew existed. At every turn, danger leaps closer, and I realize that stopping the killer will mean losing everything—including the first man I’ve ever loved. But I should’ve known better. We were never meant to be anything more than a brief stop in time.
Two pink lines won’t change the bad blood between us.
I haven’t always hated my brother’s best friend, but Michael Oliver gets under my skin and brings out the worst in me. He knows how to push my buttons, and I relish pushing all of his. He betrayed my trust years ago, so I’ve made it my mission in life to aggravate him until he admits he was wrong.
When his sister’s wedding brings us together, Michael suggests a truce for one night. If only he weren’t so handsome and smart, maybe I could resist the allure, but I’ve always been a little impulsive, and this man is my ultimate temptation. After years of pent-up frustration and unrequited lust, I finally let down my guard, and that’s all it takes for us to combust.
But like all bad decisions, the morning after brings a reckoning, and I leave his hotel room swearing to never waste another moment of my time pining after him. Who needs that grumpy jerk warming her bed? Not me.
I don’t let myself think about that steamy night together, or how it pained me to hear about his football injury, or how much I know he wants to get drafted so he can help his family. Because I’m cutting Michael out of my life for good.
Only the two little pink lines mean I can’t forget him. Even if I desperately want to.
