Years ago Logan was in love and that love has stayed with him even now. No one can ever take his Cherry’s place in his heart and now fate has brought her back into his life and given him another chance at love. Tara has never healed from her broken heart all those years ago and when she finds herself face to face with the very man who broke her heart she doesn’t know what to do. Will Tara be able to put the past aside to get the training she needs to get for her assignment or will the pain be to much for her to take?

This book is full of emotions. Both Logan and Tara must deal with not only their past but the present danger as well. Tara is all grown up now. She is no longer the young Cherry that lost her heart to Logan. I enjoyed Tara’s spirit and strength. She hurts on the inside but goes on with her life never letting it bring her down. Logan is a good man. No matter how much it hurts he does what is right. Seeing Logan continue to put his heart on the line with Tara made me like him even more. The love between these two is so strong that is has lasted through the years despite the pain. The two make a wonderful couple each one knowing just what the other needs and willingly gives it.

Thank you so much for having me as a guest! I’m thrilled that BELONG TO ME has finally hit shelves and e-readers, after what seems like a long wait. This story is very near and dear to my heart, as I think many people had a young love in their past they wanted to believe could be rekindled and last a lifetime.

Though I love all of the heroes of the Wicked Lovers series, I have to say that Logan crept under my skin and became my favorite. I read somewhere that a true Dom has a firm hand, a firm mind, a firm grasp, and a firm gaze…but a soft heart. That describes Logan perfectly for me. He’s not afraid of his feelings, and his emotional fidelity to Tara, the heroine, during their years apart touched me. At the same time Logan aims to win her back, he’s mastering her with a seductive but firm hand. And he loves her fiercely. Sometimes, he’s ruthless about it, but he’ll back down when Tara needs it.

The book has received some fantastic advance reviews, and I am incredibly happy people are loving this story. Logan has been trying to get me to write his story since 2006, so it’s great to finally have it out there, especially for the readers who love a reunion tale as much as I do.

Since my Wicked Lovers stories often have a BDSM element, I wanted to interlace this story with a very current topic, and one that shows what happens when the lifestyle’s mantra of “safe, sane, and consensual” is tossed aside. Without giving any spoilers, I hope the story’s suspense will keep people turning the pages as much as the unfolding love that Logan and Tara share. Oh, and don’t forget their super hot sex scenes!

 

BELONG TO ME

 

She’s undercover and in over her head…

When FBI analyst Tara Jacobs’ fellow agent and best friend goes missing while investigating a sex ring, Tara goes undercover as a submissive in a Dallas BDSM club called Dominion. But no man can top a woman with Tara’s moxie convincingly enough—until an edgy, dangerous Dom takes control of the scene and sets her heart racing with a single, commanding glance. Too bad he’s also the man who stole her innocence years ago—and the one to whom she will never submit.

He’s got everything under control…until he falls for her again.

Navy SEAL Logan Edgington once left the woman he loved to save her life. He knows Tara will never forgive him, but he has no doubt that he possesses the knowledge to master her fears and the strength to guide her through an unfamiliar world of pleasure and pain. He alone can protect her on a dangerous mission that reveals both wicked depravities and terrible secrets. Logan relishes the exquisite torture of holding her again, feeling her uninhibited response. No matter how much Tara insists their fling will end after this mission, he’s determined that she will be his again—and this time, he’ll never let her go.
