Computer security specialist Elizabeth Martinez has never
been able to turn her back on her brother Benny. When his risky lifestyle
finally lands him in harm’s way, Elizabeth finds herself dragged into the dangerous
underworld with him and into the cross hairs of one of Miami’s death-dealing
drug lords. Only after her ex-boyfriend saves her does she realize she might
have no choice but to depend on the one man she has tried so desperately to
forget.
Former Marine Porter Caldwell never should have let Elizabeth
walk away from him all those months ago. She means more to him than anything
and now that she’s in danger and turned to him for help, he won’t make that
mistake again. When a local gang targets her and she’s nearly killed in a drive
by shooting, Porter vows to do whatever it takes to keep her alive. Even if it

Excerpt
“Listen, about last night…”
He shook his
head. “Don’t worry about anything. I already talked to Harrison and he doesn’t
have a problem with you not coming into work today, and Grant wants to talk to
you personally so you can—”
“Wait, what? First of all,
I’m not skipping work, but I do want to talk to Grant. And I wasn’t talking
about that. I
thought maybe…” She trailed off, hating the way her cheeks heated up. Yeah,
talking about that kiss probably wasn’t the best idea. Obviously they were on
two separate wavelengths. He was clearly more level headed than her. She was
obsessing over it and he wanted to discuss what was actually important. She
definitely needed to pull her head out of the clouds.
His pale eyes
darkened as he scooted a fraction closer to her. “You shouldn’t be out today.”
“Why? Because
some losers burned numbers into my lawn? I’m not going to live in fear.
Besides, I work at one of the most secure buildings in Miami. I’d rather be
there surrounded by people than cooped up here.”
He sat his mug
down with a thud. “Damn it, Lizzy—”
“Don’t you
‘Lizzy’, me. You only use that name when you want something and it’s not going
to work this time.” If he thought he could use her attraction to him against her, he was
out of his mind.
She watched in
fascination as a faint shade of red crept up his neck. “That’s not true.”
“Yes, it is. You
always call me Elizabeth unless you’re trying to charm me.” Or when you’re kissing me.
She decided to keep that thought to herself though.
“I’m not trying
to charm you,” he muttered.
Her eyebrows
rose. “Then what would you call it?”
“I’m trying to
make you use common sense.”
She snorted very
loudly, earning a surprised look from him, but she didn’t care. Pushing her
chair back, she stood. “I’m not staying here and there’s nothing you can say to
make me change my mind. I’ll go crazy so if you don’t mind, I’m going to
shower.” Lizzy started to leave, but he grasped her upper arm.
Not hard, but he
exerted enough pressure that she couldn’t move.
She glared at
him. “Let me go.”
“You need to
talk to Grant.”
“I will, but it
doesn’t have to be here. I can meet him at the police station or he can come to
my office or wherever.”
“You’ll be safer here,” he
ground out.
She dug her
heels in but didn’t say anything. He could argue until he was blue in the face.
It wasn’t as if he could hold her hostage.
At her lack of
response, he practically growled at her. “Why do you have to be so stubborn?”
“Why do you
always think you know what’s best for me?” she shot back.
“You’re the most frustrating woman
I know.” He let her arm drop and scrubbed a hand over his face. Without another
word he moved past her and disappeared from the kitchen.
She stared at
his retreating figure and frowned. Porter never let his guard down. Ever. But it seemed
he was just as off-kilter in her presence as she was in his. The realization
was strangely refreshing.
Danger Next Door

sheltered and smothered by her loving, if overbearing, family. Now that she’s

him into bed—until a madman fixates on her.
With Grant now working for Red Stone Security, he sees it as

Katie fell in love with romance at
a young age thanks to books she pilfered from her mom’s stash. Years later she
loves reading romance almost as much as she loves writing it. However, she
didn’t always know she wanted to be a writer. After graduating summa cum laude
with a degree in psychology and working too many jobs she hated, she finally
figured things out.
She now spends her days writing
dark paranormal romance and sexy romantic suspense. Her publishers include
Carina Press, Harlequin Nocturne and NAL/Signet Eclipse (Penguin). Regardless
of genre, she always includes a happy ending. When she’s not creating stories
she loves spending time with her husband and family.
