Halston returns to steamy Tarpon Springs, Florida, where a
hell-raising bad boy prepares to get down and dirty for the woman he
loves.
How
could she have been so stupid? When Jessica Cross decides to give her
violently jealous boyfriend—the otherwise influential and charming
Dennis Stavros—a second chance, she very nearly becomes a
statistic. After weeks of healing from a broken rib and collapsed
lung, and with Dennis behind bars, Jessica finally feels ready to
come out of hiding. But will she ever be able to take a chance on
love again with someone new?
Mixed
martial arts fighter Slade Martin knows he has a bad reputation.
Hell, he's probably earned it. So it won’t be easy to convince
beautiful, vulnerable Jessica that she can trust him—that from the
moment she walked into his life, she’s been the only one he’s
wanted. Powerful and confident, Slade knows he can honor his vow to
protect Jessica body and soul. Winning her heart will be another
matter . . . but a woman like Jessica is worth the fight.

Excerpt
Slade
took her hand and led her out of the Pier toward her car. He leaned
against it and pulled her to him. His head came down to her neck and
he began to kiss her softly. Jessica tried to pull away, but he
tightened his hold. “Thought you never got jealous.”
Jessica
whipped her head back in order to look at his face, which was
sporting a huge grin. “Jealous? Please. I am not jealous.”
“You
are.”
“Slade.
Please. I have to go back to work, and you’re still dripping beer
from your hair.”
“I
think I haven’t made things clear to you yet. I want you to
listen.” He nuzzled her neck, placing feather-light kisses in that
sweet spot that made her want to concede to any request he could
possibly make. The vibration of his voice against her skin made her
erupt into goose bumps. His grip was tight around her waist.
“Everything
is perfectly clear, Slade. No need to explain” Her voice came out
hoarse.
“I
don’t have a harem. I don’t have groupies. I’m not a virgin,
but neither are you. The past is the past and I won’t make excuses
for it. I don’t like drama, Jessica. I won’t stand for it. I want
peace in my life.”
Jessica
snorted, tapping his beer-dampened hair. “Yeah, drama free. Peace.”
“I
never lied to any woman I’ve slept with. I don’t normally do
relationships. I have fun. They knew that. The problem with women is
that they think they are going to be the one that changes me. That is
a delusion they made up, and certainly not something I led them to
believe.”
“So
this is the part when you tell me about all the fun you want to have
with me?” She tried to push back, but he wouldn’t loosen his
grip.
“No,
baby. This is the part when I tell you that with you, little Miss
Drama Queen, I don’t just want to have fun. Why do you think I’ve
been chasing you all this time? Just for some tail? No. I want more.
To be honest, I don’t know how much more. I’ve never really done
. . . this.” He drew back slightly and gestured to the space
between them. “But I can promise you, if I tell you I want
something more with you, I’m not going to be with other women while
I’m with you.”

Info
Sidney
Halston lives her life by one simple rule: “Just do it.” And
that’s exactly what she did. At the age of thirty, having never
written anything other than a legal brief, she picked up a pen for
the first time to pursue her dream of becoming an author. That first
stroke sealed the deal, and she fell in love with writing. Halston
lives in South Florida with her husband and children.
