~ Synopsis ~
Sparks Fly …
Lines Blur… Hearts Break
Alexander
Avery is rich, powerful and the sexiest man Angeline Hemming has ever laid eyes
on: a man like every woman dreams about.
Angel is not immune to his sensual and ruthless pursuit, and Alex is
intoxicated by the beautiful doctor; overwhelmed with desire like he’s never
known.
As one of
Angel’s profiling cases gets more and more dangerous, Alex finds himself filled
with unfamiliar panic and emotional turmoil; his need to protect her goes
against Angel’s adamant insistence that she doesn’t need his help. He isn’t a man to sit on the sidelines when
the woman he’s obsessed with is threatened, so he takes control to protect her
without telling her of his plans.
Angel’s
fortitude is shaken when her stalker invades not only her personal life but
also those close to her… even when that someone is as powerful and seemingly
untouchable as Alexander Avery.
Professional ethics insist she keep the details or her work secret, even
as their newfound closeness has her yearning to confide in him. But, as Angel’s quest to protect her heart
from Alex’s undeniable pull equals her need to keep him out of a dangerous
situation, circumstances dictate a huge decision; which could have detrimental,
and irreversible consequences for them both.
When danger
threatens and jealousy reaches the boiling point, lies will be told and secrets
kept… Even with the best intentions and the most undeniable connection … the
deepest of loves will be tested.

Instantly,
Angel’s mood changed. He was impeccably dressed in a dark, expertly tailored
navy suit, crisp white shirt, and a silk tie in shades of silvery grey and
navy. She raised her eyebrow and grinned.
“To what do I owe this honor?”
Alex glanced around her office, registering the same elegant style that graced her condo: dark woods, sleek but plush upholstery, fine art, and a Persian rug that covered the majority of the floor in dark teals, ivory, and light mauves. He walked around her desk and took her hand, pulling her up and into his arms.
He’d recognized the bastard he’d just passed in the reception area. After seeing his face, he did recall the billboards and commercials for his dry cleaning business.
Alex sighed. His determination to ruin Swanson’s life renewed as he pulled Angel closer. He hated her job, hated the risks that came with it, hated the way it made him feel, and really hated the fucker that just left. If he had his way, he’d never let her out of his sight. But, he couldn’t tell Angel any of that.
“It’s simple. I wanted to look at you. You’re beautiful.”
Angel calmed as his arms wrapped around her and hers slid around his neck of their own volition. His green eyes burned over her face, the intensity out of place for a casual visit. “Well, you’re seeing me,” she said softly. The fingers of her right hand ghosted over his jaw as she met his gaze before her lids dropped and her chin tilted, silently asking for his mouth to find hers.
His lips hovered above hers as he breathed in her sweet scent; he moved the tip of his nose slowly around hers. “Are you okay? Who was that?” Alex wanted to see if she’d tell him the truth.
“Just a subject. Are you gonna kiss me or what?”
He laughed quietly as he teased her mouth with light licks and gentle brushes.
“Depends on the or what.”
Angel giggled. “Oh, baby, don’t tease me.”
“Oh, I will. You can count on it.”
“Promises, promises.”
Alex’s hand moved up her back to thread through her silken hair that was falling in soft waves down her back. His pulse quickened as his mouth finally found hers in a hungry kiss, his tongue invading her mouth until...
