\\\THIS IS A STANDALONE NOVEL \\\ For more than a decade, life has been one mission after another for Coral Coleman. This time, Coral is on a mission to find the elusive “Ghost,” who Coral believes is responsible for trying to kill her two years ago. Unfortunately for them, they missed her, but in the process took out two of Coral’s teammates—that, Coral takes personally. She comes one step closer to finding him when a case involving Bennett Industries falls into her lap. There’s just one problem: The current CEO of Bennett Industries is Liam Bennett, the man who was Coral’s best friend-turned lover-turned heart breaker when he walked away from her without any explanation and married another woman. For the last five years, Liam Bennett has been on his own mission—maintaining control of Bennett Industries while plotting to take down the one man who has kept him from the love of his life. When Coral re-enters Liam’s world for this case, once-buried feelings emerge, secrets are revealed, but most of all, a connection that cannot be denied resurfaces. Liam resolves to put this case to an end and reclaim the woman he’s always wanted. He will have to overcome vindictive family members, betrayal by someone in his inner-circle, and most importantly, have to work to convince the very stubborn Coral that with him is where she belongs.

Writing has always been Tasha Edwards' means of escape. When the world around her was falling apart, and the adults she was supposed to depend on turned on her, it was her vivid imagination and storytelling that got her through the rough times. As an adult, it is this very passion for writing that has made her a New York Times' bestselling author. She couldn't ask for much more, with a thriving career and now being reunited with the older sister who always looked out for her. Tasha's on the cusp of writing the fourth book in her highly popular series. But what happens when the words stop coming? After months of writers' block, Tasha looks to somewhat unconventional means to distract her from her inability to write; a distraction by the name of Jeremy Bennett, the very sexy cousin of her new brother-in-law. Jeremy noticed Tasha the first time he laid eyes on her. He also told himself she was off limits. That look of sadness that always hid deep in those golden-colored orbs warned him that she had an ugly past. It takes one to know one. After one dance with Tasha at his cousin's wedding, Jeremy promises himself he'll keep away from the beautiful woman with skin the color of dark chocolate, killer curves, but a dark past. Now, if he can only keep her out of his dreams at night. He manages for a while, but when Tasha initiates the first move, can he turn her away? Is Tasha ready for everything that comes with being Jeremy Bennett; floggers, ball gags and nipple clamps included?
