She’s been a very bad girl…and it’s going to take a big, bad marine to take her in hand. Rose Hammond has had a crush on older, harder West O’Connor ever since he was put in charge of protecting her when she was a bratty teenager. Now she’s an adult, she’s still bratty and tormenting him is her favorite pastime. However, she’ll have to be good if she ever has a hope of fulfilling her dream of being a bounty hunter like her older sister, so when she’s assigned on a mission with West, she’s determined to be on her best behavior. It's either that or she'll be sent home. West is on a mission of revenge, and he has no intention of touching his boss’s little sister. But Rose can’t help herself, and the more she pushes, the more tempted he is to give her the punishment she’s asking for—one they’ll both enjoy. When he gives in, it’s explosive, and keeping things temporary begins to feel impossible. But can West hang onto his anger, and to Rose all at once? Or will he have to let one go?
Author
Jackie has been writing fiction since she was eleven years old. Mild mannered fantasy/SF/pseudo-literary writer by day, obsessive romance writer by night, she used to balance her writing with the more serious job of librarianship until a chance meeting with another romance writer prompted her to throw off the shackles of her day job and devote herself to the true love of her heart – writing romance. She particularly likes to write dark, emotional stories with alpha heroes who've just got the world to their liking only to have it blown wide apart by their kick-ass heroines. She lives in Auckland, New Zealand with her husband, the inimitable Dr Jax, two kids, two cats and some guppies (possibly dead guppies by the time you read this). When she's not torturing alpha males and their stroppy heroines, she can be found drinking chocolate martinis, reading anything she can lay her hands on, posting random crap on her blog, or being forced to go mountain biking with her husband.
