The Billionaire Banker, Spencer Reid wanted the dark redhead the first time he slapped eyes on her. Not even the fact that she was his twins’ school teacher, could put him off. From the first time he made her his, he wanted more of her. Him, the well-known womanizer, who was plastered all over the tabloids with a different woman by his side all the time. It was reported that he was the King of slam bam, thank you Mam, sex. Never went back for seconds, never stayed with a woman and since his divorce, never had relationships. The only thing that mattered in his life was his twins. It was all those things that made Jessica weary of Spencer. That and the promise he made to her five years ago. A promise of retribution. Would he still want her when he realized who she was? That she was the one responsible for his children growing up without a mother. When a dark shadow from her past caught up with her, Jessica feared all was lost. Would Spencer be able to hold to his vow to protect and keep her safe? NOTE: This is a steamy romance which contains explicit sexual situations, graphic language, and material that some readers may find objectionable. Excerpt: His eyes that went dark before, suddenly flashed bright silver and she tried to step back. His hands tightened around her arms painfully and she gasped in pain. His jaw tightened and he looked as if cast in stone. His eyes travelled over her face as he connected the woman in front of him with the glitzy blond attorney in his memory. The flash of the dark blue eyes when angry, the slight hesitant gasp when his hot eyes met hers and the proud tilt of her head. “Yes … I see that now. I thought there was something …” “You’re hurting me, Spence.” He gave a short, cold laugh and drew her up against him until she stood on her toes. His nose nearly touched hers and his eyes drilled into hers. “Do you remember our parting words, Lexi?” “Jessica! Lexi was … I don’t use that name anymore.” “I asked you a question.” “Yes.” Jessica was miserable. “Is that what this was about? You whore yourself to me in an attempt to make me soft so I won’t do what I promised.” Jessica gasped and managed to rip her arms from his grasp. She stared at the red mark on his cheek in horror. The burning of her palm testimony that she just slapped him. Her breathing was haggard and her eyes swam in tears. “I am not a whore.” “No? What would you call what you did all those years as an attorney? You whored yourself for money. You had no concern for the ones you destroyed in the process.” “That is not true. I always made sure …” “Except with me. Why is that, Lexi?” “Stop calling me that.” “Answer me. Why did you not make sure with me?” Jessica could not stand the hate and fury that flashed in his eyes and she spun around and ran. The twins and their Grams watched in concern as she ran past them with tears running down her cheeks. Spencer close on her heels.
