I'm going to lay her bare, body and soul, until there is nothing she can hide from me. If running a successful crime empire has taught me anything, it's that everyone has an agenda and coincidences aren't to be trusted. So when a pretty young thing just happens to save my brother from certain death I do what any reasonable man in my position would do. I take her. And I make her talk the way only a man like me can. On her knees, with her bottom red and burning, she swears she knows nothing about the plot to murder my brother. Despite every cell in my body screaming at me to keep her, to claim her for my own, I'm forced to set her free. But as it turns out, Cristina isn't as innocent as she led me to believe. And the secrets she keeps are far more dangerous and deadlier than I could ever have known.
Author

Until 2010, Ashe was a director of a regeneration company before deciding there had to be more to life and leaving to pursue a lifetime goal of self-employment. Ashe has been an avid reader of women’s fiction for many years—erotic, historical, contemporary, fantasy, romance—you name it. Now, at last in control of her own time and working from her home in rural West Yorkshire, she has been able to realise her dream of writing erotic romance herself. She draws on settings and anecdotes from her previous and current experience to lend colour, detail and realism to her plots and characters, but her stories of love, challenge, resilience and compassion are the conjurings of her own imagination. She loves to craft strong, enigmatic men and bright, sassy women to give them a hard time—in every sense of the word. When she’s not writing, Ashe’s time is divided between her role as resident taxi driver for her teenage daughter, and caring for a menagerie of dogs, rabbits, tortoises and a grumpy cockatiel. * From http://www.total-e-bound.com/authorde...
