Part of Series
You only get one first impression, and sometimes you can’t live it down… Rose Murphy slapped Ares Dixon the first time she met him. Now, she’s sleeping with him, but still can’t trust that he really wants more than sex. She’s too different from the women he’s photographed with almost every night. Ares has only wanted one woman since he met Rose, but he’s done some things he shouldn’t have, in order to protect a reputation he doesn’t even want. He’s tired of the way things are with Rose, but he doesn’t know how to make her believe he’s a changed man. When she figures out that Ares cars are being tampered with, Rose will do whatever she can to keep him safe, even putting herself, and her biggest secret, at risk. Her mind is a beautiful thing, but it has a darker side she’s hidden from almost everyone, until allowing it to take over may be the only thing saving her. She’ll have to fight for herself…and for the man who truly loves every part of her. It’s a race to the finish, but will the mechanic and the driver allow love to win?
Author
2018 RWA Steffie Walker Bookseller of the Year 2016 RT Creative Initiatives Award Crystal Perkins has always been a big reader, but she never thought she would write her own book, until she sat down in 2014 and did it. She's now published over 40 books, and has been featured in several anthologies as well. She lived in Las Vegas for over a decade, where you could find her running author events and winning bookseller awards. She's was recently living in North Dakota to be closer to her family, but she is back in Vegas. When she's not reading a few hundred books a year or chasing after her grandson, you can find her watching hockey (Go Knights Go!) and trying to find the perfect shade of lipstick. She loves Star Wars AND Star Trek, but if pushed to choose, it will always be Leia and her crew who come out on top. Her love of all things nerdy comes through in her book characters, no matter the genre. A mac and cheese connoisseur, she travels the world looking for the perfect version, while attending book conventions and signings as a cover for her research. Poutine research is also conducted regularly on her trips. Her first series, The Griffin Brothers, followed four billionaire brothers, and the third book, Creating a Love, was a finalist for a multicultural award in 2014. Her second series, Corrigan & Co. featured a secret society of female spies in Las Vegas. She followed this with Society Girls, which offered a glimpse into the training of the women who are recruited into the Corrigan & Co. Foundation, and the Society. The Company Men series featured the relatives of her secret society of spies. Activate is a Young Adult Sci-Fi standalone novel, and A Kiss Is Just a Kiss is a Romantic Comedy standalone book. If you like something darker, you can find her Horror short stories in the Never Fear anthologies! She’s currently writing about modern day witches in her Burn series, and bridesmaids for hire who solve mysteries in The Maids! In 2020, she will also be starting a hockey novella series.
