Growing up poor in the slums of Chicago taught me that guys like me don't get any lucky breaks. No second chances. And I never wanted any. Until I saw the woman I love gunned down in the street like an animal. I'm an FBI special agent and so is she. At least she used to be but I stole that away from her. Me. She's better than me. Stronger. And seeing her weaken shatters my hardened heart into a million tiny pieces. Lacy Cobb stole my breath the first time I saw her waltzing in to new agent training rocking a pencil skirt and killer heels. She's a buck twenty of badass Super Girl. And I'll do anything to get the old Lacy back. She blames me for the shooting that left her half the woman she used to be. And I deserve it. It was my fault. I thought I was tough enough to bring down the Chicago mob by going undercover and infiltrating their organization. I should have paid the price but they took her down instead knowing how much it would hurt me. I don't blame her for hating me. But the more she pushes me away the more my body aches for her. I can't eat. I can't sleep. I need her. I need to taste her, and I need to possess her body and soul. I'm going to make her moan and scream my name in passion instead of anger. Then, I'm going to make her my wife whether she likes it or not. The problem? We have a past that makes for a dangerous future. The bad guys are back for their pound of flesh. Now, I'm going to protect her. Whatever it takes. This full-length romantic suspense by best selling author Colleen Charles is meant for mature audiences.

After 26 years in Corporate leadership at a Fortune 500, I discovered people within the organization lacked integrity. I’d always known deep in my soul that I was trying to fit a square peg in to a round hole since I’m the typical creative type. I miss my staff but I don’t miss the corporate world. It’s been said that the Universe will let you know if something isn’t right for you. The first time, it will hit you with a pebble. Then a brick. Then a boulder. Let’s just say that I got flattened. When my fifteen pound toy dog, Nigel, was threatened, I knew it was time to say goodbye. It’s true. Here’s what I found within the first thirty days of being free. Writing stories from my heart that readers love means more to me than working myself in to an early grave for people who only care about their bottom line. My heart has never been more full and my soul has never been more satisfied. I’ve never worked so hard in my life but it doesn’t even feel like work. It’s worth it. All of it. Because it’s about the joy that’s found within the journey. The highs and the lows because I get to write stories for all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, enjoying and recommending the stories that I write. When you share my work with others, nothing is more rewarding. Your word of mouth is my very best friend … that, and your reviews. There is nothing more important to me than all of you. I love to hear from my readers and answer all communications personally.
