Begin this story with one certainty…I am not the hero. He’s used to breaking the law. Not protecting and defending… Logan Sterling knows the criminal underworld. He knows how to run cons, he knows how to ruin lives, and he knows how to handle danger. What he doesn’t do? Uh, save the day. Play the hero. And, yet…he is currently being blackmailed into doing just that unfortunate job. He’s been forced to work up close—intimately close—with gorgeous and infuriating CIA operative Charlotte Webb. There is truly no rest for the wicked in this world—and he is very, very good at being wicked. Sigh. Before this job is done, he knows that he will make Charlotte wish that she’d never met him. She’s his twenty-four, seven companion. He’s her worst nightmare. Charlotte Webb isn’t exactly thrilled with her new job. Playing the assistant to wild, bad boy Logan is not on her top ten list of activities. But she needs him in order to gain entrance into a world filled with some internationally wanted bad guys. So she’ll pretend to be Logan’s new assistant, she’ll try to control him as the man jumps from one wild scene to another, and then…well, when the situation demands it, she’ll even act the part of his lover. Sacrifices must be made, after all. But she will not actually fall for the man. Even if he is an exceptionally skilled kisser. And even if he—maybe—has a few redeeming qualities buried deep, deep beneath his sexy, smiling surface. She follows the law. He loves to break the rules. She saves his life—twice—and she drives him crazy with desire. The longer Logan is with Charlotte, the more he wants her. And when a sick jerk develops an obsession with Logan’s CIA operative, he just has to step up and show the world just how deadly he can be. Because it’s all fun and games in Logan’s world…until someone tries to hurt the woman who belongs to him. End this story with one certainty…A bad guy will destroy every threat in his path if it means saving the woman he loves.
