Detective Ashton
Chambers is ready to quit the police force, but he won’t until he
puts the man responsible for his sister’s murder behind bars. No
easy task. In fact, the mission is proving to be almost impossible.
Though his day job stresses him out, his social life has taken a turn
for the better, thanks to a sassy bar owner, Dani Eubanks.
After two broken
engagements, Dani is not looking for a happily-ever-after. She tried.
Twice. Failed. Twice. Won’t try again. She can’t rely on
her judgment, and no way will she allow her heart to get crushed a
third time. But Ashton is irresistible, and when a dangerous turn of
events puts her in the crosshairs of an international gun trafficker,
he’s the only one she trusts with her life…and her heart.

You saw him murder your father, Jacob. What more do you need to convince you
that this is justice—delayed—but stilljustice?”
“You had no right—”
“I not only had the right, but the duty to follow the leads. If I
hadn’t followed protocol and done everything by the book, there would have been
a federal investigation. Put yourself in my shoes. Would you have told me if
the tables were turned?” She paused and lowered her voice. “You’re raw, I get
it. I’m sorry we didn’t have a chance to discuss this right after thearrest.
I’ve been tied up with paperwork—you know what that’s like. I’m sorry your
uncle murdered your father. I could not have predicted that. The wound of your
father’s death never healed—and this forced you to relive that night.”
“Family matters, but maybe it’s different with you. You’re so cold, so matter of fact about your
sisters’ deaths. Maybe they didn’t mean as much to you as my father and uncle
do—did.”

As the danger mounts for Tyler,, can he wrestle free of his past and lure Regan away from her Senator? Join our handsome hero as he attempts to win back his love in this exciting and steamy page turner, the fourth of the sexy, contemporary Beguiling Bachelor romance series.
Excerpt from Besotted:Regan was just too damn alluring in that dress for him to accept that he couldn’t have her if he wanted her.He was an idiot. He should have told her years ago. He should have told everyone. Despite the tongue- lashing he was silently giving himself, Tyler was certainly no fool. “The professor” to his friends, he was generally serious and professional. He had the smarts necessary to obtain both an MBA and a law degree, and he was now CEO of LHRE and on hiatus from one of the fastest growing tech companies in the country. He kept his cool in general, but again and again he behaved like an idiot around Regan.Since that damn frog almost thirty years ago, he had loved no one but Regan. Sometimes they made it work together, like in high school, but most times not. His feelings were unchanged, but something always stopped him from declaring his love and asking her to do the same. This time it was something insurmountable.And yet Tyler couldn’t stay away. He was the proverbial moth to the flame, flirting with disaster every time he flirted with her. He had promised to stay away, to keep her safe,but the attraction was undeniable. Yep, prize idiot.Returning to the ballroom after the latest threats, Tyler briefly considered sharing the conversation, coming clean with Regan and perhaps moving their relationship forward. He was at a fork in the road but remained silent, Tyler knew he was on the wrong path but couldn’t summon the will to fix it. Not only were his problems unsolvable, but she was involved with Brandon. Tyler felt hopeless.He was preoccupied just as Regan accused, but Tyler tried to give Regan the attention she deserved. He failed miserably until Regan suggested they just leave. That got his attention. Who knew when he would hold her in his arms again.“Come dance with me again. It would be a crime to waste that dress.”Encircling Regan in his arms, his body responded to her nearness, even as his mind worried over the earlier texts. He was unaware of his hand stroking her back, fingers lightly skimming over her bare skin. He wasn’t thinking clearly when he pulled her close or when he dropped kisses on her hair. He wasn’t paying attention, just acting on instinct, Regan was responding, her breath growing uneven, her hands clinging to his shoulders.
