Blurb:
Brandy
Carver was living her dream of making clothing for real, every day women. When
she gains the wrong kind of attention from a man that doesn’t have “no” in his
vocabulary there’s only one action to take—returning home where she’s safest,
and where she can finally breathe once more.
Anthony
“Crank” Romero, former Marine turned gentleman farmer, is willing to admit he’s
a bit of a ladies man. The truth is he’s only looking for the right woman.
Finding her when she’s got trouble on her tail wasn’t his plan, but he’s not
about to argue when he’s tasked with keeping her safe.
Discovering
Brandy’s interests in the bedroom makes Crank realize they are perfect for each
other. Knowing he can’t let her go, not when she’s his perfect other half,
he’ll do whatever is necessary to ensure that they have a chance at their fated
love.
Be Warned: anal play
Excerpt:
His phone ringing
brought him out of the workout zone he’d fallen into. It also nearly caused him
to drop the weight on his own foot. Thankfully, he managed to catch it—just.
Grabbing up his
phone, Anthony frowned at the caller ID. “Crank here,” he said.
“That’s creepy,
dude, stop that,” Rhys Hollister said to him.
He couldn’t have
stopped the grin if he’d wanted to. “Crank does whatever Crank wants.” He knew
how much the third person speak irritated Rhys. It was half the reason he did
it around his former CO.
“I will beat you
within an inch of your fucking life, Tony.”
Snickering, he let
it drop and eased to sit on the workout bench. “What’s up, boss man?” he asked
in all seriousness.
“I need to ask a
favor, and yes, this will be on me.”
“Okay, what do you
need?” he asked cautiously. While he’d do anything for Rhys, or the other men
from his unit, that particular phrasing had him slightly worried and mildly
curious.
“You may recall
the Carvers took a hit the other day.”
Yeah, he did. “The
youngest was killed, wasn’t she?” he asked quietly.
“So we all
thought. Turns out it was a decoy she’d hired to keep the psycho who thought he
owned her off her tail while she made her way home. Only the guy, a Colton Brody,
got to the woman who was using Brandy’s name, cards, and so forth.”
“Son of a bitch,”
he breathed out. “Was she dating the guy or something?”
“One date from
what Brant and Frank told me. The guy latched onto her and isn’t the sort to
let her go. He’s highly possessive from all the pieces of information we’ve
gathered. He also is part of the NYPD family. His father’s a cop, his father’s
father, and so forth. They have huge history with the force.”
“And cops protect
cops,” Anthony said. Yeah, he knew how that went. The mythical Blue Line wasn’t
really all that mythical if you went head to head with a cop. All you ended up
with was an entire force out to get you. Not good.
“Yeah. She’s filed
paperwork with IA up there, but says that anything against the Brodys tends to
magically disappear if it isn’t misfiled, or incorrectly filled out. Funny how
that shit tends to happen with the most rotten of the bunch.”
Rhys sounded
pissed. Perfectly understandable from Anthony’s point of view. “I take it that
Brant’s going to do something with his connections?” It was his baby sister,
after all. Of course the man would do something.
“Yeah, and Frank
as well. Not quite sure what that particular Carver has planned. Quite frankly,
I don’t think I want to know. I like the plausible deniability of things when
it comes to shit like that.”
Something else
Anthony understood fully. Snorting out a laugh, he rubbed a hand over his head.
“So what do you need from me?”
“They need someone
to help keep a watch on her. While they are busy digging into Brody’s life, his
family’s lives, and everything else to do with them on top of the NYPD, they
need someone to protect her.”
“Guard dog duty
then,” he said.
“More or less,
yeah. It’ll be more than that. Oh, and I should mention Theresa’s fully on
board with this. It was her suggestion, actually. Mostly I think because she
knows her own boys and how overprotective they can get.”
“Smothering is the
word you’re looking for, Rhys.”
“Shut up,” he
muttered.
He grinned. Rhys
was a big brother as well, so he damn well knew the point Anthony was trying to
make. Especially since Rhys’s own baby sister was married into the Carver clan.
To Brandy’s twin no less.
