It’s time for another snippet from my upcoming release ‘Lethal Sin’ which follows two assassins from opposing criminal organizations, Camille and Mateo, who get thrown together when their bosses go head to head. Camille has information that Mateo wants, but she’s not giving it up. This book will go out FREE to all my newsletter subscribers, so sign up if you haven’t yet! In this scene Mateo took her away from their epic fight in his trunk (a snippet of which can be found on my #WIP Wednesday blog hop post) and now they’re at his house, but Camille isn’t exactly the damsel in distress.

PS – Check out my inspiration picture for Mateo’s house!

“Here’s a tip – don’t lie to me, tell me what we want to know, and you might leave here in one piece.” His voice was dark as he grabbed her arm and hauled her the rest of the way out of the trunk.

“Promises, promises…” she mumbled as he pushed her towards the house, and wow, what a house it was. A stone-faced colonial that stretched out to her left and right and went up two stories lit up the front by landscape lighting. Surrounded by plenty of space and trees on the edges of the property, it was secluded and beautiful. It looked like a house that should be in Better Homes & Gardens, owned by some yuppie rich couple for their weekend escapes, not some brute serving one of the more vicious criminal enterprises on the Eastern Seaboard.

“Like it? Just wait until you see the inside,” he whispered against her ear and she jerked her head away.

“No, thanks. I’m not in the mood for a tour, or to see what china you picked out for the formal dining room. You can just uncuff me and I’ll find my way -”

“Not a chance.” Mateo shoved her forward and up onto the porch as he unlocked the door with a push button code. They stepped into a pitch-dark house, but the incessant beeping from an alarm system had her laughing.

“Worried about bad men coming to take your throw pillows?” Camille grinned as he shut the system off and closed the door. It locked automatically and she noted the push-button code on the inside as well.

Smart motherfucker.

“Mostly worried about naughty girls trying to leave before they’ve been asked to.”

These two are just… fun. I love their banter and the way that neither of them ever back down from a fight. It’s a blast, and it’s why they’re perfect for each other. Their path to figuring that out is just a little different than most, ha! Honestly, I’m so excited about this entire ‘Dangerous Games’ series that I’m having to force myself to follow my writing goals for the year before I can dive into Camille’s backstory in the prequel I’m planning.

Two quick things:

• My latest release ‘Taken by the Enemy‘ was released last weekend and it was an overnight best-seller. I am SO glad that people are loving it as much as I did writing it, and Blushing Books (my publisher) is ecstatic as well. If you haven’t checked it out yet, here are the links: Amazon – Barnes & Noble – Blushing Books
• ‘Security Binds Her‘, the first book in the Thalia series, was advertised on BookBub on Thursday, 3/31. It’s still on sale for just 99 cents until 4/5, so grab a copy if you haven’t yet!
