Naomi:
When I was kidnapped I thought only of survival. I don’t thrive
well in chaos. That’s why I gave my captors exactly what they
wanted: my skill with computers. Making millions for a crime lord who
kept me imprisoned in his basement compound kept my family safe. When
he was taken out, I thought my ticket to freedom had arrived. Wrong.
I traded one keeper for another. This time I’m in the hands of a
scarred, dark, demanding Russian who happens to be the head of the
Bratva, a Russian crime organization. He wants my brain and my body.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t intrigued, but I can’t be a
prisoner forever...no matter how good he makes me feel.
Vasily:
At a young age, I was taught that a man without power is a puppet for
all. I’ve clawed—and killed—my way to the top so that it is my
heel on their necks. But to unify the fractured organization into an
undefeatable machine, I need a technological genius to help me steal
one particular artifact. That she is breathtaking, determined, and
vulnerable is making her more dangerous than all of my enemies
combined. But only I can keep her safe from the world that she now
inhabits. Soon, I must choose between Naomi and Bratva law. But with
every day that passes, this becomes a more impossible choice.

Do you have a hearing deficit?” She frowns. “Because at first I was concerned that perhaps it is your English, but you seem to speak it quite well. Maybe it is your hearing then? You are young to have hearing problems. Is it hereditary? The most common birth defect is diminished hearing. Genetics are responsible for at least sixty percent of hearing deficits in infants so it’s most likely your hearing loss is due to your parents. Were one or more of your parents hearing challenged?”
I
look at her blankly.
“Deaf.
That’s what I mean by hearing challenged. Challenged is the word
you’re supposed to use instead of other things. Like instead of
mute, voice challenged. Or instead of handicapped, it’s physically
challenged. I learned that in college. I’m socially challenged, but
maybe it doesn’t translate into Russian. You’re Russian, right?”
“It
doesn’t. There was a Russian student in my art history course. Your
accent was similar. I remember him telling me he was from a certain
region—southern maybe? I didn’t much like the course. My advisor
forced me to take it, saying that I needed some liberal arts to make
my education well rounded, but learning about painting and politics
did not assist me in creating better code. I like to write code. Code
makes sense. Art does not.”

This
is a pen name for Jill
Myles.
Jill
Myles has been an incurable romantic since childhood. She reads all
the 'naughty parts' of books first, looks for a dirty joke in just
about everything, and thinks to this day that the Little House on the
Prairie books should have been steamier.
After
devouring hundreds of paperback romances, mythology books, and
archaeological tomes, she decided to write a few books of her own -
stories with a wild adventure, sharp banter, and lots of super-sexy
situations. She prefers her heroes alpha and half-dressed, her
heroines witty, and she loves nothing more than watching them
overcome adversity to fall into bed together.
Thank you for the post!
