Blurb
Wounded
in action, the only thing former Navy Seal turned security expert,
Archer Lincoln wants is to be left alone. But when he finds himself
the focus of the tabloids and gossip columns, he has no choice but to
go to the enemy for help.
Ambitious
New York Beat reporter Trinity Black wants to move to the news desk.
She knows it’s where she belongs, even if nobody else thinks so.
But the only way to do that is to snag the story of a lifetime. When
she is approached by Archer for help rehabbing his image, she is
reluctant to help. After all, she isn’t exactly his favorite
person. Especially not after an article previously written about him
by her. But knows this is the one thing she needs to propel her to
where she wants to be, so Trinity agrees. But as time passes and she
gets to know him, Trinity realizes he isn’t the man she and
everyone believes he is. And Archer gets to know her, he too realizes
he’s been wrong about her. Can these two, stop fighting long enough
to fall in love, or will their plans blow up in both their faces?
Excerpt
His
plan was ridiculous. Outrageous. So why was she so tempted?
Because he was dangling an irresistible lure in front of me. Damn
him. She’d do anything to get the business reporter’s beat.
“Well?”
he prompted.
Trinity
shook her head. “Can’t. I don’t want to compromise my
journalistic integrity. I’m sure you’ve heard of that, right?”
“Isn’t
it a little late to be thinking about that? Considering your line of
work.”
She
frowned. “I’ll have you know, all my information is checked and
verified before I write a story.”
He
arched a brow. “Oh really? I seemed to recall a story you did about
a CEO that caused a lot of trouble, and you nearly paid a heavy price
for that mistake.”
“Yeah,
don’t remind me,” she muttered.
“So,
I’ll ask you again, will you help me?”
Trinity
sighed. “How do I know you won’t renege on me?”
He
made the sign of the cross on his chest. “You have my word.”
“Not
good enough.”
He
sighed in frustration. “I’ve already offered you broad access to
Sentinel, as well as the identity of my father’s successor, what
more do you want?”
She
considered it for a moment. “I don’t know if I should take the
chance on this blowing up in both our faces. It’s too much of a
risk, especially on my part. I’ve already made one huge mistake; I
don’t need to make another.”
“Don’t
tell me you aren’t the least bit tempted? The two of us together
would be explosive.”
Before
she could respond, he lowered his head, taking her lips with his. The
only thing she could do was give into it. He smelled like soap,
aftershave, and man. He tasted of mint, warmth, and subtle sweetness.
An intoxicating mixture.
When
their kiss ended, Trinity reached up and slapped him as hard as she
could, before brushing passed him, hurrying inside and across the
ballroom, while Archer stared at her retreating back. Perhaps he may
have laid it on a little bit too thick? Damn!
