Synopsis
The moment I saw her, I wanted her.
I tried to resist her, but Race had other plans.
One night, in a moment of weakness, I gave in to my desires.
I still had a job to do before her world collapsed.
If I failed at finding the person behind the threats, I could lose her forever.
Temptation can be dangerous.
Excerpt
“You’re really purdy,” she slurred with a lopsided grin, running her finger down my cheek.“That’s it. No more drinks for you,” I said, dragging the glass away from her.
“No! I’ve only had three,” she said as she lurched forward, pulling the drink out of my hands. “I’m enjoying myself. I’ve had a bitch of a week and I deserve to let loose a little.”
I held my hands up. “You’ve actually had four martinis, but anything you want, princess.”
Her eyes grew into little slits. “I’m not your princess,” she slurred, sounding completely adorable. My cheeks hurt as I smiled.
“I’m going to take you home now. I think you need to sleep it off.”
“Last time I checked,” she said before hiccupping, “you’re not my daddy.” A slow smile crept across her face. She scooted closer and whispered, “Unless that’s your thing.”
She tried to wink, but both eyes closed, one after the other. I leaned into her space, a breath away from her lips.
“It’s not my thing, but I’m happy to act out your fantasies. But I don’t think you want to cross that line. Once you go there, there’s no going back.” I stared into her eyes.
“Oooh.” Her eyes grew wide. “Is that supposed to scare me, Mr. DeLuca?”
I didn’t move. “I’m just giving you fair warning. You’ve had a few drinks, and I won’t take advantage of that. I’m just telling you how it is.”
“You’re full of yourself.” Her warm, sweet breath caressed my lips as she spoke. All I wanted to do was reach out, pull her face to mine, and kiss her full, beautiful lips.
“I’m sure of myself and confident in my abilities, yes. That’s entirely different than being full of myself.” I licked my lips, testing her. Her eyes dropped to my mouth as her lips parted.
“Another?” Lisa interrupted.
“We’re good,” I replied, keeping my eyes pinned to Race and waving Lisa off.
“Pfft,” Lisa scoffed, stomping away. Race glared in Lisa’s direction.
“She wants you,” she whispered. Was she jealous?
“I don’t want her.”
“She’s a sure thing though.” I leaned closer, leaving very little space between us. “I never liked easy.”
“All men like easy.” Her body swayed, moving so close our lips almost brushed.
Brilliant start to a new series by Chelle Bliss! I have been waiting to see what Chelle had in store after Men of Inked and while this is a new series and can be read alone without having read the Men of Inked Series, I would highly recommend it. Some characters that had guest appearances or secondary roles now take the foreground in ALFA series.
Morgan is cousin to the Gallo clan that remained in Chicago when the Gallos moved to Florida. After running with the wrong crowd as a teen and young adult, Morgan joined the military and walked the straight road. Now with his tours of duty completed, Morgan returns to his home in Chicago to start his civilian life. His mother insists he escort her to a family wedding in Florida as Izzy and James tie the knot.
Thomas Gallo and his partner James own and operate ALFA investigations after leaving the DEA and have come in high demand. They cannot keep up with the workload and have resorted to turning people away. When Thomas offers Morgan a position, it's an opportunity for him to start over, away from Chicago's bad influences, in Florida. Not to mention much better weather.
Morgan's first case is a female workaholic being threatened and blackmailed. She is headstrong and stubborn but Morgan is going to do things his way. The attraction is mutual and Chase finds Morgan giving her a run for her money.....read the rest for yourself!!
I read this book in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. The story flows well and Chelle pulls you in to the characters' lives and you just want to know more and turn the page until there are no more to turn! Morgan is HOT. I can't wait to expand more on James' character! He has been one of my favorites and I love his kink. I cannot wait for Book 2 in this series!
