Heat
Aubrey Irons - 2015
Hudson Banks; the dominant, tattooed, womanizing, ex-Marine-turned-billionaire who runs God-knows-what at my late father’s company. Oh, and he’s sexy as all f**k, and he damn well knows it. He’s like a gasoline fire; a scorchingly hot disaster, and if I’m not careful, I’m going to get burned. I’m on track to be the youngest New York State Senator ever elected; the bright, gutsy, good-girl media darling. Except my campaign funding just went dry, and it looks like the only solution is coming from the last person on Earth I’d ever want to take anything from. Oh, and it turns out bad-boy, tough-guy Hudson will be shadowing me 24/7 after he makes it clear that he’s in charge of "protecting the investment". Yeah, just perfect; a reckless, irresistible d*ck like Hudson Banks is the last person I need being “in charge” of anything to do with me. Especially when I still can’t forget the taste of his lips or the feeling of that massive hardness I know he’s packing between his legs. It’s not fair that he’s even hotter now than he was back then. It’s not fair that those smoldering, arrogant eyes and that cocky, panty-melting grin still make me warm in places they shouldn’t. And it’s definitely not fair that five years later, I still can’t get him out of my head. So it looks like I’ve got two races on my hands: the one for election, and the one against the burning heat threatening to tear us both apart. But on the sprint to the finish line, what happens when the man who has everything comes up against the one thing he can’t have?

She clings to me like I’m a lifeline, and the sensation of her nails on my shoulders makes my blood go wild in my veins. I devour her. Taste every drop. I’m sure she doesn’t have a lot of sexual experience. I don’t care. I want her. I ache for her. Despite her inexperience, she’s enthusiastic, turned on. She wants me, wants this, desires to know everything I have to teach her. Gives her sultry, delicious, untouched body to me to do with as I please. Before long we’re both in way too deep. Not just because she works for me, but because I am far more damaged than a naïve girl like her could ever imagine. And worse still, it turns out Gemma has an unforeseen connection to my past that makes it even more dangerous for me to trust her. In the end, I know that if I stay with her I can only destroy her completely… GEMMA Aston Chandler is hot as sin.

No, something about him is hotter, deeper, oozes an aura of danger. He’s dark and sexy and compelling, with strong features and bold gray eyes. A tall, brooding man. Before I know what’s happening, Aston is pursuing me. And then he’s kissing me, breathing me in, taking me in a possessive manner that is so intoxicating. Aston makes me feel things I’ve never felt before, that I’m totally clueless about. But I can’t stop myself, even if it means danger. I want to know what he can do to me. For me. I want to know what turns him on and how I can please him. More than I’ve wanted anything in my entire life. Unfortunately, Aston Chandler’s life is more complicated than I could ever have imagined, and his old personal demons will haunt both of us in ways that will threaten to destroy the fragile relationship we are only just starting to build.
