ARE THEY IN TOO DEEP?
Ex-Navy SEAL Cabe Moss always comes when called to duty―at all costs. Even though the death of his fiancée nearly destroyed him, Cabe won’t let his past interfere with any work that has to get done. When his latest task pushes him to team up with FBI Agent Amy Murray, a fierce beauty with the undercover skills to match, Cabe must admit that, for the first time in years, he wants to do more than just complete their mission together…
Amy was born ready for this assignment, but working side-by-side with the the strong, silent, and frustratingly professional Cabe seems to be the biggest challenge of all. But when the sparks begin to fly―and the stakes rise to dangerous heights―the only thing Amy is left worrying about is how she can resist him. Their lives may be in danger, but their hearts hold the biggest risk of all…

Cabe.
Amy’s stomach dropped, and her head spun. Despite
everything, her heart betrayed her and skipped a beat at the sight of him. It
was understandable. Her memory of him had not even begun to do him justice. He
wore a navy blue suit tailored to his swimmer’s frame. The jacket hung open,
fitting snuggly over his wide shoulders. A pale blue shirt stretched perfectly
across his trim torso. She’d bet dollars to donuts that there was one of those
hugely attractive six-packs beneath the soft-looking cotton.
She watched him greet one of the analysts assigned to the
project, his back now to her. Damn, that butt.
Which she shouldn’t be studying. Because the guy was a
jerk. There was no other word for him.
He was joined by the men she’d seen him sitting with in
the bar. One was tall, like a Nordic Viking. The other one was equally built,
with chestnut hair and a broad grin. They had an easy confidence. It irked her.
Cunningham had joined Cabe and was shaking his hand. Her
stomach sank even further as she realized what he was about to do. Yup, there
it was. He lifted his hand in her direction, and Cabe’s eyes met hers.
No freaking response. Wow.
Nothing.
A body-language expert would get absolutely zero from him.
No telltale lines of concern between his brows, no curl of
a smile in recognition. No Oh my god I am so freaking sorry for being a jerk
and leaving you standing alone at the bar in front of a room full of people.
As hard as she focused on keeping her gaze equally
neutral, she knew she was failing. If her cheeks felt hot—and by her guess were
likely a little pinker than normal—there was nothing she could do to control
it. Her breathing was a little more erratic than normal. But she took a deep
breath as Cabe walked toward her.
“Cabe Moss,” he said calmly, offering her his hand. “Eagle
Securities.” His tone was even, not a hint of recognition. Had she been that
bland, that uninteresting that he couldn’t even remember her? Amy tried to
clear the thought. If he truly didn’t remember her, it was a good thing. It
would make working with him even easier.
“Agent Amy Murray.” She reached for his hand, and memories
of shaking it in the bar crashed through her. It was just as warm as she’d
remembered, and large, his handshake firm and confident.
Not even a freaking blink from him. Or a wink. Or an extra
squeeze of the hand. No, he just let go of her hand after a completely
appropriate length of time.
Goddamn.

The
tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by
the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a.
New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we
should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be
bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car
maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running
strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up
in Canada were I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him.
Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs
earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either
could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.
I’ve
wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards
or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions
everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.
