About WICKED SEXY
A badass ex-Special Ops officer and a smartass hacker fight a dangerous enemy…and a blistering attraction to each other. Connor Hughes is an ex-special ops officer, CEO of Metrix Security, and bonafide badass. His private security firm is renowned for its effectiveness. He’s renowned for his lethal precision and iron self-control. But when the former Marine meets a gorgeous young hacker with a mouth as smart as her brain, his control unravels in ways he never could have predicted. Tabitha West is a genius MIT dropout with a bad attitude, an obsession with Hello Kitty and piercings in unmentionable places. Tabby amuses herself by outwitting the most secure technology systems on the planet. Known in hacker circles as Polaroid due to her photographic memory, she’s as secretive as she is accustomed to working alone. So when Connor decides she’s the only one who can help him catch a cyber criminal intent on taking down one of his clients, she tells him exactly where he can stick it. But when the cyber criminal turns out to be the Hannibal Lecter of computer crime—and a dark presence from Tabby’s past—Tabby and Connor are drawn into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. They quickly find themselves fighting not only their common enemy, but also an explosive desire that threatens to consume them. When the stakes are this high and the game this deadly, will falling in love be the most dangerous move of all?

Read a sneak peek from WICKED SEXY:
For a moment Connor just examines
my face in silence. There’s a strange tension in him, a stillness, like a held
breath but in his entire body. Then he abruptly swings around in his seat so
he’s facing me, his massive thighs on either side of my bar stool, his booted
feet planted on the floor.
Trapping me.
“What do you think you’re doing?” I
ask, my voice high with panic.
“Got something to say to you. It’s
important, so don’t talk until the end.”
He looks dangerously intense. His
dark eyes are heated, drilling into mine. His cheeks are flushed from the fire,
or from something else, but I don’t have time to think about what that
something else might be because he opens his mouth and starts to speak, and my
brain faints dead away, leaving me to fend for myself.
“I want you. Bad. Don’t know
exactly why, you’re a complete pain in my ass and pretty much the most
contrary, foul-tempered woman I’ve ever met, and you’ve made it really clear
what you think about me, but every time I look at you I have an almost
overpowering urge to touch you, kiss you, do a lot of bad things to you, and I
don’t know how to manage it. Yeah, it might be more prudent for me to keep this
shit to myself, but I know that when you don’t talk about shit it festers, gets
worse, and if the way I feel about you gets any worse I won’t be able to put my
goddamn shoes on in the morning. So I’m putting it out there.”
He takes a breath. Deeply shocked,
I stare at him with my mouth open, my heart up in my throat.
“We’re both professionals. We have
a job to do. And I don’t mix business with pleasure. Ever. But the way I figure
it, we’ve got one more night until the work actually starts, and if I don’t do
something to get you straight in my head I won’t be able to do the job at all.”
He stops abruptly. Then he waits,
watching me with unwavering intensity as I attempt to digest what just
happened.
I whisper in disbelief, “You’re
propositioning me?”
His gaze drops to my lips. When he
looks back into my eyes, his own are burning. “You liked that kiss.”
He gives me time to deny it, but I
don’t. How could I? We both know I’d be lying.
He adds, “And you called me hot, so
I know you don’t think I’m a complete troll, even though you act like you do.”
“That was an accident.”
“Yep.” He nods. “And you fuckin’
hated yourself for it. Which is why I know it was true.”
Things are happening in my body. My
nipples harden, my breath quickens, there is a distinctive throb and ache
between my legs. All because this jarhead I hate just told me he wants to do
bad things to me.
Bad things. Dear God, were any two
sexier words ever spoken?

About WICKED BEAUTIFUL
Life coach and best-selling author Victoria Price has it all: a successful career, fabulous friends, a fantastic penthouse in Manhattan. What she doesn’t have—and doesn’t want—is a husband. Fifteen years ago her high school flame broke her heart so badly she swore she’d never love again. Now she makes millions teaching other women how to be just like her: a ruthless bitch. Drop-dead sexy restauranteur and infamous playboy Parker Maxwell has only three rules for the women he dates: no questions about his past, no expectations for the future, and no spending the night. When he meets Victoria, however, he’s willing to break his own rules if it means sating the explosive desire she arouses in him. What he doesn’t know is that the alluring Victoria Price used to be the mousy Isabel Diaz, the girl he deflowered and dumped long ago. Presented with a perfect opportunity for revenge, Victoria decides the game is on. But when her connection with Parker proves more than just skin deep, she has to make a choice: continue with her plan for payback, or risk her career, her reputation, and her heart by taking a second chance on love?
