Chains

An all new novel of erotic suspense

They weren’t friends. They weren’t enemies. The only thing the three girls had in common was the high school they went to in Madison, Ohio—until one tragic night. Now, fifteen years later, they’re returning home where passion—and danger—await…
Renee Lincoln was the homecoming queen—with the perfect boyfriend and the perfect life. After that horrible night, she rebelled the only way she knew how: by submitting to her wildest fantasies…

Tall, blonde, and athletic, Lacey Talbot was a golden girl with a bright future. She’s found success as a photographer, but no man has ever been able to satisfy her. No man but the bad boy she left behind…

Sherra Salinger has always looked like a princess out of some fairy tale. The books she writes, though, stem from the nightmare of that one night. And she shrinks from any man’s attention—especially the one stalking her…

They’re coming back to Madison—and it won’t be happy reunion. There are three men, all dangerous in a different way. And when each of them surrender their bodies to the heat, when they succumb to desire, they’ll find the safety they desperately need…

Excerpt (part three)

Instead, she settled back in that hard, uncomfortable, miserable excuse of a chair and drew a knee to her chest. Resting her chin on her knee, she asked, “Any luck finding the driver?”

Seth gave a disgusted snort. “Hell, no. Even in a place as small as Madison, there are a ton of dark sedan type cars.” He slid her another look. “You sure you didn’t get the make? A Ford emblem on the back? Anything?”

Lacey shook her head. “Sorry. I’m not exactly car-minded under the best of circumstances.” Her mouth suddenly dry, she licked her lips and reluctantly thought about just why it hadn’t been the best circumstances.

A minute ago, she’d been trying to focus on anything other than Seth, but now she would have been very happy to think of him. Or that one night she tried damn hard to forget.

Anything but what she’d seen earlier.

It was a terrible thing, seeing somebody on the ground, helpless while a couple of tons of metal plowed straight towards her. Even worse when it was a friend.
Seth nodded, taking the chair across from hers. She was glad—at first—that he hadn’t sat down next to her. But then she realized that sitting across from him made it damn hard not to look at him. He’d always been too damn easy on the eyes and the past fifteen years had only improved that fact of life.

It was a fact she didn’t want to enjoy, either. She didn’t want to notice that he’d started cutting that midnight black hair, but not all the way. It was still long enough for a woman to run her hands through, framing that narrow face, just long enough to brush the collar of his shirt. His eyes were the color of dark chocolate and his eye lashes were almost ridiculously long and curly. What kind of guy needed eyelashes like that?

Unlike his twin Sherra who had to slather down with SPF 50 whenever she went out in the sun or end up looking like a lobster, Seth was tanned. Very nicely tanned—and she knew it was because he spent a lot time outside.

At places like the lake outside of town…where she liked to go to shoot pictures, where he liked to go to fish—or at least pretend to fish, wearing nothing but a pair of jeans and beat-up tennis shoes.

Her brain went back on its little stroll down memory lane and she remembered that day. A hot, muggy summer day when she had come home for a short visit five years ago. Her trip had been a last-minute one and she hadn’t realized until she got home that her parents had taken a quick trip of their own and she was alone in the house. Instead of heading back to her empty apartment in [area near New York] , she’d decided to stay in Madison and just relax a little. After sleeping in late and helping herself to some of her mom’s homegrown tomatoes for breakfast, Lacey had gathered up her gear, climbed on her sadly neglected mountain bike and headed for the lake.

Hot days like that one usually had a bunch of people gathered at the southern end for swimming. The northern end wasn’t as easily accessible and that’s where a lot of guys headed for fishing. That had been her destination, too, but she was more interested in the area around the lake than any fish in it.

Seeing Seth there had come as a surprise. In high school, Seth had been the typical bad boy, practically straight out of a good girl’s fantasy, dark eyes, a wicked smile, a way of watching you that turned the insides to molten lava. The years since graduating had only increased his appeal.

She’d seen his bike first, a big, mean looking bike that he had built with his own hands. Even though she’d recognized the bike, it had been a surprise to see him there, a fishing pole in hand.

All that nice, golden skin probably came from days spent out on the water.
Like he’d been that day…

Stop it, Lacey! She jerked her attention back to the present, but it didn’t help her focus much. Well, it didn’t help her focus on anything besides Seth.
