Katee Robert
Book ArchiveContemporarySuspenseFire
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katee Robert begins a smoking hot new series about the O'Malley family-wealthy, powerful, dangerous and seething with scandal.
Teague O'Malley hates pretty much everything associated with his family's name. And when his father orders him to marry Callista Sheridan to create a "business" alliance, Teague's ready to tell his dad exactly where he can stuff his millions. But then Teague actually meets his new fiancée, sees the bruises on her neck and the fight still left in her big blue eyes, and vows he will do everything in his power to protect her.
Everyone knows the O'Malleys have a dangerous reputation. But Callie wasn't aware just what that meant until she saw Teague, the embodiment of lethal grace and coiled power. His slightest touch sizzles through her. But the closer they get, the more trouble they're in. Because Callie's keeping a dark secret-and what Teague doesn't know could get him killed.
Here I thought I was getting another “playboy needing a wife to save the family business” story, but instead I got this awesome Mafia romantic suspense. I loved how the author not only gave us Teague and Callie’s story, but we are given insights into some of the other characters’ POV as well. The author does a great job threading all the elements into one cohesive plot: romance, family dynamics, outside threats, war and alliances and some things you don’t see coming (or you wish didn’t happen).
A taste
He pushed into her in one smooth move, bringing them as close as two people could possibly be, stealing her breath and her heart along with it.
"You consume me, angel. It's the most welcome kind of distraction, but I can't get through an hour without thinking about you. Thinking about this." He dragged his tongue over her center, circling her clit.
"Marry me, angel. Today. Right now." He took her hand. "Say yes and I'll spend the rest of my days doing my damnedest to protect you from harm and make you happy."
