Cara Michaels is not looking for romance. She just wants to finish the job--restoring a historic Victorian home to its former glory. She knows how to handle a hammer, a wrench, or a chainsaw, but handling an evil spirit is something else.

When the house Cara is working on erupts with paranormal activity, she finds out that Mal is not just a random, hot-as-hell neighbor. He and his brothers have been staking out the place, but the evil spirit is much more interested in Cara. Mal's finally got someone to fight for... if he can take the heat.

Excerpt from Keep Me Close
The sun crawled westward, hotter every minute. Vinny kept walking, relieved to be out of the creep's car, but aware that this was not a great spot to be stranded. A low, pulsing headache began in the back of her neck and slowly spread upward. Sweat trickled down her face and the back of her neck in a steady stream. Her jeans were plastered to her skin. She wanted water. She needed water. She waited as long as she could to drink the last drop from her bottle, but it was mid-afternoon now, and things were starting to look pretty bad.

She automatically looked behind her every five minutes or so, hoping, praying that some speck in the distance would turn out to be a good Samaritan in an air conditioned SUV filled with lemonade.

Nothing.

Then she did a double take. Something glinted in the distance, the flash of sunlight on chrome.

She turned toward it and waited. Through the shimmering heat, a shape appeared. It was a motorcycle, not a car.

She moved to the very edge of the baking-hot asphalt and held up one hand, waving to it.

A miracle occurred.

The bike started to slow down.

She watched as the motorcycle slowed further, then stopped. The guy driving it put one foot on the ground, steadying the bike. He pulled his helmet off and pushed his black hair away from his face.

Wow.

Vinny was glad she had her sunglasses on, because she knew she was ogling him. He was hot. Smoking hot. All bad boy in faded jeans and a shiny black leather jacket.

Are you kidding me? Vinny thought. The one person to stop looks like more of a threat than the guy who left me here?

The guy looked her over, too, though she couldn't tell what he was thinking behind those very pretty eyes.

"You need a ride?"
