Worth the Risk Their love was ancient history...until their paths crossed again. Samantha Bennett put Dean Malloy out of her mind five years ago, when he broke her heart after a summer fling. But now he's back in her life, and ready to steal a heritage protection contract that could make or break her career–if he doesn't steal her heart first. Samantha's vowed to hate him, but it's more than anger heating the competition between them. With sparks flying across the conference table and sizzling in every touch, Dean proposes a weekend liaison. Anything to have Sam again–anything to get her out of his system. But the unresolved feelings between them complicate their personal and professional lives, and one wild weekend could turn into a disaster that would destroy the one job that means more to Samantha than anything. Risky Surrender She'll search for treasure but steal his heart. Lucy Davenport made a promise to her father and husband right before they died, and she's vowed to keep it any cost. But when she draws unwanted attention to her secret plans, she's forced to risk everything she's kept guarded. Because the man standing in her way threatens not only her goal but the walls she's carefully constructed around her heart. Keats McCall is an environmental preservationist navigating the globe on behalf of heritage protection. When he catches Lucy at his latest project, he suspects she's up to no good. She's secretive, sexy as hell–and has trouble written all over her. He devises a plan to keep her close so he can watch her. But what he isn't prepared for is just how close he wants to get. His Million-Dollar Risk Determined to make his latest preservation project on Route 66 a success, Connor Gibson will take any good press he can get–even if it means spending a week with a reporter. And even if it’s one from a publication he has good reason to hate. Connor certainly isn’t expecting a spontaneous and undeniably attractive blonde who makes him seriously hot for the press... Charlize Beckett is in deeeep trouble. This is her one chance to prove to her publisher dad that she's a serious journalist, even if she has to pretend she's someone else. Worse, is trying to maintain any objectivity with the way too charming Connor. She can't help but get into all kinds of sexy trouble with him. But by going off the record, Charlie is putting both her reputation and her heart on the line... One Night of Risk It's good girl Malia Davis's turn to be bad. Very bad. Malia has returned to Kauai to retrieve a piece of crystal her sick mother believes has healing properties. Malia thinks her only problem is accessing the “closed to the public” temple where the crystal is buried. She's wrong. She has an even bigger problem—the guy who broke her heart ten years ago. The guy she hates...and still wants oh-so-badly. A former Navy SEAL, security expert Clay Doherty is investigating the thefts at the temple. Malia's presence and the undeniable chemistry between them complicate matters. Certain that Malia is up to something, Clay will do whatever it takes to protect her...even if it means losing her for good.

Hi everyone! Thank you, Shanise, for having me here to
celebrate my new boxed set release! I thought I’d share an excerpt from One
Night of Risk with you today.
One Night of Risk is the fourth and final novella in my Take
A Risk series, and a bonus to the newly bundled boxed set. Each book is a stand
alone, but connected by my heritage protection heroes. Guys who are passionate
about the environment and preserving history, and love adventure. Falling in
love isn't on their radar, but my heroines’ trip them up…big time.
Excerpt from One Night of Risk…
Malia woke to the sound of rain tapping the
window. She stretched her very satiated muscles and before waking fully,
pictured Clay. His gaze full of warmth and passion; his incredible, naked body
as he pushed inside her; his smile, the one filled with mischief when he
reacted to something she said or did.
Turning to her side in hopes of
catching him in slumber, she opened her eyes and her heart bottomed out. She
slid her hand over the cool, abandoned spot as her chest squeezed. She’d
promised herself not to let him in, not to treat last night as anything
special, but the tightness burning a hole behind her ribs said she’d failed
epically at that.
Of course he’d hightailed it out of
here this morning. He’d agreed to stay the night, nothing more, and the stupid
way her heart hurt was ridiculous.
She rolled onto her back and pressed
her fingers to her eyelids to push back the emotion threatening to spill out in
tears she thought had dried up. She wasn’t a teenager anymore and could handle
this.
She didn’t regret their night
together. Not for a single second.
The only thing she regretted was not
waking first and kissing him good-bye with a carefree attitude.
She brought her arms down and
pressed her palms into the mattress, taking a deep breath. She needed to put
last night in the “win” column. Sex multiple times with a sexy man who had
ninja-level seduction skills should probably be at the top of that column
actually.
The ache started to dissipate and
she smiled.
Besides, she was here on a mission and the man
in her bed last night compromised that. She sat up and glanced out the window.
Early summer storms usually passed quickly, but digging in the mud wouldn’t be
fun. And if Clay were onto her, which she suspected he was, she’d better not
trespass again too soon. She wished he’d just come out and tell her he knew
instead of waiting for her to come clean. Didn’t he realize how hard that was
for her?
She closed her eyes and allowed herself one
more vision of his gorgeous everything. One more thought. When she opened her
eyes she wouldn’t spend another second thinking about Clay Doherty.
Only when she did lift her lids, she saw him
standing in the doorway watching her. “Goddammit.”
The Clay in the doorway chuckled and said,
“Good morning to you, too.”
She blinked, but he still stood there. In the
flesh. Her forehead fell into her palm. Her heart did a shimmy. “I thought you
were a mirage.”
He laughed again and the sound was altogether
too delicious. “On a tropical island?” He moved into the room.
She shrugged.
“You thought I’d left.” The bed dipped as he
sat and handed her a cup of something that smelled like hot chocolate with
cinnamon.
“Maybe.”
His brows screwed up in disbelief.
“Can you blame me?”
