One heartbeat. That’s all that separates us from the life we’ve known and everything that could change it. One kiss. Was all it took to change mine. Theo was rich and handsome, brilliant and powerful, but he wasn’t a hero or a prince charming. And let’s be honest, I wasn’t exactly a damsel in distress. I wanted Theo, so I took him. Hard and passionately without any regard for the consequences. At first it was just sex. Wild sex. Fantastic sex. But once wasn’t enough and I got greedy. In all fairness, so did he. One thing led to another and before either of us knew what was happening our lives were tangled up and messy. Inextricably linked. I’d fallen in love with a stranger. And that was the problem. Theo Sutherland was a man with a dark past and a price on his head. My life was at stake just for being with him.  One kiss was all it took to make me believe in love. One heartbeat was all it took to turn him into the hero he never thought he’d be.  THE TEASE SERIES are standalone novels that can be read alone or in order: Tease (#1) Stripped (#2) Tempt (#3) Burn (#4) 5 Dirty Sins (#5) 6 Dirty Secrets (#6) 7 Dirty Lies (#7) |

Reclusive magazine exec Ethan Talley is furious when his business partner hires a photographer—a gorgeous photographer who insists on speaking her mind, damn it—to take pictures for an upcoming article. No matter how badly he wants the woman…under him, over him, against the nearest wall…he has reasons for not wanting to be on camera anymore, and his scars are only one of them. It takes approximately two seconds for Lissa Kingsman to recognize Ethan as the popular YouTube gamer who fell off the planet years ago. But this Ethan is different than the charming man she used to watch, and the crush she had on him then is nothing compared to the way she’s lusting after the brooding man he is today. If sex is all he can give her, fine. Why not use that bearskin rug in her studio for something other than a prop? But she’s determined to put a chink in his armor, no matter how much he resists. Each book in the Gamers series is a standalone, full-length story that can be enjoyed out of order.
