ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
My heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who helped with this book:
A HUGE thank you to Tony Zanetti for thinking it was a good idea, years ago, for me to change careers from law to writing. Not many husbands would have been so supportive, and I’ve never forgotten that moment.
Thank you to our kids, Gabe and Karlina, for the love, support, and all-around good times. I’m in awe of both of you, every day.
Thank you to my editor, Alicia Condon, and my agent, Caitlin Blasdell, for their encouragement, support, and insightful advice on this and every other book we’ve worked on together.
Thank you to Jim Dorohovich, who came up with the perfect name for this series.
Thank you to the Montana Tech gang for the ideas and fun: Josh and Jamie Beggerly and John and Angie Prendergast. Mermaids, Truly Spiked, and King Pins forever.
Thank you to the rest of the Kensington crew: Alexandra Nicolajsen, Steven Zacharius, Adam Zacharius, Ross Plotkin, Lynn Cully, Vida Engstrand, Jane Nutter, Lauren Vasallo, Lauren Jernigan, Kimberly Richardson, Erin Barker, and Rebecca Cremonese.
Thank you to Jillian Stein for her incredible creativity, strong work, and for being such an amazing friend.
Thanks to my fantastic street team, Rebecca’s Rebels, and their creative and hardworking leader, Minga Portillo. Thanks also to Margarita Coale for her insights and great advice, as well as for her help at signings and with the Rebels.
Thanks also to my constant support system: Gail and Jim English, Kathy and Herb Zanetti, Debbie Smith, Stephanie West, Jessica Namson, Lexi Blake, Joanna Wylde, Asa Maria Bradley, Boone Brux, Kristen Ashley, MJ Rose, and Liz and Steve Berry.
Chapter One
Chapter One
Clarence Wolfe strode up to the entrance of the super-secret sex club as if he had done so a million times before.
Down the street and partially hidden by the branches of a sweeping cherry tree, Dana Mulberry ducked lower in her car and pressed the binoculars to her face so hard they pinched her skin. What in the world was Wolfe doing at a Captive party?
She swallowed. Her heart rate, already thundering, galloped into the unhealthy range. It had taken her weeks to find out about the club and track down the location of the newest party, and yet another week to finagle an invitation to the casual play night as a guest. And the ex-soldier, the beyond hunky badass who’d relegated her immediately to the friend zone, was walking inside like he owned one of the coveted million-dollar memberships?
She shook her head. Twice. When she could focus once more through her binoculars, there Wolfe prowled, clear as day in the full moonlight.
