From passion to betrayal
and back again...

He knows she’s coming for him...
And he’s ready to turn the tables!

When tabloid columnist Elena Rollins shows up uninvited to a private, star-studded party at Mesa Falls, Gage Striker sees red. Though it’s been six years since their abrupt breakup, the scars—and attraction—are still fresh. Certain his ex has a score to settle, the playboy banker vows to protect his ranch’s scandalous secrets. Protecting his heart is a different story.

Introduction

“I’m giving you a choice,” Gage clarified.

“You can speak with me privately about whatever it is you’re doing in my house, or you can let my team escort you off the premises. Either way, I can promise you there won’t be any cameras involved.”

“How positively boring. Maybe using cameras could spice things up a bit.”

She gave him a once-over with her dark gaze.

“What will it be, Elena?” he pressed, keeping his voice even. “Talk or walk?”

“Very well.” She held up her hands in a sign of surrender. “Spirit me away to your lair, Gage, and do with me what you will.” She tipped her head. “Oh, wait a minute. You don’t indulge your bad-boy side anymore, do you? Your father saw to that a long time ago.”

The seductive, playful note in her voice was gone, a cold chill stealing into her gaze.

Dear Reader

Dear Reader,

Sparks flew when Gage and Elena stepped on the scene in my last book, Rule Breaker. I couldn’t wait to find out what had happened between them in the past to account for all that sizzle!

As it turns out, quite a lot. Elena and Gage have a history, and I enjoyed every moment of their dance around one another to try to avoid repeating past mistakes. Of course, I couldn’t resist throwing them together more often than not to see how they would react. I hope you’ll have fun joining me for their romance.

And, of course, this wouldn’t be a Dynasties story without a big cast of characters in the wings. You can learn more about Jonah and Astrid’s romance in a free online read available only on the Harlequin website!

Happy reading!
