Life and Lies - Blurb
The
adventure continues…
The world is his oyster and Max Frazier knows that each and
every pearl is his for the taking. At
the top, a theater bearing his name in Las Vegas, performances sold out months
in advance and record sales through the roof. Things couldn't get any better,
could they?
Ashleigh Thomas, the fiery, no nonsense businesswoman who
orchestrated this success, the only woman he's truly ever wanted is his bed and
life. But first he and Ashleigh have a mission to do, one he never wanted her
involved in.
Alive and quite well, Ashleigh's thought to be dead husband
Richard lurks in the background, teasing and taunting. He deals in the
underbelly of life - the sex trade business. Max and Ashleigh infiltrate his
world of sex clubs and more with one objective in mind…to put an end to
Richard's evilness and bring him to justice.
In doing so Ashleigh
and Max discover a bond which expands and deepens as Max introduces and schools
Ashleigh in the BDSM lifestyle. Will she allow him to lead her into temptation,
and ultimately submit to Max? Or is her stubbornness and independent nature too
much for even Max to contain?
Life has a funny way of dealing the cards. One day you're in
bliss with the woman and family you love and longed for, the next it almost
disappears. Forever, in the blink of an eye. . .but for the sheer determination
of one agent who secretly blames himself for pushing the couple too deep calls
in every favor owed him.
Life and Lies - Excerpt
“No
way! No f-in’ way in f-in’ hell am I going to partake if that is what they want
me to do. No way!”
Max
lay on his back, his muscular forearm now over his eyes while he listened to my
rant. He’d known all along that my reaction would be exactly what he was
hearing. I was also sure it was his job to convince me otherwise.
“Max,
are you listening to me?” I pushed his arm away from his face. “There is no way
I’m going to be part of some of the kinky crap you’re suggesting.”
“Well
love, if you refuse the agency will be forced to place an active, experienced
female agent with me.” I could feel his glare as he watched my reaction
closely.
“So
what you’re telling me is…if I don’t learn this lifestyle and go undercover
with you where we’ll partake in this crap, you’ll go undercover anyway. Only
you’ll go with a female agent who is already trained in this stuff. Did I leave
anything out?” I sat abruptly upright on the bed and swung my legs over the
side. I was pissed. Angry over the entire situation.
“No,
you didn’t leave anything out, and yes that’s exactly what’s going to happen if
you decide you’d rather not participate.”
I
nervously paced the bedroom. My head was spinning and had a good idea what may
come next.
“Tell
me something Max. You obviously trained for this during the time you were away.
I can’t imagine you having to re-learn how to handle weapons for six weeks. So
you want to tell me about this part of your training or should I just leave it
up to my imagination?”
“Ashleigh,
you don’t know anything about this lifestyle so don’t try and imagine what is
entailed. And yes, I trained with an experienced female as well as an
experienced Dom.”
I
felt sure he neglected to mention the fact that he had dabbled in the lifestyle
prior to meeting me. I had done my research and it had been long before we ever
met. It had evidently been a way for him to decompress after his missions with
the SAS.
