All choices have consequences, only
sometimes they’re . . . delayed.
Cortland Nash fled Dartmouth to avoid being arrested for murder, but his best friend, Ford Delgado, is in danger. Cort returns, prepared to keep his head down, and do whatever it takes to keep Ford breathing, but when he finds a beautiful young woman out in the snow, frozen in fear, his plans change. He needs to make sure she’s safe—even if the greatest danger is him.
Akira Hayashi never thought she’d overcome her fear of men, but the care of an experienced Dom helped her achieve so much more. She’s embraced her submissive side, and found her strength as the captain of the Dartmouth Cobras’ Ice Girls. There’s nothing she can’t do—except function when she’s mugged in a parking lot. The intimidating stranger who rescues her makes her feel things she never thought possible. The only problem is his connection with Ford, a man she’ll hate forever because she refuses to feel anything else.
With the constant threats from the crime lord he once called “Dad,” Ford Delgado has no room in his life for love. Unfortunately, Akira already has his heart—which is split in two when he discovers Cort is dating her. The betrayal has him lashing out, trying to move on, to grow as a Dom, and free himself from Kingsley’s criminal empire. He tries to forget what Akira means to him, but one look into her eyes shows him the last thing she needs is for him to let her go.

Ford squared his
shoulders and placed his hands on his hips, looking her over, his lips slanted
in amusement. “You don’t really expect me to chase you around the cabin, do
you?”
“How else are you going
to catch me?” She skittered sideways in the opposite direction as he took a
step around the table. His dark look had her shaking even harder and her cheeks
heated as her panties became uncomfortably damp. She jumped as he strode toward
her, scrambling to keep away, even though her body screamed for her to throw
herself at him. Her tone was sharper than she meant it to be. “You’re not very
good at this game.”
“Because I’m still
trying to figure out how far you want this to go. What happens when I catch
you, shorty?”
“You win.” She
swallowed and braced to make a run for it. Maybe she was thinking too much. The
limits would come in time. In this moment, all that should matter was one of
her needs was being met. She didn’t have to give in. Ford would make her.
His next step had her
tripping sideways, swiftly plotting her escape, but then his sharp tone made
her freeze. “Stop.”
Trembling, she fisted
her hands by her sides as he came to her. She yelped as he picked her up and
dropped her on the sofa, the landing causing the air to whoosh out of her
lungs. Before she could gather her wits and spring back up, he had her trapped.
“Cheater!” She laughed
and slapped his chest, then bit her bottom lip, not sure if she’d gone too far.
He shackled her wrists
with his hands and pulled them over her head, laughing softly as she squirmed
beneath him. “I can’t cheat at a game neither of us wants me to lose.” Holding
her wrists in one hand, he brought the other down to her throat with a light
pressure that had her holding completely still. “One day, during the summer,
I’ll bring you out into the woods and let you run as far as you can. And when I
catch you, I’ll take you right there in the dirt, no matter how much you
struggle.” He spoke against her lips. “But we’re not ready for that yet. I
wanted our first time to be somewhere a little softer than the floor.”
And there it was, Ford
doing what everyone else did. Telling her she wasn’t ready. She ground her
teeth and turned her head. “Softer is good. And you better be really gentle.
Otherwise, I could shatter.”
“Gentle?” Ford moved his
hand from her throat and reached down to undo his belt. He pulled it from his
jeans in one smooth motion, then brought it up to bind her wrists. Then he
flipped her over so she was kneeling on the sofa, her bound wrists held firmly
over her bowed head. “I never said I’d be gentle.”
That being said, I still liked the book. This book is about Akira, Colt and Ford. I think the author does a good job of dealing with Akira's issues and the aftermath of them without making them pity issues. This one is heavy on the BDSM and goes a little more into the sadism aspect. It was a little much for my tastes. Most characters in the book are in some sort of menage relationship. I thought those relationships were well written.
The storyline itself is hard to follow if you haven't read the other books because the family dynamics are confusing if you can't figure out who the characters are. I really highly recommend reading them all in order to get the most enjoyment out of this book.
Tell you about
me? Hmm, well, there’s not much to say. I love hockey and cars and my kids…not
in that order of course! Lol! When I’m not writing—which isn’t often—I’m
usually watching a game or a car show while networking. Going out with my kids
is my only downtime. I get to clear my head and forget everything.
As for when and
why I first started writing, I guess I thought I’d get extra cookies if I was
quiet for a while—that’s how young I was. I used to bring my grandmother barely
legible pages filled with tales of evil unicorns. She told me then that I would
be a famous author.
I hope one day
to prove her right.
