Would you bleed for the one you love?
To save his family empire from the grip of the drug cartel, Shane is pushed to the edge of darkness, forced to make choices he might never make. His father is dying. His brother is desperate to rule the empire and this means war and all gloves are off. His brother only thought he knew what dirty meant. Shane is about to give it new meaning. There is another war brewing though, and that one, is inside him, his battle between right and wrong, light and dark, and in the heat of the night, it is Emily he turns to for escape. Driving her to new limits, pushing her to accept a part of him that even he cannot.
In every one of Shane's seductive demands, Emily can taste and feel, his torment, his struggle to save his family and not lose himself. But he is losing himself, and that is a problem just as dangerous as her secret, that still lurk in the shadows, a threat to the Brandon Family waiting to erupt. No matter where she and Shane have traveled, or will travel in the future, she can't just sit back and watch him become everything he hates, everything he never wanted to become, everything she tried to save him from when she tried to run. It could be their undoing, the end. His end.
This is war, blood will spill, and someone in the heart of the Brandon family will not survive....
“What is in your head right now?”
His eyes heat, darken. “You. Always.” He inches back and looks at me. “You’re mine. Mine to protect.” His voice is low, fierce, and he grips my panties and yanks them away. “Mine to fuck.”
I gasp and grab his shoulders. “Shane.”
His answer is to wrap his arm around my waist, pull me close, his cheek against mine, his fingers pressing into the V of my body. “Wet, just the way I like you,” he says, pressing two fingers inside me. “Wet for me. And too fucking perfect for my sanity sometimes.”
“That doesn’t sound like a compliment,” I pant out, grabbing the lapel to his suit as a sweet ache begins to build in my sex as his thumb strokes my clit.
“And no one else,” he murmurs, nipping my earlobe, “will ever touch you like this.” His fingers caress deeper inside me. “No one,” he adds, “will ever make you say their name like I want you to say mine right now. Say it.”
“Shane,” I whisper, and not because he wants me to, but rather because it’s there on my lips, the way I wish his tongue was on my lips now. “Shane, I—”
Seeming to know what I need, he cups my head and kisses me, long, slow, sensual strokes of his tongue that somehow make every touch of his fingers more intense.
“Come for me,” he murmurs, and this time when he kisses me, I start climbing that wall to release, and I’m there at the top in an instant. I stiffen while his fingers and tongue tease, please, and then I jerk, I’m over it, tumbling in an instant into shudders and shakes. Shane’s lips lift from mine as he breathes with me. His fingers slow as he eases me through the waves until I collapse against his chest.
He tangles his fingers in my hair and drags my mouth back to his. “And no one but me will ever make you come like that again,” he declares, the waves of his emotions beating down any embarrassment I might feel over having had an orgasm on his father’s desk.
“No one has ever made me feel what you make me feel, Shane.”

Rosa's rating: 5 of 5 iScream ConesOh no she didn't!
Yes, she did. She left me hanging. But damn, it was good. The suspense was addictive and the office sex was H-O-T! The puzzle pieces are connecting and the picture is becoming clearer. But by no means is it finished.
There are villains at work trying to take over the Brandon empire. But Shane has worked too hard to keep it in the family to let that happen. Even though he doesn't approve of the way his father and brother have handled business in the past, he wants to preserve his legacy. He gave up his successful law practice in New York to move back home and save the family company, and he's not gonna let it go now. At least not without a fight. But it's kinda hard to know who to trust when everyone seems to be fighting for a piece of the pie.
Emily is starting to see another darker side to Shane as he's faced with enemies that are threatening his family and his woman. Will there be anything left of the man she fell in love with when the dust settles? How much is she willing to take? Will she stand by her man no matter what, or will it be too much to ask of her? She's starting to see similarities to situations she faced in her past. Memories that are not pleasant. Is she strong enough to face them again? Will she run or stay?
As the suspense builds and the danger increases I have fewer and fewer nails to bite. Just when I thought it was all gonna work out, BAM! Guess that means I'll have time to grow out my nails before the next book in the Dirty Money series is released. The line forms here...
