β½β½β½
Thank you so much for having me on your blog. Iβm very excited to share Explosive Desire with your readers. Although it is book four in my Love With a Price series, all of my books are written so they can be enjoyed as stand-alone novels, so even if you havenβt read the previous books, donβt let that deter you. Luke Price is my hottest hero yet, and this is the first book in my Love With a Price series that is a suspense!

A stalker has set his sights on Harper and will stop at nothing to make her hisβ¦
Finding love is the last thing on Luke Priceβs mind as he leads his construction crew to complete the new wing of Oakville Hospital. But he canβt deny his feelings when Dr. Harper Love walks into his life. Lacking the sociability of his younger siblings, Luke doesnβt think a woman like Harper would ever want an introvert like him. But he puts his skepticism on hold when he discovers that Harper has become the victim of a stalker. Above all else, Luke vows to protect the woman he cares about.
When Dr. Harper Love moves to Oakville, she doesnβt expect to find a network of new friends, a man who captures her heart, and certainly not a stalker who watches her every move. When she begins receiving menacing notes at the hospital where she works, it soon becomes clear that the threats are no prank. Harper finds herself turning to Luke Price, and his protective instincts go on high alert. Will his heart be able to stand losing Harper? Or can he figure out who the stalker is and keep the woman he loves safe?

Excerpt:
βLook at me.β When she didnβt respond, he deepened his voice. βHarper, look at me. Now.β
She turned her head to look at him with weary blue eyes. Fuck, he hated that she looked so broken. He wanted to fix her. Or at least make her forget all the pain and potential danger right outside the door.
He opened his mouth to speak, but she stopped him with a shake of her head. βPlease donβt. Donβt say itβs going to be okay. Donβt tell me thereβs nothing to worry about, and theyβre going to catch this guy.β She took a shaky breath. βI know everyone at your momβs was just trying to help, trying to make me feel better.β Her fingers absently played along his. βI just donβt want you to lie to me.β She looked down at their hands.
Her words nearly broke him. He raised a hand to her cheek and brushed aside her blonde curls to cup her face and tilt it up to him. βIβll never lie to you, Harper. Not ever. I canβt even imagine how violated you must be feeling right now. What this psycho is doing to you makes me sick to my stomach. But I can make you one promise. I will not let anything happen to you, do you understand me? Iβll die before I ever let anyone hurt you.β
Her eyes filled, and she tried to look away, but he held her face steady. βNo. Look at me.β She raised her eyes again, and a tear spilled over. Luke gently wiped it away with his thumb then leaned in to press his lips against her forehead. He pulled back to look into her face. βYou donβt have to be afraid, Pretty, not of me.β He brushed away another tear and stroked the back of his knuckles along her jaw. βIβm the man you can trust. Iβm the man you can depend on. And Iβm not going anywhere.β
βLukeβ¦β She said his name on a whisper as the pad of his thumb stroked gently over her bottom lip. Tentatively, her tongue snaked out to lick his thumb. He stilled as her soft wetness played over the tip of his thumb. Harper searched his face as if she were waiting to see if he would pull away. When he didnβt, she sucked his thumb into her mouth.
Heat flared through Luke, and his arousal ratcheted up to eleven.
Get it together, Price. Sheβs vulnerable. You canβt take advantage of her.
βHarperβ¦β He should tell her this wasnβt a good idea. When he made love to her, he wanted it to be because she needed him as much as he needed her, not because she was using him as a distraction. But when she raised her face to his and leaned in, he couldnβt deny her, couldnβt deny himself.
The second their lips met, all semblance of reasoning slipped away. The only thing in his head was her.
About the Author:
I’m a Midwestern girl and a lover of coffee, live music, and horror movies, not necessarily in that order.
I’ve been writing all my life, and I honestly can’t remember a time when I wanted to do anything but write. After many years spent suffering the trials of corporate America and writing about everything from financial risk management to software user manuals to website copy about radiators (sadly, I’m not kidding), I decided take the plunge and start writing books.
I love a good love story with super hot alpha males, strong heroines, a little humor, and a lot of suspense. Sprinkle in some sexual fantasies and a few BDSM aspects, and Boom! These are only a few of the themes you’ll find in my books.
When I’m not writing, I’m probably at Starbucks, or fighting evil with the help of my husband, two children, and our houseful of animals.
