“Lexi Blake is a master at
sexy, thrilling romance!”
—Jennifer Probst, New York Times bestselling author
Charmed, an
all-new novella in the must read and unforgettable Masters and Mercenaries
series by New York Times bestselling
author Lexi Blake, is available now!
From New York
Times and USA Today bestselling author Lexi Blake comes a new story in her
Masters and Mercenaries series…
JT Malone is
lucky, and he knows it. He is the heir to a billion-dollar petroleum empire,
and he has a loving family. Between his good looks and his charm, he can have
almost any woman he wants. The world is his oyster, and he really likes
oysters. So why does it all feel so empty?
Nina Blunt is
pretty sure she’s cursed. She worked her way up through the ranks at Interpol,
fighting for every step with hard work and discipline. Then she lost it all
because she loved the wrong person. Rebuilding her career with McKay-Taggart,
she can’t help but feel lonely. It seems everyone around her is finding love
and starting families. But she knows that isn’t for her. She has vowed never to
make the mistake of falling in love again.
JT comes to
McKay-Taggart for assistance rooting out a corporate spy, and Nina signs on to
the job. Their working relationship becomes tricky, however, as their personal
chemistry flares like a wildfire. Completing the assignment without giving in
to the attraction that threatens to overwhelm them seems like it might be the
most difficult part of the job. When danger strikes, will they be able to count
on each other when the bullets are flying? If not, JT’s charmed life might just
come to an end.

Excerpt
“If I’d had drink
number four, would we be here?” Nina was curious. She’d had more than one man try
to ply her with drink to get what he wanted. It never worked, but she wanted to
understand his reasoning.
He stared at her
for a moment as though assessing the situation and then he leaned against the
wall. “No. I would have made sure you got back to your room, but I don’t know
your threshold. I have zero interest in coaxing you with liquor. I would far
rather know you wanted me and not some random guy to forget your troubles with.
And I didn’t want to get drunk either. Three’s a good limit for me. I don’t
need anything to dull this experience.”
He was
forthright. She liked that quite a bit, and he hadn’t had a fourth drink
either. He’d been perfectly in control. Another thing she liked. She couldn’t
exactly come out and tell him she would very much enjoy it if he dominated her
sexually. Or could she? “But I am trying to forget my troubles. That doesn’t
mean I don’t want you in particular. If you hadn’t been in the bar this
evening, I would have settled for a book.”
His lips curled
up in the sexiest smile. “What kind of book?”
“Romance.”
Somehow she didn’t think he would be derisive. Some people had contempt for the
genre, but they were usually the ones who could use it the most.
He moved in, his
hand coming up to brush a stray hair off her cheek, tucking it behind her ear.
“I like the sound of that. It’s your turn to tell me something. What would the
hero of that book you would have read do right now?”
He’d backed her
against the wall, but not in a way that felt threatening. He was taller than
she was and loomed over her, his broad shoulders blocking most of her line of
sight. She was still in her heels and for most men that put her at eye level or
taller. Not with this one. It was nice to look up to a man for once. “I think
he would invite her back to his room where they wouldn’t shock anyone who
happens to walk down the hallway.”
He watched her
like he was studying something fascinating, something he wanted desperately to
learn. “I happen to know there are only two rooms on this floor, and I saw the
couple in the other room go upstairs a few hours ago. They seemed like they
were ready for sleep. Not that older couples can’t party the night away, too,
but they didn’t seem like the type. So we don’t have to worry about anyone
catching us, though I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t be ashamed to get caught
touching you.”
He was pushing
all her buttons. The good kind. The kind that got her in trouble.
Official published review:
Looking for support
What a fantastic little side story in from the Masters and Mercenaries series.
This book still holds all of the intense action, danger and romance that we get
with the other books in the series, but the author really focuses on a
character that I wasn’t sure would get his own story told. I love how JT and
Nina meet and the struggles they face as they not only work to solve the crime,
but traverse the muddy waters of their relationship. The author holds true to
form and keeps you totally engaged as she clears the water and brings us to an
ending you won’t want to miss. I look forward to more books by this author.
5 stars
