When her father is murdered by a Taliban cell in the tribal regions of Pakistan, Khalia Patterson reluctantly steps into his shoes to carry on the legacy of Fair Start Foundation, a non-profit group dedicated to furthering the education of girls. There she meets Hunter Phillips, the ex-SEAL and head of her Titanium security team, and quickly learns that coming to Pakistan might prove to be a deadly decision. Keeping her alive is one of the toughest assignments Hunter’s ever faced, yet through one harrowing situation after another she continually impresses him with her strength and inner courage. Even though he fights his feelings for her, it’s a losing battle. And when the job is over, he doesn’t know how he’ll let her go. Ann can’t tolerate the new guy assigned to her camera crew. She’s been in journalism long enough to know when someone is full of himself. And this guy is so full of himself, he can’t seem to point the camera in the right direction. Her latest assignment in Brazil, seemed harmless enough, but now she’s in over her head and the only way out is to trust the man that helped put her in the line of ire to begin with. Can this ex-special forces hero, Ethan, keep her safe?

Prologue
"Deon!" sigaw ko sa pangalan niya ngunit hindi niya pa rin ako nililingon.
Fuck. Anong akala niya? Na hindi ito mahirap para saakin? Nasasaktan din ako, nagseselos, nababalewala niya, ngunit hindi ko pinapakita dahil gusto kong maging matatag at ayaw kong ipakita sakaniyang mahal ko siya dahil wala iyon sa kontrata.
Bawal siyang mahalin. Dahil lang sa isang babae, namatay ang puso niya. Naging sarado.
"Deon, let me explain—" hindi ko natuloy ang sasabihin ko nang lumapit siya saakin at dinuro ako.
"Shut up. I don't need your explanation," malamig nitong sagot at pinagsarhan ako ng pinto.
Naiwan ako rito sa harap ng aming malaking bahay. Ang bahay ni Deon.
"Putangina, Deon! Papasukin mo ako. Kapatid mo 'yon kaya paano ako magkakagusto sakaniya!? Baliw ba ako!?"
Hindi pa rin ako nakatanggap ng sagot. Paulit-ulit akong kumatok ngunit hindi niya ito binubuksan. Sumasakit na ang paa ko dahil sa mga heels na ito. Inamag na ako dito at lahat-lahat wala pa rin sa kan'ya.
"Deon, please! I'm begging you!"
Ilang oras akong naghintay dito sa labas. Ginawa ko na ang lahat-lahat ngunit hindi niya pa rin ako pinapasok. Kapag galit siya ay ginagawa niya ito at nagkukulong sa kwarto. Nagwo-workout, hindi naman kaya ay gumuguhit, minsan natutulog.
Gabi na nang papasukin niya ako.
"Deon, gusto kong sabihin na—"
"Tumigil ka na! Hindi ba sinabi kong ayaw kong marinig ang paliwanag mo!?" He angrily said. Kumakain na siya habang ako ay nakatayo lang sa harap niya. Hindi niya ako pinaghanda, ang pinggan na nakalatag sa lamesa ay para lang sakaniya. Wala na ang katulong namin.
"Gan'yan ka ba talaga? How long, Deon? Hanggang kailan ka magiging ganito, fuck! I hate this life! Sana hindi na lang ako nagpakasal sa'yo!"
Kinuha ko ang pinggan na kinakainan niya at binagsak ito sa sahig. I don't care. Kahit magalit ka saakin, you deserve this Deon. Kasalanan mo ang lahat ng ito! Kung bakit ako nasasaktan ngayon!
"Tinitiis kita at kapatid mo lang ang nakakaintindi saakin! Tapos ngayon magseselos ka?!"
Tumayo siya, pula na rin ang mga mata. Basang-basa ang buhok dahil kakatapos lang nitong mag-shower.
"Stop it, Perlm," sinubukan niyang maging kalmado.
Ngunit ako? Ayoko nang maging kalmado, sawa na ako! Sawang-sawa na ako sa mga binibigay niyang treatment. Pabago-bago.
"Stop?" ngumisi ako, kinuha ko ang picture frame nilang dalawa ni Meghan na nakadisplay sa salas.
Ngumisi ako. "Stop pala ang gusto mo!"
Binasag ko ang frame na iyon. Dahil imbis na frame namin ang nakalagay roon, ang litrato nilang dalawa.
"Oh! Ayan! Titigil na ako!" humagulgol kong sabi. Tinakpan ko ang aking mukha sa sobrang galit.
Gusto siyang mabago, akala ko mababago ko siya, pero hindi. He's stil the same. Siya pa rin ang lalaking sarado ang puso at ayaw palitan si Meghan. Habang ako ito lunod na lunod sa kaniya.
"I hate you," napapaos kong sabi.
"I hate you more," mahina niyang sabi kaya napatingin ako sakaniya.
Hawak-hawak niya ang frame nilang nasira. Dinudugo ang kamay at namumugto ang mga mata.
I hate seeing him crying, pero naiinis ako kapag nalalaman kong iniiyakan niya ang patay na si Meghan.
"Patay na siya, Deon..."
Umiling ito at napatingin saakin.
"I will never forget her. Hinding-hindi siya mapapalitan dito sa puso ko.." galit at poot ang nakikita ko sa mga mata niya ngunit nanatili itong kalmado.
Nanghina ako dahil roon. Sana pala ay hindi ko na lang siya nababasa, dahil nasasaktan ako lalo kapag nakikita ko kung paano niya ako tignan. Para bang nasusuka siya.
"No one can replace her, not even you, whore."

Dangerous Attraction 74
Ethan watched Ann fluff his pillows for what seemed like the hundredth time. He smiled, enjoying her pampering him. He knew she was just concerned about him and he enjoyed every minute of it. It had been a close one. So close he’d made a decision, one he had yet to talk to her about. There had hardly been a time when they were alone.When he’d woken in the ICU, she was there and so were a half dozen nurses. Then when he’d come to again, he’d been in a private room with his parents hovering over him. It had been nice having them there, but he wished for some time alone with Ann.Then she had left for the evening, promising she’d be back first thing in the morning. She had walked in five minutes after his parents and Roberta had. Now her family was there, chatting and acting like he was a hero.Blake was there as well. The kid had grown tall, but still looked the same. Ethan could tell he was glad he was okay, even if he played it cool. Javan had even stopped by at one point before headi

Ethan was fighting for his life. There were two of them, he’d spotted them instantly when he’d entered the large stadium. His eyes had scanned not the stage, where Ann was focused, but instead the roof and upper bleachers of the large stadium. It had taken him only a few seconds to see the dark spot hovering in a private booth area. The nose of the rifle stuck out from the box. With his mind totally focused on getting there quickly, he lost track of Ann. He knew she’d make it to her father and hoped to God she had enough sense to stay down. When he reached the opening to the booth, he threw himself in and charged the man, covered in darkness. He didn’t see the second man come out of theshadows until the knife was already on a downward arch.Trying to block it, he felt the blade hit his rib cage, tearing his shirt and the skin below. Turning, he connected a solid blow to the skinny man’s nose, shattering it and sending blood splattering all over both of them. Paul, the senator’s assis

Ann and Ethan spent the next few days locked in the editing room. They had gone over every inch of footage that had been uploaded from Rio before the incident. There really wasn’t anything other than crowd shots they could use.She’d been enjoying their time together. There was hardly a moment when they weren’t together. Javan had even been moved over to watching Blake instead.Ethan had been spending all his time with her. He slept in her bed, they ate dinner together, they ate breakfast together. He sat across from her when she worked in her office. They had been spending a lot of their evenings in the editing room together. She couldn’t explain it, she just enjoyed spending her time with him. He was easy to get along with, and she didn’t want to be apart from him.She’d woken the other night to an empty bed and had instantly felt empty herself. Then she’d heard him talking on the phone in the other room. She’d quietly rushed in and smiled when she’d seen him pacing her living room.

“I can’t believe it. It’s taken almost a week and they are finally going to let me run my piece from Rio. They want it edited a little more and some more back story, but the executives want it by Friday.” Ann was so nervous, she was pacing her small office.Ethan sat across from her and looked bored. “Are you listening to me?” She picked up the nearest item, which happened to be a stress ball, and tossed it athis head. He caught it and proceeded to squeeze it playfully as she smiled.“I’m always listening. I knew they were going to run it. It’s a good piece. Plus, you had an excellent cameraman.” He smiled and tossed the ball back at her.She caught it and set it back on her desk, then walked around and sat in her chair. There was so much to do in the next few days, she didn’t think she’d have time. Preparing a piece this big took a team and her team… she closed her eyes on the flash of memory that popped into her head. Well, her team was dead.“I’m going to spend the next few days g

Ann was bored. Since returning home, she’d gone to work, gone to the grocery store. Her kitchen was now fully stocked with groceries. When she’d arrived home last night she had realized there wasn’t anything to eat since she’d left for a long journey. She’d visited her family and done other boring everyday tasks, but was still bored out of her mind. How could she ever get back in the swing of a normal life after what she’d gone through with Ethan?She’d been happily surprised to see Javan yesterday at the store. When they’d come back to her place, he’d come in and installed several small cameras throughout her place. She’d talked to him and had found out that he’d had to leave Rio on account of helping them escape. She felt bad, but was happy that he was going to be helping Ethan out now.She was in the middle of watching the evening news, when the doorbell rang. She hadn’t even heard a word the announcer said since she’d been too busy thinking of Ethan again.Knowing it was the pizza

The next morning Ann marched into her office with a plan. There was no way she was going to let Anthony fire her. She walked out of the elevators and past the secretary with her head held high. She avoided talking to anyone; she just wanted to make it into her office. She was so focused on getting there, she didn’t see the man sitting behind her desk until after she’d closed the door, leaned back on it, and released a sigh of relief.“Was it that bad?” Dave asked from her chair. She couldn’t help it, she squealed. She’d only met Dave Myers once before, on the day she’d been hired almost five years ago. He was an older gentlemen with silver hair. His suitsalways looked pressed and he never had a hair out of place. He had a reputation for being a hard-ass and she’d done everything she could to avoid dealing with him directly.“Oh,” she stood up straight and ran her hands over her skirt, trying to make sure she looked perfect.“Come in, Miss Rhodes. I’d like to hear all about your adven

She smiled again. “Thanks, Daddy. I knew you’d have all the answers. What can I do now?”“Well, if he doesn’t come back on his own… If I know anything about my little girl, you’ll find a way to make him crawl back.”That night she lay in her bed for a few hours listening to the sounds of the city around her. She missed the sounds of the jungle and of Ethan sleeping beside her. She missed his warmth, his smell, his touch.She knew she was going to have a hard time falling back into a pattern. How could she ever go back to a normal life after what they’d been through? Did she want to? More importantly, did she want to do it all alone? Even though they’d only known each other a few months, she couldn’t stop thinking about him.The shadows on her ceiling did little to soothe her as the light hit the leaves that were starting to fall from the large tree outside her window. She turned and hit her pillow a few times, trying to get comfortable. She’d had no problem sleeping in the dirt or wet

The next morning they met his parents for a day trip to the beach, something they’d done since he was a kid. Usually they’d spend the whole night sleeping in a tent or sleeping bags under the stars if the weather held out.This time they had stayed late enough to have some of his dad’s homemade mussel soup. He’d laughed as he taught Ann how to dig for mussels. She’d been a little grossed out at first, but after he’d showed her how to collect the first few, she’d rolled her sleeves up and been totally focused.She’d even helped him collect wood for their fire. He’d always enjoyed having a campfire on the beach. Something about the smell of burning wood and the salt from the ocean made him feel like he was truly home.As they sat on a large piece of driftwood in front of the fire, he pulled her close as he watched his parents laughing about a story they were telling.It was almost like life was going in slow motion for a few minutes. His mind flashed from seeing the same scene as a chil

She’d toed off her own heels as she walked her way back to just below his hips.His erection sat between them, proud and erect. She knew he wanted her to touch him, but she leaned over and started kissing and rubbing her hands over his chest again.She wanted this to last. She wanted to enjoy every inch of him, slowly. “Ann, your killing me.”“Don’t rush me. I’m enjoying myself too much to go fast.” She smiled as she nibbled her way down his chest. When she reached his belly button, she dipped her tongue in and swirled it around the sexy spot. He had a light covering of hair that trailed down to his sex. She followed it until finally, she gripped him lightly in her hands. She watched as his eyes closed and he moaned while arching his head.“You like it when I touch you?”“God, yes!” He almost jumped when she swirled her tongue around the head, lapping at him as she used her hands to stroke his length. She cupped his balls as she used her mouth to please him.His hands plunged into her
