“Oh, I do,” he assures me.
“Yeah? How much?”
“Well, I could tell you, but…” With a devilish grin, he leans in and spreads me open. Right before his beautiful mouth reaches my pussy, he says, “How about I show you instead?”
Note from the Author
That’s all, folks! I hope you have enjoyed Hunter and Riley’s story! :) If you have, I also hope you’ll consider leaving a review—they don’t have to be long, just a few words about how you enjoyed the book and its characters would be immensely helpful, and immensely appreciated. <3
Hunter and Riley’s book is a complete standalone, but at the end of their story I did cross over into my Untouchable world. If you haven’t read that book and you’d like to read more of my work, that’s a very good place to go next. Riley’s friend Zoey is the heroine. Most of my books take place in the same universe, so occasionally my characters cross each other’s paths. For example, the potentially troublesome collector of secrets Caleb Grant is a friend of Carter Mahoney’s (the “hero” of Untouchable), and Caleb will have his own book, Unbeatable.
I’ll double down on recommending you read Carter’s book next if you were intrigued by Sherlock. They’re very different men, but they are somewhat similar hero types. Sherlock’s a better friend than Carter, but both men have pretty strong villain vibes and more apathy toward “right and wrong” than the average hero. In the vault of characters locked away in my brain, I think Sherlock and Carter must have been stored pretty close together.
If you like villains, you should also check out my Morelli family series—it contains some of those sexy mafia men Michelle was hoping to entertain at dinner, and my biggest troublemaker of all: Mateo Morelli. His story starts in Accidental Witness and runs through the whole series, so if you’re looking for a dark, twisty reading experience and a sexy villain with a penchant for mind games and mayhem, download that one and binge-read the whole completed series!
And if you’re looking for another angsty bully read with complicated family history, blackmail between conflicted, star-crossed lovers, and a whole lot of heart, you could also check out my oldest book, Because of You. It’s a duet, and that’s probably the last time I cried as many times as I did writing this one, lol.
Thank you for reading! Until next time. ♡
