Blurb
Attorney Alex Popov’s dream
of partnership is put to the test when she’s pulled into a top-secret
investigation involving arms dealers and one of her clients, Rodrigues Capital.
The only good part about her association with the secretive organization is her
client contact, Pedro MartÃn. She’s drawn to him, but he’s hiding something.
When Jacob shows up as a new
attorney at Alex’s firm, it’s clear Pedro isn’t the only one with secrets. As
Alex tries to determine Jacob’s true identity, she’s drawn closer to Pedro and
deeper into the mystery of Rodrigues Capital and its shadowy networks.
Everyone has an agenda. In a
world of lies, where no one is what they seem, Alex puts everything — even her
dreams of partnership — on the line for love.

Excerpt:
Don't
worry. We'll start nice and easy. And rule number one is this: The connection
between the man and the woman is more important than the steps. You could have
the most amazing dance steps in the world, but if there's no connection between
the man and the woman, then it's really not the salsa."
He
positioned her left hand on his shoulder. Then he put his left hand into her
right and placed his right hand gently on her back.
"The thing to remember about the salsa is you
hold the one count and step on two. It'll be easier for you to follow me, but
let me walk you through it once. Hold on one. On two, step back with your right
foot. Step forward with your right foot. Then hold the beat. Step forward with
your left. Step back onto your right. Step back on your left. And that's
it."
Alex
surprised herself as she caught onto the basic salsa steps. They started
dancing to the music, and he began to improvise, adding additional steps. She
kept up with him as well as she could, and she couldn't keep the smile off her
face. With each additional
step she was drawn closer to him and could smell the scent of his light but
masculine cologne. She couldn't miss that flash of heat in his eyes. But he
still wasn't being pushy with her.
She
officially felt like she was in the twilight zone. It almost seemed like they
were on a real date. All of the stress and pressure of the past days melted off
of her with every step and with each touch of his hand on her body. They
finished dancing, and stood
laughing hand in hand.
"You've
actually cheered me up, Pedro, much better than the wine and pizza therapy. I
needed some salsa."
"You've
got the perfect body for Latin dancing."
She
felt her cheeks redden. "I have a few extra curves," she said,
feeling a bit self-conscious.
"Your curves are just right the way they
are." He cupped his hands on her face, and never dropping eye contact,
pulled her to him. As his lips touched hers for the first time, she got lost in
the moment. While she knew she should back away, she couldn't help but give in.
Right then, she wanted him. It was undeniable.
Momentarily
letting go of her doubts, she grabbed onto his shoulders and ran her hands
lightly down his back. She strained, going up on her toes to get even closer to
him because of their height difference. His lips were soft, and there was
something so forbidden about what she was doing. He deepened the kiss and she
allowed it to continue for a few minutes, savoring the way his lips felt
against hers. All of her senses were heightened as his hands glided down to her
waist. She wanted this to continue, but she had to get a grip. Reluctantly, she
took a step back but still remained in his arms.
"Pedro,
I'm sorry," she whispered. "I'm not sure this is a good idea."
Even she didn't believe the words as they came out of her mouth.
He leaned down and spoke quietly into her ear giving
her chills. "Alex, I can be very persistent…”

What sparked your
interest in becoming a romance writer? I loved reading romance novels so much that
one day it hit me that I should try writing one.
What is your writing
environment?
Usually at home sitting with my laptop, a cup of coffee, and a cat editor.
Do you plan all your
characters out before you start a story or do they develop as you write? I used to let them
develop as I wrote, but now I am starting to be a bit more structured. But I
still allow myself to change course.
Who is your perfect
hero? And why?
I love talk, dark, and handsome. I am slightly obsessed with military
heroes—particularly Navy SEALs. I love a muscular and intelligent man.
Which authors have
caught your interest lately? Why? I started reading the Tracers series by
Laura Griffin and was absolutely blown away. I highly recommend this series to
romantic suspense fans. I’m also reading the Lucy Kincaid series by Allison
Brennan. These books are romantic thrillers and I love them.
