Description

Partners…with benefits.
Your partner knows your secrets. Your partner watches your back. Your partner…is the star of your fantasies?
Linc Dalton knows that he is supposed to keep his hands off his partner…well, unless he is protecting Blair Kincaid’s gorgeous body. She’s his partner at an elite security and protection firm. Their job is to guard the wealthy, to take out the bad guys, and to generally kick butt. He trusts Blair completely. He admires her strength and courage. And he wants her desperately. Not that he ever intends to let her know that fun fact. Instead, he keeps up a fake persona where he offers her jokes and flippant comments. 
Blair is straight-laced. By-the-book. Always by-the-book. Linc likes things a bit wilder. Control isn’t his strong suit, but, with a massive effort, he’s kept his control in place around Blair. With Blair, he’s on his best behavior…
Until he isn’t. Until they get a new case. Until they have to go undercover as lovers. 
And, suddenly, Linc has to put his hands on Blair’s delectable form. He has to stay very close to her. Has to whisper sweet promises to her. Has to share the same bed with Blair. It’s just a cover story. He’s not really in love with her…except, one night, they cross the line. Stop being pretend lovers and become the real thing. Once Linc has Blair, there is no turning back. Giving her up isn’t an option. 
She broke the rules, and for once, Blair doesn’t care.
She shouldn’t have done it. Blair knows she shouldn’t have let the desire she feels for Linc sweep her away. Yet she did, and now, everything has changed. She wants him more than ever before, and, surely, they can do this, right? They can be lovers and partners and still get the job done. As long as emotions don’t get involved, everything is fine. 
Until it isn’t. Until Blair and Linc are targeted as prey. Until all of their emotions are out of control. 
When their cover is blown, Blair and Linc find themselves being hunted. It’s a race for survival, and Blair knows that Linc has her back. Just as she has his. Prepare yourself…things are about to get wild. 
The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been, and Linc and Blair are about to turn things red-hot.  Molten level. Watch out…you just might get burned.

Author’s Note:  These partners have been on a slow-burn path, but their desire is about to ignite into an inferno they can’t control. You ready to steam up the pages? We’ve got action, thrills, romance…and a hero who is funny, sexy, and willing to do anything to claim his lady. CROSSING THE LINE is a complete, stand-alone novel.  Guaranteed happily-ever-after (though reaching that ending will sure be fun…and a wee bit dangerous). Enjoy!

    I really enjoyed the book until the epilogue, that just spoiled everything. Even though the story of Blair and Linc ended, I thought there was more to tell, not just a sales pitch. So sorry, otherwise the story was good.

    Delicious! That’s what this story is. Blair and Linc are quite the pair. Lots of off the charts chemistry and great banter. Cole is featured prominently in this story and can’t wait for his book!

    One of the best heroes ever!! To have a man like Linc who would literally do anything for you like he would for Blair, would be amazing. Talk about devotion. He's an ex-homicide detective, and an all around good guy, but he would have hid a body for her. Now that is loyalty and devotion. Linc is intense, possessive and very protective of Blair. The best part? He was hysterical! While I'm falling for all that intensity, I was also laughing quite a bit. He was just so playful. It was a fun read. Blair was a bit more hesitant. You could tell she has some past issues to deal with but she was also a fierce. That girl can kick butt. I love a heroine who can hold her own. Usually that kind of independence gets in the way of a possessive man, but not with this girl. She actually handled his intensity exactly the way I like to see. This may be instant love on Linc's part, but it also had that slow burn romance you see in a friends to lovers story. This was just all around awesome!
