Blurb for Tie Me Down
For fans of Sylvia Day, E. L. James, and J. Kenner, the
author of the edgy and erotic Full Exposure delivers another explosive
tale of seduction and suspense.
As the only woman on her homicide squad, star investigator Genevieve Delacroix maintains a tough-as-nails attitude that keeps men at arm’s length. She never gives in to her secret fantasies—until she meets a mysterious stranger who teaches her how little control she really has over her mind or her body.
Cole Adams arrives in New Orleans believing Genevieve is his last hope for solving the murder of his younger sister. He just doesn’t expect the hard-bitten detective to look like a blond bombshell. Once he breaks through her inhibitions, he soon finds an unexpected obsession driving Genevieve right to the edge of desire . . . and beyond. But when the serial killer who has been terrorizing the streets of the French Quarter sets his sights on Genevieve, they realize that they both have let down their guard. And losing control can have fatal consequences.

Excerpt:
“What the hell are you doing?” she demanded as she uncocked the
weapon, lowered it. But she didn’t holster it, not yet.
“I think that’s my question,” he growled, starting after her—backing
her deeper and deeper into the alley.
“Excuse me?” She used the coldest Ice Queen voice she could muster,
tried to hold her ground. But frissons of fear and—God help her—arousal were
shooting down her spine. How the hell she could be turned on by his barbarian
act she didn’t know, but her hormones were bouncing around like jumping beans,
despite the fury emanating from Cole.
As she holstered her weapon—afraid she might shoot either him or
herself if she wasn’t careful—lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating
the small alley for one frozen moment. Her eyes locked with Cole’s and he
looked so angry, so aroused, she actually felt her knees knock together. The
harsh planes of his face stood out in stark relief, his mouth tight.
Suddenly, she saw his lips move, saw the demand for information in
his eyes, but a huge clap of thunder drowned out the words. Seconds later, the
sky opened up and began to pour. She barely noticed the rain as Cole stalked
toward her with feral eyes.
“Why’d you leave this morning?” he asked again. His voice was low,
guttural.
Though Genevieve told herself not to move, she was backing up before
her knees got the message from her brain. The show of fear, of submission,
pissed her off, added to the anger that had been simmering since she’d seen his
name on those logs hours before.
So instead of answering his question, she shot back one of her own. “What
the hell are you doing researching murders that happen in my jurisdiction? What
the hell are you doing researching me?”
He didn’t answer, just kept walking her back until his rock-hard
body was flush against hers. Once again she told herself to hold her ground.
Once again she found herself backing up. All the way this time, until her back
was against the rough stone wall near the end of the alley.
“You don’t want to fuck with me on this, Genevieve. Why’d you sneak
out like that, without even telling me where to find you?” Cole’s voice was
lower now, more animal than human as he took advantage of her predicament,
closing in until she was utterly surrounded. The wall at her back, his hard,
unyielding body hovering only inches from her front. His powerful biceps caging
her in from the sides.
His black-magic eyes demanding that she tell him what he wanted to
know.
The wind picked up, made her shudder as it whipped around them, as
wild and fierce as the attraction she couldn’t fight. It lashed the rain
against her, against him, as it streamed down their bodies.
He pulled back, looked at her with wicked eyes that proclaimed just
how much he wanted her—and just how far he would go to have her—and she became
aware, for the first time, of how she must look to him. Her clothes were stuck
to her and practically transparent, her nipples showing clearly through the
thin lace of her bra, the even thinner cotton of her T-shirt.
Maybe she should have been frightened, with the storm raging around
her and Cole burning beside her. But ten years on a male-dominated force had
ensured she was not easily cowed.
Resolving to give as good as she got, Genevieve pressed her head
back against the wall and glared at him with eyes she knew reflected her own
fury, as the storm raged around them. “Answer my question and I’ll answer
yours.”
“Fuck that.” He grabbed her wrists with one hand, his long fingers
spanning both with ease. Yanked her arms above her head. Moved the last few
inches until his body was pressed against hers from chest to thigh.
His breath was coming in short, hot gasps against her ear, his heart
racing crazily against her breasts. And his erection, his infinitely arousing,
unbelievably sexy erection, rested hot and heavy against her stomach. The rain
made the barrier of their clothes nearly nonexistent, and she felt his heat
against the very heart of her.
Shock raced through her as her brain demanded that she refuse to
yield. But her body was firmly in control, the pleasure it took from Cole’s
unprecedented dominance more than she could fight.
She loved every second of it. Loved the vulnerability of being
spread for him. Loved the little frissons of fear working their way down her
spine. Loved the idea of being helpless in the face of all this bristling male
aggression.
She should have felt vulnerable, but she knew she was safe—she’d
trained for years to handle herself against men twice her size. She should have
felt uncomfortable, but everything about Cole felt right despite his obvious
interest in her case. She should have felt anything—everything—but this
overwhelming need to give him whatever he wanted to take. And to take even more
for herself.
His grip was firm as he stretched her wrists higher, forcing her to
arch her back to relieve the pressure. But as they skimmed down her throat his
lips were more gentle than she would have dreamed possible.
“Tell me why,” he whispered, running his tongue over her collarbone.
“You already—” Her voice broke and she had to start again. “You
already knew where to find me.”
“What makes you say that?”
“I found your file.” She pushed against him with all the strength
she could muster, but he just snarled and pushed back.
“You should have stuck around—I would have explained everything. It
would have saved me the trouble of hauling you back.”
“You wouldn’t dare.”
His chuckle was low, wicked. “You don’t have a clue what I’ll dare.”
He reached up with his free hand, fastened on the collar of her simple cotton T-shirt.
And then he was yanking, his powerful fist ripping through the material like so
much fluff.
She gasped in surprise, her body shuddering as shock ricocheted
through her. She started to protest, but he was pushing her bra out of the way,
drawing her nipple into his mouth with a suction so strong she couldn’t tell
where the pleasure left off and the pain began. She knew only that the two were
hand in hand as she arched her back, begging for more. Begging for everything.
He lifted his head for a moment, looked at her in the dim light with
eyes gleaming. That small break brought her back from the edge of sensual
overload, and common sense reasserted itself for a moment. Pushing at his
shoulders with firm hands, she said, “Cole, stop. We can’t do this here.”
“We are doing this here.” He bit down on her nipple and she nearly
came unglued, her body bucking violently against him.
“But,” she tried one more time, clinging to sanity with bloody,
battered fingertips. “We’re in public.”
“Then you had better be quiet,” he growled against her breast. “Because
we’re not leaving here until I feel you come.”
Genevieve whimpered, tried once again to shove against his immense
shoulders. But it was no use and she knew it, because she wanted this as much
as he did. Maybe even more—a walk on the wild side when she’d always been so
careful to follow the rules, to do nothing to draw attention to herself.
Shooting a look down the alley, she was comforted by the utter
darkness and the knowledge that the tourists were too busy on Bourbon
Street—and too scared of the big, bad Quarter at night—to come looking down
this alley.
And then she forgot all of her concerns, the need to orgasm rising
sharply with each stroke of his tongue on her breast. Her body was spinning out
of control, desire taking over completely.
Moaning, panting, she pressed her breast more firmly against his
mouth, relishing the feel of his tongue around her areola. Loving the sharp nip
of his teeth against her diamond-hard nipple.
“Cole, please,” she begged, spreading her legs and pressing her
lower body against the hardness of his thigh. She needed him against her,
needed him inside her like she’d never needed anything before in her life.
He gave her just a little of what she craved. Slid his thigh between
hers and let her rock against him until she was nearly insane with the need to
come. Her clit was hot, her womb aching, and she was more than ready for him.
But he was so much better at the game than she, and he pulled away
just as the orgasm started rising, her body one thrust away from completion.
She whimpered, tried to follow him, but he held her in place with
one hand against her stomach while the other remained anchored to her wrists. “What
are you—” She couldn’t finish the question, desire so out of control that she
had no hope for coherent thought.
“Don’t leave like that again,” Cole whispered, licking from the
valley between her breasts to the hollow of her throat.
“What?” she asked, every part of her trembling with the need for
release.
“Promise me you won’t walk out like that again—without so much as a
note.” His teeth sunk into her shoulder, hard, and she screamed as pleasure
shot through her.
“Genevieve,” he prompted, his tongue tenderly licking away the bite
marks.
“I won’t!” She gave in abruptly, too strung out to fight him
anymore. “I’ll tell you next time.”
Abruptly he lifted his head, stared at her with eyes that glowed red
in the twilight shadows. “Thank you.”
Before she could figure out how to answer, the hand resting on her
stomach moved. Slid inside the waistband of her pants and found her sex. Hot,
wet, aching.
“Fuck, sweetheart.” He slipped one long finger inside her, curved it
so he touched her G-spot with the first stroke. Then pulled back and did it
again and again. On the fifth stroke of his finger she started to come, wave
after wave of sensation swamping her.
He moved his thumb, circled it around her throbbing clit. Once,
twice. She glanced up and into his obsidian eyes and shot over a higher,
steeper edge, her body completely out of her control as ecstasy whipped through
her nerve endings. Her muscles spasmed, clutched at him, wanting to take him
deeper and deeper inside her until the pleasure was all-consuming,
never-ending.
-Cole held her
through it, swallowing her cries with his mouth as his fingers continued to
work her, controlling her response. Taking her higher. When she couldn’t take
it anymore, when her body was so stressed out and sensitive that she was almost
at breaking point, she jerked her mouth from his. Laid her head on his broad
shoulder and gasped, “No more, Cole. Please, no more.”
“There’s always more, Genevieve.”
That is one heck of a teaser! Congrats on your re-release!
