Tantalizing Tuesday - Executing Justice

Hi all

Today it's my turn to add to the Tantalizing Tuesday blog roll, so I thought I'd bring you a naughty little snipped from The Assassin - Available Now from Beachwalk Press!


The Assassin
Kumi Ito has her mission, as does Carmichael Snow, but are their objectives compatible?

Kumi Ito is a woman with a problem. Since assuming the role of head of the Commerce Department, she's found discrepancies…the kind that could cause anarchy if the truth got out.

When Carmichael Snow, the commander of the Emancipation, comes across intelligence that someone has placed a hit on Kumi, he has to save her. His plan? Hide her and find the assassin.

As they dodge the killer, a passion ignites between them that runs from simmering all the way to steamy. But will the actions of one snatch away their happiness before they can accept what is growing between them?

Content Warning: This book features a buff, hot guy and a kick-butt heroine. Naturally, hot scenes will follow.

Teaser:



He was still talking, and she watched, fascinated at the way he used his hands to make a point. Heat crept along her cheeks. You can do this. After all, it’s just sex, right? Sexual hunger that I can work off then forget. It doesn’t mean anything. She ignored the part of her brain that told her it was so much more. That she was an idiot. That if he pushed her away, he’d leave and send another to do the job.

She closed her eyes, gathering her confidence around her, and sucked in an unsteady breath. With a groan she threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. “It’s not having just someone. It’s you.”

She fixed her lips on his, felt the stillness of his form before it melted away and his arms encircled her. He pulled her closer and she felt the heat emanating from him.

Their lips clung to each other’s. Her hands roamed over his chest, learning the dips and hollows, tracing the hard pectoral muscles and continuing their mad foray. Fingertips played with the clips of his uniform jacket and, without thought, she plucked at them, hearing the pop of buttons as they hit the carpeted floor.

His mouth moved, skating along her jawline, and nibbled its way to her ear. Her chest moved rapidly, sucking in any oxygen she could get, while he worked the most amazing magic on her system.
Carmichael’s hands found the loose jacketed top and slid underneath, burrowing to slide over the skin of her belly. It quivered in reaction and she arched back, needing more of his touch. “Oh. Please. Carmichael.” Her broken words filled the air. She hunted blindly and tugged on the buttons of her jacket before she thrust it from her shoulders, knowing she’d die if he didn’t fill her soon.

Her bra was removed with an efficient move from the sexy captain.

“I’ve dreamed of you.” His rough words hit her hard in the solar plexus just as his fingers
closed over her breasts. “The nights I’ve dreamed of filling you. Of drinking you and sucking your breasts like this.” He bowed his head and took the small bud into his mouth. Sensations of lightning streaked through her and she cried out. Her fingers settled in his hair, pulling his head closer so he’d take more.

Carmichael’s fingers found the waistband of her pants and his fingers dove deep, just finding the damp hairs at her center when the jangle of a communications device split the air. She stiffened, aware that at any second, with a small move he’d have them within her

aching empty core. But they remained still, listening as the answering service kicked in.

“Hey, Kumi. Are you still coming around? Ren and Selina have just arrived. If you can’t, let me know, otherwise I’ll worry.”

Tantalizing Tuesday-War's End





Forced apart by war five years ago, Renjiro and Selina have another chance at love. Can they make it work or does fate have other plans?


Welcome to another Tantalizing Tuesday. Allow me to turn up the heat with a sexy excerpt and hopefully leave you hungry for more. This is from Imogene Nix's next release, War's End, coming out on March 17th with Beachwalk Press. Enjoy.

Sneak Peek: 

"Sit down." Renjiro's terse words filled Selina with pain and sadness.
She acceded to his request in silence, holding her throbbing hand against her breast. He squatted before her, his face close to hers, his dark eyes shadowed. His touch was gentle as his fingers traced the line of her jaw. They shook a little and she felt the glancing caress. It warmed her.
He touched a raw spot on her chin and she hissed involuntarily.
"Where else are you injured?"
Selina shook her head.
"Captain Codecko? Selina?"
His gentle words nearly undid her. Tears burned in her eyes and she blinked, hoping to banish them. It didn't work though. They dripped down her face, scalding her frozen cheeks.
Now his hands dropped to her shoulders. "Where else are you hurt, Selina?" His gaze was hypnotic. It drew her words without thought.
"My hand, ribs, and the top of my head."
He frowned and started tugging at her shirt, pulling it free of the loose-fitting pants.
"What… What are you doing?"
He glanced at her, his face taut and strained. "I'm checking your injuries."
Selina blushed, the heat creeping over her face as she pushed at his hands. "No! You can't do that!"
"Just bloody watch me." His rough words surprised her and her hands dropped away. He continued his almost feverish work at her buttons and very quickly he had the shirt open. Selina thanked whatever had made her fasten a bra over her very tiny breasts. With gentle movements, he brushed the old material of her shirt to one side. He hissed through clenched teeth at what he saw. "You need a medic."
"I'm fine. I've lived through this before. Of greater concern to me is whether I'm going to be charged for causing the riot. I was just—"
"I know. Having a quiet drink. We checked the spy eyes. You will be free to go, so long as we can put together a suitable argument. But I have a proposition. One that would help you, I think."
In her experience, propositions never ended well, but she was desperate enough to listen to what he had to say. So she watched in mute silence as he rose. He backed away as she quickly refastened her shirt. Then he paced to the end of the room and back.
"I've just received a communiqué that there's some Indies about to plan an attack on this moon base. I need people I can trust to get information for me."
She waited. But as he started pacing again, it seemed she would need to ask the question. "What's in it for me?"
He stilled.
Selina held her breath. Waiting.
"I might be able to swing an official citizenship for you."
Just like that, he could brush away all the difficulties she had faced since the end of the war. But trusting people didn't come easily. Not for her. "You can just click your fingers and make that happen?"
He faced her again. His eyes shone almost feverishly bright under the lighting of the room. "No. But I know someone who might be able to make it happen, if you agree."
"Why? Why would you help me?"

He smiled. "Because I owe you."

Blurb:

Forced apart by war five years ago, Renjiro and Selina have another chance at love. Can they make it work or does fate have other plans?
Without the citizenship of the Federation, Indy pilot Selina Codecko is treated like a second-class citizen. When she gets caught up in a bar brawl she's arrested and finds herself in the hands of the Justice Officers.
Renjiro Ito has dreamed of Selina for five long years. As the Commander of the Justice Officers, the plight of this one woman will turn his life upside down.

But there's more going on than just the fate of one woman—there's a seething underbelly that wants to destroy their newly expanded Federation. The chances of a future together are slim, but they'll take any chances that come their way. Will it be enough?
