*MINE TO TAKE*
BY
*CYNTHIA EDEN*
Description:
Sometimes
you want someone so much…
Sometimes
you need someone so much…
Lust can
become love.
And love can
turn into a deadly obsession.
Skye
Sullivan knows that someone is watching her. Not just watching—stalking her.
Months ago, Skye was involved in a dangerous car accident. The accident ended
her dancing career and sent her fleeing back to Chicago. Skye is convinced that
her stalker caused the crash, and she fears that he won’t stop pursuing her,
not until she’s dead.
When someone
breaks into her apartment in Chicago, Skye turns to the one man she believes
can protect her—Trace Weston. Once, Trace was her lover. Two lost souls, they’d
come together in a firestorm of need and desire. But then Trace had pushed her
away. He’d joined the military, vanishing from her life. She’d put all of her
emotion into dancing, and she’d tried to forget him.
Now Trace is
one of the most successful men in the United States. Rich, driven, and carrying
dark secrets, he agrees to help Skye. He’ll protect her from the danger that
lurks in the darkness, but Trace wants more than to just be a guard for Skye.
He wants
her. And he’ll take her. The years have changed him, hardened him. He’s not
just a poor kid from the streets any longer. Now, he can have anything—or
anyone—that he wants. And the one woman he has always wanted has just come back
into his life. He won’t let her go again.
But with the
threats mounting against Skye, she suspects that her stalker may be intimately
close. He’s a man who knows her too well. As his attacks grow ever more
dangerous, she realizes that if she trusts the wrong man, she could be making a
fatal mistake.
Lust. Love.
Obsession.
Just how far would you go in order to possess
the one person you want the most?
Excerpt
“H-hello,
Trace.” She hated that stupid break in her voice. Trace made her
nervous. Always had.He stopped in front of her. He stood at several
inches over six feet, while she barely skimmed five feet three. Skye
tilted her head back so that she could meet his stare.
“It’s been a
long time,” Trace said, the words a deep, dark rumble. His voice went
perfectly with the rock hard body and the sexy face—a voice that a woman could
imagine in the darkness.
She
swallowed because her throat was suddenly dry. “Yes, it has.” Ten years
and three months. Not that she’d counted.
That
assessing gaze of his slid down her body once more. There was an
awareness in his stare that she hadn’t expected. A heat that made her remember
too many things.
He was close
enough to touch. Close enough for her to smell the crisp, masculine scent that
clung to him.
His nostrils
flared, as if he were catching her scent, too.
“You look
good, Skye.” Again, that heat was in his stare. A heat that said he knew
her intimately.
She wished
her heartbeat would slow down.
“But you’re
not here for a friendly chat, are you?” And he stepped away from her. He waved
to the open chair near his desk and returned to his seat.
“We’ve never
really been the friendly chat kind,” she said softly as she eased into the
leather chair.
She didn’t
take off her coat. She just pulled it closer to her.
A faint
furrow appeared between his brows. “No, we weren’t, were we? More the hot
sex type.”
Her lips
parted. He had not just said that to her.
His faint
smile said that he had.
“I’m not
here for that, either.” She’d been wrecked after her last go
round with Trace.
He leaned
back in his chair. The leather groaned beneath him. “We’ll get to that…”
Uh, no, they
wouldn’t. She wasn’t ready to feel that burn again.
He tapped
his chin. “You’re not here for pleasantries, you’re not here for sex, then why
have you come looking for me?”
This was
where she’d have to beg. Because there was no way she had
enough money in her account to cover his services. Not with the guy
sporting this high rise building and looking like he’d just walked off the
cover of GQ. How things have changed. “Someone is
watching me.”
He
stilled. The heat banked in his eyes as his whole expression instantly
became guarded. “And what makes you so sure of that?”
“Because I
can feel him.” Wait, that sounded crazy, didn’t it? When she’d gone to the
cops, they’d sure looked at her as if she were crazy. You couldn’t feel a
stalker. So they said.
She disagreed.
