Kate Adams has never found it
difficult to keep a professional relationship with her clients . . .
but then she’s never had a client like Michael Maddox. From the moment
she arrives in Charlotte, Kate is tongue-tied by the devastatingly
gorgeous former Marine and intelligence genius turned multi-millionaire
entrepreneur. Michael seems at first glance to be the perfect catch,
except for one problem. He doesn’t do relationships. And Kate doesn’t do
one-night stands.
But as the tension mounts between them, Kate discovers she has larger problems—an untraceable stalker . . . and a dangerous past. When Michael offers his protection, Kate is grateful, and yet afraid. For as they grow closer, she realizes that Michael has his own secret past. And while he might save her life, he will surely break her heart.

“Did
you tell Julia that we’ve met already?”
Startled,
Kate turned toward him, her soft eyes looking at him from beneath
long eyelashes. Her arched brows gave hint of her embarrassment. “I
am so sorry about your shirt. You should let me pay for it.”
“Did
you know whom I was last night?” he asked with a deep voice.
She
touched the back of her neck, as if working out a kink. “Yes.”
“Why
didn’t you say something?” His eyes narrowed on her, and he took
a step closer.
“I.
. . .” Could she tell him she had been completely tongue-tied by
his devastating good looks? “Honestly, I did not think you would
remember me, and then I was in a hurry, so I just kind of rushed out
when your friend showed up.” Her poker face was failing her.
“You
thought I would forget you?”
His
words sent shivers dancing up her spine, and she could have sworn she
had a heart palpitation. She bit her bottom lip.
“If
we are going to work together, I would strongly suggest you not do
that,” he murmured, staring at her lips. His smoldering blue eyes
turned a shade darker.
She
allowed his words to hang in the air for a moment, free of gravity,
as she contemplated the appropriate response. She couldn’t help but
wonder if she’d wind up being the fourth planner fired. Was he
attracted to her, or was it a game he was playing to unnerve her? She
chose to ignore his comment and maintain professionalism. “Mr.
Maddox, how would you feel about an auction?”
“Please,
call me Michael.”
Brittney
Sahin began writing at an early age, with the dream to be a published
author before the age of 18. Although academic pursuits (and, later, a
teaching career) interrupted her aspirations, she never stopped
writing--never stopped imagining.
It wasn't until her students encouraged her to follow her dreams that Brittney said goodbye to Upstate New York in order to start a new adventure in the place she was raised: Charlotte, North Carolina. Here, she decided to take her students' advice and begin to write again.
In 2015, she published her first novel, Silenced Memories. When she is not working on upcoming novels, she spends time with her family. She is a proud mother of a spunky toddler and a lover of suspense novels, coffee, and the outdoors.
