Cherished (Masters and Mercenaries #7.5)(65)

“Your way?” Her voice deepened, her body prepping for battle. This was what she needed. She needed him to see the real her. She needed to test herself against him and find out who was going to come out on top.

“Yes. Mine. I don’t suspect you’ll like my way so it would be easier to just give me what I want and we can go our separate ways.”

She didn’t want to go her separate way. That was the whole the problem. The idea of even spending a couple more hours with him tempted her beyond belief. Even if he spent the whole time interrogating her.

She let go of trying to play sweet Phoebe Graham and allowed Phoebe Grant to surface for the first time in a long time.

Phoebe Grant was what Jesse would very likely call a brat. She wondered how Jesse would handle Phoebe Grant. “Bite my ass, sweetheart.”

A little thrill went through her spine as his eyes flared, emotion showing for the first time since he’d walked into the room. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

He strode to her, his boots sounding even on the carpet. He scooped her up and tossed her over his shoulder, her ass high in the air.

Phoebe worried she’d bitten off more than she could chew.

Kelsey Atwood is a private detective with a problem. She came from a family of hunters, growing up on the wrong side of the supernatural world. Tracking down bail jumpers and deadbeat dads may not make her a lot of friends, but it’s a lot safer than the life she turned her back on. She was hoping to escape from the nightmares of her past, but her latest case has brought them right back to her door.



A young woman has gone missing, and she didn’t go willingly. When Kelsey discovers that the girl is actually a shifter, she knows she should drop the case and walk away. But this shifter was a sweet kid, and she’s in serious trouble. More females are missing and the evidence points to a legendary killer. Bodies are piling up, and her case is becoming center stage for a conflict that could shatter the fragile peace between wolves and vampires.



As the hunt intensifies, she finds herself trapped between two men—Gray, a magnetic half-demon lawman, and the ancient vampire Marcus Vorenus. Both men call to her, but when a shocking secret about Kelsey’s family is revealed, it could ruin them all. To stop the killer, she will have to embrace the truth about who—and what—she truly is.





Gray sat down on the bed again, reaching out to take my hand. I wouldn’t give it to him so he settled his palm on my knee. “Have you ever made love, sweetheart?”

It was an utterly ridiculous question and I felt my face heating up. “Don’t be ridiculous. I’m not a virgin. I’ve had sex before.”

“With anyone who gave a shit about you?’

Anger replaced the embarrassment because he’d hit the nail on the head and I didn’t want to face that fact. I no longer cared if he saw my tits. I pushed his hand off me.

“Fuck you, Gray,” I said with every intention of getting out of the house. It didn’t matter that it was the middle of the night and I didn’t have a car. I would risk it.

His face became a mask of implacable will. As I started to get up, his hand shot out and grabbed my ankle. Before I knew what was happening, his full weight pinned me to the bed and he used his hands to twist something around my wrists. It happened so quickly, I couldn’t stop it. My hands were bound tightly together with what looked like black lace.

I stared up at the sight of my hands, too shocked at the moment to be truly pissed off. “Are those my panties?”

“They are indeed, sweetheart.” Gray didn’t move, continuing to use his two hundred twenty pounds of pure muscle to hold my one twenty down. He leaned slightly to the side, and I heard the nightstand drawer open. His erection was even harder than it had been before, and I hadn’t thought that was possible. He twisted his hips to grind against my pelvis and I couldn’t stop a little gasp of surprise. That felt really good. “Those are your pretty little panties and these are my handcuffs. Regulation Ranger issue.”
