“A tramp stamp?” she repeated like an idiot, her heart starting to pound. Why was he looking at her like that? He looked predatory. He hadn’t moved an inch, but it felt menacing. He didn’t look angry, but there was something about the way he was watching her. She felt like a mouse trapped by a very large cat.

“A tattoo across the lower back.” His voice was soft, his smile wicked as he raised his brows in question. “Would you like one?”

“I don’t get it,” she said realizing how dangerous Jeremy looked, how much larger he was than her, how much stronger.

“Really? I do. You’re snooping around in my locked closet.”

“Is that a problem?” she asked, swallowing. “Are we keeping secrets?”

His eyes never wavered from her.
“I was.”

Contemporary Romances

Don't Call Me Crazy

When a brawny, right-brained San Francisco artist falls in love with a beautiful left-brained internal medicine resident and tells her someone is out to get him, Gabrielle believes it is just Jeremy’s over-active imagination. And while the spilled turpentine on the stairs and a gas burner left on in his apartment could be his own fault, it doesn't explain someone trying to run him off the road and stealing the steering column out of his car. Is it all just absentmindedness and freak occurrences or could Jeremy be right?

Given the choice of being stalked by Cody or being completely bonkers, Darlene knows that bonkers is the better option.
