Thank you so much for having me on your blog. I’m very excited to
share Explosive Desire with your readers. Although it is book four in my Love
With a Price series, all of my books are written so they can be enjoyed as
stand-alone novels, so even if you haven’t read the previous books, don’t let
that deter you. Luke Price is my hottest hero yet, and this is the first book
in my Love With a Price series that is a suspense!
Explosive Desire
Love With a Price, Book 4
A stalker has set his sights on Harper and will stop at
nothing to make her his…
Finding love is the last thing on Luke Price’s mind as he
leads his construction crew to complete the new wing of Oakville Hospital. But
he can’t deny his feelings when Dr. Harper Love walks into his life. Lacking
the sociability of his younger siblings, Luke doesn’t think a woman like Harper
would ever want an introvert like him. But he puts his skepticism on hold when
he discovers that Harper has become the victim of a stalker. Above all else,
Luke vows to protect the woman he cares about.
When Dr. Harper Love moves to Oakville, she doesn’t expect
to find a network of new friends, a man who captures her heart, and certainly
not a stalker who watches her every move. When she begins receiving menacing
notes at the hospital where she works, it soon becomes clear that the threats
are no prank. Harper finds herself turning to Luke Price, and his protective
instincts go on high alert. Will his heart be able to stand losing Harper? Or
can he figure out who the stalker is and keep the woman he loves safe?

Explosive Desire (Love With a Price, #4) Excerpt
"Look at me.” When she didn’t respond, he deepened his voice. “Harper, look at me. Now.”
She turned her head to look at him with weary blue eyes. Fuck, he
hated that she looked so broken. He wanted to fix her. Or at least make her
forget all the pain and potential danger right outside the door.
He opened his mouth to speak, but she stopped him with a shake of
her head. “Please don’t. Don’t say it’s going to be okay. Don’t tell me there’s
nothing to worry about, and they’re going to catch this guy.” She took a shaky
breath. “I know everyone at your mom’s was just trying to help, trying to make
me feel better.” Her fingers absently played along his. “I just don’t want you
to lie to me.” She looked down at their hands.
Her words nearly broke him. He raised a hand to her cheek and
brushed aside her blonde curls to cup her face and tilt it up to him. “I’ll
never lie to you, Harper. Not ever. I can’t even imagine how violated you must
be feeling right now. What this psycho is doing to you makes me sick to my
stomach. But I can make you one promise. I will not let anything happen to you,
do you understand me? I’ll die before I ever let anyone hurt you.”
Her eyes filled, and she tried to look away, but he held her face
steady. “No. Look at me.” She raised her eyes again, and a tear spilled over.
Luke gently wiped it away with his thumb then leaned in to press his lips
against her forehead. He pulled back to look into her face. “You don’t have to
be afraid, Pretty, not of me.” He brushed away another tear and stroked the
back of his knuckles along her jaw. “I’m the man you can trust. I’m the man you
can depend on. And I’m not going anywhere.”
“Luke…” She said his name on a whisper as the pad of his thumb
stroked gently over her bottom lip. Tentatively, her tongue snaked out to lick
his thumb. He stilled as her soft wetness played over the tip of his thumb.
Harper searched his face as if she were waiting to see if he would pull away.
When he didn’t, she sucked his thumb into her mouth.
Heat flared through Luke, and his arousal ratcheted up to eleven.
Get it together, Price. She’s vulnerable. You can’t take advantage
of her.
“Harper…” He should tell her this wasn’t a good idea. When he made
love to her, he wanted it to be because she needed him as much as he needed
her, not because she was using him as a distraction. But when she raised her
face to his and leaned in, he couldn’t deny her, couldn’t deny himself.
The second their lips
met, all semblance of reasoning slipped away. The only thing in his head was
her.
