Dear Reader,
I am so excited to share Loganâs story with you! Army Ranger Logan Reed was one of the horse soldiers from my Mills & Boon Blaze debut, Command Performance. He appeared as a side character, but I could not stop thinking about the lonely widower sidelined from the job he loved. I felt he deserved a happily-ever-after. But first, I needed to find the perfect heroine.
Then I met Sadie, the erotica writer determined to succeed. I love writing about strong women, but what made Sadie stand out in my mind was her constant struggle for work/life balance. Sadie seemed like a great match for Loganâexcept for the fact that he is on a mission to keep a low profile and she is actively seeking publicity for the next book in her bestselling erotica series.
I love hearing from readers! Could you relate to Sadieâs desire to balance her personal life with her career ambitions? Did you enjoy the small-town setting? Let me know!

To Maya, for her help plotting this book.
And to my husband, thank you for your endless support and love. I couldnât have written this book without you!
The things he wants, they are dirtyâdepraved evenâbut then so are my fantasies. The difference is he knows how to ask for what he wants, and I lost my voice long ago.

âEVERY WOMAN IN here is staring at you.â
U.S. Army Ranger Logan Reed looked up from his burger at the petite, white-haired woman across the table. Fact was he would rather be anywhereâIraq, Afghanistan, a remote African villageâbut here, sitting across the table from his aunt Lou at The Quilted Quail, an old barn that had been converted into the only respectable restaurant in Mount Pleasant, Vermont.
âBecause they want to raffle me off at the Summer Festival.â He returned his attention to his food. After a week spent hiking and camping, heâd thought a decent meal would be worth venturing into town for an early dinner. Now, he wasnât so sure.
âYou canât hide from the people who have known you since you were in diapers. Look, thereâs Cindy.â Aunt Lou waved her hand at the blond-haired, blue-eyed first-grade teacher. âShe was asking when youâd be back from your trip. She is in charge of this yearâs raffle and she thinks âlunch with a heroâ will be a big-ticket item.â
âIâm not a goddamn hero.â
âLanguage, Logan,â his aunt scolded.
He watched as Cindy weaved through the wooden tables. Heâd been approached by nearly everyone who had anything to do with the townâs Summer Festival since his commanding officer had ordered him to take some time to rest, relax and get his head on straight. After Loganâs mistake had left his teammate with a bullet in the shoulder, he couldnât blame his CO. And now that a journalist wanted to write a book about the mission Logan had screwed up? The army had even more reason to keep him on R & R.
