Wicked Pleasures
It's just a simple surveillance job, right? Former marine and FBI agent Linc Williams is monitoring his target's ex-girlfriend, Regina Dodson. But nothing is simple when he's watching a woman who makes him forget everythingâ € " except for the need to know Regina as thoroughly and wickedly as possible….After all, the best way to observe someone is to get as close as possible. And Linc can't get any closer–the sex is absolutely mind-blowing! Unfortunately, Regina has had her share of bad luck with guys. So what will she do when she discovers that these wicked pleasures started as deceptive measures?

It was sex. Pure and simple.
Thatâs what this was. Nothing more. Nothing less. Linc knocked on Reginaâs door and she opened it immediately. The dampness of the ends of her curls and her change of clothes told him sheâd taken a quick shower. The look in her eyes told him sheâd been looking forward to this moment as much as he had.
She wore a simple pair of jeans that were anything but simple on her curvy frame, and a plain pink T-shirt that was anything but plain.
Damn, but she was beautiful.
And sexier than any woman had a right to be.
He cleared his throat. âHi.â
She smiled. âHi.â
And then he was kissing her.
Linc wasnât clear on how he moved from Point A to Point B so quickly. All he knew was that one moment he was closing her apartment doorâ¦the next he was pretty near swallowing her whole.
And she was eagerly returning his hungry attentions.
It seemed both of them were intent on making sure she didnât fall asleep againâ¦.

LINCOLN WILLIAMS knew two things to be true: he was damn good at his jobâ¦and he was damn good at his job.
The restâ¦well, the rest was a crapshoot.
As the only son of a single Caucasian mother and an African-American father he had never met, heâd been relegated to the fence separating each culture: not white enough to feel completely comfortable in his motherâs world; not dark enough to belong in the unfamiliar black community.
So heâd learned early on that the only thing he could control were his actions. And it was those actions on which he insisted he be judged. Not by verbal agreement, but by tacit understanding. It wasnât until heâd become first a Marine, then was recruited into the FBI at Quantico, that heâd come into his own. Learned not only to embrace his preference to go unnoticed, but to use it to his advantage. Something he was damn good at, despite his height of six foot four and muscular two-hundred-and-fifty-pound build.
Of course, only he knew about his recurring dream of disappearing altogether.
It was on the heels of just such a nightmare that heâd abruptly resigned his position with the Bureau ten months ago and signed on with fellow ex-Marines to establish Lazarus Security based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Their most public success to date was assisting in the recovery of a missing seven-year-old girl in Florida.
But what Linc had to do now was in no way connected to Lazarus: a man he had helped put away for a thirty-year term of incarceration had just escaped. And he fully intended to return him to the six-by-eight-foot cell where he belonged.
If his reasons stretched beyond the fact that heâd been the one to capture the sadistic criminal two years ago while still with the Bureauâ¦well, that was between him and his target.
Thankfully, the Friday staff meeting at Lazarus didnât include anything that required his undivided attention.
