Author: Nancy Brown
Series: Cross Security #2
Genre: Romantic Suspense
As a member of Cross Security, Mason Hawk is a tormented man on a mission…some might say he has a death wish. No case is too difficult. Nothing if off limits. He delivers his own brand of justice. Solitude is his only reward. For fifteen years he has hidden the secrets he ran from at age seventeen. He shut everyone out when he became a Navy SEAL and he honed his skills to become the monster he believes he is. He’s a man with demons that run deep and dark. No one gets in. That is until she walks into his life and brings him to his knees. She’s beautiful, smart, and perfect. Like beauty and the beast, he believes she could never love a man like him.
Kai Wailani has lived the perfect life. She has a loving family, has surfed all over the world and is on top of her game at the U.S. Airforce, but she wants more. When she joins Cross Security, the only man stopping her from achieving her goal is a gorgeous wall of muscle who goes simply by Hawk. He’s dark, dangerous, and yet, he can make her smile with a single glance. He’s a force when he walks into a room and he wants nothing to do with her.
Like fire and ice, the dance begins. They are enemies. They are lovers. There are so many secrets. Can Hawk and Kai trust each other enough to find their happy ending or will their passion end them both?

As I’m walking through the lobby of my hotel, the concierge smiles brightly at me. She’s cute, sweet, and is always happy to see me. I’ve thought about asking her to join me for a drink on numerous occasions, but then a certain raven-haired beauty flashes across my mind and the thought dies away. I’m not interested in starting anything up with another woman and my dick seems to agree with me. As cute as Lisa is, she just doesn’t do it for me. No one does except the woman I stupidly pushed away. It’s for the best, I remind myself. I’m caught up in my pity party when I realize Lisa is talking to me.
“Enjoy your evening, Mr. Hawk. Your wife arrived a short while ago. I’ve sent a courtesy bottle of champagne up to your room.” She is so excited that she is almost bouncing in place.
I stop dead in my tracks. “Excuse me?” I ask as I look over at the girl who now has a nervous look on her face.
“Umm… your wife… she arrived about an hour ago.” She slaps her hand over her mouth and her eyes go wide. “Oh no, I forgot it was supposed to be a surprise and now I’ve ruined it. Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry.” She looks like she is about to be sick. “Please don’t tell her I ruined her surprise,” she pleads.
“Don’t worry about it, sweetheart, trust me, I’m still surprised. I won’t spoil it by telling her you told me.” My voice comes out a bit more growly than I intended. I mean, who can blame me, I just fucking found out I have a wife and I definitely don’t fucking remember getting married. I wonder who I’m married to as I double-time it to the elevator. I’m in the penthouse; the clients aren’t sparing any expense when it comes to proving their father was murdered, and since I am here for the long haul, they were gracious enough to make sure I was comfortable.
When the elevator doors open to my floor, I take a quick look around before I walk up to my door, pull the gun out of the holster under my jacket and load a bullet into the chamber. There’s no one out here and everything looks to be in order, but training kicks in and I prepare for whatever lies behind that door.
This job has been pretty uneventful, but things are about to get a lot more interesting. I slip my card into the slot on the door and the lock snicks open. It’s quiet, but not quiet enough. I’ve no doubt whoever is inside definitely knows I’m here now. Pushing the door open, I slip inside. The sound of soft jazz floats through the air. The place is dark except for the warm glow of flickering candles coming from down the hall. The familiar scent of wildflowers and the sea have my cock hardening as soon as I’m through the door. I know that scent, I breathe it in like it’s a lifeline to the promised land. It’s her scent… what the fuck is she doing here.
I click on the safety and holster my gun as I walk down the hall. She comes into view as I round the corner. Goddess, angel, seductress is all I can think as I take her in, sitting on the sofa, bathed in the warm glow of the candles that surround her. She’s fucking breathtaking. Her dark hair cascades over her shoulders and tumbles down her back like an inky waterfall. Her golden body is wrapped in soft pink silk that shimmers in the candlelight. Her head is resting back on the sofa and her eyes are closed. She hasn’t noticed me yet, or if she has, she isn’t letting on that she has.
I clear my throat as I lean my shoulder against the wall, watching her. Her eyes fly open and instantly lock on mine like two pools of molten chocolate that hold me captive. Her luscious lips curl up slightly at the corners at the sight of me, but she doesn’t say a word, she just sits there waiting for me to speak.
“What are you doing here, Kai?”
