CIRCLE OF DISHONOR

BLURB:
John
“Ice” Takahashi’s final job for The Circle has an unexpected hitch in it; he’s
fallen for an innocent civilian and his enemies know it. With his mission in a
shambles, he’ll do anything to protect her, including kill. So how can a man
without honor prove he’s worthy of her love?
Lena Matthews feels
like she’s playing with fire by dating the mysterious Master J. He’s exotic,
dangerous, and exactly what she needs in her boring life. With the bad guys
bearing down on them, she discovers a whole new world of sensuality that binds
her heart to his forever.

EXCERPT
John
Takahashi, also called Ice in the more deadly corners of the world, watched
from the shadows as the woman slid into her Nissan Altima. He wanted to be
certain she safely reached her car.
His hands
tightened on the steering wheel.
A burly
fellow strolled by Lena’s car and continued to the next lane without glancing
her way. John’s hold eased up. If the man had attempted to attack her, bloody
fat limbs would be scattered across the parking lot within seconds. He’d never
allow anyone to harm her. Hell, if the man only spoke to her, John was unsure
of his reaction. He’d never felt this way before. Possessiveness wasn’t his
usual
response. He only knew she belonged to him.
From the
first moment he saw her five weeks ago, intently watching him from the coffee
shop, he’d decided to meet her. Her contradicting shyness and boldness amused
him. The two times he’d allowed her to see him watching her, she’d looked away,
blushing. He liked that. From the way she walked and held herself, he suspected
she was a woman used to taking orders from a man. After being with so many
women with that certain need, he had a sixth sense about such matters.
His contacts
reported that her husband had died three years earlier. She wasn’t a flirt and
hadn’t dated during that period. She dressed stylishly but modestly. Her hours
were spent working in her house and in the flower beds surrounding her home.
Occasionally, she had lunch with friends and attended charity functions, but
nothing more.
Of course,
their time in the coffee shop had been a test. If she’d been too timid or too
bold, their time together would have ended without a dinner invitation. He
wanted a woman willing to take commands but strong enough to demand what she
needed in return.
