Romantic Suspense

Barboursville, West Virginia – Present Day

Poppy Potter and Jack Lee Bridger have known each other since they were children. When she was seven and he was fourteen, she saved his life after his marauding father was looking for Jack and she protected him by bringing him to her family. As they both grew older, they ran into each other on occasion. Jack turned out hard, seemingly always in trouble, and joined the SEALs, while she remained in Barboursville. They haven’t seen each other for a few years, but Jack knows he is about to come into contact with the woman he has never forgotten because he has an undercover assignment in his hometown. 

Spotting Poppy, Jack realizes two things. First, she is going to prove a distraction to his assignment. Secondly, he doesn’t care because he wants to have sex with her. The sparks fly hot and heavy between them. Poppy doesn’t know why Jack is back, but she feels like he is up to no good as he is hanging out with people who are notorious for drug dealing and human trafficking. Is she attracted to the wrong kind of man? But it doesn’t matter because she can’t resist him. Meanwhile, Jack is trying to keep Poppy protected, which means he can’t tell her what he is doing. 

Oh, boy. PLAY DIRTY will keep you on the edge of your seat as Jack navigates the danger while flirting with Poppy. Readers will figure it won’t be long before he has his way with her. It’s not like she is pushing him away. She has been attracted to him forever. Once in a while, he would come to town, but he kept his distance from her. Now he lives next door, and all kinds of questionable people interact with him. Yet, deep down, Poppy knows that whatever Jack is doing, it is because he is doing it for a good cause. Yes, she trusts his instincts. How will she feel knowing that he will kill to achieve what he wants? What about when it comes time for him to leave town? Will Poppy end up with a broken heart?

The sexual tension between Poppy and Jack is thicker than molasses in this sizzling hot tale. But readers will get the connection between them, and woe is anyone or anything coming between them. Jack keeps a lot of secrets from her, and while she might have turned a blind eye in the past, she can’t now when she realizes that he is willing to kill—even to protect her. The sex between them is fiery hot and both dive in knowing that this might be their last chance together. As PLAY DIRTY delves deeper into the reason why Jack is in town and undercover, it becomes more dangerous. The tension ramps up to a titillating level. I won’t give away the spoiler as to what Jack and his comrades are looking for, but it might just open your eyes. 

If you love an action-packed romantic suspense that also features hot, sizzling sex between a couple made for each other, then don’t miss the drama in PLAY DIRTY.
