Scandal. Wealth. Power. Seduction. Welcome to the world of the O'Malleys.
Ex-cop Charlotte Finch used to think there was a clear line between right and wrong. Then her fellow officers betrayed her, and the world is no longer so black and white. Especially when it's Aiden O'Malley, one of the most dangerous men in Boston, who offers her a chance for justice. The only catch: she'll have to pretend to be his fiancée for his plan to work.
Aiden can't afford to let anyone see the man behind the mask. To run the O'Malley empire, he has to be cool and controlled at all times. But the moment he meets Charlie, they're playing with fire. Her slightest touch is enough to send him over the edge. At first their "engagement" was a way to eliminate his enemies. Now he'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe-- even if he has to destroy his own family to do it.

Katee Robert
“Let’s get one thing
clear—”
“One thing? I have a goddamn list.”
He bracketed her
throat, putting just enough pressure there to stop her words. “Did you change
your mind?”
She narrowed her eyes
but didn’t try to pretend she had no idea what he was talking about. “You play
your game your way. I’ll play it mine.”
Disobedient and willful
to the very end. He couldn’t decide if she was trying to provoke a response or
if she was just that opposed to being locked down in any way. In the end, it
didn’t matter. “I should bend you over this counter and fuck you into
submission.”
“Don’t think for a
second it would work.” Charlie rolled her eyes. “And beyond that, we’re already
going to be late, so unless you’re looking for a quickie, fucking me in any way
is out of the question.”
The irrational side of
him, which always seemed to come into play around her, rose to demand he throw
caution to the wind and prove her wrong. He reined it in, but only barely.
Every time she pushed him, intentionally or not, he slid a little closer to the
edge. It was only a matter of time before he went over—and took her with him.
Aiden let go of her and
stepped back. He didn’t like the confusion on her face—or the flicker of hurt
that rose as he moved to the dresser across the room. For all her spikes, there
was something fragile about Charlie, and he’d have to be a special kind of
bastard to want to shatter her, no matter who her father was.
He opened the drawer at
the bottom that had been empty until a week ago. “Take off your panties.”
“I’m sorry, what?”
He gave her a look.
“You heard me.”
“I’m waiting for you to
explain.”
Aiden shook his head
slowly. “There aren’t two separate games—there’s only my game. Either play along or deal with the consequences.” He
picked an item out of the drawer and held it up. “Here’s your first
punishment.”
“I didn’t do anything
wrong.” But her eyes lit with interest at the small blue vibe in his hand.
He motioned her
forward, giving her plenty of time to tell him to go to hell.
But she didn’t.
Charlie moved to stand
directly in front of him. He lifted her dress to the tops of her thighs,
bunching the shimmering fabric. “Hold this,” he ordered.
“You are aggravating in
the extreme.”
“So I’ve been told.” He
pulled her panties down to her thighs. It was tempting to kiss her there, but
he forced himself to stay on task. Aiden held the small vibe against her clit
as he shifted the lace back into place. It took a few seconds to maneuver it to
exactly where he wanted, but then he sat back on his heels. “You can let go
now.”
“This is an important night,
Aiden.” She shifted, a frown on her face. “We don’t have time for your sex
games to distract me.”
He pulled out his phone
and brought up the app he’d downloaded when he bought the sex toy. A flick of
his finger and her entire body tensed. Aiden didn’t bother to hide his
satisfied smile. It fell away when he touched his pocket and the little box it
held. “One more thing.”
“I swear to God, I draw
the line at anal plugs, so don’t even think about it.”
That surprised a laugh
out of him. What surprised him even more was how good it felt. When was the
last time he’d laughed freely in a way that wasn’t calculated?
Aiden couldn’t
remember.
He stood and pulled out
the ring box. “I’d go down on one knee, but that isn’t the kind of relationship
we have.”
“No, it’s not.” She
looked a little sick, but she held out her hand so he could slide the ring onto
it. “Aiden, it’s beautiful.”
“It was my
grandmother’s.” It had taken some shady work to figure out Charlie’s ring size
after he’d first met her, so that he could get the ring resized. He hadn’t told
anyone about it. Though he’d been as sure of her as he could be of a
near-stranger, he hadn’t wanted to admit the lengths he’d gone through, in case
things didn’t pan out.
If anything, she looked
even more horrified. “I can’t wear your grandmother’s ring. It’s not right.”
“You have to. As oldest
son and heir, that ring rightfully belongs to my future wife. It would be more
than a little suspicious if I didn’t
give it to you.”
She touched the massive
diamond. It was in the same setting as when his grandfather had proposed,
little rubies and garnets surrounding the diamond, to represent colors in the
O’Malley crest.
It felt a whole lot
like he’d just branded Charlie.
It didn’t bother him
nearly as much as it should.
Praise
for UNDERCOVER ATTRACTION
“Robert (Forbidden Promises) combines strong
chemistry, snappy plotting, and imperfect yet appealing characters in her fifth
O’Malley contemporary.”—Publishers
Weekly on UNDERCOVER ATTRACTION
“Imagine the erotic sensibility
of Red Shoe Diaries expertly
fused with the ruthless power struggles that fueled The Sopranos and you have some
idea of the flavor of Robert’s RITA–nominated O’Malleys series. In the fifth
installment, she doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to the searing
sensuality of the love scenes or the brutal danger propelling the plot, thus
delivering exactly the kind of intense love story her readers crave.”—Booklist

About Katee Robert
New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Katee
Robert learned to tell her stories at her grandpa’s knee. Her 2015 title, The
Marriage Contract, was a RITA finalist, and RT Book Reviews named it 'a
compulsively readable book with just the right amount of suspense and
tension." When not writing sexy contemporary and romantic suspense,
she spends her time playing imaginary games with her children, driving her
husband batty with what-if questions, and planning for the inevitable zombie
apocalypse.
