“Your mother’s opiates are coming from Jose Herrera’s distribution network.” My pulse races as my stepfather speaks these words. Because taking on the Herreras also means taking on Diego.
Reckless, and hardened by a volatile past, Victoria does not see a future with Diego Herrera as a realistic option. As their childhood friendship ignites, they find themselves on opposite sides of a bloody feud between the two most powerful families in Mexico City. And she’s a Moreno now—brought up to be the secret weapon nobody suspected.
But Victoria can’t deny the attraction. Diego’s commanding muscles, the coarse, dark hair of his solid chest, that rugged scar above his sensuous lips…
Loyalty is in the eye of the beholder.

HARD TRIGGER
Excerpt
Copyright © 2018 S.L. Hannah
My body is spent. I want to feel him release inside of me. I
want to collapse on top of him. I want to keep fucking like two animals that
want to survive a wilderness that is both beautiful and vicious. Our chests
heave in a unison that signals it’s not over and he starts pumping into me…
Except I’m not just an animal. I turn my head towards the
end table, lean over and grab his cell phone.
“Call them off.” I shove the phone into his palms. “All of
them. Tell them I’m not here. That they made a mistake.”
Still pumping into me, his eyes grow wider. “Don’t be
fucking crazy. Let me walk you out of here and make everyone believe that
you’ve disappeared. At least for a little while.”
He’s hitting that spot. That warm and sensitive spot that
makes me second-guess every decision and every goal. That makes me curl up and
want to be swept away and taken care of even though I’ve never wanted it to be
part of my long-term plan because I’ve seen everything that my mother has
gained and lost by…being taken care of.
He searches my face for a place to reason. “What I’m
offering…they’re going to catch up to you eventually. And before you catch up
to my uncle again. He’s the second-in-line to a multi-national business. You
killed one of his men last night. You almost killed him. You think no one
noticed? This would give…us a chance.” he pleads. Even though he doesn’t say
it, it’s the same proposal that he made on our trip, except without the ring.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted. I’d always been tempted.
I freeze. He’ll never know how many times I ran over the
circumference of the diamond band on that night stand before I drove off,
deciding on a different destiny. I knew the moment I stepped in the old Peugeot
that the tread would be forever imprinted on my fingers.
“I can’t.”
The admission makes him choke on whatever he was about to
say and roar in frustration, because he’s not the type of man to accept defeat.
His fingers fumble on the screen. Awkwardly he holds the
cell against his ear, spitting in Spanish. He’s done what I’ve asked him to do.
He throws the phone, and then locks his forearms around my
neck, leading me closer to him. His cock is still stiff, and it throbs inside
of me, reminding me of why we’re even in this position.
Cursing, his lips find mine, biting, absorbing, demanding.
And I reciprocate. I’m not unwilling. I never have been. Our tongues tangle as
our bodies begin to move in unison again.
