About PLAY TO WIN (book 3 in The Risky Business Series)
Falling in love with polar-opposite men was an intoxicating ride that nearly ended Sage Reese’s life. Now it’s time for Sage to decide: Parker, the clean-cut, filthy-rich business magnate . . . or Ryker, the tough-as-nails undercover detective. Her choice? Neither. Because she can’t stand the thought of coming between two brothers-in-arms finally trying to repair their friendship.
Yet not everyone feels the same way, including a mysterious woman who’s come to Ryker and Parker for help. Sage knows firsthand how hard it is for the two former Marines to resist a damsel in distress. But something just doesn’t feel right.
Now there’s a danger closing in that only Sage can see, and she intends to do everything she can to protect Parker and Ryker-even at the risk of losing them both.
EXCERPT
βParkerβs dead.β
Ryker stared at me, seemingly uncomprehending. Not that I could blame him. Iβd just arrived on his doorstep in the middle of the night, though it didnβt look like heβd been asleep.
βThey came to my apartment,β I continued, my voice flat. βThey took me and they killed him. They justβ¦killed him.β I couldnβt continue. Tears poured from my eyes as I began to sob. Iβd been numb before, the ordeal of being kidnapped necessitating a distance from the horror of what had happened in my apartment. Was Parkerβs body there even now?
I couldnβt breathe. Ryker was talking to me but I couldnβt hear him and I still couldnβt breathe. My knees buckled and if he hadnβt had a hold of me, I wouldβve crumpled to the floor.
βSage! Listen to meβ¦β Ryker implored, but I barely heard him.
Suddenly, I was torn from his grasp. A hand forced my chin up and I blinked open my eyesβ
Parker.
I gasped, stumbling backward, but he caught me.
βIβm okay,β he said, his blue eyes boring into mine. βThey didnβt kill me. Iβm all right.β
My jaw was hanging open, my sobs abruptly cut off, and then I threw myself at him.
βOh my God oh my God on my God,β I kept repeating, my arms circling his neck so tightly I had to be choking him. Not that he seemed to mind. βYouβre here! Youβre okay.β More tears, but this time of relief rather than heartbreak.
Parker held me just as close, his arms around my waist just this side of painfully tight. His face was buried in my neck and I savored the feel of him in a way I never had beforeβ¦because Iβd never been so close to losing him as I had come tonight.
The sound of Ryker clearing his throat brought me back to the here and now, and I pulled back, releasing Parker. He let me go, albeit reluctantly it seemed. An uncomfortable awareness settled over me as I stepped away to put some space between Parker and me. Ryker stood a few feet away, shirtless with a bandage covering the burn on his chest, watching us.
βSo, um, how, uh, how did you get here?β I asked Parker, hurriedly swiping my wet cheeks. My voice was hoarse and I avoided both their gazes, instead sinking onto the couch. I glanced around hopefully for McClane, but remembered he was still recuperating at the vetβs.
βRyker showed up just in time, before Leo and his men decided to finish me off,β Parker said.
Leo Shea. Crime boss, ruthless βbusinessman,β and the guy whoβd not only tried to kill me, but had decided to kill Parker, too. Lives meant nothing to him. Parkerβs had been for expediency; mine was for revenge. Only luck in the former and the timely intervention of my fatherβs in the latter had thwarted Leo.
βAnd your apartment needs another cleanup job, by the way. Iβll call to get it done.β
Good to know. I wondered if whoever the CIA used for that sort of thing offered a discount for frequent customers.
βI knew theyβd taken you,β Parker continued. βRyker has weapons and ammunition, so we came here.β
He didnβt continue, but I could fill in the rest. Theyβd been on their way to rescue me. Well, at least they could agree on something at last.
And Ryker had ended up keeping Parker alive. I remembered now. Ryker had dropped me off at my place, then left to go to the police station, but had said heβd be back. Looked like his timing couldnβt have been better. Heβd saved Parker, a man he supposedly hated.
Now the two men stood a few feet apart, both looking at me. The enormity of all that had happened during the past few days washed over me and I lifted a hand to rub my forehead. Ryker had said he wasnβt giving up on me, and Parker had told me he loved me. My headache seemed to grow exponentially, especially when images of Parker and me in my bed flashed through my mind.

About Power Play (book 1 in The Risky Business Series)
Sage Reese lives for her job. More precisely, she lives for her debonair boss, Parker Andersen. Sage handles everything for Parker, even as she fantasizes about the one thing that isn’t in her job description: him. But when a high-stakes account crosses the line from shady to deadly, a tough cop starts giving Sage the attention she wishes Parker would . . .
Detective Dean Ryker couldn’t be more different from Parker. While Parker wears expensive suits like a second skin and drives a BMW, Ryker’s uniform is leather jackets and jeans . . . and his ride of choice is a Harley. While Parker’s sexiness is a reserved, slow burn, Ryker is completely upfront about what-and who-he’s after. And Sage tops his list.
Now, as Ryker digs deeper into the dark side of Parker’s business, Sage finds herself caught between two men: the one she’s always wanted-and the one who makesΒ herΒ feel wanted like never before . . .
