How well do you know the lover in your bed?


It was the hottest hookup of her life. When Tess Barrett spent the night in the arms of the too sexy to be real stranger, she knew she was walking on the wild side. Sex with James Smith was the best EVER. How was she supposed to walk away from that? From him? So…she didn’t. They planned secret dates. More body-melting hookups. The white-hot sex should have been enough.


So why does she start wanting more?


But they have rules. She has rules. No emotions. No ties. She has a past that is dark and twisted, and she’s worked hard to become a new person. She’s a doctor now. Respected. Controlled. Except…there is no control when she’s around James.


A bad guy…might be falling for the good girl.


James can’t keep his hands off his sexy little doctor. She’s buttoned down for everyone else but goes absolutely wild for him. Sure, she doesn’t know his history. Doesn’t know that the man she lets touch every inch of her body used to spend his days working for Uncle Sam and doing some seriously dirty deeds. What she doesn’t know can’t hurt her, right? And if she ever did learn the truth about him, he knew it would terrify his sweet doc right to her core. Terror would make her run. He doesn’t want her running. He just wants her in his bed.


But then…something happens. Danger sneaks up on Tess. She needs help—a very particular expertise and protective skill set. She needs someone lethal and strong…and James is just the man for the job. After all, lethal is his middle name.


Hello, dangerous times.


When James steps in, Tess doesn’t know if she should be grateful or scared to death. Because her gorgeous lover? Turns out he has plenty of mad and dangerous skills. She’s been hooking up with a superhero or…maybe a super villain. It’s sort of hard to tell the difference.


For the moment, she’s going to go with feeling grateful…but as she learns all of his secrets, Tess wonders what will happen next between them. Will they crash and burn? Burn, baby, burn. Or maybe, just maybe, they’ll actually have a GHOST OF A CHANCE at getting a happily ever after ending.


Author’s Note: James Smith is one mad, bad, dangerous guy…but sometimes, bad guys fall hard for good girls. GHOST OF A CHANCE is super hot, charged with lots of feels, and, it’s got some pulse-pounding action for you. Dirty words and dirty deeds are dead ahead. Oh, and there’s plenty of fun thrown in, too. Mystery, humor, sexy times, and danger—all of my favorite things in a book.

OMG!! Talk about intensity!!! This book has it in spades!

With the exception of two close friends, Tess is a loner. She works, goes home and works some more. She doesn’t have time for anything more, and that is by her choosing. But after a particularly awful day, she decides to take one night with James and soon finds herself needing him for more than just one night.

James has a past that has left his hands covered in blood. From the minute he lays eyes on Tess the empty place that was once his soul begins to mend itself. But there are rules in place between them and even as it kills him to adhere to them, he waits and watches for her return even as he knows his past could very well catch up to him one day.

Tess may have been a bit broken, but she was always forthright and down to earth. She always said what was on her mind even when it might not be the socially acceptable thing to say. Her past was rough and yet the worst of it helped her to become a pretty incredible person. I loved that James was drawn to her quirky truthfulness because I was too.

***”You heard me. Stop being ----ing adorable. It’s distracting. And you do it all the time. I’m starting to think you do it deliberately just to throw me off my game.”

***’The woman then had the nerve to march back for the door, all determined like, as if she was about to leave him. Like she was going to appear, decimate his world, and then vanish once more.

Pure Tess. Unpredictable. Maddening. Determined. Was it any wonder he was hooked on her?’

With an even darker past, one forged by death and survival, James was pretty intense. Probably one of the most intense heroes I’ve read outside of a “dark romance”. It was that very intensity that initially made me keep turning the pages. He’s definitely my type of hero with his driving need to protect Tess.

***’”Want to destroy anyone who hurts you.” He knew his words were wrong. Too savage and dark, but she didn’t get it - that was who he was. He was savage and dark, and he wasn’t a safe lover, not by any means.

Yet she was safe, with him. He would always keep her safe.’

This plot is built with layer upon layer of mystery, suspense and danger. I never suspected how it might end until it began to unfold piece by piece. I was glued to this from the very beginning, first because of the characters and then because of the intensity of the story as the end drew near. With some humor added via a few of the Wilde agents, this was a perfectly rounded out book that will definitely be reread in the future.
