Excerpt
He smelled like home. Like love. Like promise and comfort, like passion and disbelief.
âWhatâs wrong?â he snapped, his face alternating between joy and anger. âWhy are you here?â
Coming to her senses, she extracted the thick envelope from her brief bag, looking him square in the eye. âLegal matter. Iâve been instructed to deliver this to you.â She used remarkable restraint in not peering around Gerald to get more of an eyeful of Declan McCormickâs stately form.
Then again, Gerald was an impenetrable wall of muscle himself, not easily subverted. Sheâd need taller heels to peer around him. He did not move his palm from her arm, and his touch infused her, a deeply satisfying sense of connection slowly creeping along her skin, her breath quickening, his touch ringing bells inside her that had been dormant for a decade.
âWhat is it?â
âRead it. Youâll understand.â She turned on her heel and started to leave, shaking inside so hard she might trigger the New Madrid fault.
He glared at her. âWhat? Thatâs it? Ten years and thatâs it?â He pulled back, breaking contact.
All her anxiety faded, like an antidote injected straight into the heart, his words kicking in, providing such clarity.
âTen years you chose, Gerald,â she hissed, mouth curling, throat seizing. âYou do not get to put this on me.â Grief flared in her, a burst like a fireball, and then it turned to the ash of anger, a light coat settling over every spare surface of her heart.
His eyebrows shot up, eyes gliding away, his nose twitching and mouth tightening as if holding back.
Squaring her shoulders, Suzanne decided to make this easy for him. God only knew why. âMy law firm is handling the estate of deceased billionaire Harold Hopewell. Youâve been named in his will.â She tapped the thick envelope in his hand. âThese papers explain everything.â
âExplain what?â
âYouâre his heir. One of them, at least.â

♥ ♥ ♥If you knew love would hurt you, would you fall? If you knew love would leave you, would you let it go? If you knew love could never be, would you try? From bestselling author Randi Cooley Wilson comes a gut-wrenching love story about heartbreak, second chances, and letting go. The ifs that linger between the pages of this novel will break your heart and stay with you long after the final chapter. Emerson Shaw thought she’d left her old life behind her, but when she returns home for her best friend’s wedding, she has no idea her past is waiting to reclaim her. Dark and broken, Lincoln Daniels never wanted to find love. But when he met straight-laced Emerson, he fell. Hard. The only thing they seemed to have in common was an undeniable mutual attraction, but from the moment he laid eyes on her, there was something about her that called to him. Until he lost her. Tormented by demons and consumed by dark desires, it took years to slowly glue together the shattered pieces of their what ifs. Just when Emerson is finally ready to let go and stop existing in a past full of pain and regret, Lincoln returns, turning her life upside down. What begins as a tentative friendship quickly escalates, and the two soon realize that all the ifs lingering between them no longer matter. If is a love story about two damaged people whose future depends on promises made in the past. What happens when two broken people meet, fall in love, and realize they can never be? What happens when all the what ifs no longer make sense? If you knew your heart would break, would you still fall? This book is intended for mature audiences.♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥Randi Cooley Wilson is a best selling author of paranormal, urban fantasy, and contemporary romance books.

Early Review
"WOW! Matteo and his brothers are HOT! By the time you finish The Vendetti Empire youâre not going to know which one you love the most. Iâll happily take them all!" â Victoria Ashley, New York Times Bestselling Author
Excerpt
Her gaze flicks at me curiously, no doubt wondering what Iâm in for and how I got to be the one in line to marry Matteo in the first place. His bloodline is practically Italian royalty, and Iâm not from their part of Italy. If we were home, I wouldnât be considered âgood enoughâ for him, and Iâd more than likely be his throwaway whore than his wife. I donât know how my father pulled it off, either. Sure, weâre part of the five influential families in Chicago, but marrying the boss of bosses in New York is a damn big deal in our world. My papa no doubt had some favors in his back pocket he called in.
I also canât help but wonder, who could want us dead that badly for him to show his hand to the Vendettis?

Excerpt
âOkay. Change of plansâpie first, cleaning later. I get weepy when Iâm hanky.â
âHanky?â Theo followed me to the kitchen.
âItâs a portmanteau.â Walking over to the table, I removed the foil from the dish. Steam billowed up, carrying the heavenly scent of apples and cinnamon with it.
âIâm sorry, a what?â Sounding utterly confused, Theo went over to a small white coffee maker next to the sink and punched a button. It sputtered for a few seconds before the aroma filled the room.
He grabbed two mismatching mugs from the cabinet. Setting them down, he leaned back against the counter while he waited for me to explain.
âBlending two words to make one,â I said. âHungry and cranky equals hanky.â
âIsnât the term âhangry?ââ
âNo, I donât think that fits. I donât get mad,â I clarified. âJust irritable.â
âItâs kinda like my nickname, huh? Putting Theodore and dog together.â
âYeah, kind of like that.â I grimaced because he obviously wasnât a fan of the combination. âIâm sure whoever came up with that thought they were being very clever.â
âThey probably got promoted.â
âProbably.â
âWell, Iâm feeling mighty humpy myself.â When he said the word âhumpyâ, I couldâve sworn I saw his pelvis do a slight thrust.
I almost fell over. âExcuse me?â
He sent me a grin that did funny things to my stomach. âPortmanteau. Hungry and grumpy. Humpy.â
That was inappropriate but also correct. I couldnât knock him for coming up with his own word, even if it did draw my attention to his groin.
I tried to force myself to look away from his lower half, but it was really difficult.
Because now that I wasnât scrutinizing his living quarters, my thoughts went elsewhere: straight to the gutter.
The gray fabric of his pants stretched over his crotch, and he probably wasnât wearing underwear because I could see a very distinct outline of his dick.
I didnât mean to stare at it, but it was just right there. Out in the open. And alarmingly large. It was like spotting a rare animal in the wild. The thing practically needed its own Australian accented voiceover.
Inexperienced as I was when it came to actual sex, I wasnât completely innocent. I knew what a semi-erect penis looked like. The length of it rested against his thigh and the definition of the thick head was impressive.
I swallowed hard.
âHey.â Theoâs voice startled me, and my eyes snapped up to his.
My cheeks were on fire. Iâd been caught, and I wanted nothing more than to sink under the table and hide.
âHi,â I squeaked, lowering myself into the chair.
âLetâs just blame the rough start to the day on low blood sugar. Deal?â
Well, that wasnât what Iâd expected him to say, but it was a lot better than him calling me out for eye-balling his junk.
âDeal,â I responded. Then for my own benefit, I added the reminder, âIâm looking forward to being coworkers and friends.â
His left eyebrow arched on the word âfriends.â
Dang it. Maybe he did see me checking him out after all.
For the sake of my sanity, I really hoped he was planning to wear jeans for the show. And maybe some underwear with crotch-confining support. Like a girdle, but for penises.
