“I need to speak with Rivet.”
“I’m here,” he said, coming around the corner.
“I need you to pull some strings for me, and I want you to do it now.”
“What’s that?”
“Losha needs asylum, and I want you to put a rush on her citizenship papers.”
Rivet turned to Losha, who nodded.
“Excuse me,” he said, walking back in the direction from where he’d come. A few minutes later, he returned wearing a coat. “Ready?”
“Where are we going?”
“To Number 10. The prime minister is expecting us.”
Epilogue
Shiver
“No second thoughts?”
“None.”
“We’ll be away three entire weeks, Losha.”
“I made the reservations, Shiver.”
“It’s a long while.”
“Darrow is perfectly capable of caring for Kazmir while we’re away. She’ll have help not only from the nanny, but from Wilder, Pinch, Wellie, and even the duchess. Our son will have no shortage of love in our absence.”
“Let’s board, then.”
I led my wife onto the private plane that would carry us to the States for her best friend’s wedding, after which we intended to go on a past-due honeymoon of our own.
“The last time we were on this plane, I dreamed of us,” I told her.
“What about us?”
“Come with me, and we’ll make it come true.”

at the next book in the
Royal Agents of MI6 series,
The Lord and the Spy
An MI-5 agent shattering the “forbidden” in love.
Homeland Security’s breaking hearts and taking names.
Reckless and ruthless, the lord and the spy are uncovering more than just secrets…
THE LORD
Espionage, secrets, and all the other crap my team wants me tight-lipped about. And that’s fine. I’m used to life undercover. As an MI5 agent, I take on a lot. It’s who I am, and what I do. But the fiery new weapon for US Homeland Security is more dangerous than anything I’ve touched—or tasted—before. With her curves and sass, she’s dangerous and powerful. Let’s be honest, she’s never faced off against me though. I’ve got tricks to make anyone cave.
THE SPY
Poisonous, deadly, and perilous, I know how they see me—and why they fear me. With terrorist attacks piling up, there are enemies to take down, and I’m going to make them defenseless. But my number one target right now is a sexy and strong MI5 agent. If I shatter his heart, so be it. If I shatter mine, oh well. It takes more than just a lady to weaken that LORD.
The Lord and the Spy
Wilder Whittaker stood, perhaps waiting for me to do the same, but I wanted to see what he’d do if I didn’t. He didn’t disappoint.
The swoon-worthy, handsome agent leaned all six feet three inches of his powerful body on the hand he placed on his desk almost close enough to touch my bottom. He moved so I could see his eyes, which looked almost black from a distance, were really brown with flakes of gold and green. His wavy dark-brown hair had strands of blond and maybe even some gray mixed in. But mostly, his scent—a mix of sandalwood, citrus, and something else that smelled almost of aristocracy—filled my nostrils with an undeniable want.
Without needing to reach, I could slide my hand inside the folds of his jacket and run it over what I knew were the rock-hard pectoral muscles in his chest, then to his powerful shoulders, and up to cup his cheek and run my finger over the smirk on his lips.
“I’ll see you at eight, Miss Harlow,” he breathed, moving closer to me still. “In the meantime, think long and hard about how you want this to play out.”
“Meaning?”
“Just because they call me Wild doesn’t mean I don’t know how to be subdued, controlled, even civilized. Although, I’d far prefer it if you chose adventurous, entertaining—even titillating.”
“It’s just dinner, Mr. Whittaker.”
“It stopped being ‘just dinner’ the minute you walked into my office. You know it as well as I do.”

About the Author
Dear Readers,
I gave myself the gift of writing a book for my birthday one year. A few short years and thirty-plus books later, I’ve hit a couple of best-seller lists and have had the time of my life. The joy for me is in writing them, but nothing makes me happier than hearing from a reader who tells me I’ve made her laugh or cry or gasp or hold her breath or stay up all night because she can’t put my book down.
The women I write are self-confident, strong, with wills of their own, and hearts as big as the Colorado sky. The men are sublimely sexy, seductive alphas who rise to the challenge of capturing the sweet soul of a woman whose heart they’ll hold in the palm of their hand forever. Add in a couple of neck-snapping twists and turns, a page-turning mystery, and a swoon-worthy HEA, and you’ll be holding one of my books in your hands.
I love to hear from my readers. You can contact me at [email protected].
