by J. C. Cliff
My eyes and ears are on high alert for anything that might clue me in to her whereabouts, but, of course, that’s hard to do when your heart is beating loudly in your ears, along with my heavy weight snapping twigs and crunching leaves underfoot. I’m really relying on Kimber’s awesome nose. I have no choice, and as fast as we’re going, my peripheral vision is a blur.
It’s times like these that I’m thankful for keeping my body in tiptop shape. Of course with the amount of adrenaline circulating through me right now, I feel like I could run a marathon. There’s no way, she could’ve run for any length of time, not with her backpack on, so I’m hoping we’re getting close.
I think we’ve been darting and skirting around trees and shrubs for almost five minutes before I hear a loud, piercing scream filtering through the forest trees. It's the kind of scream that echoes in my head, and sends chills down my spine. That’s Lexi wailing; I’d know those vocal cords anywhere. My pace picks up as does my heart rate.
I hear her scream again, and I'm almost frantic inside. I've never lost my shit during any of my missions. I've always been cool-headed, but this is Lexi, and she's my woman. Her scream is not like when she encounters a bug, or even a snake. This is a bone-chilling scream, expressing extreme distress and fear. At this point, I can’t seem to get to her fast enough, but I know Kimber is hot on her trail, because when Lexi screams for a third time, it’s much closer. I see a light flickering through the leaves of the trees, and I freeze when I realize she’s not alone. I hear a deep voice yell out into the thick of the night, with a harshness that makes even me shudder, “Shut the fuck up, bitch.” A resounding slap follows, and I know she's been struck hard. I'm close enough to hear her respond in a whimper-cry of torment and despair. She's in serious danger, and there's no telling how much or what she's already suffered. I die a little on the inside, praying I'm not too late.
What would be a true J.C. Cliff novel if I didn’t leave you hanging on a Cliff?
I have to live up to my name after all.
Please take a moment and leave a review. I’d love you for it.

Bestselling Author of The Blyss Trilogy by J.C. Cliff
Most reviewers say: Wow!!! I can't believe I waited so long to read this book, it's hot steamy and an emotional rollercoaster all rolled into one book...A very Complex and original plot! ~ By Rachel Bound by Books.
Two sexy, ruthless men...one innocent female caught in the middle. Sexual tension, danger and intrigue will keep you on your toes! The Blyss Trilogy is part of a carefully orchestrated, organized game, and is driven by much bigger and darker forces.
Blyss is something the world has been trying to create since the beginning of time, the ultimate aphrodisiac, a drug used against women with one single purpose in mind....

Thank you for being the most awesome sounding boards and providing me with your support. This book was one of the toughest for me to write and I think it was because I struggled with trying NOT to write a dark and edgy book. And we all know how that worked out, didn’t we? Thank you for putting up with the ten zillion changes.
