Mayhem's Desire — Lindsay Cross

His traumatic past has left him dark… and longing for love. Hicks thinks good and evil comes in black and white. No blurred lines, no grey areas. After being subjected to a horrific experiment that's left him damaged as a super soldier, Hicks seeks comfort from his torment in reliability. He's got clear rules on morality and isn't willing to break them. Until her. Whitney is a seductress. Secretly working for a Senator as a mistress, she puts on leather outfits and a mask of sensuality to bend men to her will -- though the money she makes doing so isn't to save her, but others. Whitney believes she's past saving, and that love is a silly dream. Then he enters her life. Hicks is sickened by what he thinks Whitney is -- and undeniably attracted to her. After Whitney's life is threatened in a violent murder attempt, Hicks calls in his team. Whitney is the target of a government operation, and unless Hicks can discover who's behind it, Whitney's life is forfeit. But the mission isn't the only thing on Hicks' mind. Whitney and Hicks can't keep their hands off each other… but they can't stand each other, either. Whitney isn't the innocent woman Hicks thought, and Hicks isn't the strong hero Whitney's looking for. But together, the heat of their romance and the passion of their love cannot be stopped. Can Hicks rescue Whitney from a tragic end? Or will the lovers lose everything against incredible odds? Equal parts sexy and suspenseful, Mayhem's Desire is the second installment in an action-packed love story women of all ages will enjoy. Award winning author Lindsay Cross brings readers a hot romp of military men and strong heroines in Operation Mayhem, a romance saga of cinematic proportions.
