Favorite Title
Why Taken by Surprise stands out above the rest
Taken BySurprise is book 7 of The Heroes of Silver Springs series available at
Siren-BookStrand. The hero, Michael Cosmos, and heroine, Rhonda Ramsey, were
first introduced into the series in book 3, Stormy Nights. They played minor
subplot roles in books 4, 5, and 6 and snagged a big piece of my heart through
their journey to their happy ending. Set in both Cambodia and Silver Springs,
MS, Taken By Surprise is the most action-packed book of the series so far. I'm
often asked which of my characters have the most of me in their personalities.
My answer is always Rhonda. She came into my imagination at a time when I was
struggling with some of the same issues she goes through in books 3-7. We
traveled the road together and, miraculously found happiness with a new
love at almost the same time, too.

For a man who
vowed never to fall in love, how can it be possible FBI agent Cameron Stone
managed to fall twice? Hot on the trail of a missing fellow agent, Cameron
finds himself in Silver Springs, hometown of DEA agent Adrien Bingham and
Firefighter Thaddeus Carter, and the last place Cameron needs to be. When
emotions run wild and attraction explodes, can the self-proclaimed playboy hold
onto his resistance?
Adrien never
intended to fall for Cameron. Too bad his heart wouldn’t listen. Then Thaddeus
walked into his life and his heart ended up on a train wreck of confusion.
Thaddeus knew
Adrien’s heart already belonged to someone, but that didn’t stop his pursuit.
When he meets Cameron, he realizes the man is the one standing in his way. But
when his own attraction to Cameron detonates, he’s left in a hell of a mess.
Excerpt
for Featured Title
He
hadn’t spent as many nights on the phone with Cameron as he knew Adrien
had over the years, but the nights that he had since he had returned to
Waterston coupled with the memories of actually being with Cameron had
been enough to etch a place in Thaddeus’s mind and heart.
“He might, but…”
“But?” Thaddeus prompted when Adrien trailed off.
Adrien made a face. “I don’t know what I would say, what I should say?”
Thaddeus angled his head. “Because you still want both of us?”
“Yes.” Adrien threw his head back and made a sound of part lunacy and part mystification. “God, it’s crazy, but yes.”
“What
makes it crazy is that I understand.” The moment he had met Cameron,
the instant he had realized that Cameron was the other man in Adrien’s
life, he had understood. He had immediately comprehended why Adrien had
been so fucked up over Cameron the last couple of years, especially
when, in the end, Thaddeus found himself in the same awkward position.
“Because you feel it, too. You want it, too. Don’t you?”
“Yeah.”
Thaddeus moved his hand from Adrien’s shoulder, danced his fingertips
along the side of Adrien’s neck, and cupped Adrien’s nape. “I love you.”
Adrien’s quick intake of breath didn’t surprise him. He had felt that
way for a long time, had even admitted it to Cameron, but he had never
said the words to Adrien. “But there’s something about Cameron. I don’t
know. I can’t explain it, but he pulls at my heartstrings, too, just
like I know he’s always done with you. The question is, what do we do
about it?”
Adrien
swallowed, his gaze dropping to Thaddeus’s mouth. Thaddeus pressed his
body against Adrien’s and barely kept himself from closing his eyes as
the sensation of Adrien’s solid warmth invaded his system.
“I
don’t know.” Adrien’s breath fanned Thaddeus’s mouth as he dipped his
head down, stopping his lips a scant inch from Thaddeus’s. “Every time I
think I do, something changes.”
Thaddeus
couldn’t help himself. He couldn’t stop. He kissed Adrien, the lightest
brush of his lips to Adrien’s at first. Then Adrien’s lips parted on a
sigh and Thaddeus took it for the invitation he hoped it was. He slipped
his tongue inside Adrien’s mouth, tangled it with Adrien’s, and, God, this was what he had been craving for so very long.
Adrien’s
hands slid around Thaddeus’s waist, wrapped around his back, and he
pulled Thaddeus so tightly against him even oxygen had trouble getting
between them. Adrien angled his head, taking the kiss deeper, and
Thaddeus lost himself in Adrien’s taste, in the euphoria of being in the
man’s arms again.
“Geezus,
I’ve missed this,” Adrien confessed as he wrenched his mouth from
Thaddeus’s. “Holding you, kissing you, being with you.”
Making love to you? Say it, Adrien. Jesus God, please let him say it.
If
he did, there was no way Thaddeus would be able to walk away from him
tonight until they made love. As he stared into Adrien’s eyes, he knew
the other man was thinking it. He felt Adrien’s rigid cock pressing
insistently against his lower gut, felt the desire to continue what they
had just started pumping off Adrien in waves of heated torment.
“I’ve
missed it, too,” Thaddeus whispered. “Let’s not go so long from now on,
okay. Unless you decide Cam is the only one you want to be with.”
Adrien
rested his forehead against Thaddeus and didn’t say anything for
several long heartbeats. “Nothing will happen tonight. I want you to
know that. Nothing will happen between me and Cameron when I get home.”
“Maybe
it should.” Thaddeus couldn’t believe what he was saying. Except, the
suggestion seemed to make a super weird kind of sense. It felt oddly
right.
“Are you telling me to go home and fuck Cameron tonight?” Sheer disbelief rang in Adrien’s tone.
Thaddeus
wouldn’t have put it that crudely. Make love to Cameron would have been
his word choice. He didn’t know for certain that Adrien was in love
with Cameron, but he knew the other man’s feelings for Cameron ran
pretty deep. Hell, his own feelings for Cameron teetered on the edge of
falling head over tennis shoes for Cameron and he already knew he loved
Adrien.
“I’m
telling you to go with what feels right when you get home.” Thaddeus
toyed with the back of Adrien’s hair as he spoke, loving the way the
silky strands glided through his fingers. “If he’s still awake, talk to
him, tell him whatever you want and see where it goes. You’ve had sex
with me. To the best of my knowledge, you never have with Cameron.”
“I haven’t.”
“Maybe you should, babe.” Thaddeus lifted a shoulder. “Maybe it will help to sort things out in your head.”
“And
you would be okay with that?” Adrien sounded baffled. “Not saying I
will, but you would be okay with knowing that you have spent the last
three plus hours getting me all hot and bothered and then sent me home
to have sex with another man.”
“Not
just any other man. Cameron. The man who has us both in knots.”
Thaddeus pointed out. “You’ve already said, in so many words, that you
aren’t planning on going home with me.”
“I
could never do that to you, have sex with Cameron after being here with
you tonight.” Adrien’s eyes filled with so much sincerity, so much love
that Thaddeus found it hard to keep up the conversation.
“I’m
just telling you that if you do, I’m fine with it. I’ll be jealous as
shit,” he added quickly, brightly, trying to lighten the mood. “But I’m
okay with it.”
“Jealous of whom? Me? Or Cameron?”
“God, baby.” Thaddeus chuckled. “You really know how to ask the mother of all questions, don’t you?”
Adrien lips unfolded in a smile that was both amused and understanding. “You don’t have to answer. I already know.”
