Dear Reader,

Take one part bad girl on the run, one part alpha male determined to catch her, add a healthy helping of sexual chemistry and physical danger and you have the makings of this latest Tori Carrington title!

In Guilty Pleasures, former Army Ranger Jonathon Reece is determined to make a name for himself in his new career with private security firm Lazarus, but he has his work cut out for him on his first big solo assignment: bringing in fugitive-from-justice Mara Findlay. The problem? The sexy bad girl outwits him at every turn.

Mara is innocent of the crime of which she’s accused, but why bother explaining that? Instead, she’s going to prove it.

Sex is just sex, isn’t it? Not when it’s the kind you can’t get enough of. And when circumstances allow for both time and opportunity, Mara and Jon take full advantage … until it’s not about just the sex anymore. But during a time when nothing is as it appears, can Mara and Jon trust each other? More important, can they trust what they’re feeling is real?

Here’s wishing you love, romance and HOT reading.

Lori Schlachter Karayianni & Tony Karayianni aka Tori Carrington

JONATHON REECE READ the detailed stat sheet, giving the grainy photos of an attractive brunette in the corner a cursory glance: the one on the right appeared to be a high school senior yearbook shot of Mara Findlay showing a clean-cut girl every guy in class likely panted over; the other was a mug shot of a woman with spiky blond hair and raccoon eyes, more wild animal than girl next door. The two were polar opposites, appearing to have no more connection to one another than a kitten did to a bobcat. He’d known his share of both, drawn more to the former than the latter.
