The wet sheet slipped slowly from her face and she began to count. There were eleven, in all. She was last in line, but he was getting closer. He'd be to her soon... As though stumbling out of a nightmare, rookie cop Alex Kincaid awakens in her car, dazed and confused. Parked on an unfamiliar street, she's outside an unfamiliar home with no recollection of how she got there, and no memory of the night before. Then her nightmare becomes reality. Alex's first call of the day takes her to the same street, to the same house, where a man has been brutally killed. Alex thinks the man is a perfect stranger-until she finds herself the main suspect in his murder. And now, as she races to clear her name, she's haunted by memories of a horrific thirty-year-old crime-a crime that links her to the dead man...and marks her as the killer's next target.

Black … Please, call me Richard. I'm normally a level-headed billionaire tech mogul, but the world is off-kilter. I'm going out of my ever loving mind, and it's all because of her. Jaclyn Long. Beauty and brains. And the heart of my new obsession. She doesn't remember the first time we met. It's better that way. I mean, if you ask the media, or pretty much anyone at all, I'm not exactly "boyfriend material." More like the King of the A-holes according to Jaclyn. That's a direct quote. And if she knew who I was, there's no way she'd let me get close. Slide in, so to speak. She'd never date me. Or kiss me. Hell, I'd be lucky if she didn't kick me in the nuts and run for the hills. But there's one small problem ... I'm a man on a mission. And that mission is to get as close to that star-on-the-rise CEO as I can. In a way that she won't see me coming... Full Steam Ahead.

He closed the distance between them, and held her arms. "You hate me? Show me how much you hate me," he growled, pulling her even closer.The adrenaline rushing through her body picked up even more."Come on. Prove it to me," he whispered the challenge against her mouth before kissing her hard.She bit him. Not the gentle bite that she often used to drive him crazy. But a punishing bite, hard enough for her to taste the metallic tang of his blood.He didn't flinch, and neither did he release the hold on her. She felt a strange combination of blood-lust, and another more familiar kind of lust coursing through her veins. But, before it consumed her completely, she shoved him away hard.With blood tricking down his lip, he watched her with an intensity that made the blood roar in her ears, making it deafening, muting any reason or sense that would stop the madness from taking over her.He wiped his bloody lip with his thumb and smirked. "I'm glad you had no one to take care of your pent up aggression. You are more than welcome to take it out on me tonight."Listening to his taunting words, she lost it completely. She attacked him like an animal. Baring her teeth and nails, she literally jumped towards him. But he was ready for her. He wrapped both his arms around her possessively, crushing her close until she could barely move.And then, he kissed her again.
