Excerpt

Lindsey A light, calloused touch scorches up my side, waking me from sleep. Goose bumps rise from the touch of fingertips and just as I’m about to scramble away, his signature scent hits me with a force of desire and I instantly calm. My shoulders fall and I relax my body back into the hot wall of pure muscle plastered behind me. Feathery kisses trail over my shoulder blade and I quiver at the tingling sensation freezing my body in place. His whiskered jaw prickles my skin, along my shoulder all the way up to my neck. It heightens my senses as lust shoots through my core, and I clutch my pillow, fighting the fire in my belly. I yearn to yank him over me and drive his cock right into me as far as it can go. His hand slides from my waist to my ass and as he squeezes firmly and I can’t help the moan from slipping past my lips. My own sounds of desire echoes through the room much louder than intended, and as soon as it’s left my mouth, Mason spreads his hand over my ass cheek and hip, clutching tightly, and with a quick jerk, he pulls me backwards pressing his jean-clad cock into my ass, rubbing his hardness against me. “Fuck,” he whispers near my ear, his voice breaking. His head leans on my shoulder and I reach back, gliding my shaky hand up his thick firm thigh, over his ass and bringing it up behind me to his head. Pulling at his hair, I angle my head and bring his up closer to mine. We’re nose to nose, body against body, and breathing so rapidly it’s like we’ve both just run a marathon. “We shouldn’t do this.” I whisper, staring into his lust-filled eyes. We both know we shouldn’t. I can’t do it, not now. He wants too much, I don’t want enough. It’s too risky, too dangerous. What if one night ruins it all? What if after, my body and my heart want more? If once isn’t enough, denying him again will be so much harder. His job, my job, if our worlds collide, it’ll be one fucked-up mess we’ll never survive. He shakes his head and rolls swiftly over on top of me, pushing me on my back. “Didn’t plan this when I came in here, Linds. But I sure as fuck don’t want to stop now, not now that I know you want it too.” His lips crash to mine, his tongue searching for an opening. My lips part and his tongue slips inside, caressing my own in one powerful kiss, so gentle and long, so passionate. Pulling him closer, he deepens the connection and his hand trails down, fingering the edge of my panties. “Stop.” I break the moment, panting heavily. “I can’t give you what you want, Mason.” His eyes reach into mine and my heart pumps harder. He wants the unattainable. He scoops the side of my face in his hand, brushing his thumb back and forth. The movement is so intimately sweet that my fingers twitch to cover my own hand with his. He makes resisting him so much harder by simply being him. “You can come up with whatever excuse you want, Lindsey. But that’s all they are, excuses. You’ll run out of them at some stage, and I’ll be here waiting when you do.” I can’t speak. My lips seal shut. Mason rolls off me, enveloping me in his arms as he moves. Spooning me in my bed, I ignore everything else. I shut off my mind, shut out the world. Closing my eyes, I sink into nirvana, hoping to avoid this inconceivable feeling tearing me in two. I’m conflicted by the comfort of his arms: I’ve never felt so safe, yet stripped bare, all at the same time.

REVIEW TOUR ~ EXPOSED (A RUSSKAYA MAFIYA/OATH KEEPERS MC NOVEL) BY SAPPHIRE KNIGHT

Cameron 

I cared about fun. I cared about getting through school and my future with the mafia. That is until I was wrecked by London Layla Traverson’s secret and a grimy biker.

Cain 

I cared about my bike, fighting and my club- The Oath Keepers MC. Well, up until I saw London Layla Traverson’s icy blue eye’s again.

London 

I had to get to Tennessee to help Emily as fast as possible. She was in trouble and I knew what was coming for her. No one had any idea I had a secret of my own. A secret that was big enough to change our lives. Who knew with Cameron and Cain, our secrets would all become Exposed.

You must read SECRETS which is book one to get the full scope of this triangle. This book blew my mind. From page one we see the relationship between London and Cain before she went to help her friend Emily and hooked up with Cameron. London and Cain's relationship was an all consuming kind of love one that actually started in the sixth grade and neither wanted to say anything to the other. When London leaves we see that Cain struggles to move on. Fast forward and you notice that London and Cameron's relationship is slowly falling apart due to the fact that she's not over Cain and he's not ready for a real relationship just sex. Cain pays London a visit and we see that they still love each other but London's secret might be their breaking point. Once her secret is EXPOSED you're taken on a journey so filled with twist and turns that you think you know what happens next and then BOOM the tables are turned. The writing flowed off the pages so flawlessly that you're help captive until the end. This series and these characters wraps you in so much suspense that it leaves you intrigued and anxiously anticipating the next book. Kudos Sapphire for well a told story.

Synopsis

One explosive encounter brought them together. One infatuation led to a love like no other. One secret tore them apart.

As head of the NYPD Organized Crime Control Bureau in Manhattan, Chief Detective Mason Cole walks in the line of fire every day. Between dodging bullets and braiding his daughter’s hair, Mason is tormented with haunting memories that refuse to relinquish control over him, no matter how hard he tries. After a bust gone wrong, he’s thrown for a loop by a woman who will fill his life with more chaos than ever before. Lindsey Jenkins is a self-made woman. Bold and independent, she lives unapologetically in a life of deception. That is until her facade is threatened by a force stronger than anything she’s ever felt before—love. Leaving their hearts unguarded could lead to destruction. Even worse, it could expose them both to a war they never saw coming. In a city coerced by corruption and treachery, what happens when your greatest passion becomes your biggest weakness?

Excerpt

Telling the women to come to the precinct, I can already see the irritation grow in Lindsey. “Why? We had nothing to do with what happened in there.” Hearing Lindsey’s defensive tone riles me up further and I discreetly shift my uncomfortably restrained cock. I interrupt, moving to stand beside my partner, shoulders tall, preparing for further argument from the firecrackers in front of me. “Ladies, while you may not have been intentionally involved in today’s events, you are both now witnesses. Meaning, you need to accompany us down to the precinct so we can get your statements. If all appears to be in order, you’ll then be free to leave.” Almost immediately I feel the agitation directed at Roam shift, radiating my way instead. I meet Lindsey’s glare with the same intensity, and she never falters, not once. She doesn’t cower like most people do when on the receiving end of my frustration. She stiffens, but remains steady, a powerhouse of determination and strength. The silent conversation passing between us lets me know exactly the kind of woman I’m dealing with. The female version of myself. Lindsey turns away and sighs, her shoulders dropping. But as she clears her throat and faces me once again, that fiery attitude holds strong through the depths of her gaze. I can’t help a smirk from breaking out. The satisfying feeling that I might actually be getting under her skin overtakes my professionalism. Forgetting all about Roamyn or Alison, I get in her space; close enough to smell the scent I’m craving so badly. “Or, Miss Jenkins, I can cuff you and make you come in anyway,” I whisper softly and shove my hands in the pockets of my pants, restraining myself from reaching out to her. Lindsey’s tongue darts out and she licks her lips, causing all the blood to flow straight from my brain and to my cock. Her muscles lose tension and her eyes soften, I take it my message was received. Good. If we were in another place, a casual situation, a different time, maybe for just one night I could revel in the warmth of this beautiful woman and for a moment, obliterate the nightmares hijacking my life. Mirroring my action, Lindsey leans in and I do my best to hide the shiver of pleasure being in her presence brings. “You’re enjoying this aren’t you, Detective?” She peers up, radiating confidence, as if she’s got one over me. She crosses her arms over her chest, accentuating her tits, which I’m sure is supposed to distract me but it doesn’t. Instead I scowl at her. With my head tilted to the side I hold her stare, too mesmerized by her approach, confused by the sentiment. Damn, I thought I had her. “I—” “You know, I’ve met a lot of men just like you. I’ve never been interested in arrogant assholes before and I sure as hell am not interested now. So either you show us to the precinct so we can give our damn statements and go home, or I’ll kindly ask your partner here”—Lindsey smiles at Roam—“Detective Miller, is it?” “Yes, ma’am.” The bastard grins, nodding eagerly. “Right. I’ll ask Detective Miller if he could show us the way.” She tilts her head inquisitively as she speaks, stirring every raw nerve in my body; her tone sweet, yet full of sarcasm. “Well that escalated quickly,” Alison quips, breaking the tension building so quickly around us. Roam chuckles beside me and I just know he’ll be mocking me about Lindsey’s smartass attitude later. Reaching around to grab her sister’s side, Lindsey envelopes Alison and whispers, “Come on, babe. Let’s get this over with.” That day our worlds collided with a violent crash, the impact stronger than either of us could have ever imagined. We didn’t realize until the damage was done and we had more than just broken bones.

BLOG TOUR ~ RELINQUISH (A RUSSKAYA MAFIYA/ OATH KEEPERS MC NOVEL) BY SAPPHIRE KNIGHT

Free bird- He calls me free bird, yet I’m not the one who’s free. At least not as free as he is. He’s covered in tattoos, roaring down a Texas highway, and living life. I sit here, pondering what my life could be. It was only supposed to be fun, a few casual hook-ups. I’m Avery, flustered Barista- looking for a diversion. I’m not like the others. I’m not ready to give-in and accept my fate.

2- I didn’t have a clue that the pull would be so strong. To concede, or relent, to just submit to my feelings for her. She came looking for me, when I had no idea I wanted to be found. She’s so strong, it’s mesmerizing, but I’m not the only one who notices. Just when it hits me of what’s right in front of me, waiting, things turn chaotic. I’m 2 Piece, a stubborn member of the Oath Keepers MC. You think you know me because I’m a typical biker? You don’t have a clue. Together, this is our story. Can we relinquish and submit to our hearts?

I. LOVED. THIS. BOOK. SOMETHING. FIERCE. I can't even tell you how much this book has affected me. I had the biggest smile on my face the entire way through. If you are a fan of the AWESOME Sapphire, then you know it's the third installment of what is turning into one of my TOP series.

This is the story of 2 piece and Avery characters we met in the previous books and know that they hooked up, but didn't know what would come of it. 2 was never one to settle down but after one taste of the tempting Avery left an indelible impression on him. Avery had no qualms about just having fun with the men in her life but something about 2 kept her intrigued and wanting more. From the first page until the last the writing is superb and with a plot that you wouldn't have expected this page turner is captivating. The secondary characters add layers and layers leaving you anxiously awaiting their story and touched that you got to catch up with the ones you call old friends. I've never been so giddy about starting a book before. It gave me just what I needed, when I needed it, a beautiful break from reality. Thank you so much, Sapphire Knight, for creating these wonderful and fascinating people that capture your heart and not let it go.
