Knights, the heart-stoppingly sexy spin-off series by Men of Haven author
Rhenna Morgan
As
an avtoritet for the most powerful crime syndicate in New Orleans, Kir Vasilek
doesn’t act without purpose, doesn’t speak without thought and never, ever
loses his cool. The lives of his brothers, his family, depend on it. But then
Cassie McClintock strolls back into his life, and staying cool is next to
impossible. Cassie was the one who got away—and Kir is willing to break all his
own rules to keep it from happening ever again.
It’s
one thing to report on the Russian mafia; it’s quite another to sleep with one
of them, especially one as dangerous, and as sinfully sexy, as Kir Vasilek.
Even though the information he once provided helped make her career—and the
memory of his touch still keeps her up at night—Cassie knows too much about his
world to go down that path.
But
when Kir reaches out for help after a rival family comes for one of his own,
Cassie doesn’t want to say no, either to investigating a gruesome murder or to
the heat that pulls her right back into his arms…and his heart. Taming Kir—and
helping to save the family she’s come to call her own—is not the story she
thought she’d write, but it’s the one she’s determined will get a happy ending.

HERS TO TAME by Rhenna Morgan Excerpt
“Please take this in the spirit it’s intended, but you
work for a man who’s suspected of leading a growing crime family. I don’t think
me telling you where I live is a good idea.”
“1023 South Franklin Avenue.”
Cassie stopped so hard she wobbled slightly in her
heels. “How did you… I mean, I only just moved in there.”
His smile softened and his words were offered with
gentle deliberateness. “I’m a very thorough man, Cassie. You can’t possibly
think I wouldn’t learn everything I could about a person before I shared
important information with them.”
Very thorough.
Frighteningly so.
She shook the foreboding off and resumed her trek to
the station, albeit on slightly less stable legs. “All the more reason for us
to meet someplace public.”
“All right. Then I’ll pick you up and take you
somewhere.”
“Not necessary.” She checked both ways on the street
and hurried across. “Just tell me where you want to talk, and I’ll meet you
there.”
“I’m afraid my retrieving you and escorting you is
nonnegotiable.”
She frowned at him, but kept going. “You’ve got a lot
of points you won’t negotiate. Tell me why this one’s one of them.”
“Because while I’m very much interested in hearing
what you have to share, I’m not interested in anyone else hearing. The best way
to ensure our privacy is to make sure no one else knows where we’re
going—including you.”
She stopped just six feet from the station’s front
door. “You don’t trust me?”
“Should I?”
Hmm. He did kind of have a point. And given how she’d
stiffed him after their second date, he still might be wondering if she’d
simply used him. “Fine. Pick me up at my place tomorrow at eight. But don’t
pick any place fancy. A coffee shop, or someplace simple. And not Starbucks
either. It’s criminal what they charge for coffee.”
His mouth twitched as if it were all he could do to keep a wisecrack trapped behind his lips.
“You seem determined to expose me to establishments with limited standards.” He
nodded, the picture of gentility and confidence. “I’ll endeavor to pick a
location that suits your expectations.” He held out his hand, palm up. “Until
tomorrow, then.”
He had great hands. Not too smooth like someone
trapped in an office, but a man’s hands. Slightly calloused, with long fingers
and blunt fingertips. Of all the things she’d replayed from their time
together, his touch had been the most frequent. Which was exactly why she’d be
smart to avoid any and all physical contact with him going forward.
Glutton for punishment and well-mannered Texas girl
that she was, she slipped her palm against his.
Oh, yeah.
Still amazing.
Electric and warm. Supercharged and bristling with
promise.
And that was just her hand.
“Thank you again for the dinner. It wasn’t necessary,
but I appreciate it all the same.” Hating the breathiness in her voice, she tried
to release her hand.
Kir held it tight, the pad of his thumb subtly moving
over the tender spot between her thumb and her forefinger. As if he were
remembering other, more intimate places he’d touched her. “I assure you. The
pleasure was all mine.”
He gently released her, turned without the least
amount of hesitation, and strolled toward the parking lot like he didn’t have a
care in the world.
Watching him was something to relish. An indulgence
she didn’t even realize she’d taken until he
stepped off the sidewalk and turned to open the door
to his car.
Great. And now he’s busted you ogling him.
She swung one of the double glass doors open and
strode into the arctic reception area.
“Girl, that dude was hot,” Bonnie said before Cassie’s
eyes could adjust from the blinding sunshine outside. “He your boyfriend?”
“Oh, no.” She set the paper bag on the counter and
shook her head. “Just a contact that helped me out on a few stories a while
back.”
And ruined me for other men, but why
quibble over details?
Bonnie took the bag and opened it, but the look on her
face and her answering chuckle said she didn’t buy a word Cassie’d said.
“Uh-huh. Looked to me like he was plotting how to peel you out of your
professional getup.”
Yeah, it’d felt like that, too. But she wasn’t going
to think about that now. Or ever, if she could help it. “Nope. Just talking
business.” She waved toward the bag and headed back toward the newsroom.
“Good business, or bad business?”
Cassie swung the door to the hallway open and cast
Bonnie one last look. “I haven’t decided yet. Could have been the lottery, or
the biggest wrong turn of my life.”
