“Ms. Professional,” he said as he looked me up and down. A hint of hunger lingered in his eyes as he studied me intently. He licked his lips, and I didn’t move from under his stare. I looked at him, letting him know I wouldn’t back down from him. My barriers, my walls, were not coming down. Plus, what was wrong with how I dressed? It was professional and didn’t get me any unwanted attention.

“You know nothing about me.” He seemed like a man who hid behind humor and his big gun who had the occasional on point observation. He’d been right about me being professional and it pissed me off. Because no matter how I tried to shake the way my body responded to his dazzling eyes and the way he kept touching his gun, I couldn’t help but wonder how big his gun really was. Snap out of it, Avery. I took my hand and smoothed out my shirt again. Who did he think he was? I barely knew him, and he thought he knew me so well. Sure, he was hot. He dripped testosterone and exuded sex with every move of his mouth. And that little bump on his nose was endearing. He had probably broken his nose a few times, and I secretly wondered what had caused the breaks. But regardless of how fucking delicious he was, he didn’t know me.

“I know that you’re impenetrable. Like an unbreakable vault.” He was right. I was impermeable. He would do well to remember that. It didn’t mean I had to like that he’d guessed that about me.

“Yes, well, you’re a jerk.” Wow, great comeback, Avery. It wasn’t like me to lose control and this guy, he was already under my skin. I was flustered, sweat beaded on my forehead, and I was pretty sure I needed to change my panties.

“Ouch.” He grabbed at his heart. “Here.” He went in his breast pocket and pulled out a card. “My information. Strictly professional of course.” He winked at me and gave me a smile, his perfectly straight teeth dazzling me.

“Thanks,” I mumbled, snatching the card and shoving it in my pocket.

“See ya, Grant.” He waved as he called out, walking away to join his partner.

Praise For Gen

“This was a rare magical unicorn moment in which the sequel rivals the first in my mind of best books. This book was so friggin amazing I wish I had a time machine to go back and read it for the first time over and over again. This is a sequel but you definitely don't have to read the first in order to understand anything. Though in my honest opinion I recommend doing it because Gen Ryan is brilliant and the characters you get a bit more of a look at them. Plus the first one was amazeballs so you won't be disappointed getting both books. Oh no my friends quite the opposite, you're going to LOVE both books and you need them in your life.

This book is told in a four person POV. Which isn't as confusing as it may seem, I actually really liked it. There were intense crazy moments, mixed with an amazing romance between Evan and Avery. I can't praise this book enough, grab your copy today!”
