Caught between desire and loyalty…
Derek DiMarzio would
do anything for the members of his disgraced Special Forces team—sacrifice his
body, help a former teammate with a covert operation to restore their honor,
and even go behind enemy lines. He just never expected to want the beautiful
woman he found there.
When a sexy stranger
asks questions about her brother, Emilie Garza is torn between loyalty to the
brother she once idolized and fear of the war-changed man he's become. Derek’s
easy smile and quiet strength tempt Emilie to open up, igniting the desire
between them and leading Derek to crave a woman he shouldn’t trust.
As the team’s investigation reveals how powerful their enemies are, Derek and Emilie must prove where their loyalties lie before hearts are broken and lives are lost. Because love is too hard to come by to let slip away…

Praise for Hard to Come By:
"Rough
sex and explosive fights power Kaye's third Hard Ink novel, a thrilling
adventure that feels more like an action movie with a romantic subplot than a
typical contemporary romance. New readers will head straight for Kaye's
backlist after powering through this installment." ~Publishers Weekly Starred
Review
"TOP PICK! If you're looking for danger, gritty action, and sizzling passion, then Kaye has just the book and the series for you." ~RT Book Reviews Magazine
EXCERPT:
Derek smiled, walked up
to the bed, and leaned over her, his hands on each side of Emilie’s head.
“Mmm, I like this view,”
she said, his proximity and the position stirring her blood.
“Me, above you?” he
asked, heat slipping into his dark gaze. Emilie nodded, and Derek’s eyes
narrowed. “What else do you like?”
Her stomach went on a
loop-the-loop. “The way you talked to me. Against the window.”
Derek pushed his hips
between her thighs and slowly rocked against her core. “You’re very inspiring,”
he said, humor sliding in behind the heat in his eyes.
She didn’t want to ruin
the mood, but she needed to check. “Does your leg hurt too much for this?”
A quick kiss. “No, but if
it does, we’ll find a position that puts less stress on it.” He waggled his
eyebrows.
“Yeah? Well, in that
case, am I inspiring you right now?” she asked, arching a brow. She loved how
free she felt with him to say whatever came to mind.
One at a time, his hands
manacled her wrists against the bed. “Definitely.” He circled the bulge in his
jeans against her clit, although the tightness of her skirt kept him from
getting as close as she needed him.
Her heartbeat took off at
the promise of his touch. “Derek,” she whispered, wriggling her fingers. God,
she wanted to pull her skirt out of the way.
“What, Em? What do you
need?” His gaze bore into hers and scorched the blood running through her
veins.
“You.” She lifted her
feet up onto the edge of the bed and spread her thighs wide—and almost cheered
when the movement drew up her skirt and increased his access to her.
“My touch?” he asked,
rocking into her.
“Yeah,” she said, lifting
her hips to meet his thrust.
“My mouth?”
Given how amazingly he
kissed, she could only imagine the skill with which he could apply his lips and
tongue elsewhere. “Yes.”
“My cock?”
“Please,” she whispered.
Derek released her, slid
back off the bed, and pulled her to her feet. Her clothes were off before she’d
realized what was happening. His eyes absolutely blazed as they looked over her
body, drinking in the lacy black push-up bra and thong she still wore. “Take
them off,” he said, rubbing his lips. “Slowly.”
