CLAIMING ALEXIS features
Blake Anderson, who isnβt thrilled he has to work with the younger, and (so he
thinks) spoiled Alexis Grant. But as time goes on, the two find that they have
much more in common than a desire to help others. Just when they are settling
into life as a couple, the case theyβve been working on heats up and Alexis
finds herself smack dab in the middle of a situation she never couldβve imagined.
In the beginning of the book, Alexis starts out as a kind of intern at Ace
Security. In book one, her brother was kidnapped along with the heroine of that
story and Alexis meets the brothers of Ace Security and decides she wants to
know more about the security business. She doesnβt expect to fall head over
heels in love with Blake Andersonβ¦her boss.
She knows itβs not a good idea to date her boss, but when he asks her out, she
literally cannot say no. I could just picture her trying to talk herself out of
dating Blake in her head by making a list of all some of the reasons why dating
her boss is bad news. I would think it would look something like this:
Once youβve seen Blake naked, it will be impossiblenotsee him naked
every time you look at him. (Which wouldnβt be a bad thing, but if the
relationship ends, it could be awkward.)
It might be cute when heβs bossy in the bedroom, but if that bossiness
extends into the work place, it could be very annoying.
You know the saying, absence makes the heart grow fonder? Yeah, well, think
about if you spent almost twenty-four hours a day togetherβ¦not necessarily a
good thing.
Sure, things might be good now, but what happens if he decides he doesnβt
want to see you anymore? He owns the company! Youβd be out of a job and back to
trying to figure out what you want to do with your life!
And what about the performance review? Would he be grading you on how well
you are at the job, or how satisfied he is with your sex life?
Now, of course Alexis ignores her own inner self recriminations and jumps head
first into a relationship with Blakeβ¦because, wellβ¦itβs a romance novel! But
yeah, in real life, dating the boss might not be such a good idea!
Nothing is more important to Blake Anderson than the work he does with his
brothers at Ace Security. At least thatβs what he thinks until he meets the
fiercely independent Alexis Grant. The security firmβs new intern pushes all his
buttonsβand makes his temperature rise. But giving in to temptation might be
risky business.
Alexis can tell that Blake has his doubts about her ability to commit. But while
most people look at her and see only a flighty rich girl, she knows he sees much
more. Determined to prove herself to Blake, Alexis jumps at the chance to work
undercover. And when her case takes a dangerous turn, she puts her trustβand her
heartβin his hands.
Now, as Alexis digs into the deadly secrets of a local gang, Blake will lay
everything on the line to protect the woman heβs come to love.
