ONE WRONG MOVE

Romance Erotica Sensual | Romance Suspense

Nina works very hard at making herself invisible. She wears plain, baggy clothes; pulls her hair back in an unflattering style; wears big glasses; doesn't put on any makeup; and just basically blends right into the background. She's had a hard life and learned early on that it's easier to get by if you don't draw attention to yourself. Today she works as a social worker and helps women get out of abusive relationships and start over.

Alex Aaro is a seriously bad dude. He works in cyber security, hacking into companies computer systems so they can pinpoint the weaknesses before criminals can take advantage. But he's just as comfortable with a gun as he is with a keyboard.

When Nina is attacked on the street in New York, her best friend calls on her husband's old military friend Alex to come to Nina's aid. Alex is reluctant to get involved, but guilt is a powerful tool and he is soon drawn in and neck deep Nina's problems. Nina and Alex find themselves caught up in an incredible tale that includes mad scientists, drugs to increase psychic powers, kidnapping, and political intrigue. And the whole time, there is an incredible bond and attraction growing ever stronger between the two. Alex, a sworn bachelor, finds himself constantly thinking of a life with Nina by his side. And Nina, who has seen time and again that men are not to be trusted, finds herself trusting Alex without a second thought.

ONE WRONG MOVE is a thrilling, romantic adventure. The plot was fantastic, with a lot of twists & turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. I really enjoyed the psychic elements of the story. I also thought the character development was very good with this story. Alex is a very well written bad boy -- so much depth and anguish, and yet so lovable! And Nina was so incredibly strong and delicate at the same time! A must read!

SUMMARY

Alex Aaro has spent most of his life on the run from his Ukrainian mafia family. But when he learns that crazy Aunt Tonya, the only relative who ever gave a damn about him, is dying, he risks returning home to say goodbye. He's prepared for anything except the call from his friend, Bruno Ranieri, that sends him on a wild and dangerous ride with a mysterious woman who holds a deadly secret and a white hot passion that binds them together. Social worker Nina Christie has no idea how much trouble she's in when her Aunt Helga shows up bleeding at her shelter, babbling in Ukrainian--and with one inexplicable act thrusts Nina into the heart of a nightmare. Now a ruthless crime syndicate will stop at nothing to make Nina disappear, and only Alex Aaro, that inscrutable six-foot-four rock hard slab of lean muscle, stands between her and certain death. Now Nina and Alex are in a race against time, death, and their desire for one another. . .
