THEIRS TO CHERISH

Romance Erotica Sensual

Two men who hate each other and one woman who loves them both. What will they do when she runs away from them and into danger? THEIRS TO CHERISH introduces us to Callie, Thorpe and Sean. Thorpe and Sean only have one thing in common and that is Callie. As much as each man hates the other when Callie's safety comes into question the two must find a way to work together. Can their love for Callie override their hate? Callie has been on the run and hiding for years but when she found Thorpe she found a safe place and now Sean has added to that safety but Callie has suddenly found that she must run from the one place she felt at home.

Love plays a prominent role in this story. Along with her submission Callie has also given both Sean and Thorpe her heart. She loves both men and does not know how to live with just one. The two men work well together and when you add in Callie the relationship burns hotter than you can imagine. I enjoyed meeting Callie but Thorpe and Sean were not my favorites. Thorpe is too much of a controlling jerk for me. He does seem to redeem himself a bit at times but in the end I still could not like him. Sean seems to be wonderful but he is just too perfect for me. He loves Callie so much and does whatever it takes to keep her which makes him a great catch to me but he just seemed too perfect. Yet when the three come together they are wonderful. Thorpe and Sean work well together as Doms for Callie. They never fight for control as their only wish is to see Callie happy. The love that they share is evident in all that the three do. Much of this book centered around the three coming to terms with their feelings and figuring out why someone wants Callie. While this story is not my favorite I will continue to look for one from this author.

SUMMARY

The perfect place for a woman on the run to disappear…

Accused of a horrific murder she didn’t commit, former heiress Callie Ward has been a fugitive since she was sixteenβ€”until she found the perfect hideout, Club Dominion. The only problem is she’s fallen for the club’s master, Mitchell Thorpe, who keeps her at arm’s length. Little does she know that his reasons for not getting involved have everything to do with his wounded heart…and his consuming desire for her.

To live out her wildest fantasies…

Enter Sean Kirkpatrick, a Dom who’s recently come to Dominion and taken a pointed interest in Callie. Hoping to make Thorpe jealous, she submits to Sean one shuddering sigh at a time. It isn’t long before she realizes she’s falling for him too. But the tender lover who’s seducing her body and slowly earning her trust isn’t who he claims...

And to fall in love.

When emotions collide and truths are exposed, Sean is willing to risk all to keep Callie from slipping through his fingers. But he’s not the only man looking to stake a claim. Now Callie is torn between Sean and Thorpe, and though she’s unsure whom she can trust, she’ll have to surrender her body and soul to bothβ€”if she wants to elude a killer…
