MINE TO CRAVE continues close to where the previous book of
the series, Mine To Hold left off. Drake Archer has gone
home to his Casino holdings in Las Vegas after the
marriages of his two closest friends, Trace Weston and Noah
York. These three men have fought together both in the past
and more recently to save the lovers of Trace and Noah.
Drake however, is an aloof man; prone to use women and toss
them aside after being burned in love by a devious lover
years before. He doesn't understand the love his two
friends have found.
A mysterious woman named Jasmine Bennett enters Drake's
casino one night, and piques his interest. After taking
Jasmine to his private office for some alone time, they are
interrupted by alarms going off in the casino. Drake leaves
Jasmine alone in his office, where she proceeds to go
through his desk and computer. When Drake discovers what
Jasmine has done, he holds her until he can find out what
she is looking for and who she is actually looking for. He
suspects it is one of his closest business rivals, but
cannot prove it until he gets the close-mouthed Jasmine to
talk.
It is not long before the intrigue surrounding Jasmine
turns to danger for both of them. Jasmine is being chased
by both a Bounty Hunter and the FBI, and the business rival
she is working for wants Jasmine gone now that she is no
longer of any use to him. This rival wants Drake gone also;
and goes to great lengths to try to eliminate both of them.
This incenses Drake, and he vows to put the rival down like
a dog and get rid of him and his threats once and for all.
Even though Jasmine has continually lied to him; Drake is
quickly becoming obsessed with her. He doesn't trust
Jasmine, but he cannot let her go. His desire for her makes
him want to keep her close at hand. Drake soon finds out
that some of her deepest secrets tie in very closely with
one of his best friends. As danger surrounds them, they
begin to find that there might be more between them than
either bargained for.
MINE TO CRAVE is the fourth installment in Cynthia Eden's
popular Mine Romantic Suspense series, and continues
in
the same sizzling vein of its predecessors. Each story is a
dark and sexy look into the lives and loves of a
mysterious, dominant, and very rich man. Although part of a
series, and the couples from previous books are mentioned;
the stories can easily be read standalone. MINE TO CRAVE is
an intriguing story, and is a recommended read for fans of
edgy Romantic Suspense.
From the moment that billionaire casino owner Drake
Archer sees Jasmine Bennett, he's obsessed. Consumed by
desire for the mysterious redhead, Drake will do anything
necessary to claim her. Yet as desire rages between them,
danger is stalking ever closer. Drake's past isn't dead, and
the ex-Special Forces agent will soon have to face the
ghosts he left behind.
SHE'S HIDING SECRETS.
Jasmine isn't who she pretends to be. She's a woman on a
mission—and she's supposed to be stealing secrets from
the mysterious Drake. Falling for him isn't on her agenda,
but when lust and love tangle together, all the rules get
broken.
AN ENEMY IS CLOSING IN...
When Drake learns of Jasmine's betrayal...all hell breaks
loose. He knows that he should turn his back on her, but
it's too late for him. He can't let her go, but he can teach
her a lesson. No one betrays him...not without paying a
heavy price. Drake will destroy all of the enemies on his
trail, he'll bury his past, and he'll teach Jasmine to want
only him...just as much as he craves her.
