COME HELL OR HIGH DESIRE BCC:

Torn between dangerous desires…
 
Framed for a series of brutal murders, rebel-turned-CEO Zack Goldman must go to ground. When he discovers that sexy boutique owner Sloane Swift has a shocking gift—terrifying visions that connect her to his mentor’s missing daughter—he can’t believe her refusal to help him. Nor can he believe he’s actually falling for the frustrating woman.
Their chemistry will either find its perfect equation…
 
Helping an accused killer ranks low on Sloane’s to-do list, no matter how hot the attraction burns between them. But putting to rest her overwhelming guilt over the missing woman’s fate proves more difficult than she ever imagined...that is, until her heart and conscience begin to align.

…or detonate everything in its path.
As the real killer locks in on Sloane, Zack will stop at nothing to keep her safe. And as they earn each other’s trust—with danger in hot pursuit—they may just lose their hearts in the process…

Excerpt:

COME HELL OR HIGH DESIRE

            He said nothing, staring into her eyes, watching, marveling, at the drama of emotions shaping her features while she replayed the vision in her mind. One of her hands scraped across his thigh as it fell to the sofa and desire sparked in her eyes.

            He smothered a groan. Damn. Her touch was tinder to his dry wood. His fingers dug into the textured linen sofa to stop himself from touching her. He closed his eyes, needing to hide, feeling desperate and completely out of his element.

            She was holding her breath, he realized. They both were. Powder kegs. His eyes snapped open. The tip of her tongue darted out to moisten her lips, and his shoulders ached with the effort to hold still.           

            “Zack?” Her hesitancy calmed him enough so he could slam the door on an erotic visual of easing those teensy shorts down her endless legs. What a dick. As much as he felt like one, he wasn’t an animal.

            She stood up and laughed shyly. Cute. As. Hell.

            “That was really something, huh?” She brushed her hands down her hips. An enticing little gesture. “Anchored together in a vision like that is incredibly…intimate. I’ve never shared one before, so I guess we’re sorta bonded. A little. Maybe.”

            Bondage. She wasn’t helping to ease his lust haze at all. “Oh great, vision virgins.”

            “Not anymore.” Her laughter bubbled up again. He leaned back against the sofa and laced his fingers behind his head, resigning himself to a habitual hard on. “So what did you see?”

            She bit her lip, and he nearly lost his no-touching resolve at the quiet appeal in her eyes.

            So she feels it, too.

Misty Dietz Bio:

Misty's love affair with words started in middle school when she penned dark stories set in exotic locales she knew nothing about. In college, her boy-angst spilled over into disturbing reams of poetry. After grad school, real life hit, and the writing went into hibernation until she found her own happily-ever-after with an ultra linear man who is the long-suffering counter-balance to her zig-zagging tendencies. Now, she spends her days writing emotionally complex, adrenaline-fueled stories, teaching Zumba, enjoying her family and friends, and praying her children don't come home with math homework.
