      Dear Reader,

      After the Love Bites anthology was released with my story “Love Unleashed,” about Evan Carlisle and his love, Cinder Bratt, many of you wrote to me asking about Evan’s brother, Brick. Yes, Brick. What a name, right?

      Well, now you get to find out how he got that name, and so much more! I very much hope you enjoy his consuming romance. I found it lots of fun to write.

      If you haven’t yet read Love Bites, rest assured each story stands alone. It’s just a matter of which brother you meet first.

      You can always see related books, their covers and a brief description of how they’re related on my website under the “Connected Books” link.

      Happy reading!

      CHAPTER ONE

      RUMOR HAD IT, she was a virgin. As in, had never had sex.

      Ever.

      Looking at her now, Brendan Carlisle—Brick to those who knew him well—found that hard to believe.

      Young, sure.

      But not so young she hadn’t had time and opportunity to get busy. He figured her to be in her mid-twenties, which would put her at a few years younger than him. Plenty old enough for just about anything. Actually, for everything. Like all those things now crowding his brain and making him twitchy.

      Shifting in the booth seat, Brick settled back a little more and continued to study her.

      Sweet? Oh, yeah, she was super sweet. Just look at that smile. And the dimples in her velvety cheeks were so damned cute. He’d almost swear her big green eyes sparkled as she spoke to customers and took orders. Polite but engaging. And yeah, really, really sweet.

      But sweet enough to remain untouched? Pfft. He’d known plenty of sweet women who loved sex. Sometimes they dragged him off to the bedroom. He’d always adored sexually aggressive women. It was a big turn-on.

      But the idea of sexual innocence teased him. СКАЧАТЬ
