Why should she expect it to be any different now?<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s a Grimm\u2014a special kind of guardian angel and official ass-kicker in the paranormal world. Between trying to stay alive, training new Grimm and dealing with demons, romance is hard to come by. Then there\u2019s the fact that there\u2019s only been one man ever who really made her heart race.<\/p>\n<p>And he\u2019s been out of her life for a long, long time\u2026<\/p>\n<p>But now he\u2019s back and just in time.<\/p>\n<p>Greta needs Rip\u2019s help.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an unexpected threat to their world, a betrayal none of them saw coming.<\/p>\n<p>Working together is the last thing they want, but it just might be their only chance.<\/p>\n<p><b>A fairy tale best suited for grown-ups\u2026don\u2019t say you weren\u2019t warned.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Excerpt<\/p>\n<p>Rip was standing in the doorway with one shoulder propped against the door jam. He had a look in his eyes that sent my skin to tingling all over. I mean <em>all<\/em> over\u2014I felt it in my lips, my toes and every square inch in between.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey,\u201d I said. My voice cracked.<\/p>\n<p>He continued to stare at me.<\/p>\n<p>It was very, very unnerving the way he watched me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAhh\u2026is everything okay?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t answer. Nope, what he did was push off the door jam and come over to the bed. He knelt down by the bed, resting one hand on top of the blankets. He had such damn nice hands\u2026the hands of a poet, a warrior\u2026a lover. One of those lovely hands was only an inch away from my thigh too. I thought I could even feel the heat of it, through the blankets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou were dreaming,\u201d Rip said, his voice low and rough.<\/p>\n<p><em>Oh, shit.<\/em> Swallowing, I dredged up an innocent smile. \u201cWas I?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d His eyes, that dark, melted-chocolate gaze, locked on mine and I felt frozen in place. Unable to move as he laid a hand on my cheek and stroked my lower lip with his thumb. \u201cDo you remember it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oh, man, did I remember. But I couldn\u2019t really tell him that, now could I? Self-preservation is a lovely thing, and I looked him dead in the eye and lied. \u201cNope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Self-preservation is a lovely thing, yeah, but it doesn\u2019t make me a better liar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t remember?\u201d He leaned in and nuzzled my neck, his breath teasing across my flesh like a caress. \u201cMaybe I could jog your memory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The hand on my cheek stroked down, over my neck, across my collarbone, down, down. The tips of his fingers brushed against the curve of my breast and I realized I\u2019d dropped the blankets and was sitting there as naked as the day I was born.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m good. No need to jog the memory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou whispered my name,\u201d he murmured, nipping my earlobe. \u201cThen you moaned. You sounded exactly like you did the first time I made you come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/candy-houses\/id1159819147?mt=11\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2eDimGU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"https:\/\/store.kobobooks.com\/en-us\/ebook\/candy-houses-2\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/candy-houses-shiloh-walker\/1018726762?ean=9781625179890\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BN<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/760427\">Smashwords<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you think you know fairy tales?
