Explosive
Desire (Love With a Price, #4)
Thank
you so much for having me on your blog, Lily. I’m very excited to share Explosive
Desire with your readers. Although it is book four in my Love With a Price
series, all of my books are written so they can be enjoyed as stand-alone
novels, so even if you haven’t read the previous books, don’t let that deter
you. Luke Price is my hottest hero yet, and this is the first book in my Love
With a Price series that is a suspense!
Blurb
A stalker has set his sights on Harper and will stop at nothing to make her his…
Finding love is the last thing on Luke Price’s mind as he leads his construction crew to complete the new wing of Oakville Hospital. But he can’t deny his feelings when Dr. Harper Love walks into his life. Lacking the sociability of his younger siblings, Luke doesn’t think a woman like Harper would ever want an introvert like him. But he puts his skepticism on hold when he discovers that Harper has become the victim of a stalker. Above all else, Luke vows to protect the woman he cares about.
When Dr. Harper Love moves to Oakville, she doesn’t expect to find a network of new friends, a man who captures her heart, and certainly not a stalker who watches her every move. When she begins receiving menacing notes at the hospital where she works, it soon becomes clear that the threats are no prank. Harper finds herself turning to Luke Price, and his protective instincts go on high alert. Will his heart be able to stand losing Harper? Or can he figure out who the stalker is and keep the woman he loves safe?

About N.J. Young
I'm a
Midwestern girl and a lover of coffee, live music, and horror movies, not
necessarily in that order.
I've
been writing all my life, and I honestly can't remember a time when I wanted to
do anything but write. After many years spent suffering the trials of corporate
America and writing about everything from financial risk management to software
user manuals to website copy about radiators (sadly, I'm not kidding), I
decided take the plunge and start writing books.
I
love a good love story with super hot alpha males, strong heroines, a little
humor, and a lot of suspense. Sprinkle in some sexual fantasies and a few BDSM
aspects, and Boom! These are only a few of the themes you'll find in my
books.
When
I'm not writing, I'm probably at Starbucks, or fighting evil with the help of
my husband, two children, and our houseful of animals.

Explosive
Desire (Love With a Price, #4) Excerpt
“Look at me.” When she didn’t respond, he deepened his voice.
“Harper, look at me. Now.”
She turned her head to look at him with
weary blue eyes. Fuck, he hated that she looked so broken. He wanted to fix
her. Or at least make her forget all the pain and potential danger right
outside the door.
He opened his mouth to speak, but she
stopped him with a shake of her head. “Please don’t. Don’t say it’s going to be
okay. Don’t tell me there’s nothing to worry about, and they’re going to catch
this guy.” She took a shaky breath. “I know everyone at your mom’s was just
trying to help, trying to make me feel better.” Her fingers absently played
along his. “I just don’t want you to lie to me.” She looked down at their
hands.
Her words nearly broke him. He raised a
hand to her cheek and brushed aside her blonde curls to cup her face and tilt
it up to him. “I’ll never lie to you, Harper. Not ever. I can’t even imagine
how violated you must be feeling right now. What this psycho is doing to you
makes me sick to my stomach. But I can make you one promise. I will not let
anything happen to you, do you understand me? I’ll die before I ever let anyone
hurt you.”
Her eyes filled, and she tried to look
away, but he held her face steady. “No. Look at me.” She raised her eyes again,
and a tear spilled over. Luke gently wiped it away with his thumb then leaned
in to press his lips against her forehead. He pulled back to look into her
face. “You don’t have to be afraid, Pretty, not of me.” He brushed away another
tear and stroked the back of his knuckles along her jaw. “I’m the man you can
trust. I’m the man you can depend on. And I’m not going anywhere.”
“Luke…” She said his name on a
whisper as the pad of his thumb stroked gently over her bottom lip.
Tentatively, her tongue snaked out to lick his thumb. He stilled as her soft
wetness played over the tip of his thumb. Harper searched his face as if she
were waiting to see if he would pull away. When he didn’t, she sucked his thumb
into her mouth.
Heat flared through Luke, and his arousal
ratcheted up to eleven.
Get it together,
Price. She’s vulnerable. You can’t take advantage of her.
“Harper…” He should tell her
this wasn’t a good idea. When he made love to her, he wanted it to be because
she needed him as much as he needed her, not because she was using him as a
distraction. But when she raised her face to his and leaned in, he couldn’t
deny her, couldn’t deny himself.
The second their lips met, all semblance
of reasoning slipped away. The only thing in his head was her.
