August 9th, 2010 By Jane Anne No Comments »

Every woman needs a man like Sam Reston…

           Take a deep breath and prepare to immerse your mind and body to fall in love with the ferocious passion, devotion and powerful compassion two individuals can have for one another, in Lisa Marie Rice’s premier in her Protector series romance, Into The Crossfire. Rice tastefully weaves danger intertwined with a love so strong that it drives a former Navy SEAL, Sam Reston to take all his prior training and do everything in his power and beyond to save Nicole Pearce, the woman that sends his body, mind, and heart into shock.

            Reston, founder of Reston Security with the help of his two best friends, also known as his brothers, and also ex-Special Forces agents, is nothing less of extraordinary. Although at first glance, his demeanor may seem intimidating and his strong willed physique sends the wrong message to Pearce, a stunning woman, both physically and in her dedication to care for her ill father and keep afloat of her brand new company. Reston had a harsh childhood growing up, with two negligent mother’s and made a promise to himself to protect women and children from harm. Now, his life revolves around protecting battered women and children and keeping them safe from violent creatures, who are beneath what a genuine man is. While Reston is on an undercover job, he manages to avert his attention to the alluring beauty across the hall from him, and makes it his duty to make her his- no matter what the consequences.

          Although Reston has had his fair share of beautiful women, none of them even dare to compare to the breath taking gorgeous woman that walks past his office every morning. His desire for her is burning inside him and consumes his thoughts and his sexual yearning. Pearce, a well traveled and educated, intelligent and politely mannered woman sees nothing but a dingy, unshaven and in a desperate need for a head to toe grooming, huge bulk of a man. When Sam comes to her rescue after she leaves her office key at home, her payment to him comes in the form of a dinner that leads to a ground shaking and skin pulsating relationship.

       Underneath all of Sam’s undercover grime, Nicole finds a handsome, honest and honorable man. They both plunge head first into the unknown that leaves them gasping for more of each other.

Excerpt:

           It was unthinkable that there be anything separating them. It was as if they both came to that conclusion together, at the very same instant. She reached up, swept his jacket off those broad shoulders. Her shaking fingers tugged at his tie and before it floated to the ground, she was at this shirt buttons, freeing the round bits of plastic from the eyeholes, pulling the tails out from his pants. She couldn’t take off his shirt because his hands were on her bottom, holding her up, so the shirt fell off his shoulders just enough for her to feel the curly chest hairs and hard muscles of his chest against her. It was maddening that she still had the barriers of her dress and bra between them. She ached to feel him, hard to soft. Absorb some of that strength and heat through her skin.

          Nicole, whose whole body is utterly rattled in the most profound way, tries desperately to comprehend what Sam means to her. Despite being preoccupied with tending to her father and building up her company, nothing can keep her away from Sam. The fierce bond Reston and Pearce share is beyond sexual intimacy and is tested in the final seconds he must protect her. Sam’s animal instinct hunger for Nicole may have been physical at first, but his whole world becomes blurred with only her in focus, when danger quietly slips into her business door, threatening her life and the innocent lives in New York. With the help of his brothers, Reston must step head on into the crossfire, to save the life of the woman his body and intellect aches for, her dying father, and New York.
