Synopsis:
Scandal. Wealth. Power. Seduction. Welcome to
the world of the O'Malleys.
Ex-cop Charlotte Finch used to
think there was a clear line between right and wrong. Then her fellow officers
betrayed her, and the world is no longer so black and white. Especially when
it's Aiden O'Malley, one of the most dangerous men in Boston, who offers her a
chance for justice. The only catch: she'll have to pretend to be his fiancée
for his plan to work.
Aiden can't afford to let
anyone see the man behind the mask. To run the O'Malley empire, he has to be
cool and controlled at all times. But the moment he meets Charlie, they're
playing with fire. Her slightest touch is enough to send him over the edge. At
first their "engagement" was a way to eliminate his enemies. Now
he'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe-- even if he has to destroy his own
family to do it.

Katee Robert
His brows slanted down,
and then his expression cleared. “You’re worried about me? Bright eyes, you
don’t have to be.”
Either he was lying to
make her feel better or he’d missed the cold calculation in Alethea’s eyes when
she’d watched them walk out. If he didn’t dance to the tune she set, she would
have no problem killing him. She wouldn’t lose a wink of sleep at night over
it.
Charlie gripped his
hand tighter. “Promise me.”
“You know I can’t. I’ll
do whatever it takes to see this through, and if that means getting into
another situation like the one we just left, I won’t hesitate.”
She wanted to shake the
stubbornness right out of him. “Even if it means you don’t walk out alive?”
He started to give her
a pat answer. She saw the second he registered that she was actually scared for
him—not herself. The mask slipped,
and something like wonder dawned. Aiden pulled her into his lap and framed her
face with his hands. “The end justifies the means. You know that.”
She’d thought the same
thing earlier. Now she wasn’t so sure.
But he wasn’t going to
listen to her tonight. Either he hadn’t seen the danger or he was determined to
downplay it. If she kept pressing, it might mean a fight, and that was the last
thing Charlie wanted. She’d never been more aware of time flowing, a river that
she couldn’t fight. Aiden wasn’t hers. She couldn’t protect him. She didn’t
even have a real right to demand he take more precautions. She was just a woman
whose aims had lined up with his.
“Charlie—”
She kissed him. There
wasn’t anything left to say that they couldn’t communicate with their bodies.
She shifted to straddle him, the move making her dress ride up to indecent heights.
All Aiden’s careful control was gone in an instant, replaced by a frenzy that
matched her own. He slid his hands up her thighs to her hips, pushing the dress
even higher, and grabbed her ass, grinding her against him.
All her fear and anger
turned to desire, creating an inferno bound to incinerate them both. She could
care less. Charlie reached between them and undid his slacks to pull out his
cock. She palmed him. “Condom?”
He opened his mouth and
then considered. “Fuck, I don’t have any.”
Damn. Disappointment soured in her
stomach, but she shoved it away. “Then I guess we’ll have to get creative. I
need you inside me. I don’t care how.” She pushed away his hands and slid down
the seat to kneel between his thighs.
Or she tried to.
He caught her halfway
through the move and shook his head. “No, bright eyes.”
“What?” Surely he wasn’t
rejecting a blow job? That had to break some kind of international law. It just
wasn’t done. “You’re starting to give me a complex.”
Aiden lifted her back
to his lap, this time facing away from him. The passing lights showed her
reflection in the glass separating them from the front seat. Her blue eyes were
wild, her hair tangled from his fingers, her dress in danger of slipping off
her breasts. Behind her, Aiden was barely a shadow. He moved her hair to one
side and kissed her neck. “You come first, bright eyes. Second, too, if I have
any say in it.”
She licked her lips. “One
of these days, I’m going to tie you down and give you all the blow jobs I’ve
been craving.”
“One of these days…” He
bracketed her throat with one hand, keeping her head tilted to the side, and
coasted the other hand up her inner thigh, spreading her legs further. “One of
these days, I’ll let you.”
She nodded. “Good
answer.” The move increased the pressure of his hand against her neck, and she
squirmed, turned on far more than she should be.
His wandering hand
reached the junction between her thighs, and he parted her, idly stroking. “I
think I like that you’re worried about me.” His finger circled her clit and
away. “I like it a lot.”
“Mmm.” What was she
supposed to say to that? She’d already had to face the fact that she didn’t
have the right words because she didn’t have the right.
His finger pushed into
her slowly. “I won’t be without a condom again, bright eyes. Feeling you so hot
and wet around my finger makes me crave the same around my cock.” He pumped as
idly as he’d touched her to begin with. “A woman like you could make a man
forget himself.”
It was hard to think,
with his hard body behind her, his erection pressing against her ass, and his
hand moving between her legs. She tried despite that. “Only for a while.”
“No, bright eyes. Not
just for a while.” He dragged his mouth down the line of her shoulder. “When
I’m inside you, all I can think of is you. When I’m near you, all I can think
of is getting inside you again. If you gave me half a chance, I’d be buried to
the hilt right now, condom be damned. That’s crazy.”
She rocked against his
hand, letting her head fall back to rest on his shoulder. He let go of her
throat. The only warning she got was his thumb brushing her sternum and then he
pushed down her dress, baring her breasts completely. Aiden cursed. “Next time
you forget such a vital part of your wardrobe, the moment I find out, I’m going
to fuck you. I might give you the option of dragging you to the nearest
bathroom…if you’re lucky.”
Praise
for UNDERCOVER ATTRACTION
“Robert (Forbidden Promises) combines strong
chemistry, snappy plotting, and imperfect yet appealing characters in her fifth
O’Malley contemporary.”—Publishers
Weekly on UNDERCOVER ATTRACTION
“Imagine the erotic sensibility
of Red Shoe Diaries expertly
fused with the ruthless power struggles that fueled The Sopranos and you have some
idea of the flavor of Robert’s RITA–nominated O’Malleys series. In the fifth
installment, she doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to the searing
sensuality of the love scenes or the brutal danger propelling the plot, thus
delivering exactly the kind of intense love story her readers crave.”—Booklist

compulsively readable book with just the right amount of suspense and
tension." When not writing sexy contemporary and romantic suspense,
she spends her time playing imaginary games with her children, driving her
husband batty with what-if questions, and planning for the inevitable zombie
apocalypse.
