“I like the red ones,” Josh said before turning back toward the display of lingerie. “Oh, and this color. Is that teal?” He lifted up the pair of panties and held them out before him.
I smiled as a younger guy three feet away ducked his head in embarrassment.
“Now these would look fucking amazing on you. Damn, baby.” Josh’s eyes gleamed in excitement as he looked up at me. “I may go broke if you keep bringing me to places like these.”
I giggled as I grabbed the pink, lacy, and completely see-through nightie he held in his other hand.
“We’ll take one of these in every color you have,” he hollered to the clerk.
I hid my head against his chest and tickled his sides.
“What?” he grunted and tried to pull back from my assault. “You can’t blame me for trying, sweetheart.
Forget about getting dressed daily. I think you should live in these nighties.”
I tilted my head and looked up at him. “You are insatiable.” I rose up on my tiptoes, bringing my lips close to his. “And extremely adorable.”
He closed the distance and kissed me, wrapping his arm around my waist securely. His tongue rolled with mine, and for a moment I forgot we were standing in the center of a department store. Someone cleared their throat, and I broke the kiss to look over my shoulder. An older salesperson was giving us a disapproving glare.
“Sorry,” I offered. When I turned back to face Josh, he was grinning from ear to ear.
“So—” He waggled his eyebrows suggestively. “—we are getting some of these. Right?”
I lifted up the light pink nightie and shook it in front of his face. “We’ll get this one and the red one,” I assured him as I walked toward the sales clerk at the checkout counter. When I looked back over my shoulder, Josh was smiling brightly and following close behind.
“Now that’s my girl. Looks like tonight we’re staying in.”
I rolled my eyes and turned forward again as he chuckled.

Stars - 5
Heat - 5
Lies is one heck of a 5 star read.
Gabby’s face was the last thing I saw before the darkness took over, and I prayed I would get to kiss her beautiful lips again.
All I have to say is wow, what a heck of a read. This is Gabriella and Joshua’s story.
Josh has worked hard to be an FBI agent, and just as he is about to start a big case he meets Gabby. Their chemistry is off the charts and they can't resist each other. Josh is about to go undercover, and he shouldn't get involved, but he can't resist her. The love scenes are hot.
I don’t want to say much more about this great read, this is something that everyone needs to read and experience on their own.
“So not only do I have to go into hiding, I have to fu##ing crush my family in the process.”
There are so many twist and turns in this story. The cliffhanger will leave you on pins and needles. This was a well written book from start to finish. Thank you C.A. Harms for such an awesome read. I can’t wait to read Chaos to see more of Gabby and Josh’s story.
