Always Dangerous
Series: Adrenaline Highs Book 6
Release Date: October 6, 2015
Leo Frost has lost his house, his car and possibly his acting career. Releasing an independent film is his only hope of paying for his sister’s twenty-four/seven care, but he’s got to finish it first. The last thing he needs is a curveball from the one woman who could break his focus with a look, a smile and the most unexpected news of his life.
Kim Jacobs wants it all—a career in a big city, a husband and a family, but a tryst two months ago with one of Hollywood’s biggest stars leaves her pregnant. Knowing Leo doesn’t want kids or a wife, Kim decides to make her own happily-ever-after with the help of a recent inheritance. All that’s left is to tell the man and move on.
Kim’s short visit to L.A. turns deadly with a series of mysterious attempts on her life. Suddenly Leo not only has to save his career, he has to find out who’s trying to murder the lady who is stealing his heart. As an actor, danger was staged and nothing was at stake, but now the threats are all too real. If Leo wants a future and a family with Kim, he has to prove he can do more than play a hero onscreen, he has to be one in real life.

GUEST POST
The Series. The Whole Series and Nothing But the Series.
First of all… A big thank you to Lana for having me at Dirty Girl Romance, especially on release day for Always Dangerous! Now… onto the topic!
What matters to you? Is it money? Looks? Personality? A sense of humor? What turns you on? What attracts you to the opposite sex?
I love that the characters in the Adrenaline Highs series all found different reasons to fall in love with each other. From Trace and Mac in Dangerous Race to Kim and Leo in Always Dangerous, the qualities that bring them together are the same ones that threaten to tear them apart.
Money doesn’t make the world go round for Ellie and Quinn in Danger Zone and Ashley and Mel learn what’s most important to them in Dangerously Close. There are more couples and more stories, but I think you get the idea that these characters deal with the same problems we all do… the only difference is someone is usually trying to kill one of them for one reason or another!
Always Dangerous takes two of the most world-weary characters and gives them something to fight for. Leo and Kim are both lonely and have very different ideas about what they want in life. Too bad their attraction is more than they can fight. Or…maybe not! It’s those things worth fighting for that make our lives richer and these two discover that the hard way.
Leo had been up most of the night working on the numbers for his movie, so she felt confident that she wouldn’t wake him when she left for her hike. She needed some serious space from the guy. He jumbled every one of her senses. He was a man who didn’t want commitment and she was a woman who did. Her head knew he wasn’t the guy for her, but her heart didn’t care. And her duplicitous body…forget about it. Her heart pounded like a damn drum whenever he was around, her eyes always searched him out and her hands ached to touch. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
She’d just finished writing him a note when he showed up in the kitchen, looking bleary-eyed, rumpled and gorgeous as hell in shorts…and only shorts. His washboard abs made her mouth water for a taste. For all the hours she’d spent last night hardening her heart to this man, all it took was one look for the traitorous organ to pound out of control.
His sleepy eyes narrowed as he took in her outfit. “What the hell are you planning now?”
She ignored his tone and the way it made her girl parts tingle. “I’m going on a little hike. If you don’t see me back here tonight, then call the fire department again. I may need rescuing.”
He shook his head slowly as his tired eyes opened wider. “Don’t even think about it.”
“Uh oh. Too late.” She zipped past him, but he caught her arm and twirled her about face.
Leo exhaled a measured breath. “Nothing I say is going to stop you, is it?” She shrugged a shoulder and opened her mouth to tell him she was a grown woman, perfectly capable of taking care of herself, but he cut her off. “Fine. Give me time to get dressed and pack us some provisions.” He gestured to the tiny pack she had over her shoulders. “That doesn’t hold nearly enough water for the amount of energy we’ll be expending.” He leaned forward and touched his forehead to hers. “Give me ten minutes or else.”
Kim smothered a grin. He was kind of funny when he ordered her around. “Or else what?” She kept a straight face. Sometimes she liked goading him just to see what he would do.
“Or else when I see you next, I’m going to put you over my knee and spank that sweet ass of yours.”
A blast of heat exploded in her stomach and moved directly south. Though the picture he created sounded erotic as hell, Kim was totally not into that. “Don’t count on it,” she breathed. “That is not on my to-do list. Ever.”
“Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it.” He pulled away. “Ten minutes starting now. You better be here.”
