Chased
by her criminal kingpin father, Katya Dalca runs to New Orleans and
straight into the arms of Luke Hunter. Sucked into the carnal world

up the pieces and rebuild her life alone.
Undercover
DEA agent Luke Hunter thought his newest assignment—recover a
stolen flash drive to gain the trust of the Russian mob—was like

means walking away, leaving his heart behind with nothing but a
promise to reunite. It's a promise he can't keep.
When
Katya's past reaches out and her world unravels, her only hope is the
one man she is most vulnerable to—Luke.

Excerpt:
The
smell of beignets wafted up and distracted, I lifted the bag and took
a deep breath. Whoosh! Fine sugar blew up out of the bag and coated
me.
“Shit,
honey, you look sweet all over.”
Oh, just
great.
Blinking
sugar out of my eyes I looked up. And up. He was tall, well over six
foot. Midnight-blue eyes rimmed by a deeper blue-black smoldered
lazily down at me. “You’re holding the best beignets in the
world. You gonna stand there or you going to take a bite?”
“Umm.”
Jeez, Katya. Say something.
“Here,
let me hold that for you.” He took the coffee from my hand. “Go
on, babe. Take a bite. It’ll be the best thing you’ll ever
taste.”
Still
struck dumb, I did what he asked and lifted a beignet out of the bag
and took a big bite. Oh! It was like sinking my teeth into a sweet
pillow of ambrosia.
“Good
huh?”
I nodded
and stared back at him. Then, without uttering a word, I stuffed the
rest of the beignet into my mouth. He grinned at me, shaking his
head. “Want to wash it down with this?” He held out my coffee.
My
fingers brushed against his. Yikes! I couldn’t stop the slight
tremor caused by his touch. I took a gulp of coffee - half rich
chicory, half hot milk - and finally found my voice. “Would you
like one?” I offered the bag of beignets to him.
“Would
be like taking candy from a baby,” he grinned. “But don’t
worry, I’ve got my own.” He dangled a packet like mine in front
of me.
Then we
both stood there and smiled at each other while we gorged on sugary
donuts. He would reach for my coffee to free my hand. Then after I
ate some fluffy yumminess, he’d hand it back to me so I could take
a sip. We swallowed the last of our beignets and licked our fingers.
I didn’t
even know his name, yet I was more turned on than I had ever been in
my life.

Last
year, Anni Fife closed the door on a successful career in television,
to fulfill her lifelong passion, writing. In the space of one month,
she closed her business, packed up her city life and moved to a small
seaside village. ‘My writing has always been constrained by client
briefs,’ Anni says. ‘Now, I finally have the opportunity to write
to the beat of my own heart.’ LUKE’s Redemption is Anni’s debut
novel and she hopes you enjoy reading it as much as she loved writing
it. Anni loves to spend hours walking on the beach searching for
pansy shells, more hours drinking red wine with her gal posse, and
the most hours writing steamy romance novels filled with hot alpha
men and the sassy intelligent women they can’t live without. She is
currently working on her second novel, GRAY’s Promise.
