Deception — Alison Mello

Kara I should start trusting my gut instincts more often. Maybe then I wouldn't have wasted so much time on Noah, the lying SOB who had the honor of calling himself my boyfriend for way too long. Now I no longer have to feel guilty about sneaking stolen glances at Club Thrive's family bodyguard. Slade manages to make my body react in the most sinful ways just by being near me, and now that I'm fair game...I'm starting to suspect he might feel the same way. Slade I've been hired to protect the Club Thrive family, and that includes protecting Kara from low-life scumbags like her ex-boyfriend. Unfortunately, I don't think this is the last we've seen of Noah. He's got bad news stamped all over his forehead, and if my instincts are anything to go by, he's not going to let Kara go that easily. But I've waited too damn long for the chance to make Kara mine. Nothing and no one will stop me from keeping her safe...not even the Devil himself.
