Knox Chapters

One Month Later Soren still kind of hated her. He especially hated that she was in his house, at his dining room table, and eating the food prepared by his chef. Maze kept trying to slip her excess vegetables to the small yappy pet that kept jumping onto her chair […]

One week later Aria wrapped herself in a thick blanket and sank back into the mattress, letting the stress of her day wash away. Stress. Ha! As if she’d dealt with anything more stressful than saying how she liked her coffee since Knox brought her home. And it was home […]

Aria’s heart wasn’t pounding. She could keep her wits together on any job, no matter how hot things got. But this was hotter than she liked. She had the freaking diamond in a case handcuffed to her wrist. It was a bit over the top. But there was no way […]

Aria looked out the window at the starry night sky. Every extra moment she stayed at the orphanage put all those kids at risk. But where else was she supposed to go? Ragnar was still out there. Even worse, so was the Imperium. They didn’t know she was here. Not […]

Under any other circumstances, Aria would get lost in this kiss. Kissing Knox felt like coming home, and she wanted that. She wished she deserved it. But the fire all around them teased her nose, and the kiss turned harsh. Punishing. She shoved him away and stumbled back, the heat […]

Knox could still feel the phantom press of Aria’s body against him hours later. He was a fool, an utter idiot. Nothing else could explain the madness that came from suggesting they grapple. He knew he wanted her, she wanted him. But she was keeping secrets. Everything about her might […]

This was why Aria hated the grift. Jobs like this got a girl too close to the mark and the guilt that assailed her couldn’t be washed away with any number of credits. Knox was nice. And sexy. And so damned perfect that he made her want to scream. She […]
