Synopsis

A killer without a master.

A monster without a leash.

Xavier “X” Blood is a contract killer. Cold, calculating, devoid of feeling.

He knows the best way to drive the life from another human beings eyes, but what he doesn’t bargain on is wanting to save a life he’s meant to take.

Mercy Reid was good at running from her demons. That was until she met X and her life was thrown into chaos.

Mercy finally has him on her side…and in her bed, but it’s at a cost far greater than she could’ve anticipated.

On the run, they must learn to trust one another beyond their burgeoning love if they want to get through the coming chaos. Revenge, truth, lies...heartache...insanity. All of it threatening to drive them apart.

Mercy will do whatever it takes to avenge the horror that Sykes put her through. Anything. Even if she has to drown the last of her soul in the bad blood that threatens to destroy the last thing she holds dearest in her heart.

X.

Barbara lives in constant fear of her husband. She finally summons the courage to leave with their young daughter, Allie, but dreads the moment her husband learns of their escape. In his desire to control them and bend them to his will, he will leave no stone unturned to punish them–especially Barbara.

Grey’s future seems bleak, especially the day he is fired, but everything begins to turn around the moment he absently sinks down on a bench occupied by wealthy Gloria Withers. Gloria sees something in him that no one else bothers to notice and, within moments, a friendship is sparked that will withstand many trials.

When Barbara makes good her escape and arrives on the doorstep of her grandmother, Gloria, whom she hasn’t seen for years, Barbara is greeted instead by Grey. It doesn’t take long for a different kind of spark to fly as Barbara takes up residence in the Withers mansion.

When Grey falls inexorably in love with not only Barbara, but also her daughter Allie, he vows to do everything he can to protect them from her husband who is out for revenge.

Allie had watched him walk out of sight, and I could only wonder what was going on inside her little brain as she did. I knew that in my mind, I was seeing the most wonderful man I had ever met stride proudly away. He wasn’t leaving us; he was just going to do his job—and I couldn’t wait to see him again later that night. I took an extra few minutes to make sure I was dressed nicely, although I only had on slacks and a blouse. Grey didn’t appear to be the type of guy to get turned on by expensive clothes, and I loved that about him.

There were many things that I liked about him, from the way the sun lightened his hair to the way his eyes sparkled as he looked at me with a smile. 

I knew we were far from a point where either of us could state we had feelings for one another, but part of me wanted to believe in the romantic fairy tale of love at first sight—the night he had held Allie over the sink and grinned as she made a mess. 

That night I saw a man I could love, a man who could not only love me, but my daughter as well. My rational mind knew it was way too early to even consider such things. After the relationship from hell that I had been in, and was still trying to legally get out of, you would think I would run for the hills to avoid any attachment, yet I longed for a loving family—something that I had been denied. 

I wanted a man I could adore, and one that desired me for who I was, not how I could please him. I wanted a father for Allie, someone she could look up to so she could experience that not all men are as horrible as her father. I wanted a friend with whom I could share my life, the ups and downs and twists and turns that life threw at you. I wanted to be loved like a woman, not be a possession to be controlled.

My head told me over and over it was too soon to even consider filling that position, but my heart told me to take the vacancy sign down because the spot had already been filled. How was that possible? I stared at myself in the mirror a moment longer. I had my whole life to fall in love and have a happy family. I would take it one day at a time.

I skipped down the stairs and had just reached the bottom step when the doorbell rang. I pulled the door open wide, and my heart dropped into my stomach as I was ripped off of cloud nine.

“Well, if it isn’t my dear, sweet wife,” Todd smirked. “Don’t you look lovely—and alive.”

His tongue ran slowly across my torso, dipping slightly into my belly button and he smiled at the small moan that escaped my tightly clenched lips.  He raised his head to look down at me.

“Ah, we haven’t even started yet.”  He grinned wickedly at me before returning to pressing kisses down my belly to my thighs.  He slid my thighs apart slowly.  Moving his mouth to the apex of my legs, to the place I needed his touch the most.  He slide one finger through the lips of my pussy, groaning when he realized how wet I was.  “Fuck, Kathryn.  I have to taste you.”

With that warning, he buried his mouth against me, running his tongue around my clit in a tight circle as he slid a finger inside my tight tunnel.  He broke away with another groan.  “You are so tight and hot, fuck Kathryn.  You are perfect.”

He looked up at me, his blue eyes so dark they were almost black with his desire.  That look alone was almost enough to send me over the edge.  He was making me feel things I hadn’t for a very long time.  He kept watching me as he moved another finger to join the first, moving them in an out slowly.  

“Please Daniel…” I begged.

“Please what?”  His Irish brogue deepened and I moaned even more.

“Please make me come Daniel, please.”

“I am here to serve.  Anything you need.”  He then bent his head again, sucking my clit into his mouth, his tongue fluttering over it again and again.  His fingers picked up their pace and my hips thrust up to meet his hand.  I grabbed his thick dark curls, pulling his head closer.  He chuckled and the vibrations pushed me over the edge.  I flew to pieces, crying out over and over again.  My climax seemed to go on and on…..

I woke up with a gasp, my heart beating too fast in my chest, with a tingling and dampness around my pussy. 

“What the fuck was that?  Did I just come in my sleep? Oh hell.”  I sat up, still feeling the small tremors from my dream induced climax.  I could still feel Daniel’s lips even though it was just a dream.  I was seriously sex deprived and definitely in trouble.

A Forever Masterpiece (The Masterpiece Trilogy #3) by Nikki Lynn Barrett | Cover Reveal |

Becca and Hunter plan a future without knowing their past...

Few people know the entire truth about Becca and Hunter's connection. Even fewer are living. One is in hiding, and another is closer than they think. They're still no closer to knowing everything. Hunter gets a piece of his old life back while Becca still longs for all the answers.

One terrifying night brings consequences....

Someone doesn't want them to find the answers and will go to dire lengths to keep the past hidden. The question is, who? With so many people involved, which one of them would go to the extreme to make sure they never know?

The hunter becomes the hunted.....

With the one person hiding who started the whole thing, everyone is desperate to find her and gain the truth or keep her silent forever. It's only a matter of time....

The final installment of the Masterpiece Trilogy is full of triumph, mystery, romance and so much more. Prepare for the twists and turns as Becca and Hunter make their way to forever.

Rushing inside to get her camera, she went to work, pushing real life's pain and struggle out of her mind. It wasn't working this time, but it was still a good distraction.

Someone rapped on the door.

“I'll be out in awhile!” Becca called.

“I'm not waiting awhile. I'm coming in right now.” Hunter said from the other side of the door before opening it.

She continued to take pictures from different angles, focusing on the snowflakes.

“Bec, we need to talk about this... What are you doing?”

“You'll see.” She continued to take pictures.

Hunter waited for a few minutes. Once Becca set the camera down, he pounced, circling his arms around her. “Bec-”

“I'm not apologizing. Maybe I should, I don't know, but I couldn't take another moment in there. Why did this have to be today? Why couldn't we for once, enjoy a first together with happiness?”

“I know. I wanted that more than anything, too. I pushed him. He showed me the text and I made him tell me what he knew. Maybe I should have waited-”

Becca put her fingers against his lips. “Don't you apologize either! We shouldn't have to keep being sorry for wanting to know the truth, or for saying what we feel. Isn't that what you always tell me?”

“It is.” Hunter stared back at her.

“I'll be down in a little while. I just need a little time to calm down. I'm so angry, Hunter. There's too many secrets and so much pain. Just when I think it can't get worse, I'm proven wrong. I can't stand it!”

“I know.” He drew her closer, running his fingers through her hair. “This one hit me hard, too.”

I'm an avid lover of books. I've been writing as far back as I can remember, completing my first "book" by fifth grade in one of those one subject spiral notebooks. I have a passion for music, photography, jewelry and all things creative. I live in Arizona with my husband and son, but dream of being somewhere much colder and stormier. For now, I'll have to live that life through my characters and stick it out with the summer heat.

HUDSON'S HEART

By the time we get back to the ranch, although I am blissfully tired, I don't want this day to end. I have started to miss him, already. I haven't even got off my bloody horse yet, and I'm already missing him. Yep, seriously need to get a f***ing grip! 

"How was it ma'am?" The mature rancher from earlier is there to greet us both in the gravelled drive.

"Amazing." I swoon, wearing a ridiculous gooey expression on my face as I dismount.

"It's a real beaut out there, isn't it?"

I move around the front of Shadow. "It certainly is. I'm sorry, I don't know your name?" I offer my hand to the lovely old guy.

He takes off his Stetson, bowing his head as he politely shakes my hand. "I'm Seth, ma'am."

I smile warmly. "I am very pleased to meet you, Seth."

"Right back at ya, little lady," he chuckles to himself. 

I turn in Dade's direction. "Thank you. I have had a wonderful time," I say, leaning my head against Shadow’s neck.

"My pleasure, Georgie. I'll catch you later, okay?" He gives me the biggest, most handsome smile. I instantly weaken... pathetically weaken. He is never going to be able to catch me from the height that I am falling! I think to myself, whimsically watching him walk away. 

"You've made quite an impression on our Dade," Seth interrupts my dreamy thoughts.

"I'm sorry?" I look over Shadow’s shoulder at Seth, intrigued by his comment.

"Dade only goes out once a day with guests."

I move closer to Seth. "I don't understand what you mean," I confess, with a blank look and slight head shake.

"What I am telling you, is this young’un. He went out with all the other guests this morning, yet he asked to take you out this afternoon. He never goes out twice in one day. Yup, he's taken with you, for sure." Seth enthusiastically pats Shadow, his piercing blue eyes still resting on me.

I shyly look down at the floor with a fluttering in my stomach. "Do you really think so, Seth?" I ask quietly.

Seth knowingly smiles as he squeezes my shoulder. "Yes, I do. I also know this. Once you have a Hudson's heart, it is yours forever. Just you remember that, little lady."

All I can do is smile the biggest, happiest smile ever. So maybe... just maybe, I am not imagining it after all? Could this insanely wonderful, charismatic, beautiful man... really have a seedling of a feeling for me?
