I smiled against his chest and let the gentle motion of his hand, caressing up and down my spine, soothe me. My eyes floated shut on a sigh of acquiescence. Xanthus was right. Worrying and thinking would achieve nothing but a morning of me more tired than when I’d sought slumber in this bed.
It had taken a twist of fate to make me a full Enforcer. Only by agreeing to become a willing member of this quad unit had opportunity opened up for me, and I didn’t intend to squander it. I’d be the best Enforcer I possibly could. Even more important to me though was that I kept Xanthus, Radek and Kain safe and happy. There was no going back, no changing of mind or heart.
I was no longer on the outside looking in, just waiting for the opportunity to prove I was good enough. For the first time in my life, I felt as if I had everything. There was no doubt I’d do whatever it took to keep it and them. After all, I’m an Enforcer, and we don’t know the meaning of the word quit.
About the Author
Lacey is a hyper blonde, bouncing through life with her magical bracelets of positivity. A die hard gamer (she refuses to call it an addiction), she resides in the Midwest, mom to three awesome children, one demanding bulldog, and two crazy cats. She has a passion for life and tends to leap long before she checks for safety exits. She writes possessive, alpha heroes who demand everything from the women they love. Believing sex is an integral part of a healthy romantic relationship, she doesn’t believe in closed doors, or even confining things to the indoors. Her stories reflect her strong family ties, friendships that showcase how some family consists of those we choose, and a goofy sense of humor that helps keep her laughing through all life’s ups and downs.
She loves to chat with anyone and often does to the annoyance of her children who are always in a hurry. If you want to talk books, television, movies, actors, World of Warcraft, prepping for the zombie apocalypse, or music (she loves music!), drop her a line at [email protected].

Enforced Love by Lacey Thorn
Alpha Enforcer Squad Series, Book One
I’m an Enforcer, one of the members of our elite military force. I take my job seriously. So when my commander tells me I’ve been picked for a trial program that will pair me with a couple of male Enforcers and get me sent to Quadrant Five, a hotbed of criminal activity that I can’t wait to step foot into, I’m raring to go. This is what I’ve worked for my entire career.
I have one night to say my farewells and let off some sexual steam before I’m locked into six weeks of nothing but work, and the two sexy alphas who just walked into the club have me willing and ready. All we get is one night of nothing but pleasure. I shouldn’t want them as much as I do. None of us want the night to end, but we all have jobs to do.
My mission comes first. My job is my life. I’m prepared for whatever the mission requires. Until the moment I step through the door and realize one night was only the beginning.
Bewitched for Pleasure by Lacey Thorn
Pleasures Series, Book Ten
Brenna has always been a little on the shy side, or maybe she just feels overshadowed by her more outgoing best friend. Either way, enough is enough. This Halloween, she’s going to have some fun with one of the three hunks she’s had a crush on forever. The only question is—which one might be interested in her?
Scott, Travis and Kyle have been the best of friends most of their lives. None of them really planned on coming back to their hometown or finding little Brenna all grown up and sexy as hell. They all want her, and no one is willing to walk away.
A full moon, candlelight and the casting of a spell will make this Halloween one none of them will ever forget.
Trinity by Katie Blu
Working alongside her childhood friend, Tarrel Dolan, Neela Pharr has been on security detail for the emissary of Elara for several years. The need for Prillian ore is greater than ever as tensions between outer worlds mount. After years of cultivating a relationship with King Thrax of Prill, diplomacy is collapsing and weapons are in play. But King Thrax thows out an offer: mining rights, in return for the use of Neela’s body.
Sex is a simple, meaningless exchange right? Except Neela is torn between her long-time attraction to Tarrel, and her uninhibited desire for King Thrax. So when the king invites them both to his bed, is it really the fulfillment of a contract or something much, much more meaningful?
Megan’s Men by Tessie Bradford
Fated Mates of Mesta Series, Book One
Megan Lynch has had a very bad year. Her husband took off with most of their assets and a twenty-year-old bimbo. She lost her job and has nowhere to live. Accepting a management position at a research facility on a distant planet was supposed to be the first step to a new start. But now her transport has been cancelled indefinitely. She’s stranded, exhausted, defeated and utterly pissed off.
Garfor, Rork and Loban came to Earth for a one-day trading mission. Finding their woman alone and upset in the travel port is both a blessing and extremely upsetting. She is unfamiliar with their ways, and Garfor is forced to use deceit to get her onto their ship and off the planet. With only a few days to convince her she is destined to be theirs forever, all three men are more than willing to rise to the challenge.
Anna and the Three Generals by Suzanne Graham
Profortuna Series, Book One
Having spent the last twenty-five years devoted to science, elite bio-researcher Anna is now faced with her mandatory mating on the un-breathable planet of Profortuna. Anna’s research on how to sustain life in the bio-domes is vital, but it also makes her a target of the Open Air Society.
Convinced the Council has found the most appropriately brain-heavy men on the planet for her mates in order to perpetuate their superior intellectual genes, Anna is shocked to find three high-ranking military men waiting for her in the reception room.
Just as Anna’s sexuality is awakened by a kiss from one of her mates, terrorists from the Open Air Society attack her lab, and the three Generals act quickly to protect her. As they shuttle her to the other side of the planet, Anna comes to know her mates intimately as three men of distinction. But can they fulfill her secret wish to find old-fashioned romantic love?
Aquarius Dawning by Kris Norris
Dark Horizon Series, Book Three
Commander Dakota “Dak” Winter is on a mission of vengeance. After being captured and held prisoner in an underground facility on Venitia, she’s seeking justice on the man behind her incarceration—Captain Frank Bane. After years of terrorizing the outer rim colonies for his own gain, the man’s rogue actions are finally coming back to haunt him, and she’s determined to be the one to bring him down…if only she could find him.
Reluctantly accepting help from her father, Senator Jefferson Hayes, she finds herself teamed up with two men from her past—Commanders Kane Paterson and Tanner Jenkins—who seem just as interested in her as they are in capturing Bane. It doesn’t help that she’s been fighting her feelings for them for what feels like forever. Or that they’ve made it clear they’re not looking to remain just friends.
A manhunt across the galaxy might bring her some form of closure. Or it might be the start of a dangerous new adventure.
