Trying to stay quiet, Faith finagled her hands down his shirt while wriggling her body.
He sucked in his flat stomach to give her more room. “It’s on the lef—” he flinched and pressed his back against the wall a little harder. “That’s not a magazine.”
“Oh, isn’t it?” she whispered.
He heard a smile come through in her reply. “I said on my belt...not below it.”
“Well, in my defense, it does have the same size and firmness of a magazine.”
Randall grinned inwardly. She was dirty and grubby that day. Her hair was greasy and stringy. Her cheek was bruised, and caked-on blood clung to her neck. And yet, his mind’s eye saw her in the hideaway’s subdued lighting, she was beautiful.
“Tell me I’m wrong, Noah. Tell me I’m wrong, and I’ll,” Faith lifted her right arm straight out to the side and pointed, “walk out that door, fly back to Seattle, and you’ll never see me again.” She folded arms below her breasts. “Is that what you want?”
He glanced at her before continuing his staring contest with the floor.
Giving him a full minute to reply, and receiving only silence, she cozied up to him and gently clutched his upper arms. “That’s what I,” her voice was calm, “was hoping you’d say.”
Randall squinted at her. “What about Jessica? I,” he looked down and shook his head, “I don’t want to betray her,” before lifting his eyes to take in Faith a moment later.
“Just let me handle my sister...while you,” she pushed her pants down to her upper thighs and guided his hands to her bare butt, “handle me.”
Feeling her smooth skin, his heart rate increasing, the front of his jeans growing tighter, Randall regarded her. I don’t know where this is going. But I do know one thing, Miss Mahoney. You’re an incredibly sexy... he hoisted her into the air.
Faith wrapped arms around his neck and legs around his waist.
...vibrant woman. And I really...
She locked her ankles behind his back and dipped her head to kiss him.
...really want to get to know you. French-kissing her the whole way, Randall carried Faith across the living room and into the bedroom before donkey kicking the door shut.

Thank You
This novel really took on a familial feeling as the action and adventure played out. The final few chapters cemented that impression with everyone getting together for dinner. Yes, there was some drama at the table between Jessica and Faith, but, then again, isn’t that what family’s all about? In the end, however, everything worked out, and Noah was welcomed into the fold.
And how about Faith Mahoney? Hopefully, you loved reading about her as much as I enjoyed writing about her. She was another one of those characters who seemed to come alive the more you engaged with her. Each of her scenes drew you into a deeper personality, one she tries to hide from others.
I do hope you enjoyed No Good Options. If so, please consider posting a review at your favorite bookseller. And you’re always welcome to send me a note at [email protected]. I’d love to hear from you.
Thank you for purchasing and reading No Good Options. Until my next book launches, take care. And, if you subscribe to my newsletter, then you’ll be hearing from me before then.
Sincerely,
Alex J. Ander

About the Author
Living in the middle of Michigan, Alex Ander writes Action & Adventure/Thriller novels. He has four series in production, focusing on the exploits of the protagonists Aaron Hardy, Jacob St. Christopher, FBI Special Agent Raychel DelaCruz (Cruz to those who know her), and Jessica Devlin.
His writing style mixes fast-paced action scenes with suspense, humor and sharp dialogue. Each book is wrapped up at the end with NO cliffhangers. Characters and relationships do develop and evolve over the course of the series, so it is best to read the books in order.
Mission Statement:
Write fast-paced action thrillers with characters you'll love and clean language.
From the Author:
My goal is to craft stories that entertain and leave a positive, lasting impression on you. I seek to create protagonists with good character, and surround them with allies you’ll want to read about as much as you do the main character.
You won’t find any vulgarity in my work (F-bombs and the like). Yes, an occasional mild, cuss word is used; however, even those are kept to a bare minimum.
And what about graphic sex scenes that leave nothing to the imagination? Nope. Not in my books.
So if you enjoy clean, fast-paced action & adventure stories with humor, crisp dialogue and camaraderie among the characters, then pick up a copy of one of my books today.
Best Wishes,
Alex
