Thirty year old senior computer programmer, Marlene “Trix” Levy has worked for Cyanic Flame for the past seven years. She was a hard worker and what she didn’t need was the attraction she felt for the newest person there, a very handsome Caucasian named Troy.

            A Mercenary, Kenneth Troy Franklin, also was a computer nerd. His uncle headed the division he was called in to discover a thief at Cyanic Flame. Her dark beauty had turned his head the first time he ever saw her picture and he will protect her no matter what the cost.

            A late night dinner leads to weeks of love, flowers and gifts as Troy woos the woman of his dreams even as he investigates her.

            After the truth comes out can he hold onto her love or will she throw it all away because of a trick? Halloween night will prove whether or not he can keep his Trix and get his treat.

“Stay with me.”

Her knees buckled, but he was there to hold her up. Yes! I want to stay with you. “I could spend some time,” she began.

“No. Spend the night.” His gaze was unflinchingly direct.

“I have to work tomorrow,” she protested weakly.

Troy remained silent and just watched her. When she made a step away from him, he acted. “Trix,” he muttered as one hand encircled her arm. “You know how much I want you.”

“I…I…I have to pay for my gas,” she mumbled, taken way off balance by his blatant admission. She pulled away and headed to the counter feeling him right behind her but refusing to look back.

Paying quickly, Trix hurried out into the dark night. It was still raining as she bolted to her car. Three steps away from the protection of the roof over the pumps she was halted and spun around.

Troy towered over her. The rain sluicing down his hair and face only highlighted his chiseled features. His clothes just as drenched as hers. The look in his eyes was single-minded determination.

Before she could form a sentence his arm had pulled her flush to him and his mouth descended with mastery upon hers.
