From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lexi Blake comes a new story in her Masters and Mercenaries series… David Hawthorne has a great life. His job as a professor at a prestigious Dallas college is everything he hoped for. Now that his brother is back from the Navy, life seems to be settling down. All he needs to do is finish the book he’s working on and his tenure will be assured. When he gets invited to interview a reclusive expert, he knows he’s gotten lucky. But being the stepson of Sean Taggart comes with its drawbacks, including an overprotective mom who sends a security detail to keep him safe. He doesn’t need a bodyguard, but when Tessa Santiago shows up on his doorstep, the idea of her giving him close cover doesn’t seem so bad. Tessa has always excelled at most anything she tried, except romance. The whole relationship thing just didn’t work out for her. She’s not looking for love, and she’s certainly not looking for it with an academic who happens to be connected to her boss’s family. The last thing she wants is to escort an overly pampered pretentious man-child around South America to ensure he doesn’t get into trouble. Still, there’s something about David that calls to her. In addition to watching his back, she will have to avoid falling into the trap of soulful eyes and a deep voice that gets her heart racing But when the seemingly simple mission turns into a treacherous race for a hidden artifact, David and Tess know this assignment could cost them far more than their jobs. If they can overcome the odds, the lost treasure might not be their most valuable reward. **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.** Reviews for Treasured: “A fun read with great banter and fantastic characters.” - awlovestoread “Readers are treated both to an expansion of the couple’s hotter than Hades chemistry, as well as lots of mystery and suspense. The combination of the two made this a five star read.” - cheryl33610 “All the ingredients necessary for heart-pounding action, high heat romance, and naturally a HEA” - A Wonderful World of Words “Treasured is a quick, fun, and steamy read.” - Becky on Books

For a year and a half, morning and night, Alexandria Tackleman prayed she would be able to escape from her abusive husband and isolated life. Was this day at the beach her chance? Winston Grover had been watching the mistreated woman who looked like she just wanted to swim. Help her, a voice urged. “Do you need help escaping from that man?” he whispered in Alexandria’s ear. Before she could answer, he was gently but quickly escorting her back to shore. What was happening? Her first impulse was to pull away, to push this stranger away, to yell that she didn’t need his help and explain how Gary was her husband. But while her brain tried to tell her tongue what to say and her legs what to do, she heard the soft voice repeat, Trust me. Go. I am answering your prayer. She glanced at the man beside her. His lips were not moving. She felt a warmth spread through her that had nothing to do with the blazing sun overhead. A calmness swept over her. And she knew. Her prayers had been answered. But what her rescuer didn’t know was that she would change his life forever too.
