A stalker has set his sights on Harper and will stop at nothing
to make her his…
Finding love is the last thing on Luke Price’s mind as he leads
his construction crew to complete the new wing of Oakville Hospital. But he
can’t deny his feelings when Dr. Harper Love walks into his life. Lacking the
sociability of his younger siblings, Luke doesn’t think a woman like Harper
would ever want an introvert like him. But he puts his skepticism on hold when
he discovers that Harper has become the victim of a stalker. Above all else,
Luke vows to protect the woman he cares about.
When Dr. Harper Love moves to Oakville, she doesn’t expect to
find a network of new friends, a man who captures her heart, and certainly not
a stalker who watches her every move. When she begins receiving menacing notes
at the hospital where she works, it soon becomes clear that the threats are no
prank. Harper finds herself turning to Luke Price, and his protective instincts
go on high alert. Will his heart be able to stand losing Harper? Or can he
figure out who the stalker is and keep the woman he loves safe?

About N.J. Young
I'm a
Midwestern girl and a lover of coffee, live music, and horror movies, not
necessarily in that order.
I've been
writing all my life, and I honestly can't remember a time when I wanted to do
anything but write. After many years spent suffering the trials of corporate
America and writing about everything from financial risk management to software
user manuals to website copy about radiators (sadly, I'm not kidding), I
decided take the plunge and start writing books.
I love a
good love story with super hot alpha males, strong heroines, a little humor,
and a lot of suspense. Sprinkle in some sexual fantasies and a few BDSM
aspects, and Boom! These are only a few of the themes you'll find in my
books.
When I'm not
writing, I'm probably at Starbucks, or fighting evil with the help of my
husband, two children, and our houseful of animals.

Explosive
Desire (Love With a Price, #4) Excerpt
“Look
at me.” When she didn’t respond, he deepened his voice. “Harper, look at me. Now.”
She
turned her head to look at him with weary blue eyes. Fuck, he hated that she
looked so broken. He wanted to fix her. Or at least make her forget all the
pain and potential danger right outside the door.
He
opened his mouth to speak, but she stopped him with a shake of her head.
“Please don’t. Don’t say it’s going to be okay. Don’t tell me there’s nothing
to worry about, and they’re going to catch this guy.” She took a shaky breath.
“I know everyone at your mom’s was just trying to help, trying to make me feel
better.” Her fingers absently played along his. “I just don’t want you to lie
to me.” She looked down at their hands.
Her
words nearly broke him. He raised a hand to her cheek and brushed aside her
blonde curls to cup her face and tilt it up to him. “I’ll never lie to you,
Harper. Not ever. I can’t even imagine how violated you must be feeling right
now. What this psycho is doing to you makes me sick to my stomach. But I can
make you one promise. I will not let anything happen to you, do you understand
me? I’ll die before I ever let anyone hurt you.”
Her
eyes filled, and she tried to look away, but he held her face steady. “No. Look
at me.” She raised her eyes again, and a tear spilled over. Luke gently wiped
it away with his thumb then leaned in to press his lips against her forehead.
He pulled back to look into her face. “You don’t have to be afraid, Pretty, not
of me.” He brushed away another tear and stroked the back of his knuckles along
her jaw. “I’m the man you can trust. I’m the man you can depend on. And I’m not
going anywhere.”
“Luke…” She said his name on a whisper as the pad of his
thumb stroked gently over her bottom lip. Tentatively, her tongue snaked out to
lick his thumb. He stilled as her soft wetness played over the tip of his
thumb. Harper searched his face as if she were waiting to see if he would pull
away. When he didn’t, she sucked his thumb into her mouth.
Heat
flared through Luke, and his arousal ratcheted up to eleven.
Get it together, Price. She’s vulnerable.
You can’t take advantage of her.
“Harper…” He should tell her this wasn’t a good idea. When he
made love to her, he wanted it to be because she needed him as much as he
needed her, not because she was using him as a distraction. But when she raised
her face to his and leaned in, he couldn’t deny her, couldn’t deny himself.
The
second their lips met, all semblance of reasoning slipped away. The only thing
in his head was her.
