B&N * KOBO
Since A LOT of people have been asking here is the scoop on how this book fits in with my Rook & Ronin series: Ford first appears in Rook and Ronin #2, Manic. He has a bigger role in Panic, R&R #3, and then he has a novella, called SLACK. This TAUT book is only FORD. It's not really part of the R&R series, as that plot has all been sidelined for this one romance book.
Ford Aston is getting the f*ck out of Denver. He does not give a shit about blizzards, getting his old-ass Bronco over the Rocky Mountains in one piece, or a girl knocking on his hotel door looking to be saved.
Ford Aston is known for many things. Being an emotionless, messed up bastard, a freakishly smart social outcast, and a cold, domineering master who keeps “pets” instead of girlfriends.
And after Rook broke his heart, he plans to keep it that way.
******
Ashleigh is getting the f*ck out of somewhere, but she’s not quite sure where she’s coming from, let alone where she’s going.
Ashleigh is known for nothing, and that’s exactly what she’s got going for her. She’s broke, stranded in the mountains with a three month old baby, and Ford Aston is f*cking with her head.
Big. Time.
And she plans to f*ck with his right back.
******
It’s a coy game at first, filled with flirting, and innuendo—but Ford soon realizes something is not quite right with Ashleigh. In fact, something is seriously, seriously wrong and the closer they get to their final destination, the closer Ford gets to the truth.
One night of devastation, self-loathing, and emptiness turns into the best thing that ever happened to Ford Aston. But one day of in-your-face reality threatens Ashleigh's whole existence.

Excerpt:
Luck. We are not on speaking terms, luck and I. Because my
name is not Ronin Flynn. Luck loves him. Shit, if Ronin was in this
predicament, he’d have broken down across from the Four Seasons, they’d tell
him they only had the penthouse available, and he could have it for half price
since it was sitting empty anyway. They’d send up complimentary fruit baskets
and give him free spa passes to ease his worried brow.
I laugh. The sad thing is that it’s closer to the truth than
I’d like to admit. Ronin is like… walking magic when it comes to life.
Everything he wants, he gets. People love him immediately. They don’t scowl at
him because he conjures up memories of almost blowing people up on the golf
course or electrocuting boys in the skate park bathroom, or for being the town
freak who read every book in the library, even the dictionary and the
encyclopedias.
I have had my share of women, albeit on my own very strict
no-touching terms. But Ronin has women throwing themselves at him everywhere he
goes.
It’s… it’s infuriating. He’s literally a professional liar,
for fuck’s sake, and all they see is sweet perfection. But when they look at me
they see freak.
I’m a goddamned movie producer. I know famous people. I have
a mountain home in Vail, a luxury condo in Denver, and a five-million-dollar
monstrosity on Mulholland Drive in Bel Air. I take care of myself, I’m well
educated, I’m not bad-looking. I’m sorta hot, actually. I know this,
I have no trouble finding sex when I want it.
And yet I get sluts. I swear. Sluts who don’t even blink
when I tell them they can’t touch me.
And Ronin? He gets Rook.
She does not give one fancy fuck what Ronin’s part in our
business is. Her exact words. Not one fancy fuck. She loves him, no matter
what. Unconditionally. She rode a thousand miles on a motorcycle back to the
place where the most horrific things happened to her, stole secret files, and
almost got her legs burned off in a house fire to save his professionally lying
ass.
And I get no-name pets who want me to bend them over a couch
and smack their pussy to make them come.
It’s just… what the fuck? Why? It’s like I have a sign on my
fucking head that says I like the weird ones.
