KISS OF HEAT

Lora Leigh

For Sondrea and Terry. For hours of Internet tech support and for understanding

just how computer dumb I could be. And as always, thank you for the friendship.

Kiss of Heat

Prologue

Sandy Hook

Sherra stood silently in the shadows of the motel, watching carefully, her eyes

narrowed as the nine men parted company and went to their respective rooms. They

were furious, but one was coldly dangerous. She had watched them at the airport after

dropping Doc off at the safe house, then followed them to Sandy Hook and watched as

they checked in.

Kane didn’t remind her of Merinus in any way. He was darker-haired, the color

nearly black, with intense, cold blue eyes. His strong jaw and high cheekbones gave a

hint to Native American ancestry; his hard, graceful body hinted at extensive military

training. She knew the look, the way a killer moved. She had grown up among them,

been raped by them more than once. But this one, she knew personally.

This man had brought her pleasure. Despite her pleas, despite her wishes to the

contrary, he had taken her beneath the unfeeling eye of a camera, riding her from one

climax to the next, his lust fueled by hers, and hers by his touch.

Had it only been seven years ago? Sweet heaven, that night tormented her, even

now, as though it had happened only yesterday. The dark soldier who had sworn to

help her, to rescue her. He had come to her, holding freedom in one hand, her heart in

the other, and spent the night teaching her the pleasures of her woman’s body. When he

left, he never returned. But the doctors had. They had returned to her cell with the

video they had taped of the night she spent with him. They had snickered at the things

Kane Tyler had done to her, that she had done to him, all in the name of science. Rape

had not impregnated her. They had wondered if pleasure would.

Her hands clenched into fists of rage as Kane lingered outside his room, lazily

finishing a cigarette he had lit moments earlier. She wanted to kill him now. She had

sworn she would kill him if she ever found him again. Sworn she would see to it that he

paid for every moment of pain she suffered all those years ago. She had sworn he

would pay for lying to her, and for doing it so easily without her knowledge. He had

betrayed her, just as he had betrayed his sister.

His expression hardened when the last door finally closed and he was left alone

with her.

“Where’s Merinus?” His voice was savage, pulsating with a fury that sent a frisson

of unease through her body. How had he known she was there, watching him, waiting?

“And why the fuck weren’t we met at the airport as promised?”

“I have a better question,” she said from the safety of the shadows. “Why would a

brother betray a sister he swears to love on the eve of promised help?”
