King is a no-nonsense businessman with a charming streak and stunning
looks to match, but when he leaves the office he becomes a ruthless
crime boss with a bad temper. When a chance encounter with a beautiful
stranger brings an awakening to his arctic soul, his foundations are
shaken to the core, and a desire to have her at whatever cost creates an
unquenchable thirst. When he realizes he is not the only one seeking
Kinsley’s heart, nor is he the only one harboring a dangerous obsession,
Klive decides to put his murderous talent to good use in honor of a
woman who has no clue she has earned his twisted fealty. However, as his
insatiable thirst for her increases, so does his resentment as
Kinsley’s sweet light also reveals a darkness that speaks to his own,
drawing out the most dangerous and primal parts of his being that could
prove deadly to the one he wants most.
Sweet Dreams (Vol.#2)
With an unbeatable college track career and her masters degree on the horizon, Kinsley James hardly focuses on anything else. Her fierce determination and ambition have achieved amazing feats, which prove there is great reward for her ability to remain focused. However, when her attraction to an old friend crosses a line her heart and soul have drawn for years, he and his best friend take her places she would never dare venture. As a result she finds herself caught between two men and an internal battle as carnal longings the likes of which she has always avoided threaten to show a side of herself that has been undiscovered. With the unleashing of desires previously unexplored and forbidden, her morality is turned on its head, leaving her scrambling to make sense of the chaos that stirs within. She has no idea that amidst it all she has caught the eye of one of the most notoriously dangerous men this side of the country with a deceptively charming streak that leaves her heart racing and her nerves singing with every meeting.
After
being harassed, a co-worker baring a striking resemblance to her is
murdered, and Kinsley realizes her safety may be hanging in the balance.
Protection comes in the most unexpected of forms, but could uncover an
even more sinister danger. Soon she will learn that not everything
around her is what it seems, and that those closest could be keeping
dangerous secrets that pertain to her life.
Dangerous Games (Vol.#3)
In
the third installment of Don't Close Your Eyes, Klive's fears are
realized when he unwittingly discovers Kinsley has learned his dark
secret. His indecision escalates as she becomes increasingly dangerous
to everything he has worked for years to keep under wraps. Coupled with
his suspicions over Jase Taylor's motives where Nightshade is concerned,
Klive is on edge and itching for his gun. As a result, Klive begins a
deadly game of cat and mouse with his pretty redhead.
With
the truth about "TDH" revealed, Kinsley's love triangle with Jase and
Keane seems trivial by comparison to the threat Klive King now poses to
her life. Convinced that Klive has allowed one of his Nightshade members
to get away with the murder of her friend, Kinsley seeks to exploit
Klive's weakness to tear down her disgusting opponent. Knowing the
affect she has on him makes for easy manipulation tactics, but the
further she dives in, the more the war grows within herself as she
fights the urge to believe there is more to Klive than meets the eye.
As
mutual tension expands between them, the ultimate challenge morphs into
fighting the undeniable and sometimes volatile chemistry that threatens
to destroy the balance of both of their lives.
Hostile Takeover (Vol. #4)
With
her heart in shambles after her breakup with Jase, Kinsley’s
frustration continues as Jase inadvertently makes things worse. Finding
it a bit difficult to simply forgive and forget, Kinsley willingly falls
prey to Klive’s undeniable charm as he shamelessly attempts to woo her.
When Klive’s Nightshade persona threatens to ruin his progress,
Kinsley’s unwitting ability to tame him sparks a fealty that urges him
to take a leap of faith and make an ultimate play for her heart. As a
result, the two breach a barrier that causes an explosion of chemistry
that only intensifies with each passing liaison until neither can deny
their insatiable need for one another.
When
a good friend stumbles upon the truth, Kinsley realizes where her
loyalties lie. Knowing Klive will not tolerate exposure to his double
life, Kinsley must try to keep Klive in the dark in order to keep her
friend’s life intact. However, when lying to a man she has no business
caring so much for begins to feel wrong, she realizes that fighting for
Klive is the only thing that feels right.

In
part five of the DCYE Series, Klive decides to take the ultimate chance
on an exit strategy despite his nagging intuition where Jase is
concerned. When it seems clear that Kinsley cannot get over her guilt in
leaving Jase to be with him, Klive ousts her from his life with the
goal of doing what's best for the woman he loves, rather than relishing
his selfish desires. As a result, King also expels Jase from Nightshade,
thereby bringing Jase's case to a screeching halt. Unable to hide his
irritation, Jase also pushes Kinsley away, and both men leave Kinsley
picking up the pieces whilst dealing with the emotional toll of her
recent attack.
Taking
a step back from everything, Kinsley searches her soul to find clarity
in an otherwise blurry situation, and what she discovers only deepens
her attachment to Klive. However as Klive grows even more distant and
discouraged in his trappings, Kinsley's painful past begins to replay
itself, and losing the one she loves is no longer an option she's
willing to accept. Throwing caution to the wind, Kinsley overlooks all
of the obstacles and flaws Klive's life presents to ultimately prove
he's worth fighting for.
In
the sixth installment of the Don't Close Your Eyes Series, as Kinsley
takes a break from the heavy with Klive for some fun distraction by
becoming Miller's Muse, Adrian immediately sets about taming Kinsley's
wild streak and begins to teach her to harness her emotions. As their
friendship grows, it becomes clear that Adrian and Klive have ties that
run deeper than they are letting on, and Kinsley is convinced Adrian may
be just the key to unlocking Klive's secrets and possibly setting
Jase's case back in motion, not to mention setting the one she loves
free. However, as her interest is piqued, Adrian's suspicions of Kinsley
and Jase's motives won't cease, leading Adrian to prove where his
loyalties lie.
Soon
Kinsley's fun turns into a quest to prove she's got what it takes to
face anything Klive may be up against for the one she loves, but fate
has a twisted sense of humor as her past comes surging to the present
for the ultimate face off.
All I Ask (Vol.#7)
In
the seventh installment of the DCYE Series, relief at James' departure
is short-lived as an unexpected attempt is made on Kinsley's life. When
Klive learns the hit has been handed down by none other than his very
own leadership with help from a friendly foe, Klive steps in to take
care of business in the most lethal way he knows how.
Soon,
the lines of morality begin to blur when Kinsley and Jase assist Klive
in ways they never imagined. With Kinsley's spirit riddled in guilt,
Adrian works to keep Kinsley focused on Klive's ultimate goal of freedom
in her honor, but Klive's ultimate plan of freedom provokes Jase into
confessing who he really is.
As
tensions mount, and deception ensues, Klive refuses to allow his
problems to keep him from taking the next step in order to ultimately
claim Kinsley. As a result, Kinsley decides to man up and unite with
Klive as he prepares her to come face-to-face with the foes who want her
dead.
Retaliation (Vol. #8)
With
all of their recent media attention and happy news, Klive expects
Nightshade leadership to back off he and his sweet bride-to-be, but as
Kinsley begins to plan their shotgun wedding, retaliation may be afoot.
As Jase keeps personal watch over not only Kinsley, but Klive, it
becomes clear that someone close to them has taken it upon themselves to
expose the truth to Kinsley's parents, and while Jase intercepts one
attempt, the next blows everything wide open with potential devestation.
Left with no other choice, Klive faces leadership head-on in a ploy to
pit them against one another, but as running from the dangers they
represent becomes too hazardous to everyone he loves, he stops in order
to accept the deadly consequences he is due for his misconduct as a way
to restore their ultimate safety. As Jase races to save Klive's life, he
fears that his beloved Kinsley may be planning a wedding in vain, and
he may be forced to fill King's shoes for the potential permanent
absence that may be in store for her.
Sexy Danger (Vol.#9)
While
Klive attempts to settle into his new way of life after having been
freed of Nightshade and law enforcement threats, the only battle he
looks forward to is trying to keep Kinsley from finding out it ever
happened. Setting about on ways to spoil and distract his lovely
bride-to-be seems to be working until an unexpected source brings
trouble in ways he never expected. As their entire relationship is
tested on new levels, Klive simply prays that he will still have a
wedding day to look forward to as he tries to prevent fatal damage that
threatens to tear them apart before they can even begin.
Kingdom Come (Vol.#10)
He faced death for her. She fought for him. They began as enemies and became inseparable lovers.
With
the ceremony that seals their union, Klive and Kinsley are excited by
the prospect of a mundane life that equates to bliss by comparison to
the things they have faced in such a short time. However, there is no
question their love is a power they repeatedly wield come what may, but a
stunning betrayal proves that Klive and Kinsley are only too human, and
mortality has an expiration.
About the Author: Lynessa James
I
write twisted erotic romance, and I'm not typically a hit it-n-quit it
type of girl, nor am I traditional. Personally, when I read, I want to
feel the emotion and sensation, so I expect nothing less of my own work.
However controversial, sometimes even disturbing or offensive, if only
one reader shares my love for these beautiful, yet flawed characters
and situations as much as I do, then it's all been worth sharing. I'm
not everyone's taste, but you may find my particular flavor makes you
crave more.
