The Dom Who Came in from the Cold


 
 
 
 
 
 
 Praise for Lexi Blake and Masters and Mercenaries...
 
 “I can always trust Lexi Blake's Dominants to leave me
 breathless...and in love. If you want sensual, exciting BDSM wrapped in an
 awesome love story, then look for a Lexi Blake book.”

 “Lexi Blake's MASTERS AND MERCENARIES series is beautifully
 written and deliciously hot. She's got a real way with both action and sex. I
 also love the way Blake writes her gorgeous Dom heroes--they make me want to do
 bad, bad things. Her heroines are intelligent and gutsy ladies whose taste for
 submission definitely does not make them dish rags. Can't wait for the next
 book!”
 
 ~Angela Knight, New
 York Times Bestselling author
 
 
 
 “A Dom is Forever is action packed, both in the bedroom and
 out. Expect agents, spies, guns, killing and lots of kink as Liam goes after
 the mysterious Mr. Black and finds his past and his future… The action and
 espionage keep this story moving along quickly while the sex and kink provides
 a totally different type of interest. Everything is very well balanced and
 flows together wonderfully.”
 
 ~A Night Owl “Top
 Pick”, Terri, Night Owl Erotica
 
 
 
 “A Dom Is Forever is everything that is good in erotic
 romance. The story was fast-paced and suspenseful, the characters were flawed
 but made me root for them every step of the way, and the hotness factor was off
 the charts mostly due to a bad boy Dom with a penchant for dirty talk.”

 “A good read that kept me on my toes, guessing until the big
 reveal, and thinking survival skills should be a must for all men.”

 “I can’t get enough of the Masters and Mercenaries Series!
 Love and Let Die is Lexi Blake at her best! She writes erotic romantic suspense
 like no other, and I am always extremely excited when she has something new for
 us! Intense, heart pounding, and erotically fulfilling, I could not put this
 book down.”

 “Certain authors and series are on my auto-buy list. Lexi
 Blake and her Masters & Mercenaries series is at the top of that list...
 this book offered everything I love about a Masters & Mercenaries book –
 alpha men, hot sex and sweet loving… As long as Ms. Blake continues to offer
 such high quality books, I’ll be right there, ready to read.”

 “I have absolutely fallen in love with this series. Spies,
 espionage, and intrigue all packaged up in a hot dominant male package. All the
 men at McKay-Taggart are smoking hot and the women are amazingly strong sexy
 submissives.”

 Acknowledgments
 
 I thought a lot about second chances as I wrote this book.
 In romance the trope refers to two people getting a second chance at love, but
 the idea is bigger. In life, that second chance doesn’t have to involve the
 same person—though this one does. Sometimes our second chance is about
 acknowledging that what we are doing does not work. Sometimes our second chance
 involves getting out of a toxic situation. It could be facing a truth we tried
 to hide from. Some of us have to deal with
