Best Friend's Father #2
by
Ayden K. Morgen
Genre:
Contemporary Romance
Two
weeks.
No
strings attached.
No
messy emotions.
Those
were the terms Mila Lawson offered Roman Gregory when they found
themselves living together in Santa Cruz. Now that the ATF agent has
his daughter's twenty-two year old best friend in his bed every
night, he's finding it more and more difficult to deny what he's felt
for her since the day they met.
With
a drug cartel threatening to go to war and his daughter becoming
increasingly suspicious, the last thing Roman should be thinking
about is keeping Mila by his side. He's never wanted much, but he
wants her...and he's willing to break more than a few of his own
rules to convince the feisty little blonde to put her heart in his
hands.
For
Mila, falling for Roman might just be the most terrifying thing she's
ever done. Trusting him with her body is one thing, but with her past
still hanging over her, she knows all too well that the scary-hot man
who drives her wild has the power to destroy her.
As
their time in Santa Cruz draws to a close and the world beyond their
little stretch of beach closes in on them, Roman and Mila will be
forced to confront the truth about their relationship and make
decisions neither could have imagined.
But
who ever said falling in love would be easy?
Destroy
Me is the second of three
steamy
novellas featuring Mila and Roman.

Devour
Me
Her
Best Friend's Father #1
Don't
get caught.
Never
fall in love.
And
steer clear of his daughter's friends.
The
rules were easy enough for Roman Gregory...until Mila Lawson set
out to break every single one of them.
When the twenty-two
year old lands on the ATF agent's doorstep after a nasty breakup, he
knows all too well that she's off-limits. At thirty-eight,
he's almost twice her age, she's hurting, and the blonde
bombshell is his daughter's best friend.
Mila knows all
about wanting what she can't have. For four years, she's lusted
after Talia McPherson's scary hot, terminally single father from
afar. After walking away from her cheating ex and what she thought
was her happily-ever-after, the last thing on her mind is
jumping into a new relationship.
Until
she find herself living with Roman in Santa Cruz...
Now
all she can think about is making all those dirty fantasies come to
life. With nothing left to lose, she makes him an offer he
can't refuse: Two weeks of no-holds-barred sex. No strings. No
commitments. No messy emotions.
Roman has no business agreeing
to her insane proposition. He can't have her. He shouldn't even want
her. But he's going to take her anyway... and he has no intentions of
stopping until she's his completely.
If
there's one thing Roman knows for a fact, it's that he doesn't lose.
Ever.

Destroy
Me: Fun Facts
When
I first started to write Roman and Mila's story, I had no plans to
actually write an entire series of novellas. Roman appears as an
important secondary character in Rapture (The Teplo
Trilogy #3). He's this badass ATF agent who helps Tristan Riley
throughout the course of that novel. I wanted to get to know him so I
could better understand how his backstory leads him into hooking up
with Tristan to kick major ass.
Turns
out…Roman has his own very interesting story. Not only do he and
Tristan share a common enemy, but they've been working the same case
from two very different angles. The more I learned about Roman and
his story, the more I liked him and Mila. I couldn't resist finishing
his story.
Here
are a few other fun facts about his story!
- The covers for Devour Me and Destroy Me are actually two different sides of the same photograph. For Devour Me, we used the left half of the photo. For Destroy Me, we used the right. I love the way they turned out!
- Because Roman spent most of his adult life working with the ATF's Gang Taskforce, trying to keep guns out of the hands of gang members, some of what I already knew about gangs and gang violence naturally found its way into his story. I grew up in California during the gang wars of the 1990s, and still remember the chaos and fear they caused. When my family moved to Arkansas when I was a teenager, we lived in a very poor area and I saw another side of that coin. My younger sister and I got to know many of the gang members in our neighborhood really well.
- The titles for the books in the series all come from something one of the characters says or thinks during the course of the series.
- Trying to write the steamier scenes in this series with police officers constantly in and out of the room was incredibly awkward! I had to write everything by hand and then type it up later because I just couldn't do it. Luckily, I love to write by hand, so it worked out well in the end.
- I spent quite a lot of time learning about cartels in Mexico and South America during my college and grad school years. In some areas, being sentenced to prison as a cartel associate is a walk in the park. They're very well taken care of inside prisons, so the threat of being locked up doesn't always serve as much of a deterrent. Being able to put some of that knowledge to use in Roman's story was a lot of fun.
- Roman curses a lot. But it's still probably less than most of the cops and dispatchers I know! Seriously. We're all foul-mouthed and wildly inappropriate.
- I hesitated to publish this series at all when I finished it. My dad is married to my older sister's best friend. Their story is nothing like Roman and Mila's, but I worried that family and friends would draw parallels that don't really exist. My husband is the one who finally talked me into taking the plunge so readers could see just how Roman fits into Tristan's world.
- Speaking of husbands, I love that Roman is a monster of a man! My husband is 6'8". Most of my male characters are pretty tall, but it made me happy to finally have one almost as tall as my husband.
- Roman is named after Rome from The Fast and Furious franchise. I fell in love with the name. It didn't hurt that I have a huge crush on Tyrese Gibson. Have you ever heard him sing? Phew!
- Mila is named after Mila Kunis. I've loved her name since the first time I heard it.
- The peaches references are for one of my best friends, Marita, and I still haven't told her about them! I'm waiting for her to find them on her own.
