more than he did Sophie.

more than he did Sophie.

How long had he dreamed of holding her? Too many years

to keep count. And yet, he’d never had a clue just how

incredibly good she would feel in his arms, her dangerous curves

pressed into him, her chest rising and faling against his arms.

“I’m not going to let you go until you promise me you’l stay

away from him.”

Now it was her turn to say, “No.”

He shifted his hand enough to slip a finger beneath her chin

and turn her face so that he could look into her eyes. “Promise

me, Sophie. It’s for your own good.”

Sophie yanked her face away from his hand, then her

whole body, and when she turned to face him head-on, her eyes

were flashing. “I can’t believe
you
just said that! Especialy since

you of al people have
no idea whatsoever
what’s good for

me.”

“Wanna bet?”

His mouth was on hers before he could put the brakes on

his desire.

CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE

Gabe & Megan – The Sulivans #3

© 2012 Bela Andre

Gabe Sullivan risks his life every day as a firefighter in San

Francisco. But after learning a brutal lesson about

professional boundaries, he knows better than to risk his

heart to his fire victims ever again. Especially the brave

mother and daughter he saved from a deadly apartment

fire...and can't stop thinking about.

Megan Harris knows she owes the heroic firefighter

everything for running into a burning building to save her

and her seven-year-old daughter. Everything except her

heart. Because after losing her navy pilot husband five years

ago, she has vowed to never suffer through loving - and

losing - a man with a dangerous job again.

Only, when Gabe and Megan meet again and uncontrollable

flames of desire ignite between them, how can he possibly

ignore her courage, determination, and beauty? And how

can she deny not only his strong bond with her daughter…

but the way his sweetly sensual kisses are challenging her to

risk everything she’s been guarding for so long?

If one - or both - of them aren’t careful, they just might end

up falling in love.

up falling in love.

Enjoy the following excerpt for CAN’T HELP FALLING

IN LOVE...

Gabe Sulivan’s captain stepped into the room.

“How’re you feeling, Gabe?”

“Good, Captain.”

He moved to sit up straighter on the bed and Todd shook

his head. “You’re fine just like that. I know your skul must hurt

like hel.” He nodded back to the doorway. “Are you ready to

see Ms. Harris and her daughter, Summer?”

No,
he thought,
he’d be better off never seeing those

eyes again.

He’d thought about Megan and her daughter one too many

times for comfort. Not just because he was reviewing the rescue,

trying to look for what he could have done differently, to have

gotten them out faster and more safely—but because he hadn’t

been able to forget her strength, how hard she’d fought to stay

conscious, and what a fighter she’d been every single second of

the harrowing journey from her burning apartment.

Stil, he understood that fire victims often felt compeled to

say thank you to the men who had saved them. Especialy in a

case like this, where they’d just barely held death at bay.

“Sure.” He began to nod, but a sharp shooting pain

stopped him halfway into the movement.

Catching his grimace, Todd said, “I’l ask Megan and her

daughter to come back later.”

daughter to come back later.”

Her name fit her, Gabe had found himself thinking one too

many times.
Megan
was pretty and strong al at the same time. It

would be better to think of her as Ms. Harris. Although, he had

to wonder, was there a husband? And if so, where had he been

during the fire and why wasn’t he here with them now?

“No,” he said, “it’l be better if I see them now.”

She’d say thank you, he’d tel her he was happy to see her

and her daughter doing so wel, and that would be that. No more

being haunted by her eyes, by the surprising strength she’d

shown him as she’d crawled on the floor of her apartment and

down the stairs.

A couple of minutes later, Todd walked back in with the

mother and daughter. Ignoring the pain in his head, Gabe sat up

higher and forced a smile on his face.

And then, his eyes locked with Megan’s and his smile froze

in place.

My God
, he found himself thinking before he could shove

the thought away,
she’s beautiful.

The last time he’d seen her face it had been through a thick

haze of dark smoke and the knowledge that one wrong move

meant their lives were over. Her eyes were just as big and pretty,

her limbs looked as lean and strong as they had when he’d been

helping to move her along the floor, but now he could see the

softness in her, the sweet curves of her breasts and hips in her T-

shirt and jeans. He couldn’t stop staring at the startling green of

her eyes, the silky dark hair faling across her shoulders, and the

way her pretty young daughter was a carbon copy of her, the

only difference their hair color, one dark, one light.

She seemed just as stunned as he and for a long moment,

the two of them just stared at each other in silence until her

daughter ran over to him and threw her arms around him.

“Thank you for saving me and Mommy.”

The little girl’s arms were just as strong as her mother’s.

“You’re welcome, Summer. How old are you?”

“I turn seven on Saturday.”

She beamed at him and right then and there he lost a little

piece of his heart to the pretty little girl with the two missing front

teeth.

“Happy birthday.” He’d have to remember to have the

station send her a gift.

Movement caught his attention from the corner of his eye.

Megan was moving closer to him and, yet again, once he looked

up at her, he couldn’t seem to pul his gaze away. Without

realizing what he was doing, he scanned her left hand for a

wedding band and found it bare.

“Mr. Sulivan, I can’t even begin to tel you how much what

you did means to me.”

He almost told her to cal him Gabe, but he knew his name

would sound way too good coming from her ful lips. Already his

brain was wanting to spin off into a fantasy of what it would

sound like to hear her say his name in distinctly different

circumstances, with one less child and fire captain in the

room...and a hel of a lot less clothes.

FROM THIS MOMENT ON

Marcus & Nicola ~ The Sulivans #2

© 2012 Bela Andre

For thirty-six years, Marcus Sullivan has been the

responsible older brother, stepping in to take care of his

seven siblings after their father died when they were

children. But when the perfectly ordered future he's planned

for himself turns out to be nothing but a lie, Marcus needs

one reckless night to shake free from it all.

Nicola Harding is known throughout the world by only one

name - Nico - for her catchy, sensual pop songs. Only, what

no one knows about the twenty-five year old singer is that

her sex-kitten image is totally false. After a terrible betrayal

by a man who loved fame far more than he ever loved her,

she vows not to let anyone else get close enough to find out

who she really is...or hurt her again. Especially not the

gorgeous stranger she meets at a nightclub, even though the

gorgeous stranger she meets at a nightclub, even though the

hunger - and the sinful promises - in his dark eyes make her

want to spill all her secrets.

One night is all Nicola and Marcus agree to share with each

other. But nothing goes as they plan when instead of simply

tangling limbs, they find a deeper connection than either of

them could have anticipated. And even though they both try

to fight it, growing emotions - and sizzling attraction - keep

drawing them closer together.

Close enough for them to wonder if stealing one more secret

moment together can ever be enough?

THE LOOK OF LOVE

Chase & Chloe – The Sulivans # 1

© 2012 Bela Andre

Chloe Peterson is having a bad night. A really bad night.

The large bruise on her cheek can attest to that. And when

her car skids off the side of a wet country road straight into

a ditch, she’s convinced even the gorgeous guy who rescues

her in the middle of the rain storm must be too good to be

true. Or is he?

true. Or is he?

As a successful photographer who frequently travels around

the world, Chase Sullivan has his pick of beautiful women,

and whenever he’s home in San Francisco, one of his seven

siblings is usually up for causing a little fun trouble. Chase

thinks his life is great just as it is—until the night he finds

Chloe and her totaled car on the side of the road in Napa

Valley. Not only has Chase never met anyone so lovely, both

inside and out, but he quickly realizes Chloe has much

bigger problems than her damaged car. Soon, Chase is

willing to move mountains to love—and protect—her, but

will Chloe let him?

Chloe vows never to make the mistake of trusting a man

again. Only, with every loving look Chase gives her—and

every sinfully sweet caress—as the attraction between them

sparks and sizzles, she can’t help but wonder if she’s met the

only exception. And although Chase didn’t realize his life

was going to change forever in an instant, amazingly, he

isn’t the least bit interested in fighting that change. Instead,

he’s gearing up for a different fight altogether…for Chloe’s

heart.
