Ready For His Rule--A WILD Boys Novel (The WILD Boys of Special Forces Book 10) Read online

  READY FOR HIS RULE

  The WILD Boys of Special Forces – Book 10

  Are you ready?

  Angel Payne’s alpha military heroes, the WILD Boys of Special Forces, have swept away readers across the globe with their fierce passion and suspenseful adventures. The warriors of the First Special Forces Group come together in one final book, featuring the Dominant team leader everyone’s been waiting for…

  Captain John Franzen.

  Inside the lines…

  It’s the definition of life for Tracy Rhodes, and she has no choice about that. Lines—lots of them—are what happens when one is sworn in as second-in-command of the free world.

  But the lines are crushed beneath the boots of Captain John Franzen, assigned as a special advisor to her security team for a high-profile event in Las Vegas. The towering warrior with the haunted stare shatters her composure, invades her libido, and makes her yearn for things she shouldn’t. Sweaty, illicit things…with her body pinned beneath his…

  Outside the boundaries…

  John Franzen, six and a half feet of rigid composure on the outside, is a lost man on the inside. Why the hell is he even alive? A guy isn’t supposed to survive eleven years in Special Forces, especially after the crazy missions he’s been assigned. Accepting the security gig in Vegas is just a favor to a friend, a way to fill time that’s become too damn empty lately.

  Until the cushy “babysitting job” becomes the most treacherous mission of his life—and the politician he’s protecting becomes the woman in his bed. The lover beneath his bonds…

  The submissive he longs to claim forever.

  Breaking all the rules…

  She’s destined for marble halls and an oval office.

  He’s wired for dirt and violence.

  Will her passion be enough to tame his demons…to claim the ultimate wild boy as her own?

  About the Author

  ACKNOWLEGEMENTS

  Dear readers,

  Four years ago, I began this crazy, wilder-than-wild journey, inspired by my love of military heroes and a kernel of an idea based on a real-life couple I’d met at a Los Angeles book signing. That Dom and his wife became Garrett and Sage, the first lovers of the WILD Boys of Special Forces.

  With every new book, I swore the story would be the last of the series. (No…seriously!) These guys and their ladies have wrenched my soul, broken my heart, and kept the tissue companies super happy because of all the tears I’ve shed for them. But with every story, there seemed to be another waiting, burning at my spirit to tell.

  And then, of course, there was Keoni John Franzen—the battalion captain who refused to be silent. The wildest boy of them all, always whispering that he wouldn’t let me go until he got his own adventure and found his own amazing lady.

  I’m going to be honest. The idea of telling John’s story was so daunting, I originally thought I’d dash off a fast and dirty novella, just to get him to shut up. You can all stop laughing about that one now.

  With John’s story, I’m saying goodbye to the Boys with a mixture of laughter, tears, joy, and sorrow. They (and you!) have shown me that jumping into the big, scary pool of being a hybrid author was going to be kind of cool. And—gasp!—a little fun. And always, always, a passionate, pulsing, wonderful thrill ride I could have never imagined.

  From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in these books, and in the stories my spirit needed to tell with them. When I think of how far we’ve all come with the Boys, I’m simply blown away. How thankful I am for every single one of you, for believing in these amazing, beautiful heroes of my heart.

  I hope John and Tracy’s story is a beautiful conclusion to the series for you. As always, I have no words after this point—for my gratitude to all of you is beyond bounds, as well.

  ~Angel

  With Special, incredible thanks to the editing GODDESSES

  With more gratitude in my heart than I can ever express—

  The one who’s held my hand through it all—

  The Tracy with heart, beauty, brains, and spirit putting

  even this fictional one to shame…

  Tracy Roelle, you are such a gift to me from above.

  And as long as I’m bawling my eyes out…


  Victoria Blue, you are the touch point in my days…

  the keel who keeps me even…

  the friend I don’t deserve…

  but the goddess for whom I am so damn grateful, each and every day.

  Thank you for seeing my wildness and loving me anyway!

  The Boys have only been as good as their betas—

  and goddesses, I have no words (NONE!) to express how you have

  helped these stories—and the writing overall—become the absolute best they can be!

  THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART:

  To every single blogger and review team who took time out of your days and nights to not just read the books, but give them honest words of appraisal from your hearts…I am so indebted and grateful to you all. WHAT YOU DO IS AMAZING—and so much harder than it looks! If I tried naming everyone, it’d be a disaster and I’d feel awful about leaving some folks off. I just want you to know that I KNOW how hard you work, and the time you’ve carved out for the WILD Boys has never, ever gone unappreciated.

  An amazing, engulfing hug to Rachel Rivera,

  for bringing the series to life on every gorgeous cover.

  Your genius is beyond measure.

  So MANY hugs, and a few thousand cups of coffee I’ll never be able to repay,

  to the beautiful (inside and out!) Shannon Hunt,

  and the entire Once Upon an Alpha marketing team.

  NO WAY would I have kept my sanity without you—in so many more ways than one.

  I am so deeply indebted to you…for everything.

  THE MOST SPECIAL THANKS OF ALL…

  To the men and women heroically serving in all branches of our nation’s armed forces.

  Your sacrifices are never forgotten.

  PRAISE FOR ANGEL PAYNE’S STORIES…

  FOR THE WILD BOYS OF SPECIAL FORCES

  “Keeps you glued to your e-reader!”

  —The Jeep Diva

  “I found this was a book I just couldn’t put down. I got hooked from the beginning and then couldn’t stop reading.”

  —Love Romance Passion Reviews

  “The struggle they go through in finding their balance and loosening the needs within is pure beauty. Ms. Payne wraps the journey in suspense and thrills that will keep you turning the pages, intent not to miss a thing. This is one group of buddies I know I’ll enjoy getting rather acquainted with along with their daring partners as I make my way through the rest of The WILD Boys of Special Forces.”

  —Xtreme Delusions

  “Angel Payne delivers well-rounded characters, an action-packed storyline that is overflowing with passion, and above all, a love that overcomes and flourishes despite the darkness threatening to destroy the main characters. I cannot wait to meet and fall in love with more of the W.I.L.D. Boys.”

  —RAW Reviews

  “I am never disappointed with what Angel Payne brings to the table. I caught myself a couple of times holding my breath, and trying to read faster and faster. It was a very emotional read…a story of survival, growth, and love.”

  —Shayna Renee’s Spicy Reads

  “Well-written…overall, a magnificent book. I am hooked on this series!”

  —Night Owl Reviews

  “Grabbed hold of my heart and never let go. Thick with passion, smoldering looks, and red-hot dominant sex. I am anxious for the continuation of her addicting characters!”

  —RomFan Reviews

  “I really loved this book. Both of these characters are complicated, which makes for a great story, and it worked in such a suspenseful erotic romance. This is one hot and steamy read. I’m still waiting for the fog to clear on my Kindle!”

  —Delighted Reader Book Blog

  “Amazing from beginning to end…full of suspense and creativity…I also liked the little details that make the book more ‘real’ for me.”

  —Riverina Romantics

  “It was great! I loved the little bits of humor here and there. The heat was definitely turned up and will leave you very satisfied. The ending was great and there were a few surprises.”

  —Alpha Book Club

  “An enjoyable thrill ride with just the right amount of kinky sex…anyone who likes a good action novel, mystery and/or romance will find the story interesting and well-written. The love story is touching, realistic, heart-warming and very hot. With just the right amount of conflict between the two main characters, the story builds tension without overdoing angst.”

  —My Book Addiction Reviews

  “Certain things in life are absolutes: birth, death, taxes, and the fact that any book by Angel Payne will rock my world. The chemistry between these three will blow up your e-reader, but it’ll be worth every sweaty steamy moment!”

  —Sizzling Hot Books

  “Lava-hawt. The sexual heat is delicious. The characters…stand out with their quirky characteristics; their banter is both fun and sexual—lovely to read.”

  —The Romance Reviews

  “So many OMG moments! This book does not disappoint!”

  —Twinsie Talk Reviews

  “5 smoldering, seductive stars. Oh My Gahhh. Even though this is book 7 in the Wild Boys series, it is my first book by Angel Payne, and I see what I’ve been missing! Aside from the excellent writing, excellent editing, ease of reading and all around fabulous story…the characters have me frantic. Dan is such a complex character…and Tess, wow, how she desired him from afar, being nothing more than co-workers, and then coming to bat for him after his “accident” and helping him recuperate in the hospital. This is a tale of desire, a body’s need for Dominance/submission, and how not following your soul’s desire for honesty could mush up a great thing.”

  —Rachel Bound by Books

  “A beautiful story…They complete each other. Their story was definitely worth reading.”

  —Books Eater Blog

  “If you are looking for a hot read and a walk on the darker side, check out A WILDer Kind of Love. The familiar faces from the previous books in the series are present in varying degrees, but this story can absolutely be read as a standalone.”

  —Oh My Growing TBR Blog

  “5 Stars! A lot of heat…Tess was a real surprise to me. Her strength and drive to change her life are what brings Dan out of his dark world and into the light with her.”

  —Smut & Bonbons

  “OMG, what a book! This author pours her heart and soul into her books. You can just feel it.”

  —Kimmie Sue’s Book Reviews

  “Intense and breathtakingly raw.”

  —Niki’s Book Addiction

  FOR THE CIMARRON SAGA

  “This book has it all. Well, not murder. Or ghosts. Or zombies. But almost everything else. I’ve discovered with this discovery (whatever, it’s called repetition), that Angel is the master of writing a sizzling, yet humorous, yet super sexy, yet super romantic, yet engaging, yet emotional, yet thrilling love story. I’m impressed. Super impressed. AND… it’s a story about a prince. A PRINCE. I never thought I would like a princey book…but this prince is hot and alpha. One minute she is writing like a Harlequin romance; the next is old movie references with humorous one-liners. Then we hit emotional tears. Then we get to plain ol’ dirty dominant sex talk complete with “Master.” Wowza. Like I said… you get a little of everything in this one.”

  —LoveNBooks

  “Angel Payne weaves a modern fairytale that steals your heart and seeps deep into your soul.”

  —#1 New York Times Bestseller Audrey Carlan

  “I’m a big fan of Ms. Payne’s. It all started with the WILD Boys but she’s cemented herself to my heart with Into His Dark. It has everything you could hope for—passion, love, drama and so much heart.”

  —Sizzling Hot Book Reviews

  “A story
of forbidden passion, forbidden lust, forbidden love. Angel Payne singes the pages with seductive words, bringing tingles up my body and warmth to my heart.”

  —Shayna Renee’s Spicy Reads

  “Decadence equals novels written by Angel Payne.”

  —Lightning City Book Reviews

  “The imagery and descriptions make this an enthralling read.”

  —Wicked Reads Blog

  “A story about forbidden love that shows sometimes love is written by the fates…Into His Dark will have you wishing the island was real, so you can experience the beauty firsthand.”

  —My Secret Romance Reviews

  “You. Do. Not. Want. To. Put. This. Down.”

  —Twinsie Talk Book Reviews

  “This series continues to win my heart with each new installment and I absolutely cannot wait for more!”

  —Oh My Growing TBR Blog

  “Payne has created a beautiful if isolated world on Arcadia that is completely different from anything Cam and her friends have ever encountered. The backstory of Arcadia is woven into the plot and makes the circumstances surrounding Cam and Evrest all the more interesting. These two may be smoking hot and so very clearly made for one another but there are many, many factors that each has to consider before taking their union beyond the bedroom. I found each factor to be as interesting as the next, I found some surprises in this read and, I found all of the characters (except Cam’s ex, he’s a tool!) to be entertaining, interesting and, fully developed. The sex is great but it doesn’t overshadow the plot or the characters and is certainly appropriate to the overall story. (It’s good and dirty, in case you are wondering.) The read is well worth it!”

  —Rolo Polo Book Blog

  FOR THE TEMPTATION COURT SERIES

  “I’m so damned hooked on this new spin off series of Angel Payne’s! Gah! Twist city. Payne takes the reader on a journey that is unexpected and downright special. I love the intrigue of a woman raised on an archaic island now has to find herself in the Big Apple. The wonder and excitement of this series can be felt on every page and with every breath the reader takes. Angel Payne’s gift with words shines so bright it’s blinding. Absolutely cannot wait for more.”
