  A WILDer Kind of Love

  The WILD Boys of Special Forces

  Book 7

  By Angel Payne

  The WILD Boys are back. USA Today Bestseller Angel Payne continues the hotter-than-hot series with this sensual story featuring CIA special agent Daniel Colton.

  A scarred hero…

  Dan Colton was once the CIA’s golden boy, a get-things-done cowboy who believed forgiveness was better to ask for than permission. But performing the devil’s work was always easy with his angel’s face, a good asset to have whether he was charming Agency superiors…or training submissives in his darkest dungeon role plays.

  Until his face was taken away.

  An act of ultimate bravery has turned Dan into a bitter, burned shell, unsure of how to relate to the world without his physical calling card. His only condolence is dreaming of revenge on the bastard responsible for the fire that disfigured him, but when that plan backfires, he is a beast without any prey—tormented by a beauty he cannot touch.

  A willing submissive…

  Tess Lesange, known around the CIA’s Vegas office as “The Laser”, has only one Achilles heel—in the form of the brooding agent who once wouldn’t give her the time of day. Since Dan Colton’s accident, they’ve become friends, even trusting each other with some of their kinkier secrets. What are friends for, right?

  Wrong.

  A dangerous masquerade…

  Now Dan has become Tess’s greatest joy, toughest torment, and most sinful desire. Thoughts of surrendering to his passionate brand of domination consume her more and more…but it’s clear Dan thinks of her as nothing more than the brainy analyst in the next office over.

  Still seeking the submissive dream, Tess takes matters into her own hands and journeys in disguise to one of the desert’s most elicit kink clubs. When the Dominant she meets there is also behind a mask, his voice so alluring and familiar, she wonders if karma has conspired to fulfill one of her deepest fantasies…and what price she’ll have to pay for it come true. Is she willing to sacrifice everything she’s built in a friendship with Dan, for one night in his dungeon?

  —RomFan Reviews

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!”

These books are similar to the ‘Shadowlands’ series, but I have to say if Ms. Payne keeps it up, they’ll be just as popular. I gladly give this book 5 stars.”

  —Delighted Reader Reviews

  “Ethan Archer is an absolutely amazing man. He can take down a drug smuggler with only his words, and can make a girl embrace her submissive side with just a look. He is that good. Ava knows that one command from him, and she’s putty in his hands. But how can she say no to the man she craves and the Dom who brings her to her knee? There is such a visceral need and a raw intensity between these two that you feel it in your gut and in your heart. Five stars!”

  Chapter One

  ‡

  It was going to be a breathtaking fall sunset in Red Rock Canyon. The birds still sang in a cloudless sky. Awakened by recent rains, the wind was still redolent with desert lilies, poppies, agave, and cholla blossoms. The air was cool but not cold. On a ranch in the valley below, a band played Can’t Help Falling In Love With You for the crowd at a wedding reception in full swing. Appropriate, given that the lights of the Las Vegas strip had just started to glitter in the distance.

  “Good night to be alive. But an even better one to be dead, I reckon.
”

  Daniel Colton glanced toward the source of the comment. His buddy, Special Ops Master Sergeant Tait Bommer, added a cheerful whistle to it while sharpening a wicked battle knife. The last rays of the day’s sun glinted off the steel as Bommer checked the blade, flashing the dying rays of the sun into the eyes of the man who was bound and gagged in the dirt at their feet.

  Dan grunted. “Wouldn’t know the difference.”

  Tait nodded. Though he added a quick frown, he kept the expression to himself. Dan didn’t need the guy’s goddamn empathy, pity, attempt at understanding, or whatever the fuck they wanted to call it. His face was a freak show, end of discussion. He refused to “process” anything further than that. Didn’t want to re-hash the mission in which he’d “selflessly saved a woman’s life” in a fire that should’ve killed her and him. Didn’t want to talk about the months of burn therapy that made him wish he really had died—or the face that caused most people to think he was already half a corpse.

  Best to just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

  And looking forward to moments like this.

  The sole advantage to being half Freddy Krueger was that a guy could go anywhere he wanted and do even more. Eyeballs on the guest roster at a Mexican Rivera resort known for its high security? No problem. The Ken doll side of his face, flashed at the right angle, charmed the front desk agent enough to turn it over. Getting past the guards at Cameron Stock’s suite? Presto magico. Out came the burned monster, long enough to remind the assholes what they’d look like as worm food, allowing him to slip in with two hired goons and make off with Stock before anyone noticed.

  By the time Stock’s henchmen realized their boss was gone, Dan had the ass-wad drugged, tied, and loaded onto a private transport helo, charted for a direct flight here. The timing was advantageous. Tait was already out in the canyon, playing best man at his brother Shay’s wedding at Spring Mountain Ranch. Dan threw a stare over at the lights of the celebration, where the Elvis tune was followed by the Cha Cha Slide. He imagined the faces of so many friends in that glow, happy and smiling—and very relieved they didn’t have to look at him, the burned husk serving as a reminder of the off-books operation that had nearly killed them all.
