Calen’s Captive by Lucy Leroux
***99¢ release day sale ends Feb 18th.***
Calen is a good man from a bad family. He’s worked hard for success, but something’s missing…or rather, someone.
Calen is the son of an Irish mobster, but he’s rejected his legacy and has made a name for himself as a club owner. After years of hard work, he has the life he’s always wanted. Almost.
Then his father asks him to take a meeting with a rival crew. It’s too important to say no. Reluctantly, he drives out to the middle of nowhere to meet them. There to negotiate for reparations, he sees an innocent girl being held against her will—someone who looks very familiar.
Unwilling to leave the girl to a fate worse than death, he demands she be included as part of the deal. Maia is forced to stay with Calen for her safety, but she soon finds out he has ulterior motives for protecting her.
***Calen’s Captive is the second book in the Singular Obsession Series. No cliffhangers and no serials. Each novel stands alone. Though it flirts with some bondage, Calen’s Captive is not a BDSM title. Not suitable for readers under 18.***

What inspired you to write your book?
Other books! Especially the ones that never seemed to go the way I wanted. That’s when I decided I needed to be in the driver’s seat.
Here is a short sample from the book:
“I thought we would stop somewhere for dinner to celebrate your first day back,” he said, stopping his discussion to look at her.
She beamed, delighted to see him. “Sounds great.”
His eyes were warm as he kissed her forehead before returning to his call. From his side of the conversation, she assumed he was talking to one of his alcohol distributors. Maia sat next to him silently, only half-listening as she took advantage of his distraction to study him without his awareness.
Then his hand drifted to her thigh while he spoke, stroking just under her hemline. When his fingers inched up, shifting her skirt up, she shot a nervous glance to the front seat where Davis was driving. Thankfully the privacy partition was up.
Calen didn’t seem to realize what he was doing to her as the car crawled through rush hour traffic. His hand drifted up and down over her, baring more of her thigh to his touch. Heat pooled between her legs, and she squeezed them shut, trying to stop the sudden ache.
Embarrassed, Maia realized she was getting wet, but Calen didn’t stop as he continued to haggle with his distributor. Then his hand shifted to caress her inner thigh. He was teasing her—intentionally.
Oh God.
Maia bit down on her lip as Calen’s roving hand moved up to her panties, his fingers running over the cloth covering her already moist lips and sensitive clit. When his thumb pressed down on the hidden button, she couldn’t suppress a whimper. Calen smiled and removed his hand for an instant to put a finger to his lips.
“Shh,” he whispered before resuming his conversation.
