About this eBook

Partners…with benefits.


Your partner knows your secrets. Your partner watches your back. Your partner…is the star of your fantasies?


Linc Dalton knows that he is supposed to keep his hands off his partner…well, unless he is protecting Blair Kincaid’s gorgeous body. She’s his partner at an elite security and protection firm. Their job is to guard the wealthy, to take out the bad guys, and to generally kick butt. He trusts Blair completely. He admires her strength and courage. And he wants her desperately. Not that he ever intends to let her know that fun fact. Instead, he keeps up a fake persona where he offers her jokes and flippant comments.


Blair is straight-laced. By-the-book. Always by-the-book. Linc likes things a bit wilder. Control isn’t his strong suit, but, with a massive effort, he’s kept his control in place around Blair. With Blair, he’s on his best behavior…


Until he isn’t. Until they get a new case. Until they have to go undercover as lovers.


And, suddenly, Linc has to put his hands on Blair’s delectable form. He has to stay very close to her. Has to whisper sweet promises to her. Has to share the same bed with Blair. It’s just a cover story. He’s not really in love with her…except, one night, they cross the line. Stop being pretend lovers and become the real thing. Once Linc has Blair, there is no turning back. Giving her up isn’t an option.


She broke the rules, and for once, Blair doesn’t care.


She shouldn’t have done it. Blair knows she shouldn’t have let the desire she feels for Linc sweep her away. Yet she did, and now, everything has changed. She wants him more than ever before, and, surely, they can do this, right? They can be lovers and partners and still get the job done. As long as emotions don’t get involved, everything is fine.


Until it isn’t. Until Blair and Linc are targeted as prey. Until all of their emotions are out of control.


When their cover is blown, Blair and Linc find themselves being hunted. It’s a race for survival, and Blair knows that Linc has her back. Just as she has his. Prepare yourself…things are about to get wild.


The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been, and Linc and Blair are about to turn things red-hot. Molten level. Watch out…you just might get burned.



Author’s Note: These partners have been on a slow-burn path, but their desire is about to ignite into an inferno they can’t control. You ready to steam up the pages? We’ve got action, thrills, romance…and a hero who is funny, sexy, and willing to do anything to claim his lady. CROSSING THE LINE is a complete, stand-alone novel. Guaranteed happily-ever-after (though reaching that ending will sure be fun…and a wee bit dangerous). Enjoy!

4.5⭐ Crossing The Line was a cracking read with two terrific characters in Blair and Linc, who have been partners for a while now and have played bit parts in earlier Wilde Ways stories but now have the chance to shine, and boy do they. As Linc is possessive, intense, and very protective, but also extremely hilarious which does make it hard for Blair to take him seriously, particularly when it comes to them being anything more than partners, which is what Blair's dreams have been full of lately. So when Blair is told her much-needed vacation is off because her and Linc are going undercover as newlyweds on a private island she is not thrilled. But Linc knows just how to calm his kick-ass partner and whilst working in paradise the sparks between Linc and Blair ignite. And what follows is a story full of heat, suspense and intrigue, and it's fair to say, I was utterly hooked, and completely entertained by Blair and Linc who made one hell of a couple both personally and professionally. So if you're in the mood for a fierce heroine and a super protective, but fun hero then you should definitely check Crossing The Line out.

Cynthia does it again. I honestly cannot even pick my favorite in this series. Each book I read becomes my favorite. This book brings all types of emotions with a dose of humour as well. Like I say always Cynthia is unmatched in this genre

Holy alpha goodness!!! This was an AMAZING read with characters that had me laughing and smiling the whole time. I gobbled this up as quickly as possible despite wanting to take it slow. No way could I close this book once I started! Linc and Blair have been partners for a while. They have a deep rich past of trust and security with each other, despite a little incident that had Blair wobbling a bit regarding her partner. When they’re sent on an undercover assignment, they learn that they’ll be going in as a married couple and suddenly all the emotions they’ve tried to keep hidden comes pouring out. Blair is one tough cookie. She doesn’t take flak from anyone and she definitely knows how to hold her own. Fiercely loyal, she will always be there to watch Linc’s back, no matter the cost to herself. Dealing with his quirky humor, she was more than capable of giving him back what he dished out. I absolutely loved her. Oh man, Linc was all kinds of delicious! The prefect alpha hero who would do anything to protect his woman all while he displays some serious possessive and jealous moments that made me grin, swoon and fall in love. He has the greatest sense of humor that those around him are constantly correcting him about but he just plows through life seemingly without a care in the world. But holy heck! When it comes to the bad guys, he might be smiling, but he’s not playing around. Together this couple were so much fun! They had me smiling most of the time and when I wasn’t smiling I was cheering them on as they raced to find the villain of the story. There is definitely no question regarding their chemistry. They set my Kindle on FIRE! Oh my gosh, they were hot together. Everything about them was pure perfection. They were perfect for each other and I absolutely hated to see their story end. This is a fast read, at least for me due to gobbling instead of savoring, with so many wonderful characters - some we’ve read their stories before and some still to come (can’t wait!). The case they’re working on was multi layered and the danger and drama from it only highlighted the hero’s and heroine’s personalities as well as the deepening of their relationship. Did I say I hated to see their story end? Definitely my favorite couple ever!!! HIGHLY recommending this to anyone who loves a feisty heroine and a strong protective/possessive hero both of which will do anything to protect the other!
