Hold Me Tight
by Cait London

Powerful. Dangerous. Male. Alexi Stepanov was everything that painful experience had taught Jessica Sterling to fear.

Which was why he made the perfect protector for her dearest friend. What made better sense than to counter a threat with maximum threat? Keep your enemies closer...wasn't that the general wisdom?

Only, Alexi was too close for comfort....

In honoring a vow, Jessica had resigned herself to a cold, lonely life as a wealthy widow, but Alexi warmed her world with his large, loving family...and a heat he alone stirred. Once, a man's touch had meant taking, but Alexi's touch was giving. And deceiving. For Alexi knew her friend had never been in danger.

Jessica was.

Cait London's Bio

USA Today's bestselling Cait London is published in 28 countries, working on her 60th book and her 19th year as a published author, either as Cait London or as Cait Logan (both pseudonyms). In her national award-winning career and with millions of copies, she's written historicals, category/series, paranormal, and now romantic suspense for Avon. Currently, she has four ongoing series. As Lois Kleinsasser (a name editors didn't want for her books), she moved to the Midwest from the sand and sage of rural Washington State. Her novels reflect that small town western upbringing. In her former creative life, she is/was a wildlife/scenery artist, specializing in large canvas. "I love painting, but writing is where it's at for me now. It's just a different canvas," she says. Best known for her vividly written characters and plot twists, Lois/Cait loves to read, play with computers and photography, and admits to owning a runaway herb garden. She also loves to drive and has researched on location all of her novels, including the Oregon Trail and Northwest Indian/fur trader/gold trails into Canada. Most recently, she has researched vinyards and lighthouses in the Lake Michigan area. This trip resulted in two more suspense novels, including WITH HER LAST BREATH 7/03 and WHAT MEMORIES REMAIN 5/04.

A USA Today bestseller, Cait/Lois has received several national kudos and awards. However, she lists her top achievement as several years as a single mother of her three daughters (three is her lucky number), while she worked a full-time day job and wrote for two publishers.

In addition to writing her novels, Cait presents seminars on writing and speaking on other topics, maintains her extensive website, 2 reader enewsletters, 1 for booksellers/librarians/readers groups, an enewsletter for regional writers/librarians/booksellers, produces her own graphic designs for 4-color promotions, maintains a vast contact with booksellers and readers, and writes articles.
