Taking: Pure Escapes

By Kit Kyndall

A deal's a deal.
Ryder Stone is a bad boy, and good girl Kylie wants him so much. When a desperate attempt to catch his attention backfires, Kylie finds herself under a roughly possessive Ryder as he makes it clear he's tired of denying what they both want. She's glad his control has snapped, and she's his for the TAKING, but does he want just one night with her?

This was previously published under the Kristianna Sawyer pen name. It has been refreshed and lengthened, though the story is essentially the same.

Pure Escapes are steamy novellas that get right to the point. They offer crazy insta-love, heart-pounding desire, and improbable scenarios. They're pure escapist fantasies.

Ryder Stone barely even glanced up from the wrench he was polishing with a shop rag. Saw me do what, Kylie?

She took another step toward her neighbor, body humming with nerves and a hint of anticipation as she entered the recesses of his garage. I saw you with Maddy Caldwell.
