Split the Aces

FBI agent Sera Warren has been working undercover to track a domestic terrorist group to its origins. When her cover is blown, her priority shifts from closing her case to just making it through the day alive. She ends up in the middle of a bank heist, pointing a gun at her ex-girlfriend, Torrence "Tor" Jewel. She sees a flicker of recognition in Tor's eyes as she pulls her gun and yells, "On the floor!"

Before Tor can fully register that "the one who got away" is standing in front of her, she's pushed facedown onto the floor. Sera might as well shoot her now because as soon as she gets up, Tor's going to kill her. Or kiss her. She's still undecided.

First, they have to survive their reunion, then they can worry about happily ever after.

Happily ever after doesn't look the same for every couple.

KC Hall loves her family, her small East Texas town, and her best friend, Emma Reynolds. All of that takes a backseat when her lover beckons. Lonnie is blond, beautiful, and willing. She's also married and a lifelong friend of KC's mama.

KC knows the affair is a bad idea, but she just can't help herself. When presented with the lush landscape of Lonnie's body, KC subscribes to the philosophy of "orgasm first, think later." Unfortunately, a secret that big is impossible to keep in a close-knit community where everybody knows everybody else's business. The scandal would hurt her entire family.

Emma is KC's exception, the one woman she loves enough to not have sex with. When Emma confesses that she's loved KC since high school, KC is terrified. One wrong move and she could lose Emma completely.

Is she willing to let her family pay the price for her good time? Or will she turn to Emma to discover the true meaning of love and devotion?
