ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 11, 2017

Ex special-ops officer and security expert Ryan McLean is getting a much-needed vacation. In the Caribbean for his best friend’s wedding, his plans include nothing more strenuous than working on his tan. But when he meets a beautiful woman in the hotel bar, their connection is immediate and intense, and they spend a passionate night together with pleasure as their only goal.

Until Ryan wakes the following morning to discover the beautiful woman has vanished, along with millions worth of jewels from the safe of the Saudi prince staying in the suite next door. Realizing he was duped, Ryan becomes determined to find the mystery woman and bring her to justice. If only he could forget how explosive their chemistry was, how her kisses drove him wild like no other woman before.

A notorious thief known to authorities only as the Dragonfly, Mariana Lora only has one more score to settle until she can retire, but the sexy-as-hell Marine she spent one explosive tropical night with is hot on her heels at every turn. She has to outwit him to stay out of jail, but fighting their magnetic attraction soon becomes a game neither one of them can resist.

When Mariana’s last job goes dangerously wrong and she needs Connor’s help to survive, he has to decide if their game of cat and mouse is only a game, or if he can trust this beautiful thief with something no woman has ever stolen: his heart.

REVIEW: WICKED INTENTIONS is the third installment in JT Geissinger’s contemporary, adult WICKED GAMES erotic, romance series. This is security expert, mercenary, and ex special-ops officer Ryan McLean, and thief Mariana Lora’s story line. WICKED INTENTIONS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person points of view (Ryan and Mariana) WICKED INTENTIONS follows Mariana Lora-a world renowned, international thief known as the Dragonfly-as she endeavors to complete her latest assignment. Falling for Ryan McLean was never in the cards-Ryan is Mariana’s ticket to access millions of dollars in royal jewels-jewels that are going to pay off a debt and protect someone our heroine loves. But little does Mariana know that the man she has marked to gain access to the jewels, is a former special-ops officer who specializes in security and is all too aware that Mariana is hiding the truth about the who and what of her Caribbean vacation. What ensues is Ryan’s hunt for the truth, and Mariana’s struggle to break free of a debt that will never be paid.

Mariana is desperate to protect someone she loves but a debt owed finds our heroine risking not only her life but also the life of someone back home. Trying to keep her true identity a secret is next to impossible when the former special ops agent suspects not all is right in her world. Mariana’s backstory is heartbreaking and dark.

Ryan McLean’s Caribbean vacation just got a whole lot more interesting meeting the sultry and sexy woman whose secrets and lies push all of his over protective and alpha buttons. Ryan isn’t going to let go of the woman that calls to his heart but searching for Mariana becomes a little more complicated when the truth is revealed. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense. Mariana has but one rule-never to sleep with a mark- and Ryan’s presence will obliterate all sense for our story line heroine.

The secondary and supporting characters include Metrix Security staff Connor and Tabitha (Wicked Sexy #2), Darcy and Kai, and fifteen year old genius Juanita, as well as Mariana’s friend and father figure Reynard, and crime boss Vincent Moreno. There is plenty of back and forth friendly banter between the Metrix group members.

WICKED INTENTIONS has moments of humor and fun, danger, action and suspense, romance and love. The premise is intriguing and entertaining; the romance is seductive and passionate; the characters are colorful, dynamic and realistic-the friendships are fun and loving.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 19, 2016

A badass ex-Special Ops officer and a smartass hacker fight a dangerous enemy…and a blistering attraction to each other.

Connor Hughes is an ex-special ops officer, CEO of Metrix Security, and bonafide badass. His private security firm is renowned for its effectiveness. He’s renowned for his lethal precision and iron self-control. But when the former Marine meets a gorgeous young hacker with a mouth as smart as her brain, his control unravels in ways he never could have predicted.

Tabitha West is a genius MIT dropout with a bad attitude, an obsession with Hello Kitty and piercings in unmentionable places. Tabby amuses herself by outwitting the most secure technology systems on the planet. Known in hacker circles as Polaroid due to her photographic memory, she’s as secretive as she is accustomed to working alone. So when Connor decides she’s the only one who can help him catch a cyber criminal intent on taking down one of his clients, she tells him exactly where he can stick it.

But when the cyber criminal turns out to be the Hannibal Lecter of computer crime—and a dark presence from Tabby’s past—Tabby and Connor are drawn into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. They quickly find themselves fighting not only their common enemy, but also an explosive desire that threatens to consume them.

When the stakes are this high and the game this deadly, will falling in love be the most dangerous move of all?

REVIEW: WICKED SEXY is the second installment in J.T. Geissinger’s fantastic contemporary, adult WICKED GAMES erotic, romantic suspense series. This is security specialist Connor Hughes, and IT whiz Tabitha West’s story line. WICKED SEXY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Tabby and Connor were first introduced to the reader in book one Wicked Beautiful.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Connor and Tabby) WICKED SEXY focuses on the hunt for a cyber criminal intent on destroying business woman and movie mogul Miranda Lawson. When Miranda hires security specialist and former special ops agent Connor Hughes, she demands that he bring in smart mouthed, IT genius Tabitha West to aid in the investigation and take down of the internet hacker known only as Maelstrom. What ensues is a set up involving many branches of the US government, and the building relationship between Connor and Tabitha- a relationship fraught with heated tension, secrets and a palpable sexual energy.

The relationship between Connor and Tabby begins acrimoniously. Tabby wants nothing to do with the strong, alpha, and smart security specialist, mercenary and former Marine but her attraction to Connor is off the charts. Their back and forth, yin and yang bickering and innuendo is fast paced and filled with verbal sexual foreplay, tension and banter. Connor has wanted Tabby since the first time they met; Tabby does her best to push Connor out of her life and in doing so becomes the bait to pull in the cyber attacker. The $ex scenes are erotic, intimate and intense.

We are introduced to a number of secondary and supporting characters including several members of the NSA and FBI. Connor’s best friend Ryan T. McLean is a man determined to protect Connor’s back and his heart. I am hoping JT writes a story for Ryan McLean.

WICKED SEXY is an amazing and fascinating story with many twist and turns; an intriguing, well developed and researched tale of cyber crime and internet technology in the hands of a psychotic genius. Tabitha’s past is heartbreaking-so many losses but it is the true nature and extent of the losses that add another layer onto the ever mounting hoard of secrets from the past. The premise is incredible and moving; the characters are passionate, dynamic and intense; the romance is provocative and explosive. J. T. Geissinger is a phenomenal author whose writing with captive your imagination, leaving your breathless and wanting more.

excerpt

For a moment Connor just examines my face in silence. There’s a strange tension in him, a stillness, like a held breath but in his entire body. Then he abruptly swings around in his seat so he’s facing me, his massive thighs on either side of my bar stool, his booted feet planted on the floor.Trapping me.“What do you think you’re doing?” I ask, my voice high with panic.“Got something to say to you. It’s important, so don’t talk until the end.”He looks dangerously intense. His dark eyes are heated, drilling into mine. His cheeks are flushed from the fire, or from something else, but I don’t have time to think about what that something else might be because he opens his mouth and starts to speak, and my brain faints dead away, leaving me to fend for myself.“I want you. Bad. Don’t know exactly why, you’re a complete pain in my ass and pretty much the most contrary, foul-tempered woman I’ve ever met, and you’ve made it really clear what you think about me, but every time I look at you I have an almost overpowering urge to touch you, kiss you, do a lot of bad things to you, and I don’t know how to manage it. Yeah, it might be more prudent for me to keep this shit to myself, but I know that when you don’t talk about shit it festers, gets worse, and if the way I feel about you gets any worse I won’t be able to put my goddamn shoes on in the morning. So I’m putting it out there.”He takes a breath. Deeply shocked, I stare at him with my mouth open, my heart up in my throat.“We’re both professionals. We have a job to do. And I don’t mix business with pleasure. Ever. But the way I figure it, we’ve got one more night until the work actually starts, and if I don’t do something to get you straight in my head I won’t be able to do the job at all.”He stops abruptly. Then he waits, watching me with unwavering intensity as I attempt to digest what just happened.I whisper in disbelief, “You’re propositioning me?”His gaze drops to my lips. When he looks back into my eyes, his own are burning. “You liked that kiss.”He gives me time to deny it, but I don’t. How could I? We both know I’d be lying.He adds, “And you called me hot, so I know you don’t think I’m a complete troll, even though you act like you do.”“That was an accident.”“Yep.” He nods. “And you fuckin’ hated yourself for it. Which is why I know it was true.”Things are happening in my body. My nipples harden, my breath quickens, there is a distinctive throb and ache between my legs. All because this jarhead I hate just told me he wants to do bad things to me.Bad things. Dear God, were any two sexier words ever spoken?
