USA TODAY
bestselling author Cara Lockwood’s latest sizzling DARE novel!
Tattoo artist Mags McHenry doesn’t believe in love or marriage. But hate? That’s something Mags can get behind. Because the second Mr. Tall, Dark and Arrogant walks into her shop and demands the one tattoo she vowed never to ink again, Mags feels rage. Searing and red-hot for this insanely sexy, rich banker who wears privilege and entitlement as comfortably as his expensive custom-made suit.
But there’s something intelligent and dangerously predatory about Gael Quinn’s green eyes. And the power in his gravelly, deep voice makes Mags shiver with desire—and want to submit her body to that commanding, hungry touch.
He’s a suit. She’s a rebel. They’re complete opposites. But when it comes to lust at first sight, Mags will break her own rules. Just this once. Then she can go back to living her life by her rules and keeping control. But with every touch, Gael owns her body. With every kiss, he steals her breath.
And with every stolen moment of delicious pleasure, Gael is edging closer to taking the one thing Mags swore she’d never give away…
Take control. Feel the rush. Explore your fantasies—Harlequin DARE publishes sexy romances featuring powerful alpha males and bold, fearless heroines exploring their deepest fantasies.

About the author
Cara Lockwood
104 books372 followersI've written more than 30 books in a number of genres: chick lit, romance, suspense, paranormal and young adult. My debut novel, I Do (But I Don't) was made into a Lifetime Original movie.
I grew up in Mesquite, Texas, which for those of you who like livestock shows, is the home of the Mesquite Rodeo. Ironically, Mesquite was named after Mesquite trees, only none of them now exist in the city, which is about fifteen minutes east of Dallas. No, I don't own a pair of cowboy boots, although I do own quite an impressive collection of black shoes. My Dad is a third-generation Japanese-American, and my mom is a second-generation Texan who's mostly English.
I went to school at the University of Pennsylvania, only I'm not sure how I got in. I think these days they only accept students who can solve String Theory. Anyway, I majored in English, and because my dad said "and just what are you going to do with an English degree?" I went to work for the school newspaper. After college, I spent four years as a newspaper reporter, working for an overly excitable editor who sent me running anytime the police scanner went off. I was working insane hours for next to no pay. I was actually sent to cover a grass fire on my 25th Birthday. Let me tell you, it smelled bad. I think some mice may have lost their lives. But that was about it in terms of excitement. Happy Birthday to Me.
So, I decided after I had taken to hiding from my editor in the bathroom at the office anytime the police scanner went off, that journalism probably wasn't for me. I went to work for a marketing firm and discovered that most everyone else didn't stay until ten o'clock every night writing up their riveting story about grass fires. I also decided that I would take advantage of that free time to write some fiction. That's when I started writing "I Do (But I Don't)." A year later, I finished it, thanks to the help of my friend, Shannon, who wouldn't let me slack off and kept asking me for chapters.
And that's how I became a writer. Except that it still feels weird to say, "I'm a writer." I keep expecting to wake up tomorrow and have to go cover another grass fire.
I'm married and live with a blended broad of seven near Chicago, where I'm hard at work on my next book!

It's been a long time since I read a Dare book. I liked this book. A love story with people who come from two different sorts of backgrounds. The book was very easy to read as well.
