A perfect anecdote
Ian and Natasha. The two have been mentioned in many books separately and recently together. Former CIA, or still deep undercover, and an assassin for one of the groups Ian is working to take down. This is a brief look into a party after their kiss in DC where they both are there and Natasha tries to fool Ian, but he knows it is her. The relationship takes a turn and sets us up for their book as it shares that Natasha has some conflicting opinions and goals regarding Ian and his future!

Brilliant
This prologue is the perfect preparation for the ultimate Ian Black novel - Black Heart. Ian and Natasha are long-term nemesis. But at heart too much pulls them together for them to be apart for long. This short story provides excellent insight into both protagonists, their professions, their passions, their need for each other. The conclusion to this story is merely the ideal segue to the full story of Ian and Natasha.

Whet your Appetite for Ian and His Calypso
How many years have we been waiting for Natasha Oliver aka the assassin Calypso to give into the enormous attraction to mystery man, Ian Black? A long time. This novella is a prequel for Black Heart coming out on Jan 25 & judging by what transpires, it'll be explosive.
Will she assassinate Ian? Or will he win her over?

Wow!!
Prequel to a book all Lynn's fans including me have been waiting for. Now even more so. Ian is a character everyone loved to hate until they got to know him. He is an integral part of the Hostile Operations Team and proved himself to be indispensable. Hot, sexy and a great leader. Black Heart is coming soon. Can't wait.

This is just a little sneak preview of Ian and Natasha. They are at a masquerade party thrown by Ian. There’s not much more to say. They have sex, he wakes up the next morning and she is gone. I don’t think it needs to be read before reading Black Heart. I have started Black Heart and this is the first 5 chapters of it.

Masquerade
This is just a peak at the newest series coming out. His past exploded and he and his men are now considered to be the bad guys. But in reality it's just a cover, very deep cover, so that the enemy has no idea. Natasha wants him dead. She is an assassin and he is the reason why her family is gone. These two have sizzling chemistry together. This is just the beginning.

As always, Mrs. Harris has written another wonderful piece that leaves us waiting for more. I was already excited for the release of Black Heart, but now..... It can't come soon enough!
Thank you for this wonderful distraction during these trying times.

I CANNOT WAIT!
Ahhhh! I knew better than to read considering the release of Black Heart is still sooo far away (24 days is too long!) But when I found the link in Lynn's email...I couldn't help it. Two arcs needing read but I had to know! Ian and Natasha's book is going to be just as epic as I thought if this is any indication. Book hangover over 5 chapters...I think so...

How could I not love the prequel novella of Ian and Natasha’s story? I feel like I have been waiting forever for this couple and I cannot wait to read Black Heart. In the meantime, Masquerade was a pure delight and it made the butterflies in my stomach go crazy.

Interesting.
Wow, a taste of what is to come. looking forward to reading more about Mr Ian Black., there is not a hint of who is involved, he certainly has some favours to call in from Hot.

A quick, wonderful set-up for the upcoming release, BLACK HEART. Laced with mystery and sexual tension, it really whets my appetite for Ian and Natasha's book, which releases later this month. I can't wait!

TEASER
Recapped info that’s important for this story but also for A Black Heart. Totally enjoyed that Ian and Natasha danced around each other just long enough that they caught each other. Perfect lead into Ian’s story. Definitely recommend.

Natasha and Ian
Masquerade is a short hot steamy story about a night of passion between Natasha and Ian. Their chemistry has been building in the previous Black Bandit series. LRH gives us a night of passion between these two charismatic characters! Happy Reading!!

This is 6 chapters of awesomeness. Just enough to know that Blackheart is going to be incendiary and I can’t wait to finally be able to read it.

An exciting prologue to whet the reader's appetite as to the mystery surrounding Natasha (an assassin). And her attraction to Ian Black.
January 7, 2022
Ian and Natasha are a steamy hot couple. Their mere presence near each other alerts them. The ending of this short read is a great segue to The Black Heart.
January 8, 2022
Masquerade: A Black Heart Prologue by Lynn Raye Harris is a page turner for sure. An awesome start to Ian’s story. It’s gonna be hard waiting for his story after reading this prelogue.
