New readers should/need to start with Nikki & Damien Stark's very first book #ReleaseMe ☺
Charismatic. Dangerous. Sexy as hell.
Meet the men of Stark Security.
Stark Security, a high-end, high-tech, no-holds barred security firm founded by billionaire Damien Stark and security specialist Ryan Hunter has one mission: Do whatever it takes to protect the innocent. Only the best in the business are good enough for Stark Security.
Men with dangerous skills.
Men with something to prove.
Brilliant, charismatic, sexy as hell, they have no time for softness—they work hard and they play harder. They’ll take any risk to get the job done.
But what they won’t do is lose their hearts.From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author J.
Kenner comes a new story in her Stark Security series…
Former vigilante-for-hire Simon Barré has one steadfast rule:
stay far away from celebrities. Too bad Simon’s first assignment at Stark
Security is to protect A-list actress Francesca Muratti. He can’t even turn
down the assignment, as that would be violating his second rule—never fail a woman. Now he finds himself
up-close-and-personal with a high-maintenance diva whose flash and sass drives
him crazy—but whose touch
he undeniably craves.
The world might believe that Francesca Muratti leads a fairy
tale life, but the truth is far darker. For years, she’s kept a horrible secret
about her best friend’s death. Now someone is threatening to kill Francesca if
she doesn’t reveal all. She needs protection, but there’s no way she’s going to
tell the sexy Stark Security agent what she did or why she’s being threatened.
Which means that in order to survive and protect her secrets, Francesca must pull
off the biggest acting job of her career: she’s going to have to let Simon
close, but not let him see her true heart.
*Every
1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an
introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the
author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.*
Francesca + Simon
Francesca is a Hollywood superstar and she's in need of a bodyguard after receiving some very threatening messages. Enter Simon. Stark Security's newest agent.
Let's say it's not love at first sight between those two.
But Simon is here to keep Francesca alive, not to fall in love. Right?
Let the fun times begin!
Another very exciting and sparky and sexy novella in this great series!
Everything with Damien in it can't be bad anyway. LOL
I just wish these books were a tiny little bit longer - with more detail and more falling in love and more danger!
This time it felt extremely short and the bad person was so immediately recognizable - there was no one else in the story, so it had to be him.
But I still really enjoy reading this series - can't wait to read the next one - finally Ollie's book!
CHARMED BY YOU was a cute, funny, and suspensy little Stark Security Hollywood novella! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Simon - this one is MINE! ☺
↓ LiNKS TO THE BOOK AND AUTHOR ↓
J. Kenner (aka Julie Kenner) is the New York Times, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, Wall Street Journal and International bestselling author of over seventy novels, novellas and short stories in a variety of genres.
Though known primarily for her award-winning and international bestselling erotic romances (including the Stark and Most Wanted series) that have reached as high as #2 on the New York Times bestseller list, JK has been writing full time for over a decade in a variety of genres including paranormal and contemporary romance, “chicklit” suspense, urban fantasy, Victorian-era thrillers (coming soon), and paranormal mommy lit.
Her foray into the latter, Carpe Demon: Adventures of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom by Julie Kenner, has been consistently in development in Hollywood since prior to publication. Most recently, it has been optioned by Warner Brothers Television for development as series on the CW Network with Alloy Entertainment producing.
JK has been praised by Publishers Weekly as an author with a “flair for dialogue and eccentric characterizations” and by RT Bookclub for having “cornered the market on sinfully attractive, dominant antiheroes and the women who swopn for him.” A three time finalist for Romance Writers of America’s prestigious RITA award, JK took home the first RITA trophy awarded in the category of erotic romance in 2014 for her novel, Claim Me (book 2 of her Stark Trilogy).
Her books have sold well over a million copies and are published in over over twenty countries.
In her previous career as an attorney, JK worked as a clerk on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and practiced primarily civil, entertainment and First Amendment litigation in Los Angeles and Irvine, California, as well as in Austin, Texas. She currently lives in Central Texas, with her husband, two daughters, and two rather spastic cats.
