Last night, Daniela Bishop had a dream about a man she’s never met.
Today she found out that the man is real…and she’s his wife.

“I could not put this book down. The intensity, confusion, and breath holding scariness was a wild high. Bishop is a strong alpha you just want to crawl into. Dani is a strong willed woman who blocks and challenges Bishop at every turn. I loved their chemistry and the race to see if Bishop is what he says he is.” – The Reading Owl
The series starter of Kisses and Crimes challenged me like none other, and I was nervous, excited and exhilarated sharing this wicked tale.

I sit up straight, bracing my open palms on my bedroom pillows when it occurs to me that the pillows aren’t even mine. In fact, as I take a closer look at the bedroom sheets, I slowly realize… I’ve awakened in a bed that also isn’t mine.
What the flying fuck…
I vault out of the bed, practically diving sideways. My bare feet land on the cold ground near the edge of the bed. I pace, taking in the remainder of the room with sluggish eyes and an unsettled mind.
I don’t recognize the silk robe draped over my shoulders. I’ve never been introduced to the floor rug beneath my feet. Nothing is familiar. None of it. Not the room. Not its two rust-colored doors. Definitely not the high ceilings, nor the darkened hardwood floors. I seem to have gone asleep in one world and awakened in another.
Where the fuck am I, and how in the hell did I get here?
I walk over to the nearest door, but, oddly enough, it doesn’t open. I walk to the window, in front of the thick glass separating me from the world, and I realize that everything around me—the buildings, the people, the marketplace just outside… I don’t recognize any of it. And I’m all alone.
How did this happen?
Everything, everyone, appears to be moving with a natural purpose, in a motion that speaks of everyday life. It seems like a normal goddamned day for the rest of the world… but not for me.
I am the single oddity.
I press my forehead against the hazy glass, prepared to scream, and just when I begin to… the rain that seems to pulsate in the room suddenly stops.
The sound of heavy footsteps follows in its wake, matching the thundering of my now pumping heart.
My heart seems to have leapt between my ears, beating at a panicky pace, and I see the doorknob turn, the door opening in slow motion as a bare foot emerges from beyond.
Through one of two closed doors, a man enters the room, half-naked, a white towel in one hand and another wrapped tightly near his navel.
And in that instant, my mind goes numb.
He is gorgeous beyond fucking belief.
Gold-green eyes peek beneath a darkly soaked head of hair, and he looks straight at me—his hazel irises expectant, one strong, tattooed arm outstretched as he dries the wet mane that drips onto his naked shoulders. Strong broad shoulders. Shoulders that sit upon a body made of olive-colored stone.
The look in his eyes is intense, and he stares at me as if he is incapable of doing anything else. I don’t know why… but it thrills me, sets my senses ablaze… and scares me half-to-fucking-death.
This is the guy—the man from last night’s dream… and I have no fucking clue who he is. He takes a step towards me from fifteen feet off, and I recoil.
“What?” he asks roughly. “What’s wrong?”
He looks towards the window. “You ok? You see somethin’? Did someone…”
But he doesn’t even finish the question. Before he can utter another word, I am running, my bare soles thudding against the wood underneath as I make a break for the other door, sprinting towards it without a second thought. And I nearly make it… before the man reaches out and grabs my wrist.
