A good soldier follows orders!

U.S. Army Ranger Logan Reed’s Vermont hometown has turned into hell. Logan is now known as either the hot-’n’-available widower or the town hero.

Sadie Bannerman is in town to help her pregnant twin…and to lie low until the world learns she’s the author of the hottest new erotica novel! Thanks to her explosive chemistry with Logan, she’s getting plenty of naughty inspiration for her next book. Because this supersexy soldier knows exactly how to follow her every command….

I am so excited to share Logan’s story with you! Army Ranger Logan Reed was one of the horse soldiers from my Mills & Boon Blaze debut, Command Performance. He appeared as a side character, but I could not stop thinking about the lonely widower sidelined from the job he loved. I felt he deserved a happily-ever-after. But first, I needed to find the perfect heroine.

Then I met Sadie, the erotica writer determined to succeed. I love writing about strong women, but what made Sadie stand out in my mind was her constant struggle for work/life balance. Sadie seemed like a great match for Logan—except for the fact that he is on a mission to keep a low profile and she is actively seeking publicity for the next book in her bestselling erotica series.

I love hearing from readers! Could you relate to Sadie’s desire to balance her personal life with her career ambitions? Did you enjoy the small-town setting? Let me know!

Happy reading!

Quotation The things he wants, they are dirty—depraved even—but then so are my fantasies. The difference is he knows how to ask for what he wants, and I lost my voice long ago. —Isabelle’s Command: Possession, Volume 1 by MJ Lane “Don’t leave,” he says. This time, his words are not an ultimatum. “Tell me what you want. Anything. I am yours to command.” —Isabelle’s Command: Submission, Volume 2 by MJ Lane I found my voice. But now, my heart is exposed. And I don’t know if I’m ready to love him. —Isabelle’s Command: Control, Volume 3 by MJ Lane (A Work In Progress)
