When the past comes calling it brings unexpected revelations that must be faced.
Vaughn Saunders expects his return to the Phoenix Intelligence Agency to not be an easy one. He has some unfinished business to settle with Allure, his ex-partner and the woman he wants badly. Before they can move forward they have to get past their complicated history. Getting beyond it will be worth the risk…at least for him. She has his heart, body and soul. He craves Allure's body and her soul yet does not expect to have her heart since it's already taken by another. Having what she is able to give is all he wants…but does he dare go for it all.
Allure Davis never expected to have to face the one man whom she trusted at her back until he betrayed her. His reasoning might have been to save her but with his leaving her she knew she could only depend on her family. Yet in her heart he is part of her family. Vaughn's return throws her for a tailspin and she has to face not only the past but also her ultimate desire. There is a need burning deep within her soul that only Vaughn can quench.
To bring two strong-willed souls together it takes a silken inferno, burning to meld them together from now to eternity and beyond…

Vaughn Saunders’ uneasiness increased with each step he took. He’d arrived late the night before and since then the feeling had got steadily worse. He already knew what it was from, but before it could change, he had to deal with a few things.
It was time to face the woman who was never far from his thoughts. Eight years without a glimpse of her, yet he could still remember the last look he’d seen on her face—betrayal and confusion. Pushing away the memories, as he had far too many times, Vaughn entered the Tracker Unit training room but at this time of morning it was deserted. Most of the tracker agents for the Phoenix Intelligence Agency were busy starting their work for the day. Since he was newly returned, he didn’t have any assignments pending on his desk.
He threw his towel on one of the benches before he strode across the mat, then stopped in the centre. He sat, crossing his legs then placed his palms face up on his knees, before closing his eyes. In seconds, he centred himself and everything around him fell away. He let his mind drift as he floated up. There was no sound or change in the air to let him know he wasn’t alone any longer, yet he did.
"Are you going to stare at me all day or say something?" he asked lazily.
"I’m trying to decide if I want to hug you or kick your ass for being gone so long." Ryne Garon’s tone was deadly serious.
Vaughn opened one eye and looked down. Ryne stood below with hands crossed over his chest. Vaughn closed his eye, levitating higher.
"I knew you could handle the Tracker Unit without me." Vaughn shrugged.
"That’s not the point. I had eight years of running it by myself. We run the unit jointly for a reason. You play nicely with others, so that was your job, while I get to be the brooding, silent one they fear. It’s a dynamic that worked for me. With you gone it all fell on me. You know I don’t like people." Ryne’s voice came closer.
"From the reports and notes, you did fine without me. And it’s good for you to work on your social skills. Makes you a well-rounded person, which you so need." Vaughn snorted.
"I am going to kick your ass." Ryne didn’t sound too put out by the prospect.
Vaughn didn’t stop his floating around the room. If Ryne wanted to kick his butt, they’d have a go around. Then once they’d worked off some energy, they would get to work. As co-division heads of the largest department of the Phoenix Intelligence Agency, he and Ryne worked in conjunction with a lot of other units. The Tracker Unit conducted the investigations, tracked suspects to apprehend them and also decided if the Enforcer Unit or the Assassination Unit was needed. In some cases, all three units were needed. Ryne had little use for the juggling act in diplomacy it took to deal with the other units, it usually fell to Vaughn to handle.
"Stop your bellyaching. You handled it."
"Was your hunt successful?" Ryne floated around him.
"It was." Vaughn chuckled.
"What’s so funny?"
"I was led in circles by a master manipulator." Vaughn chuckled.
"What? Why?" Ryne sounded on alert.
"Relax. She wasn’t sure who I was, or why I was going after the information. So until
she decided it was time, she led me around. She would make a hell of an agent." Vaughn smiled.

To say that I enjoyed the antics of the agents would be an understatement. Ms. Crenshaw liberally dosed this story with bits of humor throughout Allure and Vaughn’s romance. Bot...
