We are in the one week countdown until Protecting it All, book four in the Passion Series is released on January 23rd. To say I’m excited is an understatement. This book is (by far) the most intense I’ve written. The words did not jump onto the page. The story came out kicking and screaming, but in the end, I’m thrilled with the end product. Only time will tell if my fans are as thrilled as I am. 🙂
So today, in honor of #SatSpanks, I’m releasing my brand new cover. Isn’t it awesome? Meet Dylan and Hannah. Here’s a little excerpt from Protecting it All from Dylan’s POV.
Snippet:
Dylan Parker’s right leg bounced up and down self-consciously. He was wired on caffeine, adrenaline and dread. If he didn’t already know for a fact that the seemingly average ranch home he was staking out was a veritable fortress, he would have stormed it already, Lukus Mitchell be damned. He’d only worked for Titan Securities for a few weeks, but he already hated the fucking job. As the new guy, he’d been relegated to stakeout duty, which meant long boring hours of no activity.
Boredom wasn’t why he hated the job.
What he loathed was following a lowlife like Jake Davenport and not being able to do jack-shit to intervene. In the weeks Dylan had been trailing the prick, he’d seen more horrendous grievances against women than in his entire two duties in Afghanistan as a decorated Marine sniper.
It turned his stomach to think what might be happening inside the brick home he had his binoculars trained on. He’d sat outside this home many nights and had seen at least three other women go inside. In every case, they’d come out looking worse for the wear – sometimes limping – often disheveled – always scared.
Davenport only brought the innocent ones home with him.
What had Dylan most upset was that tonight it wasn’t just some nameless victim inside that house. Tonight it was Hannah Martine. He wasn’t prepared for the protective anger he felt on behalf of Davenport’s newest victim.

Talk about intense! I’ve got to give him credit for not leaping out and rescuing Hannah when it could jeopardize what he was hired to do, but I also don’t hold out much hope for him to remain an observer for long. Not if he has any feelings for the girl. Love the series, and I can’t wait for this newest release. I’m almost as excited as you are.
Thank you so much for the awesome comment, Kathryn! It makes me happy that you are so excited for the release.
Okay, you were not kidding about this being intense! I can’t wait to read it!!!! Is it on Goodreads yet? I will check. Enticing snippet and gorgeous cover!
Thank you so much, my dear. Thanks for the reminder on Goodreads. Now that I have my cover I’ll add it this weekend. Glad you liked the snippet.
I am counting the days until PIA is here, looks great.
Thanks, Sandy! I can’t wait to have you read it. Soon. Very soon.
I don’t think I could wait outside, I’d be over the wall, surveillance be damned.
Thanks for stopping by, Darcie. Yes, Dylan has problems staying in the car. It’s put him in the hospital once already at this point in the story. 🙂
OMG I love this story so much. I adore you, Livia!
Back at you! Thanks my dear. 🙂
Great snippet, Livia, and congrats on the upcoming release!
