Erin Connelly meets alpha male
Zander James in WANT IT, the third novel in Jennifer Chance's sizzling Rule
Breakers series! This one is not to be missed by readers looking for their
military romance fix!
About WANT IT:
In
the latest tantalizing Rule Breakers novel from Jennifer Chance, an
irresistible alpha male follows his ex into a deadly standoff—and reignites a
heated affair.
For
Erin Connelly, being a good girl isn’t such a bad thing. She’s working her
dream job at a Boston art gallery and staying out of trouble, which is more
than she can say for her deadbeat mom. Unfortunately, her mother’s latest
misadventure lands her in the clutches of a Mexican drug lord. Now the only
person who can save her is the one man Erin has no business asking for help:
the sexy-as-sin army ranger who just so happens to be her former high school
sweetheart.
Zander
James is no gentleman—and no officer, either, thanks to Erin. Four years ago,
she made a call that terminated his highest aspirations ... and their
relationship. He’s never forgiven her, but when he learns that Erin’s embarking
on a half-baked rescue mission, he sure as hell can’t let her go alone. Now,
with a treacherous enemy lying in wait, the electrifying tension between them
may just be Zander’s undoing. Because while he may be able to keep Erin alive,
he can’t promise to keep his hands off her.

A note to readers from author
Jennifer Chance:
Because
WANT IT is a romance, not a military suspense book, I found I had to focus very
hard on not writing scenes that were too “action-adventurey”. But one character
who just refused to leave the narrative was Rey Torres. Rey is a shadowy
“friend of a friend” who shows up to help Zander and Erin when they need it
most, on their quest to free Erin’s mother. He’s smart and funny and a little
too happy to bend the rules, but he fits well with the more serious Zander and
goes a long way toward making Erin feel just a bit safer in a strange country.
Here Rey touches on the danger that exists in Nuevo Laredo, even while trying
to reassure Erin. It’s a difficult balance to strike!
“You doing good back
there?”
Zander’s words brought
her back and Erin blinked. “Yes! Yes, all good.” They were approaching a long
line of cars at a bridge, and she was struck with how, well, how normal
everything seemed. Not that she wanted a big shoot-out at the Mexican O.K.
Corral, but if they went through this with no more trouble than a trip to the
grocery, she admitted that a small part of her would be . . . ever so slightly
disappointed. She’d read a tiny amount about the drug trade in Mexico, and
about people who ran afoul of the dealers. It seemed a lot more scary on the
Internet than it did driving around in a rental car.
She frowned as they
drove past the first bridge. “Isn’t that where we’re headed?”
Rey glanced at her in
the rearview mirror, his ever-present smile still curving the edge of his
mouth. “No, ma’am. That’s what we call Bridge Number One—a good enough bridge,
don’t get me wrong. But the one we want is Bridge Number Two. I have a pass for
the SENTRI lane there.” He tapped a small hang-card he’d slung over the
rearview mirror.
“Like an express lane?”
she asked, and Rey nodded.
“Exactly like that.”
They turned onto the
bridge, and Erin watched the sunlight playing over scorched concrete as they
made their way across the arching expanse. “So, is it really as dangerous here
as I read about? Should I be worried?”
“You? Not at all.” Rey
shrugged. “You have Zander with you, and he seems like a smart guy. You seem
like a smart woman. With two smart people, I have found that there is never
much need to be worried.” They bumped off the bridge and down onto the street,
Rey handling the vehicle easily to get over to the first exit, heading west.
“Now if you were dumb? Well, that would be another thing altogether. Camino
Real, yes?” Rey asked, and Zander nodded, while Rey flashed Erin a bright grin
in the rearview mirror. “Then your adventure begins, my very smart friends.
Welcome to Nuevo Laredo.”
