Romancing Riley
There usually has to be some sort of romance involved for me to pick up a book. Anything with a strong emotional undercurrent is bound to get my attention. Contemporary, PNR, H/C & M/M are my favorites.

"Prophet, let me go and don't move."
"And lock us in here with that?"
"There'll be more behind it."
"You're kidding."
"You're going to argue with me now?"
The alligator, which was at least five feet in length, still advanced a little, and Prophet waved his gun at it.
Tom grabbed his arm and pushed it down. "This is a message."

"This place is not fucking normal."
Oh, Prophet, I've missed you.
