New
York Times and USA Today best-selling author Cynthia Eden continues her dark
and sexy “Mine” romantic suspense series with…MINE TO CRAVE.
HE TAKES WHAT HE WANTS.
From
the moment that billionaire casino owner Drake Archer sees Jasmine Bennett,
he’s obsessed. Consumed by desire for the mysterious redhead, Drake will do
anything necessary to claim her. Yet as desire rages between them, danger is
stalking ever closer. Drake’s past isn’t dead, and the ex-Special Forces agent
will soon have to face the ghosts he left behind.
SHE’S HIDING SECRETS.
Jasmine
isn’t who she pretends to be. She’s a woman on a mission—and she’s supposed to
be stealing secrets from the mysterious Drake. Falling for him isn’t on her
agenda, but when lust and love tangle together, all the rules get broken.
AN ENEMY IS CLOSING IN…
When
Drake learns of Jasmine’s betrayal…all hell breaks loose. He knows that he
should turn his back on her, but it’s too late for him. He can’t let her go,
but he can teach her a lesson. No one betrays him…not without paying a heavy
price. Drake will destroy all of the enemies on his trail, he’ll bury his past,
and he’ll teach Jasmine to want only him…just as much as he craves her.
“Thank you,” Jasmine told him.
“For what?”
“Saving me.
That doesn’t happen a lot for me.”
He cranked
the car. The engine immediately purred to life.
“Please.”
The word seemed to be a bit hard for her to say. Interesting. “Don’t…don’t take
me to a hospital. I’m staying in a motel just outside of town. Just drop me off
there, and I’ll vanish from your life. I promise.”
He pulled
into traffic. He was far too aware of her next to him.
“If you turn
right at the next intersection, you’ll be able to get back to my motel.”
Drake stared
at the road ahead of him.
“The turn is
here,” Jasmine said, her voice breaking a bit. From pain? From fear? “You
should go right—”
He didn’t go
right.
“Drake?”
“You’ve got
a lot of secrets.”
“Why didn’t
you turn? I told you, I’d vanish. I won’t bother you again.”
She was
already bothering him plenty. He should drop her off at the nearest hospital.
Get on a plane and head down to New Orleans. Find another woman and forget
about her. But he heard himself say, “You’re not vanishing.”

AN UNEXPECTED INTERVIEW
Here with us today
are Drake Archer and Jasmine Bennett, the stars of MINE TO CRAVE. Drake and
Jasmine, are, of course, thrilled to be here. They’re taking a breather from the danger that is their
lives and enjoying some quiet chat time. ;)
ANGI: What’s the first book you remember reading?
Jasmine: Sleeping
Beauty—I wanted her to wake up—fast!
Drake: Huckleberry
Finn.
ANGI: What’s your favorite “love” word?
Jasmine: Darling, of course. Isn’t that what you are, Drake? My
special darling?
Drake: Am I supposed to have one of those? I call Jasmine “beautiful” because that is
exactly what she is to me—what she’ll always be.
ANGI: What’s your favorite fairy tale?
Drake: Uh,
what? How about Little Red Riding Hood?
Mostly because I’ve been called a big, bad wolf a few times or twenty.
ANGI: What’s your favorite cartoon character?
Jasmine: Bugs
Bunny. Smart rabbit—he could get out of
every dangerous situation. Kind of like…me.
ANGI: What’s your favorite movie of all time?
Jasmine: The
Princess Bride. And, um, Drake, would it kill you to try saying, “As you wish…”
to me a few times? I mean, really.
Drake: Casino. What can I say? Vegas is my life.
ANGI: What is your biggest vice?
Jasmine: Chocolate.
Drake: I own several casinos, so I prefer to enjoy other
people’s vices.
ANGI’S GOTTA ASK: What is your favorite thing about
Drake and Jessica? Why does their chemistry only work for them?
CYNTHIA'S GOTTA ANSWER: I love Drake and
Jasmine because they are both characters with dark, troubled pasts. They have
every reason in the world not to trust each other, but, somehow, they
connect. They feel safe together, and
they create a fragile bond that can see them through the dangers that they
face.
