Power Struggle: Alphas of Danger Anthology by Mari Carr
Date of Publication: September 5, 2017
Blurb
Happy-Ever-After has never been so intoxicating…
Danger…
When a man has beaten it, he becomes a hero.
Lust...
When a woman tastes it, she is helpless to resist his pull.
Love…
It won't come easily, especially between alpha men and their headstrong women. Threats lurk in the shadows, and the price for passion is often exacted with a bullet or a blade…but the sacrifice is worth it when devotion is the reward.
Ten bestselling authors, masters of spine-tingling romantic suspense, bring you brand-new stories that will yank you to the edge of your seat and have your heart pounding as you turn the pages.
Best of all, the proceeds will benefit 4 Paws for Ability, a worldwide agency that enriches the lives of children and veterans with disabilities by training and placing quality, task-trained service dogs.

EXCERPT
Power Struggle by Mari Carr
“That sounds—” Her
cell phone rang before she could finish her response. She forced herself to
stand, then rummaged through the purse she’d set on his desk after they’d
arrived in his office. She pulled it out, her fingers clumsy, and she almost
dropped it.
He started to tell
her to ignore it, but something in her expression as she looked at the screen
alarmed him.
“Bree?” he
started, but she shook her head as she clicked to answer.
“Hello?”
Carter listened
with growing concern as Bree’s demeanor changed. Whatever exhaustion she’d been
suffering appeared to have vanished. She began picking up her clothes in sudden
panic.
“How? When? I
thought—” she said to the person on the other end. “I don’t know. I haven’t
spoken to him since the sentencing.”
Carter frowned and
rose as well, dressing as she listened, then responded, “Donovan’s Bar. West
Forty-fifth.”
Finally, she said,
“I understand. I will,” and hung up.
“What’s going on,
Bree?” he asked.
“Ronnie.”
“Your stepfather?”
She nodded,
looking shell-shocked.
“What is it? What
happened?”
“He escaped from
prison.”
Carter went on
instant alert as Bree kept rambling, her terror growing with each passing
second. “They don’t know where he is. He was being transferred from one
facility to another due to overcrowding. The bus transporting him crashed. He
got out, got away from the guards.”
“When was the
accident? Where?” Carter didn’t like how pale she’d gone.
“Upstate. This
morning.”
“And they’re only
just now calling to let you know?” He hadn’t meant to raise his voice,
especially when she jumped. “Jesus, Bree.” He reached out and pulled her toward
him, holding her tight in his embrace.
“They wanted to
know if I thought he’d come here. If he’d come after me.”
Carter knew the
answer to that question, but he didn’t share his opinion. Bree already appeared
to be in the early stages of shock.
