Bachelor Unleashed - Brenda Jackson [0]
Farrah nodded. “All right. Thanks.”
He cupped her chin in his hand before leaning down and capturing her mouth in a kiss that she felt all the way to her toes. His tongue tangled with hers, eliciting all kinds of lust that began rushing through her veins in a matter of seconds.
When he finally released her mouth and stepped back, she eased back down to the edge of the bed to watch him get dressed. He slid his jeans back over his muscular thighs before readjusting his briefs. She studied the bulge in his crotch, the object that had given her so much pleasure over the past year. It was still hard, thick and so engorged it practically seemed ready to explode.
Desire thrummed through her body as she remembered how good he felt inside of her, how good he tasted, and she quickly decided there was no use letting a good opportunity go to waste.
“Xavier?”
He glanced over at her as he buttoned his jeans. “Yes?”
“How about one more for the road?”

Bachelor Unleashed
To the love of my life, Gerald Jackson, Sr.
Dear Reader,
When I first introduced Xavier Kane in Risky Pleasures (Vanessa Steele and Cameron Cody’s love story), I was already imagining the kind of love interest he would have. Then, while writing Intimate Seduction (Donovan’s story) and introducing Farrah (Natalie’s best friend), I knew I had found the woman for Xavier.
Bachelor Unleashed is Xavier and Farrah’s story. It’s a love affair started in Intimate Seduction, where hints were given as to where things were headed in Bachelor Untamed. Both have reasons for not wanting to become involved in a serious relationship, but when it comes to true love, this couple finds out that they can only follow their hearts.
And don’t worry if you haven’t read any of the previous books—this is a wonderful stand-alone story, as well.
I hope you enjoy reading Xavier and Farrah’s story as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Happy reading!
Brenda Jackson

There was nothing a woman was left wanting before, during and after making love with Xavier Kane. And Farrah Langley was caught now in the throes of one of those heated, satisfying moments.
She had known she was in for a sensual treat the minute she’d opened the door to him earlier. With a bottle of wine in his hand, he’d stood there looking sexier than any man had a right
