The next serial sensation from Beth Kery, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of *Because You Are Mine. *

WHEN YOU DEFY ME

New York Times bestselling author Beth Kery's addictive new novel continues as
Lucien and Elise are bound together by a dangerous desire--and the secret they
share.

Elise's teasing and impulsiveness have landed her
back at the erotic mercy of Lucien, who is determined to teach her
discipline--even if all he wants to do is to give in to the beast within and
consume her completely. When he discovers her in a dangerous situation that
could have been avoided, he punishes her--and once again tests the limits of his
own control. By dominating her, he hopes to teach her the meaning of
self-control through total submission. But even though he sets strict rules on
himself, he still isn't entirely prepared for feeling Elise shudder in
surrender in his arms.

Lucien challenges her, excites her...bewilders her
to the point of distraction. Does he want her, or doesn't he? Elise is afraid
to reveal to him just how vulnerable--just how naïve she is when it comes to
sexual games. None of her typical wiles work on him. And what brought Lucien to
Chicago with a new name and new identity? What does it have to do with his
industrialist father's disgraceful downfall? Who is Ian Noble, the provocative new
stranger in Lucien's shadow? And why has Lucien taken to following him in the
night? For Elise the answers will come soon enough. She has other things to
worry about now, such as Lucien's observance of her foolish behavior...and the
inevitable consequence to come.

From the Author

Dear Reader,

When I'm With You continues the story begun in Because You Are Mine, although this time the camera lens is focused on Lucien and Elise, whose undeniable and scorching desire for one another burns away surface facades, revealing secrets that will forever change Lucien, Elise, Ian and Francesca's lives.

Please note that like Because You Are Mine, When I'm With You will be released in eight parts, each installment debuting weekly.

I hope you enjoy watching Lucien and Elise's romance unfold, seeing Lucien's immense control tried by the irrepressible Elise, while the self-indulgent Elise is challenged sexually and emotionally by Lucien into fulfilling her full potential as a giving, caring and vibrant woman. In addition, the reader will get to see Ian and Francesca's love affair progress and face new challenges.

Look for more of Ian's and Francesca's love story in Because We Belong, out in November of 2013.

Happy Reading!

~Beth
