"A smash hit! Don't miss this one!" Romantic Times Bookclub

Sizzling storyteller Tori Carrington delightfully shows that naughty little secrets can be a very nice thing to have…

When Mallory, Layla, Reilly and Jack became best friends, the three women agreed that their tall, gorgeous male buddy was off limits. Only Mallory ended up toppling into bed with Jack that very night. And she hasn’t been able to keep her eyes—or hands—off of him since. Only little does she realize that their blazing secret love affair is quickly burning out of control…..

Nothing can describe how good Jack feels with Mallory hot and wanting in his arms. But illicit sex just isn’t cutting it for him anymore. Jack wants to bring their relationship out from under the covers. Mallory, however, likes keeping him—and everybody else—in the dark. Still, with the heat the two of them generate, something is bound to be exposed soon. And Jack can only hope its Mallory…

Reviews

"JUST BETWEEN US...is a smash hit! Mallory Woodruff, wannabe doumentary maker, and Jack Denieals, columnist and wannabe novelist, have been friends for a long time; over the years, they have jumped into bed with one another but never made any commitments. Now Jack wants a life with Mallory, who'se commitment-shy but unwilling to give up the incredible sex they have. What's a girl to do? Don't miss this one! these characters sizzle and have a chemistry that turns their weaknesses into strengths. A real winner!" 4 1/2 Top Pick - Cindy Whitesel, Romantic Times Bookclub

"JUST BETWEEN US is the funny, hot, sexy read that fans of Tori Carrington like myself, know and love. I love trying to see how far Tori Carrington will push the envelope and I have not been disappointed yet.

"The only thing I hated about JUST BETWEEN US was saying goodbye to Jack, Mallory, Layla, Sam, Ben and Reilly. It may say winter on the calendar, but JUST BETWEEN US will make you feel like its summer outside." Barb Hicks, The Best Reviews

"Just Between Us is a completely irresistible romance where the characters come to life and leap from the pages right into readers' hearts. When it comes to wickedly fun, passionate romances, Tori Carrington excels! This is a phenomenal romance that engages all the senses and skyrockets to the top of must read piles everywhere. A romance that is definitely destined for keeper shelves." Diana Tidlund, Writers Unlimited

"WOW... what an end to an awesome miniseries. Not only does Tori Carrington give us a story about Mallory and Jack, but we get to see what's happening with Layla, Sam, Reilly and Ben. And boy are there things happening with them too. Mallory's "don't care" attitude does make you want to shake her sometimes. Jack's a great guy and so what about a promise. Especially if it means losing a guy you are gaga over. But poor Mallory is playing the tough girl when we all know that she is really a softie inside. This book keeps you enthralled from the very beginning. Be sure to put this on your to read list. It's definitely a keeper for my shelf."
Bea Sigman, In the Library Reviews

"Tori Carrington brings together two of romances most important elements... a great storyline and hot and sexy love scenes. She takes an old story and gives it a new twist—a guy who wants more than a sexual relationship; a guy who learns about sex with love. The role reversal makes for a very interesting story that should keep you wondering right up until the very last page. If you liked Friends Monica and Chandler twist, you'll love this story. There's something fresh and unique in Carrington's writing that draws you into the story. It is a story where you will find real people with real hopes and dreams, real ups and downs. Put this red-hot read on your things to do list. You won't be sorry." Kelly McDonough, The Best Reviews

"A juicy hot tamale JUST BETWEEN US fans of Team Carrington, this is an amusing torrid romance that burns up the sheets (of the novel as much as the boudoir). Mallory is an intriguing protagonist who feels commitment to the man she loves that she fears will cost her commitment to the career that means everything. Jack is heroic as he plays cat and mouse with his phobic beloved to show there is room for a permanent duet helping each other achieves their best artistic endeavor. This is another winner from one of the best writers of the sexy romance." Harriet Klausner, Review Archive

"Just Between Us is filled with danger, suspense, and just plain havoc caused by Mallory’s snooping into the death of the Hollywood Starlet known as the Red Gardenia. The excitement builds, and you still don’t know whether Mallory is going to face up to her feelings, or run away yet again. Jack can only hope that Mallory will see the light, and what started out as a secret Just Between Us will become more than just sex for her as well. He knows where he stands, the questions boil down to these…where is Mallory’s heart, and can Jack have it forever? Just Between Us is a delightful wrap up and a bundle of surprises. It is available now from Harlequin Blaze, so saddle up and head out for the local bookstore. Don’t let this delightfully steamy offering get away, for Tori has given us yet another must buy for our keeper shelves." Rosemarie Brungard, Romance at Heart and Heartstrings

"Mallory and Jack sizzle off the pages of JUST BETWEEN US. Ms. Carrington has taken four friends and given them a story worthy of reading over and over again. JUST BETWEEN US is filled with humorous moments, hot passion, and a lot of emotional upheaval. Jack comes from a wealthy background; his parents are stiff and unapproachable, and he's also an alcoholic. He's been on the wagon for a while now, but still, the temptation is there. Mallory is a do it all on her own kind of gal. When her friends give her money to make her latest documentary, a story on the Red Gardenia, she tries to give it back. Her mother mooches off others, and Mallory does not want to be like her mother. If that's not enough, Reilly and Layla have called off their weddings, and they want to know why Jack and Mallory aren't having sex anymore. Hey! That's nobody's business but Jack and hers. I won't say anymore, because I don't want to give the story away. You'll just have to read it yourself.

"The very talented team that makes up Tori Carrington has done it once again. They have written a story that explodes with passion, emotion, and love. Jack and Mallory are so much alike that neither of them can see it. But, one thing they both know for sure is that together they have great sex. Oh, but they discover it's so much more. I laughed and I even cried throughout some of the story, it was so darn good. I'm telling you right now, if you've never read Tori Carrington, then what are you waiting for? Pick up JUST BETWEEN US, dive between the pages and see this talented duo go to work." Sinclair Reid, Romance Reviews Today

Dear Reader,

Sugar ‘n' Spice and everything naughty has been the theme of the first two books in our Kiss & Tell miniseries and we see no reason to stop now! Not when the two remaining characters Mallory Woodruff and Jack Daniels have been indulging in some, um, under the covers activity without telling their friends…or anyone else!

In JUST BETWEEN US…, documentary producer Mallory Woodruff figures she has the best of both worlds when she and newspaper columnist Jack Daniels become lovers. But when Jack suggests they let the world in on their little secret, Mallory balks, making him feel like he’s being used simply for sex. What happens when he refuses to give her what she so desires? The battle of the sexes has never been so hot…

We hope you enjoy Mallory and Jack’s sassy adventure! We’d love to hear what you think. Write to us at P.O. Box 12271, Toledo, OH 43612 (we’ll respond with a signed bookplate, newsletter and bookmark), or email us at karayianni@aol.com.

Here’s wishing you love, romance and hot reading!

Dedication

We whole-heartedly dedicate this book to our fellow dreamers:

Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their mind, wake in the morning to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people, for they dream their dreams with open eyes, and make them come true.
--T.E. Lawrence


Excerpt from JUST BETWEEN US:

“Damn, you’ve got a great butt.”

On all fours, Mallory gave Jack a ‘come hither’ look over her shoulder. “And what do you want to do to it, Jack?”

His surprised gaze flicked to her face. “As in?”

She reached back and gave an experimental smack to her left cheek. “Do you want to spank it? After all, I’ve been a very naughty girl.”

And she had been naughty. Jack clearly wanted more out of their relationship, yet she had told him that, as far as she was concerned, their relationship was nothing more than sex. Even though she knew that wasn’t entirely true.

She heard his low, primal growl as he knelt on the bed behind her. “I don’t know…do you want to be spanked?” he rasped.

“I might be interested in a love tap or two.” Mallory wiggled her bottom and he grasped her hip, his fingers denting her flesh.

She felt a light, stinging smack to her right cheek and gasped.

“Hold still then, naughty girl, and take your punishment,” he said wickedly. “But don’t worry. I promise I’ll kiss it all better…”
