Janey Mackay wants nothing more than to forget the hell that her father put her through and get on with her life. She’s ready to take over the restaurant her father left and turn it into the thriving business she knows it can be, but her brother Natches would rather get rid of the restaurant altogether and lock Janey up in a room where no one and nothing could hurt her.

Natches isn’t the only one that’s overprotective of Janey; Alex Jansen has had his eye set on her for a long time but has been waiting on her to grow up. Now that she has, Alex is ready to pursue a relationship with her even though he knows that to do so would mean that Natches would come after him.

With Janey’s father dead, everyone assumes the threat against Janey has died with him, but they learn how wrong they were when threatening letters start showing up addressed to her. Now Alex has vowed to protect Janey at any cost and neither is sure what the other’s motivations are concerning their relationship.

I’ve been eager to read Janey’s story and have to say that Ms. Leigh has done an outstanding job in telling it. The chemistry and passion between Alex and Janey overflowed from the pages, and it was nice to see Janey get a chance to stand on her own and be a survivor instead of just a victim.

Nauti Intentions is a great tale that readers won’t want to miss.
