   Planning a wedding is never easy—especially when the Russian Mafia wants you dead. On Best Behavior—the third and final book in The Conduct Series—finds our favorite couple moving forward, despite the odds. Following a pardon by the Governor of Illinois, ex-cons Sophie Taylor and Grant Madsen are finally free to pursue their love and the life that lies ahead for them. Grant now fights the forces that have hurt his loved ones by working undercover for the FBI, and he has infiltrated the Russian Mafia in Chicago. Sophie dives into swimming with Grant’s nephew, Ben, and into her career as a psychology professor. Thankfully, now it’s Ben’s turn to heal through therapy sessions with Dr. Hunter Hayes.

With so many things going right for Grant and Sophie, it's too bad the Russians aren’t their only threat. When Grant’s father, Enzo Barberi, discovers his own son thwarted his plan to break out of prison, his overdeveloped sense of vengeance flares to life. As Sophie scrambles to save her fiancé, it's impossible to say who will kill Grant first—the Russians or his Italian family. Can love triumph over evil? Are hard work and a pledge to be on best behavior ever enough? Once again, author Jennifer Lane brings a harrowing tale of romantic suspense with a psychological twist, and it's sure to leave readers breathless.

 

 

 

 

Excerpt 1

Glancing at the TV, he saw the menu screen for Titanic. She

must have fallen asleep watching the DVD, and she’d muted the
sound before drifting off. The remote rested on her upturned palm.
As he reached for the remote, his hand paused midair.
“Ahhhhh…” she moaned.
He looked up to see her mouth twitch into a small grin. He
wished he could be in the dream with her—it seemed like a fantastic time. As he slid the remote from her grasp, she stirred, much
to his dismay.

She gave him a dreamy smile. “You’re home.”

“And you’re adorable.” Never taking his eyes off hers, he set the

remote on the coffee table and leaned down for a kiss. There was

an open box of Girl Scout cookies on the table, and she tasted like

chocolate mint. Once their lips met, his time apart from her floated

away. Each kiss was a reconnection…a homecoming.

He gave her some space, and she stretched, catlike, lifting her

arms above her head and curling her toes. She yawned and frowned.
“Aw, I missed the end.”

He smirked. “I’ve got a secret for you.” He planted soft kisses

along the warmth of her jawline, then murmured in her ear, “The

ship sinks.”
