  About Savage Company

  A second chance he’s not sure he deserves.

  Haring Kingston lost everything, because of the bad choices he made back home in D.C. Embarrassed at being saved by his sister, and his friends, he drowns himself in alcohol, and one-night stands. Until the femme fatale with the flaming red hair puts him in his place, and the man the world admires offers him the job of a lifetime.

  A secret that could kill them both.

  Natasha has a job to do, and his name is Haring Kingston. She doesn’t expect to fall for his cocky attitude, beautiful soul, or sexy hair. But, how can she resist all that? When she realizes can’t, she puts them both in danger, vowing to save his life over hers if it’s the only choice.

  The future they’re going to have to fight for.

  When the dust settles, and everything’s revealed, they both have choices to make. Will Haring forgive his Vixen for her lies? Can Natasha forgive him for his words? Friends and family try to intervene, but their love may be too savage to survive.

  Praise for Books by Crystal Perkins

  “People should be free to love whoever their heart leads them, too. And this author did a great job of presenting a passionate love between 2 people who are seen as different from each other as dictated by society, but this difference wasn't a part of the love they share. Ms. Perkins did an admirable job of dealing with the issue (and other issues) as a non issue, if that makes sense.” -DianeM, Amazon Reviewer, Creating A Love

  “I love this series!!!!!! Crystal has the amazing ability to bring her characters to life. I laugh with them, I hurt with them, I smile with them, and I cry with them.” -Jessica, Amazon reviewer, The Griffin Brothers series

  * * *

  “I love how Crystal makes the characters feel like real people.” -Tami, Amazon Reviewer, Learning To Love

  * * *

  “This is a lovely romance story that has a sexy sizzle to it but it's funny as well as it is somewhat edgy. I like that the hero has money but it's not the focal point in this story. I love that the heroine has problems but they are not so insurmountable that they take over the story. This is good old-fashioned romance done with a modern day twist. Well Done.” -Kindle Customer, Amazon Reviewer, Gaming For Love

  * * *

  “I found this book on Amazon yesterday and loved the cover. I read the synopsis and knew I had to get it. So I purchased it and started to read it right away. Oh my, I could not put the book down. I got so wrapped up in the story I was afraid to put my Kindle down or I would miss a part.” -Amazon Customer, Gaming For Love

  * * *

  “I thought this was a fantastic start to a series, and kind of first book of a series that makes you want to rush out and buy each additional book in the series. The premise of a strong group of women working together to help other women in need was pretty awesome. I loved how C0rrigan & Co was
a secret covert company along the same lines as the underground railroad but it saved women from sticky situations or abusive relationships.” -Aubrey, Romancing the Book blog, Fielding Her SECRET

  * * *

  “I had so many different emotions while reading. I was rooting people, wanting kick people, wanting to rip some peoples clothes off, laughing while reading, gasping out loud. Seriously, I read this like a crazy person. So much happened that I was not mentally prepared for. There were so many shockers while reading this I could not even think about putting the book down.” -Sabrina, Amazon Reviewer, Devouring the SECRET

  “Love this book the suspense and sex is EPIC.” -Teresa Jensen, Amazon Reviewer, Rocking a SECRET

  “Perkins breathes life into their characters and has the reader feeling their agony, pain, and even their love for one-another. I enjoy reading her books and learning more and more about each of the people that make up this secretive group.” -Dayreader Reviews, Corrigan & Co. series

  * * *

  “In the end I am somehow proud of you Crystal Perkins. How you portrayed Ellie and her and Aiden love. I know I have no right to be, and it's really not my place to say but I am proud I read it and I recommend it to all women so they can see how strong We can be.” -Marta Bukowska, Goodreads Reviewer, Tending Their SECRET

  “The story flowed well and kept my attention throughout. There was one part I was totally not expecting to happen. I love when that happens.” -Lisa Dess, Girls With Books blog, Training Her SECRET

  “Wow this story! There are some stories and characters that leave you speechless, breathless and at times slightly broken, and Loving my SECRET Matt & Reina's story is definitely one of them!” -Vicki Plant, Goodreads Reviewer, Loving My SECRET

  “I laughed I cried and there many times that I wanted to throw my device.” -Mallory, Goodreads Reviewer, Loving My SECRET

  “Perkins gives the reader a quick peak into the Weddings of the amazing ladies in the society. What a fun roller coaster ride it was.” -Taz Lozada, Goodreads Reviewer, Society Weddings

  “Good book and a really powerful message.” Petrina, Goodreads Reviewer, Society Girls: Jenysis

  “If you’re looking for a great book, this is the one.” Renee, Goodreads Reviewer, Society Girls: Kalila

  “I love these books!!!! I seem to read them in one sitting I just can't put them down!!!” Rita, Amazon Reviewer

  “This is the new series by a brilliant author and still incorporates the characters from her previous series. This book was brilliant, the author always writes about strong characters with a vulnerable side and she delivered once again. This book was one of her more lighthearted ones, but still had the angst I have come to associate with Crystal Perkins.” Natasha, Amazon Reviewer, Royal Company

  Things to Know

  If you haven’t read any of the Corrigan & Co. books, you can still read this book. I’m listing some info below that will be helpful to you!

  The Society: A secret group of female spies, operating out of the Corrigan & Co. Foundation. It was created by Jane Corrigan, Maggie Griffin, Helen Wilson, Mallory Daniels, and Cyndi Evans. They still make their presence known from time to time, but the Society is now run by Reina Corrigan. She is the wife of Jane’s grandson, Matt Corrigan, and someone not to be trifled with.

  The male characters in Company Men are all brothers, or friends, of the spies. Most of the women in the books will not know of their existence, since those who work for Corrigan & Co. have no idea what the beautiful women of the Foundation really do. Some are in awe of them, and some resent how they seem to come and go, and do whatever they want.

  Corrigan & Co.: Matthew Corrigan runs this public side of the company. One of the most powerful men in the world, he’s ruthless in business, and would do anything to protect his wife, and their friends. His brother, Miles, works alongside him, running the Acquisitions department, and doing what he can to help the Society women. His wife, Alex, runs the front desk at the Foundation. Their love story was in the book, Working on Love, which is always free in ebook format, on all platforms.

  Haring, in this book, is the brother of Matisse from Society Girls: Matisse. He was introduced in Tending Their SECRET, as a friend of Aiden Ford, whose father is the Vice-President of the United States, and wife, Ellie, is part of the Society. In Society Girls: Kalila, Theo had to help free him from a bad loan he accepted from D.C. mobsters. Besides having to give up his roller rink, he had to agree to never return to D.C. His safety depends on it.

  The Studkateers are what the men connected to the Society (including the Griffin brothers) call themselves. They have a strong friendship with each other, they’re hot, and I love The Three Musketeers, so why not?

  Confused? You can always message or email me if you need clarification on something!

  For anyone who’s ever had to start over again. You can do it!

  Prologue

  Haring

  Being exiled from the only city you've ever called home warrants a drink, or two. Or five. Maybe six. I've lost count as I sit at this bar I’ve been frequenting for the last couple of weeks. It’s far enough from where my sister and friends live to provide me the anonymity I crave, but close enough for me to be able to afford an Uber back to my apartment.

  "Are you going to leave any alcohol for the rest of us?"

  I look up into the face of a genuine femme fatale. She's got bright red hair that's styled in waves touching her shoulders, full red lips, and sparkling green eyes. Her body is encased in green satin, covering her from collarbone to knees, and the way it slides over her lush curves is sexy as hell.

  I wave the bartender over. "Give the lady whatever she'd like."

  "I didn't ask you to buy me a drink."

  "Didn't you?"

  "I thought you might be too drunk to notice the invite, but I guess I was wrong."

  "I'm not drunk. A little tipsy maybe, but not drunk." It's an important distinction for me right now. One I plan on holding onto.

  "Whatever you say."

  "My name is Haring, and I fuck hard, and rough. Anything else you need to know?"

  "Well, you're not red, so that's disappointing."

  It takes my fuzzy brain a moment to catch on to her joke, but I chuckle once I get it. "Haring, like the painter, not herring, like the fish."

  "Even more disappointing. Hmm...I should probably pay for my own drink."

  "You'd rather I be deceiving?"

  "Intriguing. I want to be intrigued, and dancing bodies with no faces don't do it for me."

  "Last time I looked in the mirror, I had a face, so I'm not seeing a problem here."

  "Yes, you have a very nice face, but all I can think about right now is those paintings your namesake created. I might even have nightmares tonight." She shudders a little to prove her point.

  "You're really going to let my name chase you away?"

  "Please don't talk about chasing. I was serious about the nightmares."

  "I could keep you awake all night."

  And damn if I don't want to. Keeping her up with my cock, my tongue, my fingers—whatever she wants—is a good plan, if only she’d get on board with it.

  "Tempting, but I'm afraid I have to pass. Thanks for the drink, Haring."

  She starts to sashay away on her high heels, but I call out to her. "You never told me your name."

  "No, I didn't."

  I shake my head, and smile, because I was completely outplayed by the sexy vixen. If her drink wasn't on my ta
b at the end of the night, I might think the alcohol made her materialize in my head. But, no, she was real. Real enough to make me want more than just a random hook-up for the first time in a long time, and that's not something I can let happen. Wanting just isn’t in the cards for me anymore.

  Natasha

  This is bad. Really bad. Extremely bad. The baddest. Most bad. Whatever the hell the correct way to say it is, I’m living it right now.

  Haring Kingston is not supposed to look that good in person. Sure, I saw the pictures, but Holy Hell, they didn't do him justice. His messy hair looks like he just rolled out of bed, and ran his hands through it. It nearly drove me crazy with the need to run my hands through it. His piercing blue eyes, and that damn beard didn't help either. None of it helped. He smelled like a forest on a cool Fall day, and his voice is made for sex, all deep and masculine. How am I supposed to resist all that combined? Or even just one part of it? Why is nothing ever simple in my world? Even just one thing being simple would be nice.
