    About this ebook

    When Sierra Taylor’s brother, Zack, fell in love with a spy from the Society, she wished she could join the secret group. Knowing that wasn’t an option, she went back to work at the auction house in her hometown. Now, with Reina Corrigan running things, the Society has recruited her as a trainee. She’s not worried about passing the classes on etiquette, technology, or even hand to hand combat. It’s mastering languages that’s giving her a hard time. Or at least one language in particular: Portuguese. The language that her brother’s infuriating friend can help her with—at a price she knows she shouldn’t want to pay.

    Joel Cruz was born in Brazil, but has lived in the States for most of his life. The son of diplomats, he found his calling when he first picked up a baseball bat. He also found himself surrounded by plenty of women willing to be on his arm in public, and in his bed at night. Sierra Taylor is one of the only women who has ever said no to him. Unfortunately for her, she needs his help, and in order to receive it, she’ll have to say yes. To everything—and anything—he wants from her.
    Training in the Society is pass or fail, and failure is not an option Sierra’s willing to consider. Can she master the language, while keeping the player out of her heart? Or will she strike out on both counts, and lose it all?

      Training in the Society is pass or fail, and failure is not an option Sierra’s willing to consider. Can she master the language, while keeping the player out of her heart? Or will she strike out on both counts, and lose it all?

      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 Bukoswka, 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

      The Corrigan & Co. Foundation is a cover for the Society, a group of women helping to rid the world of evil, and right ever wrong that they can. Originally founded by five powerful women, leadership of this secret group is now in the hands of Reina Corrigan, and her nine friends. The ten veterans are training ten new agents, from all walks of life, to replace them in the field. Just like those before them, the new recruits will need to find a way to balance falling in love with honoring their commitment, and passing their rigorous training. The Society isn’t just a job, it’s a way of life. Training is necessary, loyalty is non-negotiable, and failure is never an option!

      For all of you who wanted to know about how the Society girls were trained, and asked me to peel back the layers of my secret society, this new series is for you!

      The Beginning

      Sierra

      When Reina Corrigan calls and asks you to come to her office, you don’t say no. At least, I don’t, and I think I’d be hard pressed to find anyone else who’d say no to her, either. She’s intimidating as Hell, even though I know she’s super cool, too. Anyway, here I am, waiting in the lobby of the Corrigan & Co. Foundation. Trying not to bite my nails, or fidget too much as Alex Corrigan smiles at me.

      You can go in now, Sierra, she tells me.

      Thanks.

      I make my way down the hall and raise my hand to knock. The double doors of Reina’s office open before my hand can connect. I chuckle as I look inside, seeing my sister-in-law, Ainsley, and her friend Darcy inside the office as well as Reina and Jane Corrigan.

      Please come in, Sierra, Reina tells me with a smile.

      I walk in and take the open seat next to Darcy. I didn’t realize this was a group thing, I say, pulling at the bottom of my patterned blouse as I bite my lip. I have no idea why I’m here, and I’m honestly even more confused right now than I was sitting out there waiting.

      I’m sorry for all of the secrecy, but even though you know what we really do here, what we need to discuss with you is something new, and, well, pretty exciting for us.

      I do know what really goes on here. Besides the great work the Foundation does publicly, they do even more privately. The women of the Society are spies. Ten agents who go undercover, and help right the wrongs that are committed against those who can’t protect themselves. They also sometimes take on private jobs, like figuring out who’s trying to sabotage a football team. Which is how I found out about them—they saved me, my brother, and a whole football stadium full of players and fans.

      Ainsley was undercover, and while Zack was pissed at her for it, I was intrigued. Since then, she’s taught me how to shoot a gun and use other weapons, how to hack into computer systems, and some other really cool things. There’s never been a guarantee that a Society position would open up, but I’m in a good position should that happen. I’m hoping it’s happening right now.

      What’s new? I ask, trying to hide my excitement.

      As you are well aware, every woman in the Society is currently married, some are having babies, and pretty much everyone has been in the public eye recently. As a result, we’ve decided to bring in a whole new group of women, all at once for the first time, to train as agents.

      Yes.

      We haven’t asked you anything, my dear. Jane reminds me with a smile.

      Oh. I just thought…I mean…why am I here?

      So we can ask you if you want to try to become one of us, Darcy tells me with a laugh.

      Yes. I want to. Yes. I don’t even care that I sound like an idiot. I want this.

      It’s not going to be easy. You will have to pass ten different areas of training. Some may be easier for you than others, but all need to be mastered. There’s only pass or fail with us. We can’t have it any other way, because when we go out on missions, lives are at stake, Reina tells me.

      I understand.

      I’ve shown her some things already. I have faith in her, Ainsley says.

      Thanks, I tell her.

      We all have faith in you, Sierra. You wouldn’t be here otherwise, Reina lets me know.

      What do I have to do?

      As for right now, nothing. I—we—want to take the time to make sure we do this right, since it’s never been done before with ten women at once. I’m anticipating that it will take around a year to get things up and running. In the meantime, go about your daily life almost like you normally would.

      Almost?

      Yes, she tells me with a smile. I want you to pay closer attention to what is going on around you. Both in your daily interactions, and in the news. While you may not be officially training yet, it’s going to be beneficial for you to start working on things already. Keep going to the gun range and working on your computer skills.

      Okay. I can do that. There’s just one thing, it’s something I’m worried about because of what she said about why they are doing this.

      You’re worried about being in the spotlight.

      Yes. There have been some new stories on our family, and while I’m not a household name, there are people who know who I am. That just comes with the territory when your brother’s a football god.

      We’re actually thinking we can use it to our advantage. Just like with Ainsley, Darcy, Audrey, and me, you’ll be invited places that we need to get into. Other times, we’ll teach you how to disguise yourself to blend in.

      That’s a relief.

      You wouldn’t be here if Reina thought there’d be a problem, Jane tells me.

      So when the year is up, what happens?

      It may be less than a year, but when the time comes, you’ll move into an apartment in our building and start training. Darcy will be mentoring you, and while you’ll have some free time, most of your days and nights will be spent trying to pass your classes.

      You’re mentoring me, Darce? I ask.

      Yes. When you let me hide out with you last year, you told me you wanted to be one of us, and also that you didn’t want it to be because I was kicked out. You impressed me, and I want the chance to help you through this. I won’t go easy on you, but I’ll support you however I can.

      I didn’t think I could be impartial, Ainsley explains, looking worried.

      It’s fine, I tell her. I can’t wait to work with all of you, and I’m glad to have Darcy as my mentor. I won’t fail. I promise
