Blurb:

Homeless Army veteran Sullivan Turner is nobody’s hero.  His failure to save his fallen comrades proved that.  So when a gutsy social worker gets caught in a drug gang’s crosshairs, he knows he’s the last man who can safeguard her and the pregnant teenagers she’s trying to protect.  

Former debutante Haley Barnes learned the hard way how to survive.  After witnessing a cold-blooded murder, the terrified teenaged runaway changed her identity and hid to save her life.  But when the killer tracks her down and attacks the girls in the homeless shelter she now runs, Haley knows the time has come to stand and fight.  But to bring down the powerful killer she must confront her high-society family’s darkest secrets — and convince wounded warrior Sully Turner he’s the hero she believes.

Excerpt:

“Then you’ll do what they say?  You’ll go to a safe house?”

“No.  Not yet.  I can’t,” she added when he hissed.  “I have to try to get answers.  If my parents won’t talk, if I don’t learn anything at the fundraiser, then I’ll reconsider my plan.  But I have to give it a shot.”

Frustrated, he gripped the back of his neck.  He was starting to realize how she’d survived the streets — she was too damned stubborn to quit.  “Then at least take a cop as your bodyguard.”

“No.  It’s either you or no one.  I won’t change my mind about that.  I can’t.  I’ll never figure out who’s involved if I tip him off.” 

His jaw clenched.  Dread mingled with desperation at the thought of her taking on the killer alone.  “That’s not fair.”

A sad smile curved her lips.  “Don’t worry, Sully.  I don’t blame you for not wanting to do this.  I’ve already involved you enough.”

Suddenly feeling cornered, Sully turned to the window and scowled out at the city lights.  She’d just given him an out.  He should leave right now while he still could.  But he couldn’t let her go to that fundraiser alone.  He’d never forgive himself if she got killed.

But how could he protect her?  He was the worst possible man for the job.  He swung around to face her again.  “For God’s sakes, Haley.  Why can’t you understand this?  I’m not the man you need.”

“But you’re the one I want.

I should have known I would end up here... Give me a good book and I'm in heaven. Especially romance, mystery, mayhem, the fantastic and the fey. Give me a laptop and I'm writing any one of these, and not in any particular order.
