Description:

To
survive, she must put the past behind her. To love, she must learn to trust.

Homicide
detective Leigh McBride’s first assignment with the FBI brings her face-to-face
with a past she’s tried hard to forget. And when her temporary partner, a
cynical ex-marine, lights a fire in her she thought long-extinguished, her
darkest secret is threatened.

Scarred
both physically and emotionally, Special Agent J. T. Noble is a man of few
words. He prefers to keep people at a distance—until he meets Leigh. He’s
attracted to her strength and drawn in by her secrecy. But in their line of
work, secrets can be deadly.

When
the killer they are hunting aims his vigilante justice at Leigh’s past
assailant, the fine line between right and wrong blurs. To heal the past—and
find their future together—Leigh and J. T. must learn that only through trust
and forgiveness can love grow.

Warning:
This title is intended for readers over the age of 18 as it contains adult
sexual situations and/or adult language, and may be considered offensive to
some readers.

 

Excerpt:

Ethan
turned his head sideways as he studied J.T.’s face. Wide eyed, the boy pointed
at the scar with his index finger. J.T. wasn’t surprised. The kid was probably
curious.

“How’d
you get that?”

“A
piece of shrapnel—” He paused and considered Ethan’s age. “I was in the war. A
bomb went off and a piece of metal smacked me in the face.”

“Does
it hurt?”

“Not
anymore.” J.T. marveled at the innocence in Ethan’s eyes.

“Can
I touch it?”

“I
guess so.” J.T. breathed in and waited. Ethan hesitated, leaning closer.

“I’m
not supposed to talk about your scar.”

“Who
said?”

“Mama.”

 “It’s okay. I won’t tell.”

J.T.
turned his head to the side. No one had outright asked to touch the constant
reminder of a day when his best friend caught the worst of an IUD. Hell, people
shied away from his right side. Except Leigh, she looked him square in the
face. He lay still while Ethan poked a finger into the scar a couple of times.
After a few seconds of investigation, the kid cupped the scar with his small hand
and patted lightly. The oddest thing happened to J.T.’s heart. It swelled
inside his chest and then clenched.

“Mama
said you were a brave soldier.”

Alien
emotions swirled through J.T. and an unexplained urge to hug Ethan put a weird
lump in J.T.’s throat. Unable to cope or understand, his mind raced for an
idea, anything to end the moment.

 

About
the Author:

A
student of creative writing in her youth, Jerrie set aside her passion when
life presented her with a John Wayne husband, and two wonderful children. A
career in logistics offered her the opportunity to travel to many beautiful
locations in America, and she revisits them in her romantic suspense novels.

But
the characters went with her, talked to her, and insisted she share their dark,
sexy stories with others. She writes alpha males and kick-ass women who weave
their way through death and fear to emerge stronger because of, and on occasion
in spite of, their love for each other. She likes to torture people, make them
suffer, and if they’re strong enough, they live happily ever after.

The
author of THE GREEN-EYED DOLL, THE LAST EXECUTION, and her latest release, HELL
or HIGH WATER, Book 1 in the Lost and Found, Inc. Series, Jerrie lives in
Texas, loves sunshine, children’s laughter, sugar (human and granulated), and
researching for her heroes and heroines.
