HAPPILY
NEVER AFTER

BLURB:
Dallas
ADA Kelsey Brackston survives a brutal attack but struggles with
PTSD. When someone begins to stalk her, she relocates hoping for a
new start. A person can’t be hurt if they can’t be found. Her
logic seems flawed when someone tries to kill her—again.
This
could be Bode Taggert’s last chance at being a cop after crawling
out of a bottle. Focused on the job, he avoids personal commitments.
Something within him resonates with the lady ADA. Maybe it’s her
desire to move forward after a life altering event. Or not being able
to move forward no matter how hard you try.
Despite
his good intentions, Bode falls for the sexy lawyer. While he and the
police concentrate on arresting her stalker, Kelsey vanishes. With
his career—and heart—on the line, Bode will stop at nothing to
find her. But will their newfound faith in one another be enough to
save the day? Or will their inner demons destroy them both?

Excerpt
The
corners of her mouth twitched. “Okay, I’m impressed. What else do
you do besides being super cop and community activist?”
A
devilish smile made a shiver run down her back. “Well, lately I’ve
been chasing a stubborn little gal who won’t let me catch her.”
She
grunted. “You haven’t been chasing very hard.”
His eyes
twinkled. “Are you complaining?”
“Hardly.
I’m just stating the facts.”
“Well,
the fact is, after our last meeting I got the idea you needed a
little space from me trying to woo you.”
She
choked on a swallow of wine. “Woo, me? What is that even supposed
to mean?”
His hand
patted her back making sure she could breathe. “You know, date you.
I seem to have a knack for making you mad, so I decided to back off
and give you some time to miss me. Did you?”

ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting me today! I'd fallen in love with these two characters by the time I typed The End and I hope readers will too. I'll stop back by later to see if there are any questions. Have a great one.
ReplyDeleteRomance and intrigue, sounds like a fun read!
