Blurb:
Control can be a wonderful
feeling, especially when you’re an alpha like Garrett Waters. But how do you control a beast from the past
intent on destroying everything you hold dear?
He’d already lost his parents and aunt, but now threats against him, his
fiancé, Laurel Hart, and their unborn child pushes him into hiding to try and
protect all he cares for. Can he outsmart Walt Peterson and regain control or
will he lose everything he’s come to trust and love, including his own life?
Laurel Hart’s life has been
upended, with one traumatic event after another, but she’s survived thanks to
her family and Garrett. She’s learned to trust in Garrett’s love for her;
letting go of her past, and his, has opened her up to the idea of learning to
love again. Will her trust and affection
be short lived with Chase Peterson hot on her trail, determined to make her his,
or will justice prevail and allow them to finally live in peace and have their
happily ever after?
It will be a heart pounding race
to the finish for both Garrett and Laurel, with surprises around every
corner.
Excerpt #1:
I
could feel my body shivering over the thoughts roaming around in my mind and
soon felt the comfort of an extra blanket being pulled over me and the warmth
of a warm body surrounding me. I jumped at the contact of an arm wrapping
around my waist.
“No
need for alarm, darling, it’s just me,” Garrett whispered softly into my ear as
he placed a gentle kiss along the side of my neck.
I
opened my eyes slowly and turned towards him, letting my head fall against his
shoulder and snuggling deeper into his form, breathing in his intoxicating
vanilla musk fragrance. He cradled me closer as one of his hands ran soft
strokes up and down my spine.
I
rubbed my nose against his until his lips found mine. His tongue traced the
outer edges of my mouth, nipping me on the corner with his teeth, causing me to
open right before he plunged in. I could feel his manhood harden against my
thigh as his hands began to feel upwards towards my breasts, squeezing them
firmly.
I
felt lost in the moment until he pulled back.
“Laurel, we need to
stop.”
But why? My heart shattered. The fear of
rejection coursed through me, wondering if I’d hurt him to the point he didn’t
want me anymore. I quickly turned on my side and scooted away from him, but not
before he pulled me back against his full length. He kissed the side of my neck
and nuzzled into it, breathing in my scent.
“It’s
not that I don’t want you. You have no idea how badly I want to tie you to this
bed so I know you won’t run from me again, and take you with everything that I
have.” He turned me so I could see his face. “I need you, but we’re on approach
for the airport and will be landing in ten minutes. That’s not enough time to
do everything I crave. We’ll have to wait until we get back to the penthouse
and let everyone see that you’re okay first.”
I
realized what he was saying and started to get up and collect my shoes so I
could return to my seat for landing. I was reaching for the door when I felt
him press up against me and whisper, “Just wait until everyone leaves tonight,
because then you’re mine!” he growled
as he bit gently into my earlobe and thrust his manhood against my bottom. He
always did know how to take my breath away.
I'll post Excerpt # 2 in a day or so.
