Drew Duncan swore he’d never go back to Ember Falls again. After he was wrongfully charged with his high school girlfriend’s murder, he waited for a trial that never came. When he was released from jail a year later, he left everything behind. But when his sister is murdered, Drew is forced to return to the hometown where he and his sisters were brutalized by their alcoholic father.
Once back, not even his training as a Marine and point man for McAlister Security prepares Drew for what he must face--a surviving sister who refuses to forgive him for abandoning her, a nephew who trembles when he enters the room, and an entire town that thinks he got away with murder. To protect his nephew, Drew will face his most terrifying fear. Going home.
Excerpts:
Drew’s hungry gaze wandered
over her for a few moments, and then slowly she walked to the bed. Reaching
down, she grabbed him again, feeling his erection, the heat that told her he
was more than ready.
She started to move in to
kiss him, when he pulled his head back.
“Um…” Drew mumbled. “Do you
have…you know…”
She blinked as she drew
back, her hand still wrapped around him. “Wait, don’t you have a condom?”
Disappointment flooded his
face. “No. I was on assignment when I came to Ember Falls, I never expected…And
I didn’t think this would happen when I drove over…”
Sam frowned. “I don’t…” She
shook her head in frustration as she sat on the bed, next to Drew. “I haven’t
dated since I came to Ember Falls, despite Nana’s complaining that I…” Sam’s
eyes lit up. “Nana!”
She started to get up, but
Drew grabbed her hand. “Wait, you’re not going to call her, are you? I could
run to the store.”
Sam laughed. “Good luck
getting that into your jeans again. Besides, it’s pouring out there. I don’t
want you on the road. Stay here.” She leaned down, kissed him hard while
stroking him softly for a moment. “Exactly where and how you are.”
With one last kiss, she ran
out of the room, laughing as Drew groaned from down the hall.
Moments later, she returned,
carrying a shoebox.
“Not that I have anything
against stiletto heels,” Drew said, eyeing the box she placed on the dresser
next to the bed, “But I don’t think this is anything that’s going to help.”
Sam grinned, feeling a
little silly now that the mood had been broken and she was still standing naked
in front of Drew, although she planned on making that as short-lived as
possible. “These are actually Nana’s,” Sam said, winking at Drew. “She told me
where they were so if I ever, and these are here words, ‘got my hot little
booty out there and decided to get me some’, I’d know where her stash was. She
had them in a drawer.”
Drew looked surprised. “Your
Nana has a box of condoms? And you’re okay using one?”
Sam’s eyes drifted down.
“Nana would never forgive me if I didn’t.” She lifted the lid. “Besides, I’m
trying not to think about it. Or for that matter what else she had in there.”
Ignoring the alarmed look on Drew’s face, Sam flipped open the box and gasped.
“Holy crap, Nana.”
