Book excerpt: He dunked his bun into it and I almost spilled my drink as he took a bite then licked his lips. I remembered that kiss against my truck. I thought about the sweet one by the generator. My mind moved to the mindblowing night we’d spent together after the bar. I wanted to feel him relax under my hands. I wanted to hear those noises he made. I wanted those shy yeses to reach my ears when I asked him if what I was doing was okay. Having said that, I wanted him to stick around so I could try and get to know him better. I should probably just focus on quiet movie time. I finished my soup and sat back with a sigh. His eyes were on me and I cocked my head in question. I could see his anxiety slowly climbing. “Close your eyes, Trap.” I smiled when he did and instantly relaxed. My lips found his and he leaned into it. I pulled back. “What do you need?” He kissed me again. “A shower.” I started to laugh. “So have one.” His grin made my heart kick. Why the hell had a shower almost sent him running? He stood and held his hand out to me. Oh. Taylor All it takes is a few moments of sitting on the deck with Kit and, suddenly, he’s all I can think about. It doesn’t take long to realize that someone in his past hurt him badly, but for some reason, he trusts me. Until he doesn’t. Every time we start to get close, the man runs and disappears. Now, the question is: am I willing to risk my heart in an attempt to heal his? Kit I can’t be loved. It’s not something I dwell on, it’s just something that is. I've learned the hard way that there’s something about me that drives people away. I’ve come to terms with it. It is what it is. So, I have a rule. I don’t go home with anyone I might ever see again. Then, I meet Taylor. The man just won’t leave my mind and the next thing you know, I’m finding my way back to him. I know one thing: I can’t give him what he wants even if it’s the one one thing I want too.

Book excerpt: I turned and found myself looking into the barrel of a rifle. Holding it was a woman, though I was too busy trying to figure out if I could get the gun away from her before she could get off a shot to notice what she looked like. “I’m looking for Britt.” “Why?” “Why don’t you put that gun down before you hurt yourself.” Her eyebrows shot up before loading the weapon like a pro. Right. “I’ll ask again. Why are you creeping around here at night?” “First of all, it’s evening. Second, the door wasn’t locked. I knocked, but I figured no one heard me and that Britt was probably here in the shop.” “Britt is in the shop. You still haven’t told me why you’re looking for me.” I blinked. Britt was a woman. Yep. I was a dick for assuming. “Flipping Rat. He said he’d give you a heads up.” The rifle lowered slightly and moved just off center. “Ray sent you?” I let out a deep breath and ran my hands over my face. “Yeah. He said, ‘go to the shop. Britt is there and can get you the part you need.’...” She took the cartridge out of the chamber and set the gun down. “Maybe we can start over. Hi. My name is Britt.” Britt Living in a small town is hard on the dating life and dating apps aren’t much help these days. You see, I have a pretty specific plan in mind for my future and I’m not willing to settle for anything less. It doesn’t matter how many men tell me there’s no way I’ll find a guy who will agree to my terms. I don’t care what they say, I’ve always thought that when I met the right guy, I’d know. When Jack walks into my shop after closing and offers to help me with the storm shelter after the alerts go off, I start to think that maybe, just maybe, this man might be the one I’ve been waiting for… Jack Once upon a time, I thought I had it all; a job I loved, my little sister to raise, and a wife I adored. We were happy. Or at least, I thought we were. It’s been ten years since those divorce papers were signed and I’ve pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I’ll never find anyone who wants the same future as me. When I meet Britt, I have to remind myself that it doesn’t matter what I feel, things always work out the same way and I don’t think my heart can survive being broken again.

Book excerpt: I woke up to Callie draped over me, her thigh wedged between my legs, her head on my chest, her hand on my bicep. Carefully, I started to move her to the side. She was about to wake up to the product of a very inappropriate dream I’d been having about her. “Hmmm. Don’t move,” she mumbled. I did as she said. She pressed her thigh down and I couldn’t stop the groan. I heard her breath hitch softly in her throat as she shifted against my hip. Holy shit. Was she… Her grip on my arm tightened. She went still again for a moment before moving again, this time, a little harder. I swore. Maybe she was still asleep? I mean, I wasn’t complaining. If she wanted to get off, I was more than happy to help. This was hot as hell. Having said that, I wouldn’t mind being more involved in the process if she’d let me. “I was dreaming about you,” she whispered. Callie Three years ago, my life imploded after I lost my sister. Unable to stay where everyone insisted on speculating and gossiping about what happened, I moved to Granger Springs to start over. It’s been a good three years and I’m happy. Then I meet Morgan. Team leader for Daisy Security, the man is all growls and frowns. I have no idea how to take him. He looks so annoyed by everything I do, but every time I turn around, there he is. And I’m not going to lie, I really like it… Morgan “You’re really grumpy, Uncle Morgan.” I have to admit, my tiny niece is right. I’ve been one hell of a grump lately. It's been five years since my wife Daisy passed away and the thought of moving base to Granger Springs and leaving our house behind has me in a bad mood. When I find Callie stranded on the side of the road, I don’t know what to make of her. She’s… bubbly. Smiley. Happy. Nice to everyone. The woman skips, for crying out loud. She confuses the hell out of me. Just as I'm starting to figure out how I feel, someone from her past shows up thinking he's going to take her from me. What he doesn't realize is that I've only ever loved two women, and I'm not willing to give up the one that's still alive...

Book excerpt: She glanced up at me. “Why are you here?” “I… I was worried about you. I wanted to make sure you were alright.” “Do you usually track down the daughters of the criminals you put away?” I shook my head. “No. You’re the first.” I drove us to a small cafe and we ordered sandwiches and coffee to go, then I went to park in a field. I opened the hatch and sat, slapping the space beside me. “You still haven’t told me why.” “Honestly? I don’t know why. I saw you by the van at your parents’ and… Jesus, Angel, even if we hadn’t gone to the shed, I’d have ended up here anyway. She blushed and her freckles disappeared. “You’re stuck in my head, Hanna, and I can’t get you out of it.” Hanna I’ve always been different. Just the short girl with too many curves and messed up eyes. I’m used to the stares and the whispers. Then, I meet Dean and he stares too, but the look in his eyes sets me on fire. Unfortunately, he’s not the only man’s attention I’ve caught and I disappear from Dean’s life without an explanation. When I reappear a year later, I know there’s no way he’ll ever want me again, but I hope he can forgive me just enough to help me. Dean What do you do when the love of your life disappears without an explanation? You forget about her (yeah, right). When Hanna phones me asking for help a year later, I go to her for a couple of reasons. One, I want to find out what happened. Two, I’ve never been able to tell the woman no and it seems that’s still a thing. When I find out why she disappeared, I make her a promise: I will help her, people will die, and she’ll remember that above all else, I will always love her. **Readers please be aware that this story has elements of human trafficking and sexual assault though they are not described in detail.

Book excerpt: Love letters are potent. They breathe. They speak. They can arouse, comfort, captivate. They can also cut deep. The powerful, deeply personal letters collected here reveal the painful underside of love. Witness Winston Churchill 'growl with anger to be treated with benevolent indifference' and Edith Piaf reel in the throes of a 'terrible' passion. Through the letters of literary icons Charlotte Brontë, Oscar Wilde and Virginia Woolf, Hollywood stars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton and statesmen Henry VIII and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Yours Always offers an unusually intimate insight into the lives of such illustrious figures. Love is revealed here in its many shades of disharmony and confusion: unrequited, uncertain, imbalanced, unconventional, thwarted, failed and forbidden. Love is not always rose-tinted, and Yours Always illuminates the sorrows that can accompany falling in, falling out, and staying in love. Includes letter to and from: Charlotte Brontë, Richard Burton, Lord Byron, Winston Churchill, Marie Curie, Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway, Henry VIII, Ted Hughes, Graham Greene, Franz Kafka, Marilyn Monroe, Iris Murdoch, Edith Piaf, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Elizabeth Taylor, Oscar Wilde, Virginia Woolf, W.B. Yeats
