One Broken
Promise
A Citadel
Series Novella
By Deanndra Hall
Originally released as part of the Loving Dangerously Box Set
Synopsis
Hayden Patterson
has a simple rule.
And he’s never
broken it. Sleeping with a woman more than once simply isn’t going to happen.
He’s always managed to hang onto his resolve, and so far, no woman’s ever
blasted her way through. It’s one and done, with no prospect of ever having
anything permanent. His childhood gave him that thinking and he has no plans to
ever change.
Two women alone,
and one of them is in more danger than anyone realizes.
It’s hard being a
teenager. Kacey Flournoy knows that all too well. Stuck in a school district
full of snobby rich kids, she doesn’t fit in on her single mom’s salary. When
she’s cast as a bully, it only gets worse – especially since she’s the one
being bullied. And her poor mom, Delaina, doesn’t know what to do. Since
Kacey’s dad died while serving in the military, it’s all she can do to put food
on the table.
When Hayden draws
his first assignment through Citadel Security, he can’t believe it. No way does
he want to follow a poor little rich girl around all day to guard her from a
bully. It doesn’t take him long, however, to figure out that something’s
terribly wrong. And when he tries to right it, he meets the one woman who just
might make him break his long-standing promise. That would mean he’d have to
let go of the past, but he’s sure he’s not ready and he never will be.
A novella nestled
between the first and second books in the first spinoff series from the Love
Under Construction series, One Broken Promise takes the hunted to the hunter,
the oppressor to the oppressed, and one very scared man to a place that will
bring him to his knees. If you’ve ever been bullied, you’ll feel the pain. But
you’ll also taste the joy of a promise broken.
WARNING: Strong,
graphic sexual situations, a heinous criminal act against both an animal and a
person by a seriously sick individual, and a suicide. For readers 18+ only.
Meet the Author
For as long as I
can remember, I've been a writer . . .
and it has served
me well. I wrote for local publications, wrote marketing and advertising
materials, wrote for academic publications, and eventually grew jaded with the
writing profession as I often watched others take credit for my hard work. I
retreated into the world of 3-D art in the fiber and textile mediums and hid
out in a world of colors and textures. But, truth is, there was always a story
or two in my head. It wasn't until Nikki and I met in my imagination that I
decided it was time to let those stories out, and I'm glad I did. My readers
now get to enjoy the fruits of my imagination and, believe me, it runs wild!
On the personal
side, I've been happily married to my lover and best friend for over thirty
years, and I have two wonderful adult kids who've blessed me with two excellent
choices of life partners. When I'm not writing, I'm playing with my three crazy
little dogs, hiking in a local recreation area, kayaking, working out at the
gym, tending my herbs, cooking, or doing some kind of research.
But I'd really
rather be writing!
