Synopsis
Learning to find strength in
brokenness…
Fashion designer Sofie Fields may
seem to have a perfect life from the outside. The wounds she carries are the
emotional kind, and since she refuses to get close to anyone, they remain. She
once knew a great love, but a sequence of events forced her into a choice she
thinks is unsurvivable. A loveless marriage leaves her empty, damaged. The only
light is the step-daughter she clings to and adores. After her divorce, Sofie
is certain the love from her past is lost forever. A deathbed confession
changes it all.
Alex Strand is a successful
attorney and the middle child who is in one way or another helping out his
brothers, Nik and Even. All the Strand brothers are known for their Viking-like
stature along with good looks, but Alex is by far the one who turns the most
heads. His movie star appearance coupled with laid back charm is beyond
appealing, yet if one cares to look deeper they will see it’s a façade. Alex
hides secrets well until the skeletons he’s kept begin to break out, one by
one.
The game to catch a madman
continues. Alex is desperately in search of evidence necessary to bring down
Senator Caleb Reynolds once and for all. What he doesn’t foresee is how his
past and present will collide with enough force to shake his foundation.
Hearts need to be mended.
Time is running out.
Obstacles are placed.
Do Alex and Sofie have what it
takes to overcome?
Excerpt
“Whoa there, cowboy.” A small
feminine hand met my chest. “What the hell has you in such a tizzy?”
I looked down into the eyes of
Shannon, the detective I’d had the privilege of working with, as well as
sharing a few heated nights of passion. I attempted a smile, capturing her hand
and bringing it to my lips. “Nothing my favorite redhead can’t fix.”
“Cool your heels, bubba. I’m here
on business.” She winked, letting me know the possibilities that waited once
she was through with whatever case had brought her here.
“Anything I can help with?”
“Yes, actually,” she said,
backing away and beginning to walk towards the entrance.
I followed suit, matching my long
strides to her shorter ones. While holding the door open for her, I examined
her tiny yet firm ass in action. Casually, I adjusted my cock before we walked
down the hallway. “So…how can I help?”
“This is about Ari.” Her voice
now held a professional tone.
Fuck me. “What about her?”
She stopped dead in her tracks
and turned to face me. “I’ve found her birth parents.”
I seethed, “Who the hell are
they, Shannon? I swear when I get my hands on those two.”
She swallowed hard and glanced
away. Before I could demand more information, Sofie joined us.
“I’m sorry to interrupt,” Sofie
said as she reached us.
Shannon glanced sideways and
answered, “You’re fine. How may I help you?”
I was not so kind. Barely
leashing in my wrath, I bit out, “What the fuck do you want, Sofie?”
She squared her shoulders and
stood firm in the face of my disdain. “You don’t ever speak to me like that again,
Alex.”
Shannon coughed to hide her
giggle. Damn women. Sofie held out her hand towards Shannon and introduced,
“I’m Sofie Fields. Pleased to make your acquaintance.”
“I’m Detective Shannon McLeary,
and the pleasure is all mine. I believe I own at least three of your remarkable
creations.”
Sofie blushed. “Wow. I just never
know who I’ll run into that knows my designs.”
“You have amazing talent and a
keen eye for color and texture,” Shannon gushed.
“Thank you,” Sofie humbly
replied.
I stood there glowering at the
woman who had ripped my heart out all those years ago and never gave it back. I
thought some piece of it was still there to share with Shannon. Now, I wasn’t
so sure about that.
