Forbidden Bonds
An Immortal Curse Novel #2
By Lexi C. Foss
Genre: Dark Paranormal Romance
Release Date: August 1, 2017
Exile
never felt so good. . .
Tom’s a
trained sniper, not a babysitter. He kills rogue immortals for a living, but
after releasing classified information to a friend, he’s banished to a remote
location with the CRF’s most prized asset.
Can two
tortured souls find solace and love in one another?
Secrets
unfold as Tom forms a forbidden relationship with his new charge. The immortal
woman evokes memories and feelings long forgotten, and forces him to question
everything he’s ever known.
Sacrifices
must be made.
A rash
decision sends them both running for their lives as enemies vie for their
heads.
Some
bonds are meant to be broken. . .
“Easy
way, or hard way? Ladies choice.”
Amelia’s pulse leapt. She had to clear her throat twice to
speak. “Excuse me?” He couldn’t mean. . .
“Hard
way it is.” Tom stepped forward, and caught her hip before she could scramble
to the side.
“What-?”
The words froze in her throat when his opposite hand snaked around her back to
the gun tucked into her shorts.
He
tsked. “Someone was in my room. Find anything else interesting while snooping?”
She
bristled at that. “I was not snooping.” Liar.
“No?”
He removed the weapon, and threw it on the bed. Instead of taking a step back,
he placed his palm against her lower back, and pulled her closer. Her hands
flattened against his chest to maintain a slight gap between them. It did
nothing to ease the flutter in her lower belly, or dispel the heat climbing up
her neck.
“So the
gun from my nightstand magically appeared in your shorts? That’s a neat trick,
sweetheart.”
“Gentleman,” Tom
greeted after assembling the communication unit. “Blake sends his regards. Who
wants to dance next?” Knowing his words would reveal his location, he moved
deeper into the parking lot on the other side, away from the sidewalk and
further from Amelia. He really hoped she’d been smart enough to hide in the
car, and not try to find him.
“Hello, son,”
his father replied. “You mind telling me what the fuck you’re doing?”
John Fitzgerald
using curse words brought a smile to Tom’s face. He’d thoroughly pissed off the
CRF’s CEO enough that he had lost his cool over the communication channel.
Nice. How far could he push him?
“Right now?” Tom
asked, voice low. “I’m taking out your unit. Or did you mean in general?” A
flash of metal grabbed his attention. Sentinel Charlie was in a crouch position
thirty feet to his left, and facing the wrong direction.
Tom shook his
head. How many times had he told the man to watch his six? Idiot. He took a
detour around a few cars to sneak up on his former teammate and slammed his
pistol into the back of the kid’s skull.
“Well, that
wasn’t even any fun,” Tom said with a dramatic sigh. “You really ought to send
Charlie back to training, John. He still hasn’t mastered surveillance.”
