Luke Fletcher asks himself one simple question. Is she worth dying for?
His answer is yes.
When Hannah Walker rolls into her new town on fumes, she doesn’t expect her past to catch up to her so quickly. But the moment her card is declined for a lousy cup of coffee, she realizes nowhere is safe, and her life on the run has just gotten more complex.
Luke Fletcher has made it his mission in life to protect. When he meets Hannah Walker, she makes it clear that his services aren’t needed and neither is he, but there’s something in her eyes that tells another story. Once he begins investigating the woman with many names, he realizes one thing is clear. Whoever, she’s running from won’t stop until she’s dead.
Determined to gain Hannah’s trust and break down her walls, Luke begins to share his own history, but where that leads could cost them more than their hearts as the sins of others threatens to destroy them both.
I looked into his eyes as his words
etched through the many layers of guilt and confusion that had become my
comfort. My gaze fell to his mouth as he spoke and my mind ran wild with
possibilities.
“You aren’t responsible for what’s
happened to the people back at home or out here. You’re doing the best you can
and that’s all you can ask of yourself,” he murmured.
I placed my hand on his shoulder as I
leaned my body against his. “How do you know the right thing to say?” I asked,
almost breathless.
“Years of therapy.” He smiled, pressing
his forehead against mine, looking down at me.
The rawness of the emotions that
swirled through my body was nothing compared to the feelings of desire I had
for this man. The heat from his body rolled through mine, and I wanted nothing
more than to be kissed. He ran his fingers along my spine as I felt my pulse
quicken, his firmness pressing against me.
“The diners might be able to see us,” I
whispered.
“Then let’s give them a show.”
