Claire creates an intense mood of mystery in this unusual romance. It's heart melting and pounding at the same time.~Wendy C.-Amazon Review
A total page turner I had to make myself turn out the light and go to bed at 4:00 a.m. It was painful, I didn't want to sleep, I wanted more, more, more!!!~Crimson M. Kildare
Excerpt
His eyes darted to the envelope on the table. He took a drink of coffee, swallowing too hard. When he turned back to me, his eyes were haunted. He reached out, grasped the envelope, and pulled out another picture. As he handed it to me, his words registered. “You’re supposed to keep yourself safe.”
The photo I held was taken in the restaurant. I was standing behind the front counter, the picture taken from across the room. A man sat in front ofme, only the back of his head visible in the picture. He was covered in soot and ashes. Pieces of his clothing was burned away and blackened.
My skin was blistered and the remnants of my hair were singed. My uniform had burned to my body, sticking to me as I stood there, coffee pot in hand. The ceiling of the restaurant was behind me, or at least part of it. Grey, cloudy skies formed a backdrop where some of the ceiling and the wall to the kitchen used to be. The pieces of the restaurant in the picture were burnt; smoke still rising from the embers surrounding me. The picture was dated two days from today. I dropped the picture like the paper itself was on fire. I didn’t want to touch it. In the photo, I stood there with a coffee pot in my hand, while everything around me and my clothes were in utter destruction. Walker snatched the picture from the table, dropping it back into the envelope.“
I’m sorry,” he said, taking my hand in his again. “Short of kidnapping you that day, I didn’t know any other way to tell you about this.”
