Sarah
and her husband of what he calls “many long, long years” live on the mid-Atlantic
coast with their six young children, all of whom are perfectly adorable when
they’re asleep. She never dreamed of becoming an author, but as a homeschooling
mom she often jokes she writes fiction because if she wants anyone to listen to
her, she has to make them up. (As it turns out, her characters aren’t much
better than the kids.) When not buried under piles of laundry, she may be found
adrift in the Atlantic (preferably on a boat) or in search of that ever-elusive
perfect writing spot where not even the kids can find her. To learn more about her work in contemporary,
historical, and supernatural romance and romantic suspense, please stalk
accordingly.
Sarah is now doing a Book Blast Tour to promote her latest novel, in cooperation with Goddess Fish Promotions. For this occasion, she is giving away a $50 gift certificate from either Amazon or Barnes&Noble to a randomly drawn commenter during the tour. To make a chance, please leave a comment by using this Rafflecopter link:
What is the book about?
Blurb
Her past is back to haunt her—and this time, it’s got a gun.
When Gage Lawton finds his brother shot to death on his back
porch, every shred of evidence points to one person: Gage’s ex-lover, Riley Beckett.
The only gun in town that fires a bullet of that caliber belongs to her.
Certain the shooting is payback for his part in the loss of her
parents, he abandons his promise to stay out of her life and confronts her, his
rage backed up with a revolver. Yet when she steps through the door, all
thoughts of revenge burn to ashes.
A year after Riley unwillingly walked away from Gage, she enters
her home to find him sitting in the dark, gun pointed at her head. One look
into those achingly familiar blue eyes reminds her how wrong she was to let him
go. But now there’s more standing between them than their heated past.
A twist of fate—and a hail of sniper bullets—puts them in the
cross hairs of a killer, leaving Riley with just two slim options: trust her
greatest betrayer, or face a murderer alone.
This book has been previously published.
Warning: Prepare to get caught in a crossfire of profanity,
danger, and desire. Intense violence may trigger the desire to wear body
armor…and take it off. Very, very slowly.
Excerpt
Without taking his attention from
her, Gage climbed out of the chair, cursing when he realized his foot was
asleep. He tucked the .38 in the waistband of his pants and limped through the
pins-and-needles sensation wreaking havoc in his left boot.
Hell of a time to feel ticklish, he
thought, staring at Riley’s wild mane of dark waves sprawled over the
floorboards. Not the stark contrast he’d seen over a crisp white pillowcase.
His mind played flashbacks. Memories
of dragging his lips over her heaving, sweat-slicked skin threatened his
plans…and his resolve.
The flood of emotions shouldn’t have
surprised him. He was as stoic as a block of granite when it came to
everything—and everyone—except Riley Beckett. He never could put the feeling
into words, but just being around her made him feel free, like standing in the
middle of the prairie with the sun, and the breeze, and the vastness…and the
promise of something he didn’t dare believe.
And he didn’t. Gage knew good things
didn’t happen to him. But she’d captured a piece of his soul with her laughing
eyes and damning innocence.
The purest woman he’d ever known and
he’d destroyed her.
Twice.
