Twist

Gone.

I lost my mind that day.

I arrived home, to my wife’s sweet color, stripped. Her body motionless, slain in a puddle of blood, her delicate skin, riddled with multiple stab wounds. The brutality of the rape was horrendous. My precious little girl lain in the middle of the floor, pillow securely duct taped on her face. Her tiny body, left unmoving. I’ve never screamed so savagely, wishing I was dead before in my life.

Hope.

I’ve long given up on any light in my life, jaded. I wasn’t expecting to be blinded with friction, by a fucking ray of sunshine.

Sadie

Confused

I had no idea what to do with my life or my baby’s. I trusted the wrong man, who turned out to be a ghost, disappearing, leaving me scattered. I head to my brothers club, in hopes of leaning on the only shoulder I’ve ever known. 

Strength

What I find instead, is a hunter. A fiercely loyal, broken man, just waiting for his next kill.

Synopsis:

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown comes a gripping story of family ties and forbidden attraction.

A Texas Ranger, relegated to deskwork due to past recklessness, petitions to regain custody of his five-year-old daughter, and his case is assigned to a family court judge who is as attractive as she is ambitious. When a masked gunman barges in during the custody hearing with his sights on the judge, the Ranger reacts instinctually and goes after him. But authorities apprehend the wrong man, and the real gunman remains unknown, at large, and a threat. Will this take-charge lawman jeopardize his chances of custody by going after the would-be assassin? And will this unlikely pair be able to deny the forbidden attraction building between them?

Excerpt

The back of the house was in complete darkness.  Holly climbed over the fence and then took a moment to catch her breath, although her heart continued to thud so hard it was painful.  Cautiously she approached the back door.  Through it, she could hear his voice.  At her soft knock, he stopped speaking immediately. 

    A few seconds later, he opened the door.  If he was shocked to see her, he didn’t show it.  His silhouette looked large and indomitable against the weak light from the ice dispenser on the refrigerator door.  So far as she could tell, it was the only light on inside the house.    

    He brought his cell phone up to his ear.  “I’ll call you back.”  He clicked off and lowered his hand to his side.  Otherwise he didn’t move.  His eyes were too hooded for her to gauge his reaction to seeing her on his doorstep.

    She said, “You’re probably surprised to see me here.”

    “You could say.  How’d you get here?”

    “I ran.”

    “Ran?”

    “Jogged.  It’s only a few miles.”

    ...he reached for her hand and pulled her across the threshold.  “Come in.”

***

    Crawford could see well enough in the dim kitchen to take a glass from the cabinet, fill it with tap water, and hand it to Holly.  “I’d offer you something else, but I don’t want to turn on the lights and give the shutterbug an advantage.”

    She had run from her house to his wearing a pair of old jeans with holes in the knees.  A white t-shirt clung to her damp skin and outlined her bra.  Her nipples made twin impressions that had captured and held his attention.

    “Crawford, did you hear what I said?”. . .

    He studied her shadowed face, that mouth, those eyes, the locks of hair that had shaken loose from her messy just-got-laid ponytail, and thought, Damn.  “We’re in a dark, empty house.  I’ve got a king size bed and time to kill.”

    “Till what?”

    “Till the Houston office calls me back.  Or Neal shows up to arrest me.  Let’s go in the bedroom and take off all our clothes.”

    “Crawford, this is serious.”

    “I know,” he sighed.  “I’m trying to keep myself from strangling Neal for stupidity.  I want to take a sledgehammer to Chuck Otterman for lying.   You can save two lives by going to bed with me.”
