Experience has taught single mother Rachel Madison
that the only person she can truly rely on is herself. But what she wants most
in the world—to give her son the life she never had growing up—means she must
put her faith in a man who once walked out on her.
Retired from the service, U.S. Army Sergeant First
Class Colton Taylor makes a detour to Phoenix to bury his brother. Nobody is
more surprised than he is to see Rachel waiting for him at the airport. He
regrets the morning he walked away from her, but coming from an abusive home
taught Colt to put limits on all his relationships—especially this one.
So when he discovers he has a son, Colt knows this is
a chance to prove to himself he’s not a chip off the old block. Turning his
life around doesn’t come naturally, though. Then a drug dealer crops up from
his brother’s dark past, threatening their son and forcing Colt and Rachel to
face their demons … and each other.
Sensuality Level: Sensual
EXCERPT:
“Maybe I do it to protect you. Did you ever think of that? I don’t do
relationships, Rach. You’re better off finding someone who can give you what
you need, because I’m not that man.”
That damn stony wall made her want to hit him just to see him react.
She clenched her fists. “Coward.”
Colt’s head jerked in her direction. His gaze seared into her as he
studied her.
“I don’t need your protection.” She glared at him. “I’m perfectly
capable of looking out for myself.”
He turned his body fully toward her and copied her stance, folding his
arms across his chest. “All right. You really want to know what I’m thinking?
Telling me you want me because our son needs his father wasn’t what I hoped
you’d say. I wanted you to tell me you wanted me.
But, I know damn well I have no right to want that, for exactly that reason … I
walked out. And, for the record, I didn’t tell you all that stuff that night to
scare you. I was being honest.”
His body heat radiated against her side as he closed the distance between
them, stepping into her personal space then taking another step, until his
scent of soap and man washed over her and his firm body brushed hers. His voice
lowered to a husky murmur, his breath whispering across her cheek.
“More than I should have been. Those eyes of yours pull things out of
my mouth I shouldn’t say. You’re my ultimate weakness, sweetheart.”
