The Breakaway:
Tragedy
sent Sherman Elias McHuay west twelve years ago. But his troubled
past barrels in like a runaway train or—more appropriately—smacks
him over the head in the form of a violet-eyed miss without a lick of
common sense to her name. If one could actually determine her name.
Amaris
Johnston’s carefully laid plans to head west as a mail order bride
ratchet up when an announcement for her impending nuptials to the son
of a prominent US Senator are set to go public. Not that she’d
agreed to marry in the first place. A forced engagement and her
family—a conniving slew of ambitious and power-hungry tyrants—send
her running for the Colorado hills.
Can
a slow talking sheriff and a headstrong girl bent on recklessness
outwit her powerful family?
Excerpt:
“Who are you, Mari Jones?”
She didn’t disappoint, leaning into him and
whispering, “Aw, Sheriff, you don’t really
want to know.” He couldn’t tell if she was teasing him as an
interminable silence blanketed them before she seemed to come to her
senses. She squared her shoulders and stepped back, clinging to his
damn cat. She turned her back to him, clearing her throat. “The
truth is, Sheriff. I’m a mail order bride. Already bought and paid
for,” she said primly.
The words didn’t penetrate until she was halfway down
the path. An unexplained fury roared through him and he was on her,
grasping her upper arms spinning her around. “The hell you are,”
he bit out before he crashed his mouth over hers with an unleashed
violence he hadn’t experienced since Johnston held his hand over
fire coercing his promise to leave town.
The desire to invade this beauty’s mouth threatened
his ability in remaining upright. Her shock softened into the
sweetest response. It was life-changing, life-saving.
How was it possible?
Comprehension ricocheted seeped through a veil of fog. A
single searing bullet that imploded his chest. Innocent.
She was an innocent and he was in the worst danger of violating her.
He tore his mouth away with a sharpness that left him gasping for
breath, his lungs burning with need. His scarred hand throbbed.
The only sound in the still night was the harsh intake
of their breathing. Relief flooded him. He was not the only one
affected. Her large purple eyes glowed like ice in the slivered
moonlight.
