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
“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.”
Touching romance about two people afraid to trust in their feelings for each other. Colt and Rachel have great chemistry and he is great with with their son.
J.M. Stewart is a coffee and chocolate addict who lives in
