The Guardian
Restitution begins with the truth
Lucas Carmichael and Scott Anderson had it all, money,
fame, and fortune. But one night’s stupid mistake takes everything they thought
they cherished and dumps it upside down.
A car accident ends Lucas’ life and leaves Scott injured
and bitter.
As the local ME, Tracy York, investigates the case,
discrepancies begin to point to more than a simple drunk driving
incident.
When threats are made to Tracy’s life can Scott and his
guardian angel, Lucas, protect her, or will she become another casualty?
Excerpt:
“Look, Trace…”
“Don’t you ‘look, Trace’, me.” She sighed, and moved to his side. Her
fingers sent tingles upward from where they rested on his arm. “You may be used
to playing the hero for damsels in distress, but that’s not me, okay?” Her eyes
were emerald green, mesmerizing in their brilliance. “I’m used to taking care
of myself. I don’t need coddling.”
No, maybe she didn’t. But that didn’t mean she couldn’t use someone to
take the burden away. He wanted to be that someone.
He raised a hand and brushed a velvety soft cheek, reveling in her
body’s response. Eyelids fluttered and lips parted as though waiting for a
kiss. Maybe she didn’t want the fairy tale, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t be
her prince.
He leaned down and accepted her invitation.
Heaven.
Her taste reminded him of blue skies and endless meadows. Of songbirds
and bubbling brooks. She was his fire when he got cold and food when he was
hungry. She made him weak, yet superhero strong, all with a look or a touch.
And he couldn’t get enough.
“Take me home with you,” he whispered.
Tracy gazed at him, her eyes conflicted. “We should…”
“What? Slow down? Deny what’s happening between us?” He tunneled his
hand into her hair and cupped the side of her head, relieved when she leaned
into the touch. “I can’t. If there’s anything I’ve learned in the past couple
of weeks, it’s that there are no guarantees.”
He leaned forward until their foreheads touched. Until every breath was
shared. Until there was no room for misunderstandings.
“I want you.”
