I am thankful for my family. My husband is my biggest cheerleader
and support. My children are the little people I love the most. I draw my
strength from them. They are funny and fun! We wanted to have a big family but
sadly, life doesn’t always work out that way. Life sometimes is hard, the trick
is to be thankful for it all—the hard times as well as the good. When I was
really sick, my family struggled. I am so grateful I am feeling better. I
always love the phrases like: Show gratitude and return gratitude because when
we are thankful, we do things to show it. I show gratitude and return gratitude
by not taking my health for granted. I volunteer and bless other people’s lives
as much as possible.
I am also so thankful to share what I’m thankful for! Thank you!
Blurb
Twenty-three year-old investigative journalist, Andy
Miller is armed with her many disguises and creativity to take down the
riff-raff of Saint Louis. When her stepbrother is murdered by the mob, Andy
soon discovers she’s out of her depth.
Enter Hugh Donaldson who has reasons of his own for
discovering the murderer. He’ll use everything in his power to achieve that,
including lying to Andy about his past. Dangerous as he is attractive, his
martial arts skills and his quirky ways raise Andy’s
suspicions.
Although Andy balks at his lies, Hugh’s charms,
twenty-inch biceps, and electrifying blue eyes are difficult to resist.
Striking out on their own, Hugh and Andy try to outwit each other as they
traverse North America tracking down people connected to the case.
As clues disappear and the body count climbs, Andy
and Hugh must trust each other and use their combined skills to bring the
murderer to justice.
He didn’t want to have to do this, but it might be the only way
she’d listen to him. He seized her gun hand, twisted it around, wresting away
the gun, dropping it to the mat. He kicked it away and pinned her in a joint
lock against the door with his body.
She kicked, she elbow-jabbed, but he was relentless. Sheer
muscle and weight gave him the advantage, all combined against her.
“I’m not saying you can’t do it, but I’m saying leave it to the
professionals or join with us. Don’t try to do this alone.
Brad would want you to be safe.”
He had to invoke his name. He had to evoke whatever emotional
sway Brad had over her. Her gaze scorched him with burning intensity, her chest
heaving into his with such passion.
Conner was a fool to have let such a creature go.
“Let go of me.” She scrambled around powerless
against his strength.
“Are you still resisting?” He bent his head to whisper in her
ear, his face lost its kindness. “If you work alone, then I will use you as
bait. You will go bumbling around in the dark and I will capitalize on your
bumbling and stumbling. I will get what I want.
With or without you.”
Andy finally relaxed her body. He hated taking the spirit out of
her. But it was the only way to keep her from getting killed.
“Okay, I concede,” she said.
He smiled inwardly, the rush of victory, conquering a
well-matched foe.
“I knew I could persuade you.”
Her smile warmed him, he released his body from hers. In a
flash, her leg flew up and hit him square in the nads. She opened the door
behind her, and slipped out by saying, “Brad asked me to do this. So I will do
this.”
Through the purple haze of pain, he called out, “Where will you
go Andy Baker?” The front door opened. “They’re hunting you,” he called.
The door slammed shut again.
He smiled despite the throbbing.
He liked her.
