BLURB:
When Officer Blake Herro agreed to go
undercover in the Mob, he thought he understood the risks. But he's made
mistakes and now an innocent woman has become their target. He's determined to
protect her at all costs.
The Mob's death threat turns Dr. Dani
Hart's life upside down, but there is one danger she doesn’t anticipate. As
she's dodging bullets, she's falling in love with Blake. With danger all around
them, will she and Blake survive and have a happy ending, or will the Mob make
good on their threat?
EXCERPT:
She panted with fear. What if they see the chest? What if we get caught? What if my breath stinks and I’m breathing right into Officer Hottie’s face? She shut her mouth and let oxygen flow through her nose.
EXCERPT:
She panted with fear. What if they see the chest? What if we get caught? What if my breath stinks and I’m breathing right into Officer Hottie’s face? She shut her mouth and let oxygen flow through her nose.
Her
eyesight slowly adjusted to the darkness and she could see Officer Herro’s
silhouette. His head was turned and he was listening to the thuds of heavy
boots getting louder; the intruders were coming their way.
Then
the thunder of footsteps sounded right next to them. “There’s no one here,
Red,” someone announced.
“Look
for documents,” a man ordered, who Dani could only assume was Red. “I want the
name of the person I’m going to kill.”
A
moment later, there was a reply. “All the mail is addressed to a Dr. Hart.”
Hearing
her name said aloud by one of the men who had ransacked her place made her want
to gasp. Her mouth fell open and her breath was reversing into her lungs, but
before she could make a sound, Officer Herro lowered his lips to hers,
silencing her. Stunned, she could only lie beneath him with her eyes wide and
her body tense. She couldn’t believe he was kissing her. She wanted to push him
back, but knew if she did he might hit the inside of the chest, giving away
their hiding place. That was when she realized he was kissing her so she
wouldn’t gasp.
She
let her body relax. After her initial shock faded, she was able to feel his
lips. They were comforting and caused a reaction deep inside her. She couldn’t
stop her lips from reacting to his. It was an innocent connection, a soft touch
of lips. Until his hand slid from her shoulder to her neck and the kiss
deepened into something else.

Congratulations, Chrys!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea where I would go. Guess I'd just be dead.
Yeah, I think I'd be pretty useless if I was being chased by the mob. ha. But you never know until you're there, I guess!
DeleteHAHA! Alex, I probably would be dead, too. My character is a lot tougher than I am! ;)
DeleteI don't think I'd do well in that situation. Guess I'd better stay out of trouble.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Chrys!
I wouldn't do well either. Not even after writing about! :P
DeleteThank you so much!!
Hi Trisha! Hi Chrys! Well done with the suspense Chrys. I think I'd just faint!!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't blame you for fainting, Denise. I probably would, too.
DeleteHi Trisha and Chrys .. fun snippet - with lots more rather tense moments to follow .. I certainly wouldn't cope .. good luck with the book .. cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the snippet, Hilary. :) Thank you so much!!!
DeleteLooking forward to reading this!
ReplyDeleteYay! I hope you like it, Kyra, and are thoroughly entertained. :D
DeleteGreat excerpt! I'd hide out in some other country, for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christine! I think I would do the same. ;)
DeleteThank you so much for having me on your blog today, Trisha! I appreciate your help more than I can say. :) I am having fun reading everyone's comments about what they would do in a situation like in my story.
ReplyDeleteNo worries, Chrys! I'm happy to have hosted you! :D
DeleteA good question...frightening too. Hard to imagine, until you are slap-bang in the middle of it!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great cover.
Thanks, Michelle! I suppose no one knows just what they would do unless they were in that kind of situation.
DeleteBest of luck Chrys!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elizabeth!
DeleteThe excerpt sounds intriguing. Best wishes, Chrys.
ReplyDeleteWhere would I go if the mob were after me? I'd go over and hang around in my local Walmart. They'd never think to look for me there. And it's a 24 hour Walmart so I could just hang around as long as I wanted to.

Tossing It Out
Thank you, Arlee! And what's funny is that Dani says almost the exact same thing in 30 Seconds about grocery stories. It's actually a funny scene. ;)
