HAPPILY NEVER AFTER
by Bess George
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Dallas ADA Kelsey Brackston survives a brutal attack but struggles with
PTSD. When someone begins to stalk her, she relocates hoping for a new start. A
person can’t be hurt if they can’t be found. Her logic seems flawed when
someone tries to kill her—again.
This
could be Bode Taggert’s last chance at being a cop after crawling out of a
bottle. Focused on the job, he avoids personal commitments. Something within
him resonates with the lady ADA. Maybe it’s her desire to move forward after a
life altering event. Or not being able to move forward no matter how hard you
try.
Despite
his good intentions, Bode falls for the sexy lawyer. While he and the police
concentrate on arresting her stalker, Kelsey vanishes. With his career—and
heart—on the line, Bode will stop at nothing to find her. But will their
newfound faith in one another be enough to save the day? Or will their inner
demons destroy them both?
EXCERPT:
Fight or flight kicked in and her rational brain
shut down. She backed away from the stranger, clasping her hands together to
control their violent trembling. Like a trapped animal, her eyes were frantic
as they searched for escape routes, her heartbeat roaring in her ears. The wall
stopped her backward progress with a jolt just as recognition hit her.
The cop.
She was safe. Two dark brown eyes pinned her in
place as they stared at one another.
A soothing voice at her side broke the connection.
David placed his arm around her shoulders and gave a gentle squeeze. “This is
Bode Taggert, honey. He’s one of the detectives in the Redding police
department. Bode, this is ADA Kelsey Brackston.”
