Beautician Chanel Leroc can wield a pair of scissors like
nobody’s business. After she witnesses a murder and lands on a serial killer’s
hit list, she has to figure out how to protect herself—and fast. The killer
tracks her down, but her sexy new neighbor, Dr. Ryan Naylor, drives the brute
off.
The police dump the pair in a witness protection program,
which doesn’t last long. Either the killer has a connection to the police, or
he’s far more intelligent than they realize. All Chanel wants to do is get back
to her safe life and get to know her neighbor better. Instead, she and Ryan hit
the road and try to survive on their own.
How will they stay alive and keep their blooming romance intact with the killer hot on their trail?
Excerpt:
She blew a lock of her hair away
from her face. “If your mom shows up, I’m screwed. I have no makeup, and the
clothes I wore yesterday need a date with the washing machine. First
impressions are everything with a man’s mother. Do you know you’re the first
guy to see me barefaced since Jonas?”
Who was Jonas? He clamped his
jaw on the question. “Mom will understand. She likes stubborn women who refuse
to take my bull. Besides, you look great without all that junk on your face.”
He stiffened as she lifted her manicured eyebrow. “But I’m not opposed to it
either. Do what makes you feel comfortable.”
She chuckled softly. “Good
save.”
He blew out a pent-up sigh.
Whew! No doghouse for him. “Who’s Jonas?” Okay, so he asked. At least he didn’t
growl it.
“My ex-boyfriend.” She traced
the line of Ryan’s whiskered jaw. “We were living together and contemplating
marriage when he got a great job offer out-of-state. I didn’t want to move, so
he left and took our Corgi with him. I miss Rocky like crazy. Hell, I miss the
dog more than I do Jonas.” She fluffed Ryan’s shirt. “I loved him, but it
wasn’t that awe-inspiring, ballad-type romance I read about in my books. Anyway,
I couldn’t afford the rent on our house, so I moved. I made the right decision
to not leave Denver, but I wouldn’t be in this mess if I had.”
They also wouldn’t have met. His
gut fisted. “How long were you with him?”
“About three years.”
He tunneled his hand through his
mussed hair. “You’re just coming out of a long-term relationship. We should
slow down.”
“How long have you been
divorced?”
“Two years, but my marriage was
over long before that.”
“I’m over Jonas, so I don’t need
to take baby steps.” She rested her hands on his chest.
“Okay. If you’re sure?”
She claimed his lips, the
passion in her kiss silencing his doubts.
