EXCERPT
“Wow. You know, you have a real talent with women.”
Rafa gave her a sideways glance but didn’t answer. She saw the corners of his mouth fight an upward pull.

“You don’t have to be jealous Genie,” came his smooth reply.

EXCERPT
"If they saw us go over the edge, they may see an opportunity to finish us off. Or they may think we're good as dead and keep going."
She closed her eyes, putting a hand to her head. "Did you get a good look at them? Oh!" she exclaimed, her eyes shot open after landing flush against his chest.
Doug held Sara close to steady her while heat shot through his entire body. Her face softened as her eyes remained glued to his. The earlier flush in her cheeks returned and a soft pink traveled to her hairline and down her neck. She was warm too.
Doug answered her question with a slow shake of his head. He broke eye contact and focused on her lips. She had a small, yet curvy mouth -- a breath away. The overwhelming urge to kiss her was back and in an overturned vehicle on the side of a wooded hill, with windows shot out by a couple of thugs, they both stood alive and reasonably well and he wanted nothing more than to feel her lips -- if only once.
He forced his eyes up. Hers were filled with fear -- true fear, and it stunned him. What was she afraid of? Other than his sister, Sara was the most confident woman he'd ever known. Nothing seemed to shake her and her walls were formidable, impenetrable. But here she was, wrapped in his arms, pink from a lovely blush, her eyes wide with the knowledge of his thoughts.
Doug weighed his options. If he kissed her -- well, they'd both enjoy it. If he didn't kiss her, he might never have another chance and then he'd regret the missed opportunity for the rest of his life. Doug swallowed. Sara neither tried to escape nor voiced her dissent. Did she want the kiss? She needed to be kissed. He could wipe away all of that pent-up frustration and anger--
"I hear sirens," she whispered, still making no move to retreat from his embrace.
Doug forced his ears to concentrate on any sound other than the beat of his own heart. Sirens. It was now or never. He licked his lips.

While insecurities and bitterness threaten a budding relationship between Maggie and Brandon, an elusive killer terrorizes a small Virginia county with a game he plans on winning.
EXCERPT
Maggie's eyes slowly traveled the width of the elevator door until they found Brandon's reflection in the mirrored panels lining the inside of the car. Broad shoulders rippled down to muscular biceps that contracted with the force he used to grip the rail behind him.
She needed to assert herself now.
"I'm going to go over some of the documentation the district attorney's office faxed us to see if I might be able to find the missing link enabling Burrows to escape custody."
Brandon's eyes narrowed. Obviously business wasn't what he wanted to hear, and how easily he could read her discomfort troubled her. He had an uncanny knack for interpreting her body language. What did that mean? Whatever it meant, she didn't have the time to analyze it now. She straightened her shoulders. "Knowing who helped him escape can perhaps shed some light on his next move."
Brandon's level stare remained.
Ok, he's not buying it. Regardless, I refuse to fall...
"Do you forgive me?"
"What?" The question about forgiveness startled her. He had apologized but she wasn't interested in discussing it. All she wanted to do was wash the smoke out of her hair and crash. It was going on midnight... or past it; she had lost track of time.
In one stride he was in front of her, one arm around her waist, the other guiding her chin up. His lips were warm and smooth as they glided over hers. He pulled back and disappointment filled Maggie at the loss of his heat. She stared into the dark thunderstorm whirling in his eyes.
"Do you forgive me?" His hoarse voice rumbled through to her inner core.
The elevator bell chimed. Startled, Maggie nearly jumped at the ring. She turned to the console. Her numbered floor illuminated.
"Saved by the bell." He released her.
Maggie couldn't resist looking at him. His eyes were veiled but the confident smirk returned. As the elevator doors opened, Maggie wondered who would be the more difficult challenge to overcome: Burrows or Brandon?
