Blurb:
What does it take to
secure a heart? Meet the men who know the answer—Smith Security Services.
Excerpt:
Wire covered lights that hung from a
concrete ceiling were the only part of the tunnels that registered in Gracie’s
fog-filled brain. She tried to count them as they flew past, in attempt to
cling to reality, but no matter how hard she blinked her eyes they refused to
focus. The man who carried her in his arms was wearing black SWAT gear, and not
an inch of his skin was showing. Finally, he stopped. She tried even harder to
bring the world into focus but one section of her brain recognized that
something horrible lurked on the other side of her shock. She continued to shy
away from acknowledging it.
“Sorry about this, but I need to check
you for injuries.”
His voice sounded soothing as he laid
her gently on the floor and started stripping her out of her clothes. She
barely registered the cold air as it hit her skin. She recognized she should be
feeling embarrassed, or even outraged, but not a single feeling could penetrate
her mind. He reached up, pulling his ski mask over his head. Then the sound of
ripping Velcro rent the air as he tugged off a bulletproof vest. His eyes
appeared wonderfully sweet, and she focused on their amber color, as if she
were dangling from a lifeline.
“I’m Jacob Cook. Do you know your
name?”
“It’s Gracie St. John,” she forced out
the whispered words, and he nodded.
“Gracie, you didn’t take any direct
hits but you’ve been grazed twice. It doesn’t appear to need stitches—it’s more
of a severe burn mark. I realize you’re in shock and probably won’t be able to
stand, but I need to get this blood off of you, okay?”
“Okay.”
He left the room and she started to scream for
him not to leave her, but he was back as quickly as he left. He lifted her nude
body into his arms and carried her into the bathroom where he had turned on the
shower earlier. Then, in a move she wasn’t expecting, he stepped into the
shower with her in his arms—fully dressed in combat boots and all. Buy links:
