Synopsis: Raelyn Jennings has survived the unthinkable. She’s been given a second chance to live, to breathe, to feel. Her ability to overcome such a traumatic hurdle has created armor around her heart. But beyond her shield is fear, a consuming deep one, of the unknown. Raelyn vows to herself that she’ll solely focus on the one constant in her life, her career as the CEO for a prestigious accounting firm.
Damien Heathman’s unrelenting determination has made him a powerful, respected man. He’s sexy and confident and utterly breathtaking. His dominance and strength is evident in every purposeful stride, every meaningful look, and every soft caress.
Raelyn has worked with Damien’s company, Heathman Enterprises, for many years, but they’ve never crossed paths—until now.
Damien’s presence fills a room. He steals Raelyn’s breath and sparks her broken heart back to life. Once Damien sets eyes on Raelyn, there is no turning back. He wants her, and he’ll stop at nothing to have her. Not even the dark secrets hidden behind his tattoos will stand in his way.
The chemistry is undeniable. The passion is palpable.
Can Damien convince Raelyn that he is worth the risk? Or will Raelyn allow her past to control her future, feeling the chance of another heartache is too great to bear?

Excerpt
As
the hours fly by, I drive closer to my doom. I begin to notice a weight in my
body as if I’m being pulled towards my fate. My throat starts to constrict and
it’s becoming hard to breath, I’m struggling for each ragged breath. Sweat
beings to appear on my forehead and I have to pull over and loosen my tie. What
the hell is wrong with me? My palms are sweating, and my heart races with loud,
strong beats. The road in front of me becomes blurry, making it hard to keep my
eyes open. What’s…going on with me?
Picking
up my cell, I fumble with the phone until I find Doc’s number and click on it.
She answers on the second ring. Forcing the words out of me…“Doc, something’s
wrong with me. I…didn’t know who else to call. Please help me.”
“Where
are you?”
Breathless,
I answer, “I’m on the side of the road about four hours into my trip.” It’s
becoming very difficult to answer her. I feel like I’m going to pass out.
“What
trip? Where are you going?”
I
grip my chest, trying to stop the pain. “You told me to look her up.”
“What
are you talking about?”
Slightly
frustrated at this point I force the words out. “My mother’s friend.”
“Oh. I didn’t mean you had to visit her just yet. Can you try to explain what’s going on?”
“Oh. I didn’t mean you had to visit her just yet. Can you try to explain what’s going on?”
I
describe my symptoms, and she explains that it’s just a panic attack. That
everything is going to be fine. The trip has brought back so many memories. She
tells me to close my eyes and find my happy place. So I do as instructed, and I
find Anaya’s beautiful face. “Now take some long, slow breaths and tell me what
you see.”
“Anaya
and her golden brown eyes. Her beautiful chocolate brown hair. That sassy smirk
on her face as she gazes helplessly in my eyes.”
“Perfect.
What are you feeling now?”
“Peace.”
“Good,
now how about your other symptoms?”
“I’m
starting to cool down and my breathing is returning to normal. My chest is
loosening up too.”
“That’s
great. You had your first panic attack. It’s probably brought on by the fact
that you’re pushing yourself too fast. You needed time to warm up to the idea
of going back home. But now that you’ve set yourself on this path, you need to
face it. How long until you’re home?”
I shudder at the word home. “I
should be there in about six hours or so.”
ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
I am a small town girl, I currently reside in the same city that
I was born and raised in. I love watching teen drama shows, reading, writing,
and listening to music.
I have a loving family my mother who has taught me about love
and lasting relationships. A father who pushes me to excel and succeed at
anything I desire. My younger sister and
I have become very close over the years and she is very supportive of
everything I do.
I have been married for ten years to my best friend. I love my
husband more than anything. He is so kind, loving and supportive. It’s an on
going joke, with his friends, “My wife writes porn.”
We have a thirteen year old daughter who is so smart and
talented. I can’t believe how fast they grow up. She is turning into quite the young
lady. She aspires to be so many things
and I encourage them all. She loves to write songs, and has even tried her hand
at writing a book. Maybe one day she will follow my example.
Being that I am from a small town, I have made some long lasting
relationships. I have two best friends that I have known for most of my life.
We have continued to stick together over the years and we are always there for
one another. I couldn’t imagine my life without them.
Animal lover I’m not, but I have a headstrong dog named dozer, that
is the absolute best-behaved dog I have ever seen, and a cat that drive me
insane, but I love her nonetheless.
I have always aspired to be a neonatal nurse and I continue to
work towards that goal. Maybe one day it will come true. However, writing has
become my new favorite love.
I never would have dreamed that I would become a writer, but
some really great people convinced me otherwise. Eventually I decided to give it a try and
what do you know? I just finished writing my fourth book and I couldn’t be
happier. I will continue to write in my spare time with hopes of it becoming a
full time career at some point in my life. And I look forward to many more
years of bring you the best books that I can.
