Every Move She Makes

Blurb:
No matter where she goes, he knows her
every move…
Long
ago, Rachel Carpenter was a glamorous soap star. She gave it all up to move to
Napa Valley with her daughters to open a bookstore near her family vineyard.
Her life is safe and dependable, until she encounters Kane Lafferty at a
wilderness camp in the rugged High Sierra. A burned-out police detective
struggling with his own demons, Kane is instantly attracted to Rachel. And like
Rachel, he isn’t sure if he’s ready to open his heart. But everything is about
to change…
Someone
is watching from the darkness. A fanatic obsessed with Rachel for years has
decided to claim what he believes is his. It will be up to Kane to not only
protect his new love and her family, but to uncover the identity of the stalker
before it’s too late for all of them…
Excerpt:
Rachel was a decent swimmer,
but she was no match for Kane. He passed her and was waiting when she reached
the far shore.
“It looks like I won.” He
pushed a strand of wet hair out of her eyes. “What’s my prize?”
“Your choice.”
Slowly he pulled her against
him. The wet cotton bra wasn’t much of a barrier as she hooked her arms around
his neck. Skin slid against skin before a searing kiss stole her breath.
“Want a rematch?” His breath
came in a gasp.
“You’re on.”
Rachel flipped backward into
the water and swam hard enough to reach the shore seconds before he did, then
climbed out onto the warm granite.
He flopped down beside her,
water running off him in streams. “You beat me. What’s your prize?”
Lying on her stomach, she
glanced up and blinked fat droplets off her lashes. “I get to dry off on your
shirt.”
He grabbed his shirt, but
instead of handing it to her, ran the soft cotton over her back and down her
legs. “How’s that?”
“Nice.” She closed her eyes,
afraid to see the expression in his. Afraid the temptation to let him do more
would destroy her control.
“Turn over.” The words were a
whisper in her ear. When she rolled onto her back, he dried her arms and bare
stomach. “Look at me, Rachel.”
Slowly, she lifted her lids.
“We can leave now, or we can
stay. Your call.”
