Sometimes
finding love at the wrong time and in the wrong place can be exactly
what is needed.
Sammy
has dedicated her life to helping others. She doesn’t have an enemy
in the world, so why is she suddenly on the Dark Walkers most-wanted
list?
Jonty
is a soldier from the future and is sent back to the twenty-first
century to eliminate the Dark Walkers. He hates this time period and
wants nothing more than to get in, perform his duties, avoid all
distractions, and get out. But that changes when he meets Sammy.
There is something about her, beyond her beauty and courage, which he
can’t resist.
When
Sammy is saved by Jonty, it’s insta-boom-lust. There is nothing
complicated about how this strong, sexy man makes her feel. And she
knows Jonty feels the same way, so why does he resist her?
With
humanity under threat, and both their lives in danger, there are
greater things at stake than a little romance. Or is there? Destiny
may have other plans. And their deep sexual attraction may just be
the key to saving them all.
Content
Warning: contains steamy sex, mature language, and some violence.

Excerpt
Sammy
couldn't take it anymore. Being in such close proximity to Jonty and
not being able to lean over and take that sumptuous bottom lip of his
between hers and suck his tongue until he moaned into her mouth was
torture. She released a loud breath of air, stood, and straightened
her skirt and t-shirt. She had to get away from him or she'd burst.
Sammy
sat on the bed and reached for the remote. Jonty slid his chair back
from under him and followed. Her heart thumped, harder, faster, but
she remained focused on the television. He sat beside her. She could
feel his stare. Eventually, she turned to face him and looked into
those incredible blue eyes.
He
took a deep breath and scrubbed his hands over his face. "So
much is at stake, Sammy. I can't pursue—" He pointed from his
chest to hers. "—this, us."
Air
escaped from her throat, leaving her breathless. "Why? Why can't
you?"
His
features twisted, almost with pain, and his mouth drooped into a deep
frown. She pressed her hand to her heart, an attempt to stop the
aching she felt for his struggle. She could see his turmoil. She
resented it, because in her own mind nothing at all was complicated
about how she felt about this man. Regardless of what she had been
through, of anything else that could possibly exist in their lives,
what she felt was simple. It was only his continual rejection that
was stopping them from happening.
She
stroked the length of his cheek with her finger. His eyelids drifted
shut. When he opened them again, she slowly leant closer and pressed
her lips to his. All his angst, all his desire, was communicated in a
single sigh of acceptance. He opened her lips with his, found her
tongue. She loved his warmth, his taste, the rough prickle of his
chin. She had ached for this ever since that first kiss. Her entire
body buzzed with a delicious energy, a want, a need. His strong hands
gripped her hips, then slid up her spine to her neck where he pulled
gently on the hair at her nape.
She
looked into his eyes. "How can what is happening between us be
wrong? It feels so pure."
"It's
complicated."
"Does
it have to be complicated?"
He
shrugged. "I can't see any other way."
Sammy
ran her thumb along his full bottom lip. His eyes languidly closed.
She couldn't resist leaning in, taking that very lip between her own,
and kissing him again, exactly as she imagined.
"Tasting
you is easy enough," she said.
He
smiled. "Easy, and it feels so incredibly good."
Sammy
stood before him and lowered onto his lap. She circled her arms
loosely around his neck and kissed him again. "How about we do
whatever feels incredibly good then?"
He
rested his forehead against hers. His lips lightly grazed her as he
spoke. "But once I start with you, I—I won't be able to stop.
I will cross the line."
She
ran her tongue over her bottom lip and whispered, "I won't want
you to stop."
