Going to the beach after
being stuck indoors healing from injuries.

Their love.

BLURB:
An Internal Affairs Investigator was
murdered and his brother, Donovan Goldwyn, was framed. Now Donovan is desperate
to prove his innocence. And the one person who can do that is the woman who
saved him from a deadly hurricane—Beth Kennedy. From the moment their fates
intertwined, passion consumed him. He wants her in his arms. More, he wants her
by his side in his darkest moments.
Beth Kennedy may not know everything
about Donovan, but she can’t deny what she feels for him. It’s her love for him
that pushes her to do whatever she has to do to help him get justice, including
putting herself in a criminal’s crosshairs.
When a tip reveals the killer's location,
they travel to California, but then an earthquake of catastrophic proportions
separates them. As aftershocks roll the land, Beth and Donovan have to endure
dangerous conditions while trying to find their way back to one another. Will
they reunite and find the killer, or will they lose everything?
EXCERPT:
The moment she realized
Buck was shooting under the cars to hit her, the tire she hid behind blew. She
squeezed her eyes shut as she tried to make herself smaller by pressing her
body into the SUV. The Morse code of bullets hitting metal started up again. She
could've sworn she felt the SUV shaking with the continuous beat of bullets
slamming into it, except the shaking was below her feet. It started gentle but
as soon as she noticed, it became violent.
Earthquake!
She fell backward and
struggled to get back up. Her body bounced up and down and rolled from side to
side simultaneously, which told her the quake's epicenter was close. The origin
could've been beneath the hotel for all she knew. A light came crashing down
from the ceiling and slammed into the concrete floor with such power it
exploded into a trillion stars. Glass shot out in all directions like the Big
Bang. Beth screamed and covered her face with her hands as tiny pieces of glass
bit the skin on her arms.
