BLURB:
Trapped by a future she refuses to
face…
Accused of cyber espionage by the
United States government, ethical hacker Ivy Macpherson is now on the FBI’s
most wanted list. Out of options, she runs, desperate for time to prove her
innocence. When fate takes an unexpected turn, bringing her face-to-face with
Tydrin, she must decide—trust a man more dangerous than the hunters on her
trail to keep her safe. Or risk capture by a covert agency well known for
ruthlessness.
Condemned by a past he doesn’t want
to remember…
Cursed with a terrible temper,
Scottish dragon-warrior Tydrin struggles to atone for a mistake that took
innocent lives. Unable to forgive himself, he returns to the scene of his crime
in hopes of finding absolution, but discovers a woman in need of his help
instead. Intervening in the nick of time, he whisks Ivy to safety, only to
realize the daughter of the family he wronged is the one destined to steal his
heart.
Enjoy this Excerpt:
The
climb over the high stone wall almost killed her. The half mile trek across the
cemetery in the dark hadn’t helped much either. Not that Ivy Macpherson could
afford to complain. Not after escaping with little more than the clothes on her
back. She was alive and mobile, and no matter how screwed up the situation, she
refused to take it for granted. Gratitude surfaced along with her relief. On
her knees in the dirt, she bowed her head. A cold breeze flicked over the nape
of her neck. She shivered and, closing her eyes, offered up a quick prayer. An
inadequate way to say thank you maybe, but…
By
God, she’d made it.
All
right, so it hadn’t been smooth sailing. She’d been lucky. So damn fortunate to
have gotten out of Washington D.C. in one piece. Quick wits had helped. A
friend with questionable business contacts had done the rest, providing fake
ID, some cash, and a one way trip to the UK. A rough ride by any standards. To
be expected given the circumstances. The crew aboard the freightliner Mary
Frances would never be called sweethearts. Or embody kindness.
She
should know. After a week of hiding out on the open seas—of scrubbing pots,
mopping floors, and dodging the cop-a-feel Captain—Ivy now understood the
meaning of hard work. Manuel labor at its finest. Sexual harassment at its
worst. Not a bit like her regular job. But then, the terrified and on the run
couldn’t be choosy.
Neither
could a hacker accused of espionage by the US government.
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Growing up as the only girl
on all-male hockey team, Coreene Callahan knows a thing or two about tough guys
and loves to write characters inspired by them. Call it kismet. Call it payback
after years of locker room talk and ice rink antics, but whatever you call it,
the action better be heart stopping, the magic electric, and the story wicked,
good fun.
After graduating with honors
in psychology and working as an interior designer, she finally gave in and
returned to her first love: writing. Her debut novel, Fury of Fire, was a
finalist in the New Jersey Romance Writers Golden Leaf Contest in two
categories: Best First Book and Best Paranormal. She combines her love of
romance, adventure and writing with her passion for history in her novels. She
lives in Canada with her family, a fun-loving golden retriever, and her wild
imaginary world.
