Love. Desire. A psycho bent on revenge. But can Charlie Reynolds
recognize the most dangerous of the three?
Since being out on her own at eighteen, Charlotte “Charlie”
Reynolds is a street-smart “good” girl who hides her desire for love and security
behind her feisty and independent personality. She just never expected a more
noxious hero than wealthy, self-consumed Evan Gardner, the CEO and founder of
Valley Tech., a successful software company in Los Angeles. From the moment
Evan rescues her from an apparent random attack, their attraction for each
other bubbles just below the surface of all-out passion.
Excerpt:
A hand grabbed her from behind and spun her around. Charlie’s free arm swung out quicker than the scream that followed it. The heel of her sandal barely missed the side of Evan’s head.
“Get
away from me, Evan! Just get away!” Charlie brought her knee up, but he
sidestepped.
“Woman.
Would you stop trying to maim me?”
“I’m
leaving. Now!”
“Would
you calm down and come over here?” he demanded. She resisted, but he kept a
firm grip on her arm and wrestled the remote out of her clenched fist. After
dodging her flailing purse, he clicked the passenger door open and nudged her
in. He ran around the front of the vehicle before she could escape, swung the
door open, and slid in next to her.
Charlie
didn’t look at him. She simply folded her arms and stared straight ahead. They
sat in angry silence for a few minutes. She wiped the back of her hand under
her runny nose. He snapped open the glove box, handed her a tissue, and leaned
back in the seat.
“What
did you hear back there?” he asked finally.
“Everything.”
Evan
ran his hand through his hair. “Did Amanda know you were spying?”
“Even
if she did, you’ve got control over what you say. Over what you do.”
“I
know. I know. I was angry. She was pushing me.”
“Angry?
So that’s your excuse? That’s why you kissed her?” She balled her fist up and
he flinched. Good. Let him be afraid. Let
him be very afraid.
