*Excerpt*
“The last
twenty-four hours have been mind-blowing. I never guessed a beautiful woman
sitting at my bar with an envelope could change my life like you have. But you
did,” Liam said.
“Like a hot
bed of trouble,” Charla replied, taking another drink. The wine was going down
easy, and she could feel herself beginning to lose the wall she was trying to
keep up all day. She slid her empty plate into the middle of the table and
placed her napkin on it. “That’s what I am. Trouble.”
“I like
trouble if you haven’t noticed. I’ve got a case full of guns in my bedroom if
you need more proof.”
Charla’s head
fogged and her cheeks flushed at the mention of his bedroom. All she could
think about was his soft lips and his hand on her ass. She wanted him to do
much more than that. She wanted him to explore every inch of her
body.
Damn
it.
They’d only
known each other for twenty-four hours. She was the last person to be hopping
into bed with a new man. It had taken her six months to sleep with Rex.
One-night stands weren’t in the Charla Taylor vocabulary, especially ones with
Irish gunslingers. She could hear Jill’s voice in her head,
it’s not a one-night stand if you do it again,
Charla.
He took a
drink of wine and then swirled his glass around before setting it down. “Mom
was right. This was worth waiting for.” He cleared his throat and continued,
“So, tell me about your family. We’ve spent all day looking for and talking
about mine. What’s your family like?”
“Well,” she
stuttered. She hated talking about her family, if she could call it that. She
never really considered Dotti to be a mom. She was her biological mother, but
Charla couldn’t find it in her heart to think of her as mom.
Real moms didn’t abandon their kids. Real moms didn’t put their kids
into a situation like Charla had to endure with her stepfather. “I wish I would
have been adopted like you.”
“That bad?” He
stopped chewing and looked up.
“That bad.
Alcoholic mother. Never knew my father. Abusive step-father died when I was
fifteen, thank God for that small victory.” She put her hand on her wine glass
but didn’t pick it up. She felt a strange sudden urge to divulge her secret to
Liam. She hadn’t felt this sudden need to purge in years. Every time she did,
no matter if there was a foot of snow on the ground, she’d go hiking at Lake
Woods and scream into the empty forest “I LET HIM DIE.” The scream would
disappear into the woods, just like her urge to release her
secret.
