WhiteOut
Welcome to the Scintillating Sunday Blog Hop where multiple romance authors share 8 paragraphs of one of their novels that intrigue...Here's a look at the romantic suspense novel, WhiteOut.
Excerpt...
When she stepped back and tilted
her chin up, he knew he'd struck a chord. "You suck at lying and, I have
to admit, that's an intriguing quality in a woman and not one I've experienced
in a long time."
"I didn't ask for your life
story."
"But I'm giving it to you
because I have nothing to hide."
"And I do so you're trying to
goad me into revealing my secrets?" She blinked at him a second before
bursting out in laughter. "Oh, honey, I'm so far out of you league that
we're in different orbits." She closed the gap between them, pressed the
tip of the machete against his shoulder, stood on her tiptoes, looked him in
the eye, and said, "You have no idea who you're dealing with here. I'm
more than you could handle. And those men? They're killers. And if you quote me
on that to the sheriff or anyone else, I'll deny I said it."
Damn if her words didn't turn him
on.
He grabbed her wrists and squeezed
until she dropped the weapon. "Never underestimate me, Brandi."
"And vice versa." She wiggled
free of his hold, but not before a ghost of a smile had crept onto her face
again. "I guess I overreacted. I sometimes let emotion sweep me
away."
He enjoyed seeing her swept away by
emotion. This version of her beat the hell out of the reclusive woman who hid
behind her dogs and sunglasses every day. He smiled at the realization that
maybe he liked women who danced on the edge of crazy. It made life much more
interesting.
From the back cover...
She's been erased.
As a protected witness, Brandi
Simms has given up everything that made her unique to start over in Steamboat
Springs, Colorado. Blending into the background isn't easy, but it's vital for
survival. When her handsome yet incorrigible neighbor—former Olympic skier
turned cowboy—decides her aloof attitude is a challenge rather than a
deterrent, she knows the only right thing to do is resist.
The secrets she hides are deadly.
Ryan Landry isn't accustomed to rejection.
Three-time Olympic Gold Medalist, he's the local hero who came home to run a
ranch and be near his family. The mysterious neighbor who seems content to hang
out with dogs rather than humans haunts his fantasies and ignites that
competitive drive that led him to the world stage.
He's not one to give up.
When her dangerous past catches up
to Brandi, Ryan is determined to break through her secrets to find the truth no
matter what the cost. Trapped in a whiteout blizzard with unseen threats
lurking in the snow, will they get a chance to create a new beginning or will
Brandi's secrets be the death of them?
