Blurb
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in the sure
and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life.
Four caskets. Two bodies.
Jessica and Jude Day witness their funeral and that of their
parents a few yards away from mourning family and friends. Stripped of the only
life they’ve ever known, the Days say goodbye to San Francisco forever.
Four months later, two thirty-year-old misfits with elite
self-defense skills and penchants for alcohol, sex, and trouble arrive like an
earthquake to Peaceful Woods, a retirement community in Omaha, Nebraska, that
thrives on rules and gossip. Welcome home, Jackson and Jillian Knight.
Jackson celebrates his new beginning by embracing his job
and wiping his cavalier past clean with a temporary oath of celibacy. But
Jillian’s past is branded into her soul—the deaths, the insanity, Dr. Luke
Jones, and the need to make her lovers bleed. Her chance for redemption comes
in the form of a next door neighbor, one Senior Master Sergeant Monaghan. He’s
sexy, dangerously alluring, and riddled with emotional issues from years of
service. He’s also … So. Damn. Grumpy.
Their mission is simple: Let go, start over, don't kill
anyone, and pray that nobody wakes the dead.
Excerpt
“Have you ever killed anyone?”
Jessica’s smile slipped. “If I told you
then I’d have to kill you.”
“So you’re a secret agent?”
She flipped onto her stomach, resting her
chin on her crossed arms. “If I said yes then it would no longer be a secret.
Come on, Jones, you’re losing your focus. Don’t let me feel smarter than you or
our time together will be over and I rather like hanging out here.”
“Luke,” he corrected.
“Lucas.”
“Luke.”
“Lukey.”
“LUKE!”
“Lulu.”
“I mean it!” Luke showed another rare
moment of teetering emotion.
Jessica chuckled. “What are the chances of
us having sex? I’ve never done it missionary, but you could possibly counsel me
through it.”
He refocused on his crossword puzzle,
filling in a word in pen. “Less than zero percent.”
“So, not in my favor, eh?
“Why not missionary?”
Jessica smiled in delight that Luke
continued with the topic of conversation. “I’m sure you already know, but if
you want me to say I need control, then sure, I need control. But the truth is
I’d control any sex position you want to put me in.” Jessica winked as Luke
gave her a fleeting glance. “I just don’t want you thinking you have control,
even if I know it’s not the case. Pisses me off to see the smirk on a guy’s
face when he thinks he has control.”
“Tell me why you need control.” Luke
continued with his crossword.
“In bed?”
“Yes.”
“Someone has to have it.”
“Why?”
“Because someone initiates it.”
“So if I initiate sex with you will I have
control?”
“There’s only one way to find out.”
Jessica wiggled her eyebrows at an ill-humored Luke.
