Synopsis
Sometimes two broken pieces make a whole.
He’s the one she’s always loved.
She’s the one he could never have.
A forbidden night of passion resulted in years of heartbreak when he walked away. Now she’s in danger and needs his help.
Trust doesn’t come easy for FBI Agent Nick Stone, especially when it comes to love, but he’ll risk it all for Katelyn Slade.
Including his heart.
Bullets fly, betrayals are exposed, and the flames from their past ignite.
His protection might be what saves her but in the end she will be his salvation.
This is Book two in the Acts Of Honor series, the spin-off series to Men Of Honor. It’s Nick and Katelyn’s story and is told in dual POV, has an HEA with no cliffhanger and it can be read as a standalone. However, I highly recommend that you read the Men Of Honor series prior, as characters play recurring roles in both series.

Excerpt
I've come to realize
if there is one part of our body we have no control over its the
heart. It has a mind of its own and it doesn't give a damn about
consequences.
Nick Nick Nick….loved him in Beautifully Insightful. I have been waiting for
his story...hoping and praying for his story. What I love was how KC weaved
everything together with all the characters. It was breathtaking! I seriously
do not think that she can write anything bad. I probably would pay to read what
she has to say about housecleaners or toilet paper. I was at a loss for words
when I finished this last night. I had to think about what I wanted to write
about, to express my feelings to give the book the praise it deserves….and I
have come to the conclusion I won't be able to do that, so I am just going to
go with it….lol
Nick and Katelyn have known each other since they were children. Nick was Katelyn's
brother Kolan's best friend and these two always protected Katelyn whether it
was with their words or fists. As Katelyn has gotten older, Nick started
feeling differently towards Katelyn., she wasn't just like a little sister
anymore, she was becoming more. But he would never cross that line, she needed
someone who would cherish her, be there for her, give her the love she
deserved. He couldn't do that….Nick trusted no one and would never love anyone
again. They always leave, and he wasn't about to subject himself to that again,
no matter how much he wanted to be with Katelyn. After one night ofpassion,
Nick walks away without saying goodbye. Katelyn's heartbroken and devastated,,
I seriously, was like you bastard!
Years go by, with no contact, nothing. Both are in thriving in their new lives,
but still not completely happy and whole. But that soon will change….a phone
call changes the course of their life. Katelyn turns to the one
person she hasn't seen or heard from in seven years. The one person who
can help her, but will he?
”My life would be so much easier if you
loved me,” I whisper before I can think better of it.
He chuckles, thinking I'm joking. I'm not. But I let him think it. I know if I
tell him the truth he will run out of here in the blink of an
eye.
“Trust me, you life wouldn't be better.”
I tilt my head curiously, “why do you say that?”
“I'm not capable of it. I'm too broken to love anyone.”
I stare at his profile, my already damaged heart shattering. This isn't the
first time I've wondered what the hell happened to him, what made him like
this.
”I think maybe we're all a little broken, Nick. I know I am.”
“All the more reason it wouldn't work.”
“I don't know about that,” I whisper. “Sometimes, two broken pieces make a
whole.”
So Nick Stone...oh my is he yummy. His dirty mouth sets me on fire….god I loved
him. To understand why Nick is the way he is you must go back to his younger
life. The torment he has suffered from being left by the one woman who was
suppose to love him unconditionally, has changed his life. He trusts no one. He
doesn't let anyone know about his past or get too close, he's very guarded.
Your heart will break for him.
He makes me feel beautiful, he makes me
feel more than I am. He makes me feel worthy. You are more.
Katelyn my girl! She was feisty and lovable. She had a shitty life, but there
were always two constants in her life. Kolan her brother and Nick the boy she
loved. She never felt like she matter, she was treated like trash because of who
her family was. However, Nick always told her she was more, she was beautiful,
she mattered. But did she matter to Nick?
The sexual tension is freaking phenomenal. It pours off the pages and let me
tell you I was feeling the electricity between them. The spark was slowing
getting bigger and bigger until it blasts off and holy shit...It was DIRTY, it
was HOT and it was INTENSE!! Seriously, tingles..all..over..my..body!
But can they find peace with one another.? Can they get past the past and move
on to a future? Will Katelyn be Nick's salvation? Will Katelyn open her
heart to have it shredded again?
As the story continues, you are taking on a fast roller coaster ride. It has
twists and turns when you least expect it. You are trying to keep up, but its
that intense. Not just the chemistry and passion, but the secrets and
lies….shit is going down! Totally KC!
KC's words hold a lot of beauty. She helps soothe your soul, gives
you a smile, and make you shed some tears. All her characters are likable,
enjoyable and real. The hurdles that each person and couple face are problems
that anyone could. I know with this book, I was laughing and loving all the
sexy moments. Then BOOM she has to make me break out the ugly tears. Damn you!
I absolutely adore this woman. She makes you feel every emotion possible. She
sucks you into her stories and makes you feel!!! She is always a 1-click and
re-read for me, I would love to give this more than 5 Stars!
KC keeps bringing it and outdoing herself every book. Never never disappoints!
5 Dirty Plus Stars!
Review by Heather Driscoll
Excerpt
He begins moving inside of me with slow, exquisite strokes, his eyes never leaving mine. He looks at me in a way I’ve longed to have someone look at me my whole life. Like I matter, like I’m important…like I am more. When it’s time for him to go back this is what I’ll remember. This is what I’ll keep close to me on the nights I ache for him, to remember that someone looked at me like this once. Even if I don’t get it for a lifetime, it’s better than not getting it at all.
Just like the man himself.
Reaching up, I cup his strong, stubbly jaw. He encircles my wrist and kisses the inside of it, right over my tattoo.
No words needed.
As more tears begin to fall he leans down and catches them with his lips. “Feel me, Kate. Feel nothing but me.”
“I do. You’re all I feel.”
“Just us,” he whispers.
“Just us.”
