But if the PI ever learns Hawes’s darkest secret, it’s not heartbreak he’ll have to worry about—but a bullet to the brain instead.

It was wrong, but maybe that’s why it felt so right.
We met when Cole tackled the thief who stole my purse. It was raining. I was cold and hurt. Cole rested a hand on my forearm to reassure me. His touch was warm, his voice soft and confident. Neither of us could look away from one another. And then he smiled. For the first time since my cheating ex left me with a mountain of debt, I felt alive and beautiful, again.
Cole’s thick thighs and ripped abs are the source of endless fantasies, but he’s also a gentleman who sheltered me from harm. Not to mention, the thrill of being noticed by a much younger man.

My name is Liz Snow, from Atlanta, Georgia, and this is my story. One hot summer I fell hopelessly in love with successful attorney, Peter William Hendrix III, from Chattanooga, Tennessee. We bonded because of Shelley and Keats. Pete introduced me to the works of modern English poet, Jack O. Savage, It was like The Poet was drawing us together through his blogs and poems, like he had a message for my life and my love with Pete Hendrix. I lived it in my heart and soul. It all went tragically wrong once I learned Pete’s secret. As September ends I jet to London, England with an unstable mind and a broken heart. Pete Hendrix betrayed me big time. There was no time for revenge. My life was a kaleidoscope of stabbing shards of pain. Jack O.Savage, The Poet became my friend. Jack the man became my lover. Magic. Sometimes when you believe it’s the end, it’s only the beginning.
I can still remember the exact moment it happened, around town children had begun their first week of school, a sure sign of the end of summer. A crisp breeze held a change, with the hope of fall around the corner. It was a day like so many days, uneventful and I could almost say boring. Now, since that moment in time not so long ago, my life has forever changed. It is strange really, how a random touch can turn your head, causing you to look at a person you may have known for days or even years, casting them now in a strange intimate light of awareness. After that touch your body betrays you, warming, tingling sometimes producing symptoms that you as an adult may not have felt in months, years or what seems like forever. This is all new to you, now sensations are enhanced, colors appear brighter, the breeze caresses your skin and you change before your very eyes, from the ordinary person you always felt yourself to be, morphing into the person seen, through the eyes of others. This happened to me. This is my story.
