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.
Six 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
“Come
inside, AJ.” Jillian shrugged off her leather jacket as she walked in the
house.
“I
don’t want to see your—” The door shut before AJ could finish his protest.
Jillian
snagged an apple from the counter and washed it. The grin on her face grew as
she waited for the backdoor to open. She knew AJ was standing in her garage,
grumpy as hell, contemplating his move. There was little doubt in her mind that
he would eventually come inside. She knew underneath that seemingly
impenetrable layer of stubbornness was an undeniable curiosity that made him
just as human as everyone else.
“You
realize half the damn neighborhood thinks you’re married, and now you’ve got
them thinking there’s something going on between us—” AJ let his cheery self
into the house.
“Is
there not something going on between us?”
He
helped himself to a seat at the table. Jillian plopped down in the chair next
to him, propping her boots up on his legs. He frowned at her boots.
“What
do you need, AJ?” She threw his words back at him. “Do you want to go
downstairs and duke it out? Do you want to fuck me doggie style until I howl at
the moon? Do you need me to suck you off to help relieve a bit of that pent-up
anger you carry around all day?”
His
jaw twitched as he stared at her with such intensity it nearly cracked her own
façade. “Yes.” Just one word.
Jillian
paused mid-chew, waiting for more, but he offered nothing. She continued eating
her apple.
“What
did you see that messed you up so bad?”
“Who
said I’m messed-up?”
She
chuckled. “Fair enough. Why don’t you ask me out on a proper date: flowers,
cloth napkins, fine wine, a chaste kiss goodnight?”
AJ
raised a suspicious brow. “Chaste kiss? Has a guy ever given you a chaste kiss
and lived to tell about it?”
“So
you won’t ask me out because you’re afraid of me?”
“I
fear no one.”
Jillian’s
eyes widened. “Wow. Lucky you.”
AJ shoved her boots off his legs then dusted
off the nonexistent dirt. “Who do you fear?”
Jillian
finished her apple, core included, then tugged off her boots before drawing her
knees to her chest. “Where to begin …”
