In the Line of Duty, Book 6
From the moment the Nelson brothers took a lonely young girl from the wrong side of the tracks under their wing, Rachel Andrews loved them both with all her heart. But it was James who won her hand.
Now widowed, she’s trying to pick up the pieces for
her daughter’s sake as well as her own, but once again loneliness is her
closest friend—until James’s brother comes back to town. The man she secretly
wishes had asked her first.
Army ammunitions expert Kyle Nelson would rather face
live fire than face the raw reminder that the woman he loved chose his brother
over him, but he’s tired of running. And ready to step up to be the man
everyone needs him to be—especially the young niece he’s never met.
As time runs short before Kyle ships out again, the
desire Kyle and Rachel have suppressed breaks free in a fiery rush. Tempting
her to reveal a secret that could give him a reason to stay—or burn their love
to ash.
Warning: Contains a hot military man who will steal
your panties as well as your heart.

Excerpt
He hissed air as she uncapped
the lid and poured the lotion into her hand. Her glance moved over his chest
again and as she reached out to place her palm on his body, he grabbed her
wrist to stop her. His rough calluses scraped erotically against her skin as he
held her still. She lifted her head, and the air crackled with sexual tension
when his eyes met hers.
“Don’t,” he bit out, his
nostrils flaring like he was in agony.
She blinked up at him. “What’s
wrong?”
He shook his head, a nervous
energy about him as the blue in his eyes deepened. “I can’t have you touching
me like this again, Rach.”
“Why not?”
“Because the last time you put
lotion on me…well…I took…”
“We took.” She planted
her pelvis next to his, and the telltale hardness between his legs told her he
wanted this—her—as much as she did. “We fell into that bed together.”
Why couldn’t he see that they were both responsible for what happened? That he
wasn’t taking advantage of some vulnerable girl, or betraying anyone.
His jaw clenched. “We’re not
going to fall in to it again. We can’t.”
“Okay.” She captured his hand
and gave a little tug.
“What are you doing?” he
asked. She pulled him into her room. His entire body stiffened at the sound of
her lock clicking into place. His glance went from her, to her unmade bed, back
to her again. He opened his mouth to speak but no words came.
Taking the lead she said, “How
about we fall in to mine.” She lifted her chin, parted her lips and swiped her
tongue over them in invitation.
Eyes, dark and needy, pulled
away from hers and for a moment she thought she lost him. But then his
breathing changed, became rough as he zeroed in on her mouth.
“Rach… Fuck… I…” He brushed
his thumb over her cheek, his touch so caring and gentle it took her breath
away.
“You what?” she asked.
“I…I need…I fucking need,
okay.”
“Then take.”
