Synopsis


“Bethany is the strongest woman I know.”

“Did it make you love her more?”

“No.”

Parker “Thorn” Thornton can never discuss exactly how he spends his days. That’s been the story of his life for as long as he can remember. That is until yesterday when crap hit the fan, and his personal and professional lives clashed in a way he never anticipated.

Now, the self-righteous, arrogant, sexy former SEAL has no choice but to spill his guts to a roomful of strangers.

To provoke his peace of mind, the people demanding answers seem to want to focus their questions on the one subject guaranteed to send his blood boiling—the woman he loves, Bethany McCallister.

As day turns to night and the grilling continues, the intrusiveness of the questions asked knows no bounds. No topic is left off the table, forcing Thorn to concede his relationship with Bethany has hit its fair share of troubled water.

Even though Thorn’s determined to protect Bethany, will he be caught between shielding Bethany and admitting the truth?

That he’d kill to protect her.

Again.

A passionate, age-gap, bodyguard/military, workplace romance, romantic suspense book.

About the Author

Tracey Jerald knew she was meant to be a writer when she would re-write the ending of books in her head on her bike when she was a young girl growing up in southern Connecticut. It wasn’t long before she was typing alternate endings and extended epilogues “just for fun”.

After college in Florida, where she obtained a degree in Criminal Justice swearing she saw things she’ll never quite believe and never quite forget, Tracey traded the world of law and order for IT.

Her work for a world-wide internet startup transferred her to Northern Virginia where she met her husband in what many call their own happily ever after. They have one son.

When she’s not busy with her family or writing, Tracey can be found in her home in north Florida drinking coffee, reading, training for a runDisney event, or feeding her addiction to HGTV.
