Flynn's Kiss - New Release
Severely scarred during a disastrous mission, ex special forces Flynn Swann is home after three years of avoidance. By his own admission, he’s no good with women and the last thing he expects or wants is the attention of a curvy little brunette, who’s just passing through.
With apparently no fear or revulsion of his scarred face, the boisterous woman bounds into his life and destroys all hope of a quiet visit. It is obvious to literally everyone that she wants him—all of him.
Worse still, despite her atrocious taste in fashion and Stetsons, she appears to have won the hearts of the entire town.
Scientist Liberty Sophia Glennon is on a mission to find a man before she has to return to the loneliness of the New Zealand outback where she has already spent eighteen lonely months doing research.
A ticking hormone bomb, Liberty feels time is running away with her. Outwardly she is a bouncing ball of over-confidence, but inside she is still a frightened little girl with horrific memories of her childhood and a desperate need to be liked.
Completely unfazed by his external scars, her seduction of Flynn is not so difficult, but follow-through proves painful as Liberty realises Flynn’s wounds run further than just skin deep.
With apparently nothing in common but their passionate attraction, how will these two damaged souls deal with each other’s fear of rejection?
Excerpt
“Flynn.”
She spoke softly, but in the quiet of the early evening, her
voice carried clearly, emphasizing the slight wobble to betray her nervousness.
He turned his head and stared at her, his eyes direct and
piercing, his chin lowered in what she recognized as a defensive gesture,
designed to deter her advance. The dappled light from the fading sun gave his
beautiful face an ethereal and almost sinister look, emphasized by his complete
stillness, his silent watchfulness.
She took a hesitant step forward and stopped at the
slightest movement of his chin raising. She wished she hadn’t come, wanted to
run, but she’d trapped herself, and in all honesty, she hadn’t quite expected
this response. They were both adults, for heaven’s sake, and one of them should
take the initiative and make their meeting less uncomfortable.
She removed the Stetson from her head, no longer in peril of
burning her skin as the sun lowered. His gaze flicked down to the pretty yellow
hat as a few more of its feathers detached themselves and fluttered to the
ground. His wicked eyebrow flicked up briefly, and then his expression returned
to deadpan.
“I owe you an apology.”
Silence filled the gap until she huffed out a breath and
tried again.
“You’ve been conspicuous by your absence lately. People are
missing you and I feel…responsible.” Embarrassment coursed through her. She had
no idea she would have to try so hard to reach him. Convinced she simply needed
to see him again for everything to be all right, it came as a debasing shock to
realize he had indeed been avoiding her.
She tried to keep her hands still, but her fingers seemed to
have a mind of their own, twisting around the brim of her new hat. She saw his
gaze flick down to stare at them and forced herself to drop them back down to
her sides, holding her hat in one hand, aware of the shedding of yet more
bright feathers. His attention centered on her again as she gave a small cough.
“The other night, when we…” She blew out a disgusted breath
at her painful reticence. She was supposed to be the mature one here. “…when we
had sex. I thought it was mutual. I know I took the lead and did all the
seducing, but maybe I didn’t take into consideration you weren’t interested—you
seemed interested at the time, you…” She swallowed a heavy lump in her throat.
He’d been as hard as rock, but maybe he’d fantasized about someone else.
