Wells Shanahan

I was a simple rookie cop in Seattle when I was both shattered and transformed by a horrific massacre. I was fighting for justice for a young girl who’s family was murdered before her eyes.

Years later, my world is turned upside down when a series of similar murders begin to haunt the Seattle area again.

Malia Strickland’s return in the midst of these crimes propels us right back into one another’s lives. She is no longer a little girl, but every bit a woman. I was her hero back then. Now I have the chance to be so much more.

My life never made sense but has purpose and meaning with Malia in it.

Malia Strickland deserves justice and the future that had been stolen from her so long ago. I’ve made it my mission to give her both, even if it means sacrificing myself.

Malia Strickland

My life was altered, in a span of minutes when my family was brutally taken from me. I only escaped with my life, because my hero pulled me from the horrific scene.

I spent eleven years away from the one place I loved so much. Now, it’s finally time for me to come back and face the demons that have haunted me. Going home not only resurfaces memories I’d rather forget, but it seems to trigger a whole new string of murders just like the ones that took my family from me.

More than ever, I need Wells Shanahan to save me from the past and what’s to come.

Wells has always been more than a hero to me. He’s my savior, my future, my everything. Can I convince him, that our forbidden love is worth fighting for?

Excerpt

Wells Shanahan

My eyes widen, and in it, I see Malia in a different light. She’s right. She’s grown up. She may be a young adult, but she’s an adult just the same. My head lowers to hers, and she raises a bit as if she’s standing on her tiptoes. My lips are mere centimeters from her mouth. She emits a moan, a small little whimper that makes my cock stand at attention. “Malia?” I ask. I don’t know what I’m asking—maybe for permission, maybe for forgiveness—but I’m not taking advantage of her because she wants me. I want her. And sure as fuck, I’m not giving this moment a chance to pass us by.

“Wells, please.” Her plea is heartfelt. I’m responsive as my lips touch hers, and the flavor of this woman explodes for me to taste. It’s mint and sugar cookies combined. She gives me a little nip on my lips, then explores my mouth as our tongues meet. I’m in the middle of my inner monologue, telling myself this is okay. It’s what we both want. The door opens and slams back behind me as Higgie calls down the hall.

“Old man, come quick, you’ve gotta see this.” I pull back at his voice, but with the volume, I know my partner is in the hallway and unable to see us.

“Wells.” Her smile meets the guilt in my eyes.

“Sweetheart.” In my response, the shame of this, mixed with the passion of a first kiss to rival all first kisses in the past, has my clouded mind tangled with regret and desire.
