Book Description:
He's hiding out because someone wants him dead...
Cameron Rafferty is keeping secrets. Dangerous secrets that could endanger the lives of everyone around him. His plan was simple...keep a low profile until the would-be-killer was found. And it was working - until an accident changed everything. Before he knows it, he finds himself becoming more involved with the family next door, and wishing for things he shouldn't. Things that will put their lives in jeopardy, too.
Her summer plans didn't include secrets and danger...
Spending summers on Bois Blanc Island was a tradition for author Laura Keane and her young son. Filled with special memories of the husband she'd lost to war, she looked forward to days of reminiscing, playing, and working on her newest novel. She didn't expect this year to be any different - but that was before their sexy neighbor came to her rescue like a knight in shining armor. Will that armor be tarnished when she finds out what he is and why he's living next door?

Excerpt 2
Laura watched Cameron walking
toward the water’s edge, wearing the brightest, loudest swimming trunks she had
ever seen. He hadn’t wasted any time in changing, given the fact that they
hadn’t been home a full five minutes yet. She saw him wade out to his knees,
hesitate briefly, then dive head first under the water. She shivered at the
thought of how cold it must be, and her lips curved in a tender smile.
If only it were so easy for a
woman. Instead, she knew she was going to be cleaning the chalet from top to
bottom, hoping against hope that she was so exhausted by the time Sam lit the
fire tonight, that holding hands with Cameron wouldn’t bother her at all.
“Yeah, right,” she thought,
shaking her head as she watched him swimming hard along the coastline. “And the
man in the moon is going to float down and deliver some cream cheese, too.”
“What?” Sam asked, walking
into the living room. “I didn’t know you were back.” His gaze followed hers,
and his chin dropped a little. “Is that Mr. Rafferty?”
“Yes.”
“Why is he swimming without a
wetsuit? Man that water is cold.”
“Maybe it’s a guy thing. We
saw a few of them swimming on our way back to the island. Maybe he wants to
prove to himself that he’s as tough as those younger guys are.” It could have
been the truth. They had seen some guys swimming without suits. And he could
have been trying to act young and stupid, but he wasn’t.
“I think I’ll head out to the
beach. In case he winds up needing some help.”
“You do that. I think I’m
going to wash the windows today.”
Sam looked at her, brows
raised, and reached for the handle on the French door. He paused, looked out at
Cameron, then back at her.
Laura knew the exact moment
when he put two and two together. As a look of pure disgust crossed his face,
she wished for the non-existent hole to open up and swallow her.
“Ew! That’s just wrong. You
guys are way too old to be thinking about stuff like that,” he muttered,
hurrying outside and slamming the door behind him.
Turning quickly, in case he
looked back at her, Laura laughed uproariously. Too old? So not.
About the Author:
Kristy K. James' first goal in life was to work in law enforcement, until the night she called the police to check out a scary noise in her yard. Realizing that she might someday have to investigate scary noises in yards just as dark as hers if she continued on that path, she turned to her other favorite love...writing. Since then her days have been filled with being a mom and reluctant zookeeper (7 pets), creating stories, and looking for trouble in her kitchen.
