Four caskets. Two bodies.
Jessica and Jude Day witness their funeral and that of their parents a few yards away from mourning family and friends. Stripped of the only life they’ve ever known, the Days say goodbye to San Francisco forever.
Four months later, two thirty-year-old misfits with elite self-defense skills and penchants for alcohol, sex, and trouble arrive like an earthquake to Peaceful Woods, a retirement community in Omaha, Nebraska, that thrives on rules and gossip. Welcome home, Jackson and Jillian Knight.
Jackson celebrates his new beginning by embracing his job and wiping his cavalier past clean with a temporary oath of celibacy. But Jillian’s past is branded into her soul—the deaths, the insanity, Dr. Luke Jones, and the need to make her lovers bleed. Her chance for redemption comes in the form of a next door neighbor, one Senior Master Sergeant Monaghan. He’s sexy, dangerously alluring, and riddled with emotional issues from years of service. He’s also … So. Damn. Grumpy.
Their mission is simple: Let go, start over, don't kill anyone, and pray that nobody wakes the dead.
Excerpt
“Have you
ever killed anyone?”
Jessica’s
smile slipped. “If I told you then I’d have to kill you.”
“So
you’re a secret agent?”
She
flipped onto her stomach, resting her chin on her crossed arms. “If I said yes
then it would no longer be a secret. Come on, Jones, you’re losing your focus.
Don’t let me feel smarter than you or our time together will be over and I
rather like hanging out here.”
“Luke,”
he corrected.
“Lucas.”
“Luke.”
“Lukey.”
“LUKE!”
“Lulu.”
“I
mean it!” Luke showed another rare moment of teetering emotion.
Jessica
chuckled. “What are the chances of us having sex? I’ve never done it
missionary, but you could possibly counsel me through it.”
He
refocused on his crossword puzzle, filling in a word in pen. “Less than zero
percent.”
“So,
not in my favor, eh?
“Why
not missionary?”
Jessica
smiled in delight that Luke continued with the topic of conversation. “I’m sure
you already know, but if you want me to say I need control, then sure, I need
control. But the truth is I’d control any sex position you want to put me in.”
Jessica winked as Luke gave her a fleeting glance. “I just don’t want you
thinking you have control, even if I know it’s not the case. Pisses me off to
see the smirk on a guy’s face when he thinks he has control.”
“Tell
me why you need control.” Luke continued with his crossword.
“In
bed?”
“Yes.”
“Someone
has to have it.”
“Why?”
“Because
someone initiates it.”
“So
if I initiate sex with you will I have control?”
“There’s
only one way to find out.” Jessica wiggled her eyebrows at an ill-humored Luke.
