Exposure (Buried Secrets book
one) to one randomly drawn commenter during this tour and her other Super Book
Blast on August 27th.
Homeless Army veteran Sullivan Turner is nobody’s hero. His failure to save his fallen comrades
proved that. So when a gutsy social
worker gets caught in a drug gang’s crosshairs, he knows he’s the last man who
can safeguard her and the pregnant teenagers she’s trying to protect.
Former debutant Haley Barnes learned the hard way how to
survive. After witnessing a cold-blooded
murder, the terrified teenaged runaway changed her identity and hid to save her
life. But when the killer tracks her
down and attacks the girls in the homeless shelter she now runs, Haley knows
the time has come to stand and fight.
But to bring down the powerful killer she must confront her high-society
family’s darkest secrets -- and convince wounded warrior Sully Turner he’s the
hero she believes.

Excerpt
She tightened her grip on his
waist. His pulse slowing, he closed his
eyes, feeling oddly at peace despite the danger hounding their heels. Maybe it was because she’d suffered as much
as he had. Maybe because she understood
how deep a loss like that could sear.
But he realized that he liked being around Haley. He respected her. Admired her.
He was falling for her. Hard.
His stomach sank. He had no right to pursue her. He was the last person she needed, unsuitable
in every way. She needed someone who
could protect her, defend her, not an unstable wreck like him.
But he couldn’t seem to resist
her. Everything about her impressed him
-- her loyalty, her determination to safeguard others, her refusal to run from
the enemy dogging their steps.
And God help him, but he wanted to
feel that again, that idealism, that drive to make a difference in the world,
that need to battle the bad guys and keep the defenseless safe.
To be the man that he once was.
