The Watchers Series

Fallen angels seeking parole for their betrayal . . .

 

Someone is watching Rachel . . . but who? And why?

 

Child psychologist Rachel Kelly has her Christmas stocking full of troubles this holiday season, both personal and professional. Recently separated from her boyfriend, Rachel still loves him but has no idea how to win him back. If that’s not enough to cause her sleepless nights, she’s uncertain how to handle her newest therapy client—a six-year-old boy who claims he talks to Watchers. And a Watcher is coming to help Rachel.

 

Lt. Jake Dillon has his heart broken when his fiancée Rachel, without warning, suddenly calls it quits. Yet when a stalker crashes Rachel's Christmas party and takes her young clients hostage, Jake is the first person Rachel calls. Now he has a choice to make—stand back and wait for the cavalry to save her, or step in and try to save her himself. Time is running out, and Jake may be their only chance for rescue.

 

Unless Rachel's young Watcher spy is telling the truth . . .

 

This romantic suspense tale with paranormal elements is Book 2 in The Watchers series . . . A captivating tale of small-town Christmas romance that will leave you looking over your shoulder and wondering, Is someone watching me?

EXCERPT:

“Jake, I came by to see you because of the Buckhead crisis.”

 

“I figured as much.”

 

Rachel could’ve sworn he looked disappointed for a fleeting moment. That gave her the courage to go on. “To offer my shoulder—”

 

“To cry on?” he sneered.

 

“No! To lean on. Please don’t be ugly.”

 

“I can’t help it. You broke us up.”

 

Incredulous, she gaped at him. “Me! Must I keep reminding you? You left me.”

 

He closed the distance between them, so close she could feel his body heat.

 

“You let me leave,” he said gruffly.

 

“I didn’t—”

 

“You let me leave,” he repeated, his face but inches away.

 

His unique Jake scent wafted over her. She wanted to smother in it. She wanted . . . 

 

“I didn’t want you to go,” she whispered.

 

He caught her to him in a fierce embrace. No gentle kiss this. It screamed of need and anger and desperation. His. Hers. She didn’t know for sure. Didn’t care. She wanted to cry from the relief of having his arms around her again.

 

Knuckling her fists into his warm tee shirt, she tried to yank him closer, but the shirt was old and stretched unmercifully. His lips smiled against hers as he grabbed a breath and then kissed her again, his tongue sweeping in to tangle with hers.

 

She could die from his wonderful familiar taste. She savored, remembered, and stored for later. Giving up on the shirt, she wound her arms around his neck to tug him closer, to pull him into her if she could.

 

Suddenly, his hands at her hips pressed her back, and she shamelessly hung on tighter. He reached up and worked her hands free, then kissed each one.

 

His eyes had gone black. This close, she could clearly see. No doubt a reflection of hers.

 

“Like coming home, isn’t it?” he rasped, his voice so hoarse it came out as a whisper.
