An
Internal Affairs Investigator was murdered and his brother, Donovan Goldwyn,
was framed. Now Donovan is desperate to prove his innocence. And the one person
who can do that is the woman who saved him from a deadly hurricane—Beth
Kennedy. From the moment their fates intertwined, passion consumed him. He
wants her in his arms. More, he wants her by his side in his darkest moments.
Beth
Kennedy may not know everything about Donovan, but she can’t deny what she
feels for him. It’s her love for him that pushes her to do whatever she has to
do to help him get justice, including putting herself in a criminal’s
crosshairs.
When
a tip reveals the killer's location, they travel to California, but then an
earthquake of catastrophic proportions separates them. As aftershocks roll the
land, Beth and Donovan have to endure dangerous conditions while trying to find
their way back to one another. Will they reunite and find the killer, or will
they lose everything?
Warmth spread through him as he watched Beth exchange
hugs with them.
“Oh, Beth, we’re so happy you came,” his mom said. “I
brought cookies. They’re in the car.”
“I can never pass up cookies,” Beth said.
In the backseat of his mom’s van, she cracked open a red
and gold tin canister. The aroma of the snowball cookies Donovan grew up eating
wafted out and touched his nose. Beth selected a cookie on top, bit into it,
and let out a content moan. “These cookies are delicious.”
“I’ll have to give you the recipe. They’re easy to make,”
his mom said.
“That would be great. Thank you.”
Grandma turned in her seat and held out a thermos.
“Don’t forget the hot chocolate. It’s the real stuff,
too, none of that instant crap from a package.”
Donovan took the thermos, unscrewed the cap, and gave it
to Beth. She took a sip.
“Wow. Can I take the two of you home with me?”
Laughter filled the van.
Seeing Beth getting along so well with the two other
women he loved brought up a surge of emotions he couldn’t tamp down. Didn’t
want to tamp down. As it consumed him, he had the urge to show her how much she
meant to him. And he didn’t care who saw it either.

Hey, Chrys! Love having you and the recipe is awesome. When I shared on another loop, a writer said she subbed almonds for the pecans. Either way sounds yummy.
@Vicki, I never heard of using almonds for this cookie. But I love almonds. :D Thank you so much for having me on your blog!
A murder, a frame-up, and a major earthquake all in one love story? The wow factor is sure to be high! Sounds like a great read, and the cookie recipe sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing.

Chrys, sounds like an awesome read and set in San Fran, too. And pecan balls, I love 'em and so easy to make. All the luck in the world with your new release!
The cookies sound like the ones my mother-in-law makes! Yum! I've never been in a natural disaster. But I live in Michigan, the snow in May was about as bad as it gets!
Cookies and a great book! Thanks!!!
@Linda, I sure hope the wow-factor is high. ;)
@Barbara, I'm also glad I shared the recipe. Now you can make them again. :D
@Hebby, pecan balls. Yes, that's another name for them. I'm used to calling them snowballs because of the powdered sugar. :)
@Melissa, they are a pretty popular cookies, especially for the holidays. Snow in May? Yikes.
