Stolen Moments. B.J. Daniels

Чтение книги онлайн.

       A daughter, a son, a secret…

      With ebony hair and bottomless eyes, Seth Gantry was the kind of man Olivia “Levi” McCord’s father warned her about--and the last man on earth she’d ever fall for. Especially after the sinewy cowboy kidnapped her.

      Seth claimed to be her bodyguard and that he needed to take her to a safe house. But when the Montana mountain cabin blows up, he becomes all that stands between Levi and an untimely death. Running for their lives and with no one to trust, Levi is at the mercy of the sexiest man she’d ever met. Suddenly she isn’t certain whether the real danger comes from the killer on her trail…or the virile cowboy who’s vowed to keep her alive.

       He’d give her the truth—whether she could handle it or not

      “The least you could do is come up with a good story,” Levi snapped, eyes blazing, before he could speak.

      Seth hit the brakes, but it wasn’t until the car stopped that he looked over at her. She had the handcuffed hand braced against the seat, and she looked at him like he were a madman.

      “You don’t get it, do you?” he ground out. “I don’t have to come up with any story. I was hired to bring you here. Let’s not kid ourselves. Someone took care of your bodyguards, someone blew up the cabin. I may be going out on a limb here but I think we were supposed to be inside it.”

      “What are you saying?” She swallowed hard.

      “That someone knows too much about you and me.

      Someone who wants us both dead.’

      “That’s ridiculous. I might have been kidnapped for money, but kill me? Why?” When he shook his head, she went on. “Don’t you know anything?”

      “I might not be the knight in shining armor you hoped for, princess, but I’m all you’ve got.”

      “What if I preferred to save myself instead of—”

      He cut her off. “You wouldn’t last twenty-four hours on your own.”

      Her eyes narrowed and pierced his. “How do I know I’ll last twenty-four hours with you?”

      Dear Reader,

      When actions of the past come home to haunt Senator James Marshall McCord, Texas rancher and recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor, he knows he must protect the people he loves most in the world—his family. But he’ll need some help from three very rugged, very determined men.
