Stolen Beauty


Book Description

He made a promise…and someone out there is about to discover what that means. The front door hinges creaked, the faint sound traveling through the still night.

Seconds later, and everything would’ve happened differently. Seconds later, and I’d be dead. My brother trained me. Told me what to do if I was ever in danger. I’d thought he was paranoid, a side effect of his life in the military. Before the explosion, he left instructions. I followed those instructions carefully, straight to his best friend’s door. A man I haven’t seen in ages. A man who didn’t show up to my brother’s funeral. An ex-SEAL I knew before his Navy days. A boy I crushed on back then, but now…it’s a different era. My sister is missing, and I need his help to find her. There’s a chance the man who broke into my home succeeded in getting her. All my focus needs to be on finding her, but yet I’m growing closer to him. Who am I kidding? I’m crushing all over again. When two killers find me, he’s there to protect me.
