Congratulations to "LibraryPat", the winner in Elizabeth's giveaway. Thank you to all who participated!
On her first day on the job as a forensics specialist, Shaye
Mallory quite literally walked into the man of her dreams. She managed to stay on her feet that day, but
she fantasized about police detective Cole Walker for the next two years, all
the while knowing it would never be more than a fantasy.
Then a drive-by shooting at the police station that nearly
killed her drove her out of police work, and out of constant contact with
Cole. Finally, after a year away, Shaye
worked up the courage to return – only to be shot at again! This time, she’s targeted at a grocery store
parking lot, and from the off-the-books protection detail Cole has set up
around her, she fears the gang responsible for the first shooting is back and
after revenge for her testimony.
As the leads spiral into too many directions and Shaye
wonders if she’ll ever feel safe again, she realizes one thing. Life is too short not to go for what you
want. So, while Cole is at her house,
keeping her safe and trying to run down the details of who might want to hurt
her, Shaye makes a decision.
Here’s a snippet from the scene where everything changes for
Shaye –
From the moment she’d met him, she’d put him up on a
pedestal: her ideal, unattainable man. As a couple maybe they’d never make
sense—she didn’t know what kinds of women he dated, but she knew he wasn’t shy.
He went after what he wanted, and he’d never chased her. Not even close. But
there was no question he was attracted to her.
She lived her life cautiously, always had. The biggest risk
she’d ever taken was moving across the country for a job, but plenty of people
did that without a second thought. Maybe for once she needed to stop thinking
about all the consequences, stop worrying about the fact that there was no
future for her with a man who ran into gunfire without hesitation. Maybe it was
time to live for today.
Cole was heading into the family room, clearly expecting her
to follow, probably planning to get back to work, tracking down anyone with a
reason to hurt her.
The reminder strengthened her resolve. There was actually a
gunman hunting for her. If he caught up to her, what would she regret not
having done in her life?
Right now every answer she could think of involved Cole
Walker.
She took a fortifying breath and followed him. It was time
to stop having regrets…

Police Protector
She's become his whole
world - and she's under fire
Ever since forensics analyst Shaye Mallory survived a
police-station shootout, Detective Cole Walker has felt personally responsible
for her wellbeing. Then another shooter takes aim at Shaye. Cole decides the
only thing he can do is stay right by her side until he finds the man who wants
her dead.
Cole knows that he must set aside his attraction to Shaye if
he's going to do his job. But as the days - and nights - go on, it becomes
harder and harder to resist his feelings. And, as danger moves ever closer to
them both, Shaye realizes that her safety might cost her the life of the man
she loves.

I guess the first one was deciding to join the Peace Corps when I was in high school, and then applying my junior year of college. I lived at home while attending college and had never really been away. After graduation, I got on a plane for training in California and then headed for the Philippines. I just knew it was the right thing for me and I could do it. I extended for a third year and had the time of my life. I learned so much and hope that I helped.
