BERNADETTE JONES ( Cont .) SLEEPIN ’ ALONE

BLURB
Every man is guilty of the good he did not do ….
Ruby Leigh Dupree , running from a past she can ’ t remember , settles in Spencer , Colorado . When a man claiming to be from her past walks in the door of the Wild Card Saloon , she ’ s forced to confront the monsters from her nightmares . As difficult as it is to trust someone — especially a stranger — she has no options . Hunter Lawe claims to have the answers . Will they lead to her past or her death ?
Undercover cop , Hunter Lawe , is consumed with making up for his past failures . Now he ’ s riding the line between enforcing the law and breaking it . Past deceit and betrayal taught him to distrust . Bent on revenge and straddling the line between enforcing the law and breaking it , will his desperate need for vengeance allow him to use Ruby Leigh , regardless of the cost ? ***** Amazon Review by Sydnee : “ Oh my hotness !! I am not normally a read-all-day-long gal , but I could not put this book down . I started reading the day I got it and I was hooked from the very beginning . Couldn ’ t go to sleep until I finished the entire book .”
EXCERPT
He did not want her .
Grabbing the next item from the suitcase , he continued his search . Damn it , he was the one in control . Ruby was the key and , like it or not , she was going to help him bring DeMitri down . “ What do you think you ’ re doing ?” Ruby ’ s exclaimed . “ What does it look like I ’ m doing ?” Hunter snapped . “ I ’ m checking your clothes and suitcases for weapons , drugs , incriminating evidence .”
She stormed across the room and jerked the black bra from his grasp . “ I don ’ t do drugs .”
Hunter scowled down at her . “ Let ’ s get one thing straight . I don ’ t believe you , and I sure as hell don ’ t trust you . You look better than most of DeMitri ’ s girls . All that means is that he probably hadn ’ t finished with you himself . The fact that he sent you after me , corroborates that assessment .”
