Hayden Patterson has a simple rule.
And he’s never broken it. Sleeping with a woman more than
once simply isn’t going to happen. He’s always managed to hang onto his
resolve, and so far, no woman’s ever blasted her way through. It’s one and
done, with no prospect of ever having anything permanent. His childhood gave
him that thinking and he has no plans to ever change.
Two women alone, and one of them is in more danger than
anyone realizes.
It’s hard being a teenager. Kacey Flournoy knows that all
too well. Stuck in a school district full of snobby rich kids, she doesn’t fit
in on her single mom’s salary. When she’s cast as a bully, it only gets worse –
especially since she’s the one being bullied. And her poor mom, Delaina,
doesn’t know what to do. Since Kacey’s dad died while serving in the military,
it’s all she can do to put food on the table.
When Hayden draws his first assignment through Citadel
Security, he can’t believe it. No way does he want to follow a poor little rich
girl around all day to guard her from a bully. It doesn’t take him long,
however, to figure out that something’s terribly wrong. And when he tries to
right it, he meets the one woman who just might make him break his
long-standing promise. That would mean he’d have to let go of the past, but
he’s sure he’s not ready and he never will be.
A novella nestled between the first and second books in the
first spinoff series from the Love Under Construction series, One Broken
Promise takes the hunted to the hunter, the oppressor to the oppressed, and one
very scared man to a place that will bring him to his knees. If you’ve ever
been bullied, you’ll feel the pain. But you’ll also taste the joy of a promise
broken.
WARNING: Strong, graphic sexual situations, a heinous
criminal act against both an animal and a person by a seriously sick
individual, and a suicide. For readers 18+ only.

About the Author
For as long as I can remember, I've been a writer . . .
and it has served me well. I wrote for local publications, wrote marketing and advertising materials, wrote for academic publications, and eventually grew jaded with the writing profession as I often watched others take credit for my hard work. I retreated into the world of 3-D art in the fiber and textile mediums and hid out in a world of colors and textures. But, truth is, there was always a story or two in my head. It wasn't until Nikki and I met in my imagination that I decided it was time to let those stories out, and I'm glad I did. My readers now get to enjoy the fruits of my imagination and, believe me, it runs wild!
On the personal side, I've been happily married to my lover and best friend for over thirty years, and I have two wonderful adult kids who've blessed me with two excellent choices of life partners. When I'm not writing, I'm playing with my three crazy little dogs, hiking in a local recreation area, kayaking, working out at the gym, tending my herbs, cooking, or doing some kind of research.
But I'd really rather be writing!
