Coming Home only 99-cents

Have you read COMING HOME, my sexy contemporary novella? You can for only 99-cents.

EXCERPT:

“You want to take your hands off the lady.” Tobias studied the men. They were in their mid-twenties, both around six feet in height and they’d had the look of men who’d been in plenty of trouble. He knew the type.

“And you want to mind your own business,” the one holding the woman told him.

Tobias slowly shook his head. “Afraid I can’t do that.”

The man’s friend was getting twitchy and started to reach behind his back. Tobias moved, swung his body around and kicked out with his booted foot. At six-four he had very long legs. His size thirteen foot connected with the other man’s stomach and knocked him on his ass. His head bounced once against the concrete sidewalk and he didn’t get up.

Tobias turned his attention back to the other man. “Hurt her and you’re a dead man.” He might have given the better part of his life to upholding the law but there was one person in this world who’d he’d kill for. Die for. And this asshole happened to be holding her arm.

“Who the fuck do you think you are?” the man demanded.

       “Someone you don’t want to fuck with.” Tobias didn’t want to draw his weapon if he didn’t have to. Firing a shot would bring attention and possibly even the cops. He just didn’t want the hassle.

“I ain’t afraid of you.”

He could fight the man but it might be easier to just make him go away. Tobias reached into his back pocket and pulled out a thin leather wallet. He flipped it open to display his credentials. “DEA. I can make trouble for you and your buddy for the next twenty years of your life or you can walk away. Your choice.”

The man released the woman’s arm as though it was too hot to touch. He backed away, his hands held in front of him. “Hey man. No need to get worked up about things. I was just trying to explain something to the bi—” He broke off when he caught the expression on Tobias’s face.

Tiring of the posturing. Tobias took a step toward the man. He stumbled back and almost tripped over the curb.

 “Take your friend with you.”

 The man on the ground moaned but his friend yanked him to his feet and the two of them disappeared down the road.

 The woman stood silently beneath the streetlight and he drank in the sight of her. Her shoulder-length brown hair was gone, replaced by a short, sassy cut. And it was now cherry red. Such an obviously fake color shouldn’t have looked good, yet it suited her perfectly and enhanced the delicate features of her face. High cheekbones, a slender nose and porcelain skin made her beautiful. Her green eyes held intelligence and her lips turned up in a smile.


“Still making friends with your winning ways, Tobias.”

He closed his eyes briefly as the affection in her voice warmed him all the way to his cold heart. “I could say the same thing about you.”
