Synopsis:
Sands of Time is a contemporary romance set in a small Upstate New York town called Heart Falls, a town where heroes are born and passion is bred. This spicy romance tests the boundaries of trust, forgiveness, strength, passion, and most of all…love.
Once again, single mom Jade Santiago is trapped under her father’s firm hand. If her existence wasn’t complicated enough, her son’s father, John Sands, has popped back into her life. John doesn’t know JT is his son, and Jade plans to keep it that way. John’s ignorance ensures his protection from her abusive, vindictive father. Especially now that John works for him.
Bad-boy-turned-cop John Sands loves women, but hates relationships. At least, that was, until Jade Santiago came back to town. Now he wants things. Things like family and commitment. Not to mention hot sex. For her, he’s ready to change his priorities. If he can only get past her stubborn indifference and the chief of police, who happens to be her father and his boss, she’ll end up right where she belongs—in his arms and his bed
Keeping JT’s dad a secret for all these years seemed like a good idea, but the more John proves himself a genuine friend and an honorable man, the more Jade struggles with her intense attraction and undeniable guilt. He deserves the truth. A truth that will ultimately destroy all she has worked to protect. A truth that will shatter the trust of the only man she has ever loved. A truth that will change their lives forever.
Excerpt:
Tonight
would not only be a reunion, but a rebirth. A renewal of hearts, a
new start for what might have been had circumstance not snuffed out
their passion.
She
hurried to the bathroom, shut the door, and removed her clothes. With
a quick turn, she brought her naked back into view of the mirror. She
glanced over her shoulder at her reflection, taking one more look at
her scars. Her eyes traveled down her spine, over her butt and upper
thighs. Angry, puckered skin crisscrossed the area. They were a
brand, marks of a life she wanted to leave behind. She looked away
before tears formed. They usually did when confronted with the
evidence of her father’s hatred of her.
For
a second, she feared John’s reaction. He had seen a glimpse of the
damage to her spine in his truck, but there were others, a lifetime’s
worth of the evidence of her father’s horrific form of discipline.
Would
John be revolted? Would he turn away from her?
Fear
crept in. The same old insecurities that plagued her the night she
spent with him so long ago. She had managed to hide herself back then
with the cover of night.
An
image of her father’s madness darkened her thoughts.
No,
I won’t let that man in my head. I won’t let him hurt me anymore.
I won’t let him ruin this beautiful night or any other.
Her
father was wrong. Someone did care about her—John.
