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!
