About Captivated by the Light:
Determined to live life on her terms, Jenna
Lachlan
focused her energy on growing her business
all the while
flying under the radar, but fate had other
plans.
Insert the sexy, assertive, and captivating
Cameron Rijker
into the fold, and the stakes just got
higher. He pushed
her buttons, decimated her comfort zone, and
made
her yearn for a life she long since vowed
wasn't
in
the cards.
Their attraction was immediate, their
chemistry
undeniable, and their connection
unparalleled.
However, beneath the surface remained a
secret so
big that Jenna would go to any lengths to
keep
hidden
no matter the cost.
The only downside to anonymity was that you
could
never fully trust anyone but yourself.
Title: Blindsided by Darkness

About Blindsided by Darkness:
With
everything Jenna had worked toward at risk,
yet everything she'd ever dreamed of to gain,
she had
to decide if
Cameron jeopardizing her trust was
worth the risk of letting her guard
down.
Getting
involved with another man was never part of
her plan. However, Cameron wasn't just any
other man.
He was the one. He was an unexpected ray of
light
in
an otherwise darkened existence.
So, when Jenna's past and present collide,
and viable
threats emerge from
the shadows, she finds herself
fighting for the future and a life she hadn't
believed
she was worthy of until Cameron showed her
what
it meant to be truly loved.

About Darkness to Light:
When Jenna's past was called into question,
truths
uncovered, and a stunning secret revealed,
her world fell
apart in the most earth-shattering of ways.
One so devastating and profoundly painful,
there
was no escaping the hollowness that would
remain
in her heart until she righted the wrongs of
the past.
While Jenna was no stranger to a blindside,
nothing
would stand in her way as she fought to
reclaim the
life
she rightfully deserved. However, being
confronted by one's worst nightmare, meant
her
fortitude would
face the ultimate test.
The problem with putting your life on the
line was not
everyone would walk away
unscathed.
Exclusive Excerpt:
“So back to an earlier conversation of ours,
about you not being worth the hassle. Tell me, do you always make a habit of
running from men actively trying to pursue you, or is it just me?”
“It’s just you.”
“Just me you run from, or I am the only man
currently pursuing you?”
“Both.” I broke our eye contact, casting my
eyes down to his chest.
He released my hand from his grasp and, with
featherlight touches, ran the back of his fingertips down the side of my face
until he reached my chin. Once your eyes met again, he whispered, “What has you
so spooked?”
“I don’t trust myself around you,” I blurted
without hesitation, completely surprised by my honesty.
“Have I done or said something specific to
make you feel that way?”
I
shook my head no. “It’s just . . . I’m not sure I’m the right girl for you.”
His hand slipped from my chin and caressed my
back. “Shouldn’t I be the judge of that?”
“You can’t control my thoughts on the
subject, Cameron. I’m not comfortable with the idea of submission,” I
whispered, careful not to let anyone hear. “I know you promised we’d take it
slow—” My voice wandered off, along with my justification as to why we couldn’t
be together.
“Jenna, I’d like for you to trust me when I
say I want the chance to get to know you better. I’m willing to negotiate my
terms.”
“Negotiate?” My body language abruptly became
standoffish. “Do you want to date me, or are these new terms you’re introducing
into our business deal?”
“I find myself drawn to you in a way I can’t
explain but I’m sure you’ve already pieced that together. You also aren’t the
only one who is being cautious here.” His grip tightened behind my back when
the bartender arrived with our drinks. He glanced his attention back to me and
his hands gravitated to my hips, holding me close.
I pressed my lips into a shy smile as a
slight giggle escaped me. Honestly, what did I have to lose? Well, everything,
but for reasons beyond my comprehension, I seemed to be willing enough to
hazard getting caught up in his web of seduction, despite the risks that drove
my fears.
There was no denying Cameron was in my head
as my thoughts filled with him taking my body to new unimaginable heights, a
mental image that left me blushing in heat.
“Whatever you’re thinking about, Jenna, don’t
stop. I hope that brilliant smile has something to do with me because I’d love
to make you smile like this more often.”
I took a deep inhalation in and out and bit
my lip as I gazed up into his gorgeous honey brown eyes. With my hand on his
shoulder, I pushed up on my tiptoes and brushed my lips across his cheekbone to
his ear. He was the breath of fresh air I needed in my life, the wind in my
sails, and the flutter that caused my heart to skip a beat.
“If you’re lucky, I might enlighten you one
day.” His jaw twitched against my cheek, and the corners of my lips lifted in
response.
