A FACE IN THE MIRROR
Hope Carson may not look like a survivor, but she has escaped an abusive ex-husband and recovered from a vicious assault. Now she endures the painful memories and suspicious rumors surrounding her involvement in the attack. Her ex is a cop, so the last people she trusts are law enforcement officials—and she certainly doesn’t trust how the local DA makes her feel inside.
Remy Jennings should know better. He has no business falling for a woman who he suspects may have a deeply troubled mind. And even if he did make a move, she’d bolt like a frightened rabbit. But how can he deny a burning desire that threatens to consume him? As Hope’s past catches up with her in the worst way, Remy is determined to break through her defenses, earn her trust, and keep her safe in his arms—before it’s too late.

but it took all his restraint to continue just sitting there as the little black convertible came up the drive. The top was down. But he couldn’t see that long, gleaming brown hair blowing in the breeze. It was Hope, though. No mistaking that … he’d recognize her even if she was in a room with five hundred other women, he suspected. As the car came to a stop, his heart started to race. Across the room, Law laughed. “Man, you need to take a breath or two before you pass out.” Shit. Breathe?
the couch and for a short while, she’d been able to just not think. Not think about that woman who’d pulled a gun on her and Law. Had a short while when she hadn’t thought about what Law had done, how he’d used their friendship. But time was running out, she supposed. It was late and she needed to get out of here. Go back to his place, face Law. Deal with what had happened. It was dark and a cool breeze was blowing in through the open doors. Hope stood on the small balcony of Remy’s place,

She wasn’t not having him touch her the entire weekend—she should have bought the damn curtains. The lights clicked off, casting the room into shadows.
