Please join me in welcoming Mickie Sherwood to The Second Half today! Mickie is the author of Cherished Moments, a new sweet romantic suspense.
Here's a bit about the story:
Senator
Jordan Dupré is reluctant to revisit her past. That thought crumbles at the
sight of Deacon Burke. His commanding presence and charming smile transports her
back to her youth. Back then, she kissed, loved, lied, and left him—taking a
life-changing secret with her.
Scorned
by Jordan’s dishonesty, Deke swears he never wants to see her lying face again.
However, his heart knows better, and he never stops thinking of her. When
Jordan’s husband is killed, Deke is summoned to the Senator’s aid, by an
unlikely source—Unfortunately, he brings a secret of his own.
Will
secrets from their past reignite their cherished moments?
Excerpt:
Deke’s
number rang a long time before he finally answered. "Hello."
"Deke,
it's me." Her throat felt scratchy from screaming. Clearing it only aggravated
the rawness. "Thank you for being there."
"You
know, I'll always be here for you, Jay."
"That
man probably would have strangled me to death if you hadn't shown up when you
did."
"What?
What man? What are you talking about?"
Confusion
settled over Jordan. "Wasn't that you in the parking lot a few minutes
ago?"
"Jay,
you banished me from your place. Remember?" He growled the words.
"It
was so dark," Jordan revealed to him. "Then, who?" Her senses reeled. "Someone
actually tried to harm me."
"I'm
on my way.” Deke’s voice was even keeled though she deciphered an undercurrent
of agony.
"I'm
not at the office."
"You’re
not. Then, where the hell are you?"
Now,
she interpreted frustration in his tone. “I’m on my way to the
lake."
"The
lake? Where the hell is that?"
"Use
my number to sync my signal, Deke. You'll have the directions. It hurt so badly
to talk. I have to go."
"Jay!”
he yelled into the phone.
"See
you when you get there." She whispered goodbye, and then ended the
call.
