Book Description:
You’ll die in three minutes
without oxygen, three hours without shelter, three days without water and three
weeks without food. But could you live a lifetime with a broken heart?
Mercy Evans has come to
Evans Point hoping to collect herself and find a way to resurrect her career as
an anchorwoman for Cheyenne
One is a battle-damaged
veteran, the other a desperate woman who will go to any extreme to get his
story. When their worlds collide, sparks fly and old wounds open. As the chasm
between the fated lovers widens, it might be too big to cross.
One town, two lovers, and a
second chance at finding mercy.
Excerpt:
Fingers pressed against his throat, feeling for a pulse.
“This one’s alive.” Someone hoisted the weight of a large chunk
of wreckage from his torso. Two sets of hands slid under him. “On the count of
three. One. Two. Three.”
They moved in unison, rolling him onto a stretcher.
“No,” he begged. He wasn’t alive. This couldn’t be real. Another
protest gurgled from his throat and he began to convulse, unable to hold his
limbs still.
“Hold him down so I can sedate him.” Hands grasped his wounded limbs. Bone cracked and shifted under their grip. He tried to arch up, but remained restrained by several soldiers. He yelled and thrashed. They grabbed both sides of his face, holding him still.

Justin screamed. The sound was so inhuman; if he hadn’t been the
one who’d made it, he wouldn’t have believed it came from a man. A stick with a
needle. Burning.
As the seizure eased, they released their hold. He turned his
head toward the medic who’d drugged him. The man blurred in and out. Justin’s
vision came back into focus as a burned picture of a woman and baby caught the
breeze and tumbled across the baked earth next to where the medic kneeled.
Justin swallowed and his eyes blurred with tears. Sanders hadn’t even gotten to
hold his daughter.
“You’re going to be okay.”
Let me die. Please. Let me die. Pain rode his nerves like an electrical
wire, sending jolts of agony to the tips of his fingers and toes. He opened his
mouth, but nothing came from his throat. Boom,
boom, boom. His heartbeat
slowed as the sedative did its job.
“Get him on the chopper.”
Regardless the drug, every step the medics took hurt as they
hauled him toward reprieve. Broken bones, burns, but nothing compared to what
played through his head. He’d killed them all and survived to see his
handiwork. Nothing could be worse than that.
