Excerpt:
He pushed himself to his feet, disconcerted by his unsteadiness.
He made a few halting steps toward the gate as Blair ran into
the yard.

“I forgot my sweater,” she said, grabbing the garment from the
back of a chair and slipping it on. “It’s cooler than I thought. Are
you sure you don’t want to watch the fireworks with us?”

“No, I—”
His words were cut off by a loud explosion, and his only thought
was that he had to protect Blair. He grabbed her and threw her
to the ground, covering her body with his. He was under attack.
Why was Blair in Afghanistan? How could he keep her safe?

Through the chaos and noise he heard her muffled voice
beneath him. “Garrett, you’re crushing me.”

He shifted his weight slightly. “Shh. I’m sorry. You have to stay
down and quiet. I can’t let them hurt you.”

She stopped struggling. “Who’s going to hurt me?”
“Can’t you hear the mortar fire? I have to protect you.”
Her hand rubbed his back in gentle circles. “It’s all right, Garrett.
It’s only fireworks. It can’t hurt us. We’re safe here.”

He lifted his head and looked around. He was in Cole and Lauren
’s back yard in Masonville. There were no bombs, no shelling,
no Taliban. He looked down into Blair’s face, into the pity in her
eyes. He rolled off her, disgusted with himself.

Disgusted and scared. He was losing his mind.
Author Bio:
When Jana Richards read her first romance novel, she
immediately knew two things: she had to commit the stories
running through her head to paper, and they had to end with a
happily ever after. She also knew she’d found what she was
meant to do. Since then she’s never met a romance genre she
didn’t like. She writes contemporary romance, romantic
suspense, and historical romance set in World War Two, in
lengths ranging from short story to full length novel. Just for fun,
she throws in generous helpings of humor, and the occasional
dash of the paranormal. Her paranormal romantic suspense
“Seeing Things” was a 2008 EPPIE finalist.
