DECEMBER, 2017 DAMAGED By: Jeanne St. James The Plot: Mace Walker can‟t wait to get home. Being buried deep undercover for the past two years on the most complex case of his career has torn him down physically and mentally. Now the FBI agent has come home to recover after having his leg badly in- jured from a gunshot wound. Arriving home late one night, his relief is short- lived as he‟s faced with a stranger pointing a gun to his head, acting like he‟s the one who doesn‟t belong there. Colby Parks, a biochemist at the local university, had come to town a year earlier to escape an abusive relationship. She vows never to put herself in that situation again. Then the perfect opportunity comes along: house-sitting for Mace‟s sister while making the house she purchased habitable. But she couldn‟t anticipate this big snag: the one wearing the tight Levi‟s and worn leather jacket, looking like he had just es- caped prison. ***** Amazon Review by Stephanie Ditmore: “…This book is very emotional, suspenseful, a little angsty (if that‟s even a word), twisty, action-filled with very steamy sex scenes and an overall fantastic story.” https://www.amazon.com/gp/ customer-reviews/RT5I1F7VZMDY5 Available in Print and E-Book At: Amazon An Excerpt: His intensely dark, almost black eyes and his unshaven face unnerved her. His dark clothes seemed suspicious, and his over- sized, bulky leather jacket was large enough to conceal some- thing. Creeping into the house after dark made him even more suspect. Maybe she should call the police anyway. Though he did sort of look like Maxi, but in a more beefy, masculine way. “I still want to see some ID,” she repeated, more firmly this time. With a grumble, he pulled out his wallet and flipped it open. A photo ID was tucked in the clear plastic front pocket, but he didn‟t remove it, and she couldn‟t see it clearly from where she stood. Instead, he dug until he found something spe- cific. He handed her an old, expired driver‟s license, one in which he looked much younger…and his expression looked worry- free. No frown lines marred the man looking at her from the photo.
