Can their bond withstand the test of time?
Lauren isn't looking for love when she spends a scintillating
night with Reid, the sexy keyboardist of Thane's Redemption. While their
passion may be off the charts, her trust issues--and Reid's secret life as a
time-traveling covert agent--makes any chance for a relationship impossible.
When operatives involved in a mysterious project begin dying, Reid defies orders and travels alone into the future to find the cause. But when things go dangerously awry, it takes all of his strength to get himself back to safety--and directly onto Lauren's doorstep. While neither of them remembers their night of passion, their intense connection leads Lauren to help him. But as Reid's memories reignite, will he be forced to sacrifice everything to finish his mission--including the woman he loves?

Excerpt
Laughter came from the stage.
The members of the band were breaking down
their equipment and talking with fans. A group of women surrounded the
keyboardist. One of them wore a tiara and a “Finally 21!” sash over a
form-fitting, pink minidress. He draped an arm around her and posed for
pictures. The redhead practically swooned. Who could blame her? Six years ago,
at that age, she would have done the same. His wide shoulders were made for
holding onto, and the way he filled out those jeans screamed hot body. Not to
mention that orgasm-inducing grin. He turned up the wattage on said grin and
chatted with his admirers. At least a ten-year age difference existed between
him and the birthday girl. The way he flirted with her and her friends, maybe
he preferred to date younger.
His eyes locked on Lauren. Even from a
distance, she could see his gaze roaming over her from head to toe and back up
again. He smiled and her short, white dress grew as warm as a parka. Caught
staring, could she look more pathetic?
Steps from the exit, a drunken guy staggered
into her path. An abrupt halt left her teetering in her stilettos. A strong,
masculine arm wrapped around her waist. Lauren’s heart jumped.
“Careful.” His breath ruffled the hair near her
cheek. “I’ve got you.”
People squeezed by to get to the door. She
didn’t budge. The keyboardist’s clean, woodsy scent surrounded her as she
leaned against hard chest muscle.
“Time to move. We’re about to get trampled.” He
rested his hand on her back. Confidence and his long stride sliced through the
crowd. They walked out and moved to the side of the door.
Too much space allowed cool night air to steal
his warmth. Exhaust fumes from departing cars snatched away his appealing
scent.
More people piled out of the club.
He turned his back to the door. Lights near the
awning illuminated the clean-shaven lines of his face. “I’m Reid, by the way.”
Intense hazel eyes robbed her of speech. Her,
lost for words? That never happened. “I’m Lauren.”
“Nice to meet you, Lauren. So, are you coming
to the after-party?”
Across the parking lot, Ari begged and stamped
her feet. Inches shorter than Celine, she resembled a child throwing a tantrum.
“My friend Celine is tired. She wants to go
home.”
Reid stepped into her space. Close enough for
warmth and deliciousness to return and kick up her heart rate. “What do you
want?”
To stay out of trouble.
After three failed relationships in five
months, she was taking a break from men, dating, the whole shebang. “It isn’t
about what I want.”
“It should be.”
“When we’re out together, if one of us doesn’t
want to do something, we all take a pass.”
He flattened her hand to his chest. “You’re
breaking my heart. I can’t believe fate brought you to me tonight just to take
you away.”

passion…
Thane’s unexpected connection with Celine only
leaves him wanting more of her—but his life makes it impossible. For Thane's
Redemption is just a cover for a deeper secret: A former Army Ranger presumed
dead, Thane is really a time-traveling, covert operative charged with saving

their favor to give them a second chance at love? Or will a choice Thane makes
in the future put Celine in mortal danger...?
