Don't miss @savage_trainer on the cover of the next book in the Evan Arden Series! Otherwise Unharmed will hit Amazon on December 5th, 2013!
After Evan
Arden was imprisoned by the enemy for a year and a half, he returned from the
desert as a military hero. He’d suffered
some minor injuries during his captivity, was discharged from the Marines with
a touch of shellshock, but was considered otherwise unharmed. Now he wonders how he ended up where he is—incarcerated
in Chicago’s Metropolitan Correctional Center for using his sharpshooting
expertise to take out the neighborhood park with a high-powered sniper rifle and
multiple rounds of ammunition.
Lia
Antonio, the woman he rescued from the desert heat the previous year, is the only
person who can bring him out of his sleep-deprived psychosis and mounting PTSD. When she does, Evan knows he can’t just let
her go again. He’s never considered
leaving the business before—who retires from the mafia?—but he’s determined to
get both Lia and himself out of harm’s way.
Evan
faces overwhelming forces from multiple directions as a deal to get him out of
jail turns more dangerous than he imagined.
With a mob war on the horizon and the feds holding evidence over his
head, Evan has no choice but to throw himself into the middle of another warzone.
In his
efforts to make things right, Evan crosses the wrong man and finds himself on
the business end of the crosshairs. With
his acute perception and intelligence, he tries to stay a step ahead of his
former co-workers, but this time, it isn’t just his own life on the line—he’s
got to protect Lia from the man who once called him son.
And a little teaser to tide you over until December...

My
cheek rested on Lia’s abdomen, and I felt her hand against the back of
my head, cradling me to her body. I had my arms wrapped around her
center, and I held her close against my chest as I lay beside her on the
small bed that reminded me too much of the one in the cabin.
I didn’t move. I only inhaled deeply to embrace the scent of her. It
was her own, sweet fragrance combined with the smell of our activity
from the night before. I curled my fingers around her hip, touched my
nose to the skin against her belly, and I inhaled again. My fingers
reached up to briefly touch the quarter on its chain around her neck. I
had to pee pretty badly, but it wasn’t worth disconnecting myself from
her flesh, so I didn’t.
I don’t know how long I stayed that
way, eyes closed and just reveling in the sensations around me. At some
point, Lia’s fingers twitched, then slowly started massaging my head,
which caused me to moan out load.
Lia’s soft laugh filled my ears.
“You like that?”
“Mmmhmm,” I replied as I snuggled against her stomach and tightened my grip on her. “Feels good.”
She kept it up, slowly dragging her fingertips from the top of my head,
through my hair, and down to the back of my neck before she started all
over again.
“I could wake up like this every day,” I said.
“Me, too. You’re gonna have to let me up, though.”
“Why?” I protested. “I don’t want to.”
“I have to go to the bathroom!” Lia laughed.
“So do I.”
“Well, this time would be a lot worse of a wet spot than what I put up with last night, so you better move.”
