Silent Love (The Love Series-Book 1)
blurb:
Former Navy SEAL
Sean Millen has been perfectly fine with his bachelorhood until
recently, when he realizes he's unhappy with his single status.
Unfortunately, his playboy reputation doesn't offer him the type of
woman that could fulfill his days and nights as well as settle into
the specific life he envisions.
Four years ago,
Beth Connors' world was entirely altered. Beth spends her days trying
to remain invisible in order to avoid unwanted attention. Each night
she sheds grief-filled tears over the former life she once led but
will never be able to regain.
When Beth
literally runs into him.
Doctor Sean Millen. A force of nature. A rock. A reputable
heartbreaker, who takes an immediate interest in her, there's no
place for her to hide. But Beth's natural instinct to push Sean away
to save herself and him from the difficult task of adjusting their
lives to her shortcomings is always front and center. Yet, Beth
secretly longs for love. Is she strong enough to tear down the walls
of her self-imposed prison?
Sean finds
himself falling for a woman who is determined to reject his every
advance and deny their surprisingly deep connection. Can Sean push
past Beth's concrete walls that she refuses to destroy? Or will
Beth's shocking revelation of her past prevent them from finding the
love they both deserve? Or will a tragic accident pull Sean and Beth
apart permanently
~ Excerpt ~
Seated
at her desk, Beth pulled up the notes on the patient whose bill was
in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Medicare was auditing the
chart, and she had to make certain all the i's were dotted and t's
were crossed before the paperwork left the office. About to plunge
into the work, a large figure loomed behind her. She'd seen his
shadow step into the background of her dark computer screen.
Heart
fluttering with nervous excitement, he returned despite her
objections.
A
gentle hand landed on her shoulder. Spinning in her chair, Sean stood
behind her with a giant grin donning those devastatingly handsome
features. Gawd, he should be a model for SEALs 'R Us.
"Hi,"
he said.
"Hi."
"Lunch
today?" he asked.
She
nodded. There was no way she could turn him down. After he left her
house last night, all she did was think of him late into the early
morning hours. Thoughts of a potential future toyed with her. There'd
been a time in her life when she defined herself by the man who held
her heart. That changed a long time ago when she'd needed the support
of her boyfriend the most, but he checked out. Disappeared. He'd left
her at her most dire time.
"Good,"
he said. Reaching into his lab coat pocket, he pulled out a small
white box tied with white string. "This is for after lunch."
He leaned down and kissed the top of her head. "I'll come and
get you at noon." He sauntered off before she could argue she'd
rather eat lunch a half an hour earlier.
After
she'd watched him until he was out of sight, she spun back to her
work but eyed the small box. She'd never been a patient girl when it
came to gifts. Many Christmases her parents spent coming up with new
hiding places for her presents.
Beth
pulled her scissors out of the desk drawer and snipped off the
string. She unfolded the lid and gasped. A tiny chocolate cake with
fudge icing sat picture perfect inside the white box. Tears formed in
her eyes. That simple pastry was the most thoughtful gift she'd ever
received from a man.
