Just in case that first teaser – the prologue – wasn’t enough, here’s more from my latest Shadows of Justice novel, Veil of Justice:
Nathan Burkhardt dropped from the delectable dream with a resounding thud. How could she? He knew she’d been enjoying it as much as he. He knew it because he’d been right there in her head with her. So why shove him out and away when they’d been on the brink of something so unprecedented and stunning he wasn’t sure they’d ever get it back.
He growled and rolled over to stare at the smooth gray wall of his cell. Knowing the volatility of his imprisoned life, he couldn’t believe she’d left him. She was smart. Smart enough to understand every moment they had might be the last.
“Wax poetic much?” he muttered, pitching his voice too low to be overheard by the guards – human or electronic.
She might’ve broken their unique contact because she’d been scared. He’d sensed her innocence moments before she vanished.
He ached for her more knowing that detail. She’d been ready for him. Just for him. Then she’d just been gone. It must be fear.
Calming down a bit, Nathan reached out across space, looking for the woman who kept him sane in this hell-hole, but she was completely unavailable, as if she’d never existed at all. No. It couldn’t be illusion. He was not losing his mind to the circumstance. He searched again and again came up empty.
He wanted to pound his fists into the wall, to pound out his frustration with her, this damned mission, and life in general. Doing so would only rouse his cell mate and the guards. That combination was as likely to kill him tonight as a wrong glance between inmates over tomorrow’s breakfast.
