Title: His Salvation
Author: Michelle Bellon
Genre: Romance Suspense
Blurb:
Ten years have passed since that hot July night, when Seth
McCullough walked away from Krista Chancellor, his high school sweetheart;
determined to keep his dark, tumultuous past from tainting her beautiful light.
He thought he had buried his demons forever when he cut ties and joined the
military, but when he begins to suffer debilitating headaches, displacement of
time, and horrifying nightmares, he starts to fear for his sanity. Desperate
for relief and seeking solace, he takes off for Mexico only to awake one
morning confused, bloody, and linked to multiple high profile murders.
Suspicion grows as he realizes he is submerged in an agenda too terrifying to
comprehend. Determined to find answers, Seth reaches out to the only person he
has ever trusted, his old flame Krista, and together they find His Salvation.
Excerpt:
Seth noticed Krista's shoulders were extremely pink
from the full day’s worth of sun exposure.
“Dang, Kris, your shoulders got burnt today. You’re
going to be sore tonight,” he commented. He had dark, olive-toned skin which
tanned nicely, but Krista burned if she wasn’t careful. He had reminded her to
lather on the sun block that morning, but it was only SPF 5. He had bitten his
tongue to keep from chastising her.
Now he saw her skin looking angrier by the minute and
grimaced, knowing she was going to be miserable by nighttime.
Krista looked down her nose at her left shoulder and
gave a shrug, “Oh, well. I have some aloe stuff my mom bought me. I think I
might have it here in my bag.” She reached into the bag she had plopped down
next to her, and eventually pulled out a small bottle of aloe.
“Can you rub this onto my shoulders for me?” Without
waiting for an answer, Krista swung her right leg over the side of the tree so
she straddled it with her back to Seth, giving him access to both shoulders.
Seth, used to her bossiness, squirted some of the gel
into his palm and began to delicately rub it into her skin.
“Oooh, ouch. You’re right. It’s already starting to
hurt.” Krista winced.
Seth felt the cool gel warm up under his fingers
against on her hot skin. Krista glanced back over her shoulder and for a quick
second, locked with Seth’s intense gray gaze.
Seth stopped rubbing the aloe into her skin as
something between them vibrated, humming so loud it seemed to fill the silence
of the woods surrounding them. Krista leaned back into Seth’s chest, reached
her left arm behind his head and pulled him to her, operating on instinct
rather than organized thoughts.
Within seconds, Seth had his arms filled with
beautiful, soft, Krista. Her fingers tangled in his hair at the nape of his
neck and their lips met in a long awaited union. He was no longer capable of
calling to memory why he believed he should be avoiding such an encounter with
her. All he could do was feel.
It felt natural, when she leaned back against him, to
wrap his arms around her and pull her closer. When she pulled his face toward
his, it seemed as if he had made the journey a thousand times. There was
nothing awkward or out of place, as he had wondered about. The moment his mouth
met hers, she invited him in with a gentle parting of her lips, flicking her
tongue over his. A hunger within him was unleashed and he ran his own fingers
up into her hair at the base of her skull, cupping her head, tipping it back
gently to take the kiss further, deeper.
The world stopped, tilted, and reversed rotation.
There would be no going back. This was an irreversible revelation.
