Blurb/Synopsis:
Bayleigh Morrow just wants to hide from the world for a little while, recover from all the knocks she’s been taking lately. What better place than small-town Texas, where she can reconnect with her brother, meet her new sister-in-law, and just be left alone?
Jack Williams has no intention of ever falling in love
again. One betrayal was enough for
him. But when Bayleigh almost collapses
in his office, he’s determined to help her and keep her safe.
Stranded by an ice storm, Jack is the only one there to pick
up the pieces when she has a panic attack.
Sparks begin to fly and flames ignite as these two love-wary souls find
their way out of the darkness and learn to breathe again.
He stroked her back with his left hand, his right hand
resting beneath her rib cage. He wanted
her closer, wanted to feel her against him. Her hands clenched against his
chest. Damn, she’s reached her limit.
Prepared to stop, she surprised him by pulling him in closer, her hands
now fisted in his shirt. He stroked her
tongue with his, retreating, pushing in…a dance as old as time. And she responded to each movement. Against the hand on her ribs, he could feel
her heart as it raced and his own pulse sped up. She moaned, or was that him? Hell if he knew, or even cared at this point.
He needed to put the brakes on now, before he did something
stupid, like sweep everything off the desk and lay her down. That image should not be in his mind. He broke off the kiss, resting his forehead
on hers. Her breathing was ragged, but
it didn’t have that wheeze it would get with her panic attacks. His hands rubbed over her back in soothing
strokes, enjoying the moment of holding her in his arms. The occasional car drove by outside, and the
ornate clock on the wall ticked, the sound loud and obnoxious in the near
silence of the outer office. It was just
the two of them for now. He simply held
her and waited. Her hands relaxed and he
moved his head so he could see her face.
Kelli grew up all over the East Coast but her
family finally settled in Cincinnati long enough for her to finish high school
and college. She has always loved to read books and write her own
stories. In high school, she used to
pass around the latest chapter of the story she was writing for her friends to
read. There is more than one high school
teacher out there that can probably remember telling her to put the book down
and pay attention to the lectures.
Graduating from the University of Cincinnati with her BS in Nursing, she left Ohio for Texas and the U.S. Army. She received a medical discharge for a knee injury, but was able to meet the man she'd one day call her husband first--thanks to some mutual friends who insisted they would perfect together. And what do you know--they are!

She continued to read books
by the dozens and write her own stories.
And then one day, a friend dared her to enter a contest. She didn’t win, but the feedback she received
from the judges convinced her that maybe people were interested in the stories
she wanted to tell.
She still lives in Central Texas, with her husband, two children and 2 dogs.
