About the Book
The one night she'll want to remember, she'll be forced to
forget.
It's been almost a year since Celine's fiancé's death and
she's still struggling to move on. But when she meets Thane, the super hot lead
singer of Thane’s Redemption, she finds her desire reawakening, and her heart
opening. Soon one kiss leads them straight into a night of heated passion…
Thane’s unexpected connection with Celine only leaves him
wanting more of her—but his life makes it impossible. For Thane's Redemption is
just a cover for a deeper secret: A former Army Ranger presumed dead, Thane is
really a time-traveling, covert operative charged with saving the world from
disaster. Each jump through time forces those around him to forget he ever
existed—and Celine would be no exception. But can time work in their favor to
give them a second chance at love? Or will a choice Thane makes in the future
put Celine in mortal danger?

Excerpt
“Let’s go.”
Flutters swirled in her stomach as she hurried down the main
corridor with him. No way was she escaping now.
He drew her close, and a weightless feeling, as if she sped
down the hill of a giant roller coaster, rushed through her. Surprised, she
stumbled into his chest.
“You’re all right. I’ve got you.” He kissed her temple.
She caught her breath as the light golden haze clouding her
vision cleared. Moving out of his embrace, she stared at the main floor of the
lounge. Either she’d lost her tolerance for the good stuff, or the bartenders
were generous with the rum. How had they gotten there so fast?
Why didn’t she remember walking past those women in the
hallway?
He squeezed her hand. “The song’s about to end. Come on.”
Channeling Lauren, she held her head high and kept her eyes
trained on his back. As they moved closer to the stage, the keyboardist
signaled the band. The tempo picked up. Sound vibrated over her skin, and her
heartbeat matched the timing of the music.
Lauren spotted them and nudged Ari. The dark haired woman
did a double take and her mouth fell open.
After what felt like the longest walk of her life, they reached
the table. Celine sat down, and Thane stole a kiss.
As he moved away, he gave her a wink and panty-dropping
smile. “Enjoy the show.”
Thankfully, somebody had ordered her another mangotini.
Celine sipped and acknowledged Lauren and Ari’s questioning looks with a shrug.
Good thing the loud music kept them from asking questions. She couldn’t explain
what had happened if she tried.
Thane jumped on stage and grabbed a microphone. He blended
into a song driven by the keyboards and a fierce drumbeat. By the end of the
song, worries about what their encounter did or didn’t mean slipped into the
music. The eye candy on stage and the raw, lyrical power of his voice pulled
her into the moment. Letting go of her inhibitions, she cheered and chair
danced with her friends to the rock and blues-inspired tracks.
An hour into the set, he conferred with the band, and the
bassist handed him an acoustic guitar. He put a stool center stage behind one
of the microphones and sat down. “What I’m going to perform now is a song I
wrote a few months ago. No one’s heard it yet, but because you’re such a
special audience, I’d like to play it for you.” His gaze found hers. “I hope
you like it.”
He strummed the first chords, and the flamenco, rumba-styled
rhythm brought up images of slow breezes and sultry nights. His voice flowed
smoothly into the melody, and her heart squeezed.
Stay with me…lay your troubles down…let me set you free…
His singing inspired an erotic fantasy of her legs
intertwined with his. Of gliding her hands over the hard ripples and valleys of
muscle she’d felt holding onto him. Of her kissing him, and Thane devouring
those kisses right back. The invisible touch of his words whispered over her
skin. Every pulse beat, including the one between her thighs, magnified. She
shifted in her seat, trying to quiet the steady throb as liquid heat spread low
in her middle.
Ari playfully shoved her arm.
With a backdrop of thundering applause, she met Thane’s
gaze. His desire matched her own. The band started to play another song, and he
looked away. She exhaled a shaky breath and downed the rest of her drink.
A server stopped by their table and placed an envelope next
to her arm. “Lucky girl, these are for you.”
