No one knows how a solitary lie has
the power to rip a heart to pieces. For ten years Ailyn Dominguez has lived
with a constant reminder of heartbreak that left her devastated and pregnant.
While nothing gives her more pleasure than being a mother, the lie she lives
weighs her down like a ball and chain. Even if she knew where to look, her
deceit could cost her everything she holds dear.
Responsibility for others has always
rested on Seth Mahone. Every day he gears up to protect and serve, leads his
men and finds fulfillment in doing his best. With one friend settled down, he
reevaluates his life and the price he paid when the one woman he loved
disappeared, leaving a void in his life. Regretting what caused their split, he
hasn’t fully let go or found another to take her place.
When the past collides with the
present both must confront the deception that split them apart.

Deception Excerpt:
Seth. Seth. Seth. Ailyn did an
engine search of his name and spent the next hour scouring every link he
appeared in. When she came across a picture of him and a date at last’s years
annual award party, his striking looks in dress Class A Uniform stole her
breath away. The date on his arms in a slinky barely there dress caused a fit
of jealousy to course through her. From her perfectly placed wavy tresses, to
her curvaceous body, long slender legs and pretty feet showcasing her Louboutin
heels. It wasn’t the dress or the shoes that caused the angry wave of envy.
Though no one should look so damn sexy without appearing trampy. The body
language is what had her teeth on edge. The way he stood, how she hugged his
waist showed they were intimate. He made love to that woman with those green
eyes of his, leaving her fuming, wanting to claw the bitch’s eyes out.
Taking a breath she tried to read
the next but couldn’t get the image of him with the gorgeous brunette out of
her mind. Was he still dating her? The thought caused her stomach to roll with
nausea. She closed the window, tucked her tablet under her arm, edged her way
back to the counter, and ordered another latte and egg and ham on a bagel with
provolone cheese. She’d cooled off a tad by the time she’d returned to her seat
and propped up her tablet to stare at the black screen.
I
will not stalk him online. I will not stalk him online. I will stalk him
online.
She bit into her sandwich and went
back to the page with her search. Lt. Seth Mahone receives a Valor award from
the state representative and a representative from their U.S. district
congressman. The same woman stood next to him with a dazzling smile on her
face. Seething with mistrust and hurt she whipped out her cell phone and sent a
rapid text.
I
thought you told me you were single. What was today about? A journey to the
past?
I
am single. What are you pissed off about this time?
Really?
Doesn’t look that way to me. Pictures don’t lie.
I
have work to do, Ailyn. If you’re going to be cryptic, I don’t have time to
deal with you.
Cryptic.
You are all over the newspapers with the same woman at every event. If you’re
married, I’m going to sever your balls from your body and shove them down your
throat. Is that clear enough?
She stared at the screen forever and
blew out a frustrated breath. Men who were the epitome of sex on a stick only
broke hearts in the end. The crushing jealousy grew exponentially in the
absence of his next response. She didn’t have long to wait. An incoming call
flashed across her screen.
“Darlin’, I don’t even know where to
begin to approach this. Christ woman, you’re giving me a migraine over nothing.
First, I haven’t seen you in ten years. Second, earlier you made yourself loud
and clear on where I fit in your life. My past is not your concern. Who I’ve
dated or who I’ve fucked after you is also none of your concern, unless we’re
heading to the clinic for tests so we can fuck bareback.”
“You’re right your private affairs
are not my concern. I don’t know what’s come over me.” She ignored the latter
part of his reply.
“I knew you weren’t unaffected even
though you pretended to be. For the record, if I saw you with another man all
dressed up, I’d want to bash his head in too. Alyssa was a longtime lover I let
loose when she kept hinting about marriage.” Dead air passed between them.
“Oh,” Ailyn mustered up.
“Are my balls safe now? I rather
like them where they are.” His voice lost the hard edge of steel.
“Yes, of course.” Mortification
surged within her. She poised her finger to hang up when his voice stopped her.
“No need to be embarrassed. Finding
our way back to one another is going to be one hell of a ride.”
“Seth, don’t look too much into
this.” Now he for sure knew she had online stalked him. She finished off her
latte and swallowed down the rest of her sandwich.
“Whatever helps you sleep better at
night darlin’. I gotta go, I’ll call you tonight.” He disconnected the call.
