Their chemistry was unmatched, and their romance was kinda insta-love but with a slow burn? I devoured it. He makes reassurances and promises but also proves that he’s all in for the long haul. He gives her space while still being in her presence. Even when she pushes him away, he stands his ground and doesn’t waver. There’s nothing sexier than watching Asa takes charge and protects with all his might. Not in an arrogant and controlling way that raises red flags, but he’s rather sweet going about it. He pretty much demands her into making a room in her life for him and his kids. I mean, he makes no bones about wanting Keelie in his life. That sounds too insta-love than I intended. The moment Asa comes into Keelie’s life, he claims permanent residence. Her crook of a husband died in an accident and left her with lots of unpaid debts and years of emotional baggage, turning her into a shell of a woman who pretends her way through life. Keelie (36) is the mom (and dad) of two young kids and works as a high school counselor. Now, he fills his days training those who will follow his footsteps and taking care of his two teenage children.

He worked for goverments all over the world in all sorts of ways that were on the hush-hush. Gifts was a killer! Had me on a chokehold from start to finish.Īsa (43) is a former contract assassin. You don’t need to know what’s in my head. That is, unless you’re my parents or my children. I’ll gladly welcome you back when you become a legit adult. If you’re not eighteen, consider yourself bounced and walk away from my books. Warning: Oh, I’m sorry, that’s a fake ID. With drug dealers lurking, bullets flying, and threats coming from every angle, Asa must do everything he can to protect the ones he loves.īecause in the end, there’s nothing more precious than the gift of life. He never dreams the troubles lurking in the hallways of the local high school would shake his family to its core. Little does he know, a chance meeting with a petite, strawberry-blonde stranded on the side of the road, would intertwine their lives in a way he’d never want to untangle.īut when school bullies turn into something much worse, Asa starts to dig around.

Working close to home after years away, he finally has the time to focus on his kids.

Saddled with a century-old dilapidated farmhouse she can’t afford, a bevy of goats, two dogs, and a geriatric donkey, the last thing she has time for is a man-even if that man is a knight whose shining armour comes in the form of worn-in jeans and work boots.Ĭontrolled, methodical, and focused-Asa Hollingsworth takes charge of everything in life. Taking on the role of both mom and dad to her two young kids, she’s managing life the best she can. No one would say Keelie Lockhart isn’t determined.
