Exclusive Excerpt from Gatekeeper

by Charity Parkerson

Damn, Mateo hated when Sean left without saying goodbye. Two days in a row it had happened. Since he’d done it only three days out of the past month, Mateo tried letting it slide. Rolling to his side, Mateo snagged Sean’s pillow and held it to his chest. Sean’s scent lingered on the material. His eyes fell closed as he inhaled the sweet smell into his lungs. Mateo’s dick stirred. He tossed the pillow aside and grabbed his phone.   He couldn’t let it slide after all.

Mateo: You left without saying goodbye again.

Sean: I can’t help it. You were sleeping so peacefully. I couldn’t bring myself to wake you. Mateo: I’d rather see you than sleep. ** sigh** I take it you made it safely.

Sean: Yeah. I had another flat, but thankfully I just got that other tire fixed and the spare was in the trunk again.

Mateo wanted to break shit. Sean had the worst luck. He wanted to fix everything in Sean’s life, but the man had more pride than anyone he’d ever met.

Mateo: You should’ve called.

Sean: I took care of it. No worries.

Mateo: Yeah, yeah. I know you’re capable. That doesn’t mean I won’t worry.

Sean: Your concern matters. Continue reading →

Book Review: In the Shadows by Hailey Turner

Publisher: Hailey Turner
Release Date: August 23, 2017

Blurb: Take a chance.

Staff Sergeant Alexei Dvorkin doesn’t trust easily, and he most certainly doesn’t trust spies. He’ll work with them if ordered to, but that doesn’t mean he has to like it. Except Agent Sean Delaney is proving to be the exception to the rule. There’s something about Sean that gets under Alexei’s skin and won’t let go. Alexei would be lying if he said he wasn’t interested in what lay beneath the agent’s mask. When they’re assigned together for a mission, Alexei vows to keep Sean safe all while trying to coax the hot agent into his bed.

Hold onto hope.

Agent Sean Delaney has spent his entire adult life living a lie for his country. When the MDF tasks him with finding evidence of criminal wrong-doing against the owner of a private military company, Sean knows exactly how to play the game to get what he wants. He just doesn’t know how to handle Alexei’s advances, nor his own attraction to the younger soldier. Being a spy is lonely work, and Sean knows he should keep his distance, but saying no to Alexei is impossible from the moment they first kiss.

In a world of lies, the truth can be deadly.

When the mission takes a turn for the worse, the only thing left to do is run. In the wake of betrayal, and in the path of danger, can their fragile trust survive the battle?

His partner and boyfriend, Detective Andreas Ruffner, wants to help, but doesn’t know how. And with his own family crises brewing, Andreas is spread almost as thin as Darren.

For cops, though, life takes a backseat to the job. When a stack of unsolved homicides drops into their laps, Andreas and Darren think they’re unrelated cold cases. But when a connection surfaces, they find themselves on the tail of a prolific serial killer who’s about to strike again.

Except they’ve got nothing. No leads. No suspects. Just a pile of circumstantial evidence and a whole lot of hunches. Time is running out to stop the next murder—and to pull themselves back from their breaking points.
