Cross My Heart (Sandpiper Cove #2)

Real, instinctive love is rare. It calms the soul while setting the body aflame. It seeps into your bones until life without it is impossible. And it shows up every day, without fail… even when you think you’re not ready. Especially when you think you’re not worthy.

Quinn Beckett has spent most of her life looking out for herself. With no family to speak of, she’s used to being on her own. The one time she let her guard down, she found herself in an abusive relationship that nearly cost her everything.

To put some distance between herself and her ex, Quinn spends the summer with her best friend in Sandpiper Cove. She hopes the space will help her rediscover the independent, confident woman she lost over the past couple of years. Her stay was supposed to be temporary. Until him.

Colin Sullivan might believe soul mates exist, just not for him. He enjoys his days working as a detective, and there’s never a shortage of beautiful women to keep his bed warm at night. No strings. No feelings. No broken hearts. Just the way he likes it. Until her.

What started off as an attraction ignites into a passion that brings them both to their knees.

With the threats from her ex continuing to escalate, Colin will stop at nothing to keep Quinn safe. Even if it forces him to put his career, and his heart, on the line.
