INNOCENCE & BETRAYAL
Hidden Truths #2
Brittney Sahin
Releasing March 1st, 2016
Reserved biochemist Ava Daniels has
spent the last six months working on a top secret assignment for Homeland
Security. One morning, after a night of finally letting loose, she discovers
her lab empty and her boss missing. Interrogated by the very organization she
works for, followed by unknowns, and attacked, Ava finds herself in search of
answers as the clock winds down.
Aiden O’Connor, Irish born and
raised, attempted to put his past behind him when he opened a bar in the heart
of Boston. Until one night, when Ava Daniels shows up asking for help. She is
like no other woman he has ever met—breathtakingly beautiful, brilliant, and in
terrible danger. Once he learns the true nature of her problem, Aiden realizes
she is the key to unlock his past . . . and perhaps to get a second chance.
Innocence & Betrayal, Book 2 of
the Hidden Truths series, is a stand-alone novel that features appearances from
some of your favorite characters in Book 1: Silenced Memories.
“But
maybe I need the protection.” Ava swallowed as his eyes glinted at her.
Aiden
steadied a hand under her chin, tilting her head up to face him. “I have to be
honest. I don’t give a damn about Henry. I don’t know the man. But I don’t like
the idea of something happening to you.”
“And
why is that?” She couldn’t breathe. His mere presence had captured all the
oxygen in the room.
“Call
me crazy, but I’ve got a weakness for a damsel in distress.” There was a hint
of a smile in his eyes as his thumb brushed over her lips.
“Who
are you?” she whispered.
He
took a step back; his hand dropped. “I own the pub, you know.”
“And
before that?”
He
opened his mouth for a brief moment before snapping it closed. “You should get
some rest. We’ll brainstorm a plan in the morning.”
She
looked down at the bed and back at Aiden. “Um.”
“No
worries, love. I’ve got the couch.”
The
hideous blue couch beneath the window didn’t look comfortable at all, but she
didn’t argue, because she knew she’d never be able to sleep if they shared the
same bed. “I wish I had some clothes.” She pressed her hand against the side of
her jeans. Her thighs ached from being constricted all day.
Her
eyes widened as Aiden removed his white T-shirt from over his head.
“It’s
long enough to cover your arse. And more comfortable than your jeans, I’m
sure.”
Ava’s
gaze was glued to his hard, rippling flesh, no matter how much she knew she
should look away. The memory of his body, fighting at the gym, flashed into her
mind, and she finally pulled her eyes up to meet his. Without realizing it, her
fingers reached to touch the scar on his brow. “Is that from boxing?”
His
hand caught her wrist and he removed her touch. “Something like that. Now get
some shut eye.”
“What
will you sleep in?” she asked before heading to the bathroom to change. He’d
already seen her in her “knickers,” as he would call them, but that didn’t mean
she was going to parade around nude.
“Boxers,
if that’s okay? But I’ll wait ’til the lights are out to drop my pants.”
She
turned around to find a smirk on his lips and a twinkle in his eyes; no doubt
connected to a mischievous thought. “I think it’s only fair that I get to see
you undressed, since you’ve seen me basically naked.” Where had that come from?
Had her twin sister just leaped inside her head and taken control?
“I
don’t exactly play fair.” Aiden quirked an eyebrow.
A
genuine smile on her own lips caught her off guard. And then she shut the
bathroom door.
Hidden Truths is a new romantic
suspense series, which features ex-Marines in these stand-alone novels--no
cliffhangers. To avoid spoilers though, it is recommended that the books be
read in order, as characters make cameo appearances in other novels. Each book
in the series is riddled with mystery and romance, as lies and corruption are
unraveled to reveal the truth.
