Secret Maneuvers
(Ex Ops #1)
Synopsis:
Some mistakes from the past haunt us forever… unless fate
steps in with a second chance.
One
‘Dear John’ letter haunted Bobby Baker’s every living moment. It was the letter
he’d stupidly written to his high school sweetheart, Belle, right after he had
left to join the Army. The letter in which he’d told her that he wasn’t so sure
they were ready for forever yet. Before he could let her know that the letter, and
his second thoughts, were nothing more than a mistake, she disappeared from the
small Georgia town they had both been raised in.
Fifteen
years after the letter, Belle unknowingly walked back into Bobby’s life when
her job as an ATF Agent forced her to work with a group of men secretly headed
by the CIA to help her track down whoever was involved in funneling black
market weapons to a drug cartel in Mexico.
Bobby
planned to use this mission to try to soothe Belle’s hurt feelings while
proving to her that their love was meant to be forever. He would use every
dirty trick he’d learned since he had joined the Army to maneuver her back into
his life for the long haul. Belle was not making it easy, though, as she
continued to keep him at arm’s length in the hopes that mistakes of her own
would never come to light.

Excerpt:
Planting my hands on my hips, I growled, “You trying to tell
me that you haven’t been playing some kind of game? You disappear for fifteen
years without so much as a clue to where you’re headed, then waltz back into my
life and try to pretend I don’t exist? You don’t have the kind of love we had,
Belle. Hell, you don’t have a man like me—who’s had his mouth on you, his cock
in you—and then pretend like he doesn’t exist. Now, I’m telling you, I’m tired
of this game and I’m tired of fucking waiting for you to give me a second of
your time so that we can talk about this shit.”
Throwing her hands up in the air, she stumbled backwards a
few steps and then screeched, “There’s nothing to talk about, Bobby! Besides, I
didn't have the man's mouth and cock. I had the boy's. There's a difference. A
man, a real man that is, keeps his
promises. Like the ones he made to come back. A boy hasn't grown up enough to
realize how important promises are to keep.”
