Synopsis

A standalone novel in the Sons of War contemporary military romance series …

Petr’s life changed overnight when an ambush not only killed his twin, but left him wounded beyond repair as well. Tormented by that night, he struggles to put his life back together and to find purpose in the support role his injury forces him to take. Yet his heart and soul ache to be with his buddies at war, and nothing seems soothe the hole inside him.

Until he meets Claudia, the sister of a troubled boy Petr meets during a recruitment trip to a local school. Claudia’s got her own demon in the form of an abusive ex-boyfriend who won’t stop stalking her. She’s weary of starting over in a new place every month and working to make ends meet to support her younger brother, who she fears has fallen in with the wrong crowd despite her best efforts to help him.

Unable to reconcile his own feelings about what happened to him, Petr’s protective instinct nonetheless makes him want to reach out to her.

Can a man who views himself as broken and a woman unable to trust help each other heal?

*** Rinny Rambles *** Top ten books of 2014

So 2014 was a fab bookie year for me Kimmy and I started this blog :) and it has grown into something i thought would take a lot longer. We have met some fab people on our journey thank you too all fellow readers, authors and publishers. 2014 was also the first year i set myself a reading goal and kept track of the number of books iI read. I made my goal of 60 new years eve lol although  think it was a year of less reading for me. I have set myself a modest goal of 20 books for 2015 as I am returning to education after ten years :) Yay go me. Due to serious long term health issues i am studying from home so it's going to be hard and busy this year.

I thought since it's the new year I would do a top ten list of my Fave reads from last year. It was near impossible keeping it too just ten .............

I hope everyone has a wonderful 2015 filled with love, joy, happiness and lots of books.

Rinny :)

About SEMPER MINE

“A freak accident landed both of the Khavalov twins under my command, just before a routine mission turned into a nightmare. I brought home one twin in a coffin and the other in a coma missing his leg. I did everything right – and still people died. I can’t forget that night or how many lives it changed, including mine.

It’s natural for their sister, Katya, to blame me. I made one decision in the middle of a firefight, and it shattered her sheltered world. I’m the ice to her fire, and when we first meet, it’s not pretty. I don’t fear war or death, and I am definitely not going to let a beautiful woman with a quick temper and broken heart scare me off, either. I know she’s hurting, and I’m determined to make sure she’s okay. It’s the least I can do for the twins.

I may have failed them that night, but I won’t fail her. What I’m not counting on: the feelings she ignites within me.” – Captain Sawyer Mathis

Also in the Sons of War series: SOLDIER MINE, coming fall 2014!

Excerpt 5: Night Terrors

Some time later, I wrench out of deep sleep, alarmed. Lightning lights up the pup tent as

bright as day. The smash of thunder immediately follows, strong enough to make the ground

shake. My heart is flying, my adrenaline racing through my blood.

But it’s not the storm that woke me.

Captain Mathis is thrashing, struggling in the sleeping bag, mumbling names and

shouting words I can’t understand. He managed to roll over me, and the sensation of being

temporarily unable to breathe is what scared me out of sleep.

Night terrors. Like Petr used to get.

I prop myself up on my arm, twisted up in the sleeping bag with him. Our legs are

tangled, and I’m lying half on top of him.

“Hey,” I whisper, resting a hand on his arm. “Wake up, Sawyer.”

He calms at my touch without waking. His head goes back and forth, and I recall what

Petr told me about the dreams. He said it was like being trapped in a nightmare that was too

real, one based on something terrible that happened. For him, he wasn’t able to get past the

night Mikael died. Over and over, he watched our brother die, every night for weeks.

66

I can’t think about it without wanting to cry and focus on Captain Mathis. The night

terrors scare me, remind me how deep the unseen wounds of battle really run. Petr’s body is

almost healed, but I have a feeling he’s still having bad dreams.

“You’re safe, Sawyer,” I say. “Wake up. It’s okay - you’re safe.”

They’re the same words I used to repeat to Petr every night when his screams awoke me.

I rest a hand on Captain Mathis’ forehead and murmur to him over and over, knowing

that eventually, he’ll snap out of it. His body is trembling, his brow clammy. I take

everything in, not sure why it bothers me so much to see him like this. It doesn’t seem like

anything affects Iceman.

He wrenches awake and sits. My hand drops, and I sit with him the best I can, one of my

legs caught between his.

“You’re safe, Sawyer,” I say again. I reach for him instinctively, wanting to help him the

way I did Petr.

He pulls away.

I do it again, though, accustomed to this reaction from Petr. He used to tell me he didn’t

always know where he was when he woke up and me speaking to him helped him realize he

wasn’t in the middle of the battle anymore. Gently, I clasp my hands loosely around Sawyer’s

upper body the best I can at the awkward angle and lean into him, resting my head on his

shoulder while tugging him towards me. I’m still murmuring, waiting for him to register

where he is once more.

There’s a hesitation before his arms wrap around me, and he buries his face into the nape

of my neck. He’s stronger than Petr was those first few weeks, his muscular arms pinning me

against him. I relax into him, understanding what he needs right now. My voice helps, but

it’s my body that grounds him in reality. He’s hanging on like he’s afraid to fall again into the

dream world.

His breathing is ragged, his skin covered in a sheen of sweat. His body trembles in my

arms. It alarms me, a stark reminder that he was in the same firefight that killed one of my

brothers and injured another. I want so bad to forget, to blame the cold man who let my

brothers get hurt.

Any other time, I can. Right now, it’s impossible to remain angry with him, when I’m

starting to realize that he’s as broken inside as Petr was. He simply hides it better.

“You’re safe.”

He rests his cheek against mine, his breathing growing steadier and the quaking

gradually receding. I hold him and wait, uncertain what is stronger within me: remembering

the pain I experienced seeing Petr like this or the desire spiraling through me at the feel of

our bodies pressed together.
