Excerpt:
Wounded Hearts
Brandon lay in bed reliving the
gentle touch of Sarah's lips against his. The kiss was such a
surprise, and over before he
realized her intentions. Could someone like her really care for him? His heart pounded in his rib cage,
and hurt and longing clogged his throat. Tears pricked his eyes, and he closed them.
He slept in the nude, so it wasn't
hard for him to take inventory of the scars on his body with his hands. He didn't need to see them.
He knew them by heart, but allowed his palm to roam over them for the millionth time. His
torso was puckered and lumpy from the burns. They traveled down his torso to just below his
navel. Fortunately the flames hadn't reached his genitals, and he was able to function sexually.
Not that he'd had an opportunity for a test run, but seeing Sarah, being close to her, breathing
in her special scent had made his trousers uncomfortable on more than one occasion.
The burns covered his shoulders,
arms, and parts of his back. And then there was his face.
It had not been spared. His helmet
had protected most of his head and somehow his eyes
hadn't been damaged. Considering how
bad the damage could have been, he was a lucky
son-of-a-gun. But he wasn't what
Sarah needed. She deserved a man without scars, physical or emotional. She was projecting her
feelings for Logan onto him. That wouldn't do, for either of them. What if they married and
she decided later she couldn't live with his scars? He shuddered. No, he'd never take that
chance.
