Will he love her or leave her?
Hello Book Hook fans.
I've been AWOL for a while, but today I'm sharing a snippet from my book Marriage, Mobsters, and the Marine.
I always fall in love with my heroes, but Jared -
ed, the former Marine sniper from Marriage Mobsters, and the Marine - holds a special place in my heart.
Abigail's too, and if ever she needed a hero, it's now.
Snippet
As she slipped on her coat, two men wearing black balaclavas burst through the door. She screamed, but everyone had left. No one heard. One man slapped her across her cheek. Her head shot back, and pain made her vision blur.
The man by the door glared at her through cold killer’s eyes. “Make another sound, and he’ll really hurt you.”
The one who’d hit her—the minion—shoved a gag in her mouth, pulled a hood over her head, and tied her hands behind her. Paralyzed by fear, she let him. As every second ticked off on the classroom clock, she prayed the police would drive by. Maybe the deputies thought she’d left for the night, but surely they’d see her car in the parking lot.
Abigail’s head hurt, her heart raced, and her stomach churned. She’d never been so scared in her life. When this happened for real, it wasn’t fun—nothing like evenings spent at the BDSM club.
One of them threw her over his shoulder and carried her out into the cool midwinter air. Abigail shuddered, more from fear than the cold. They locked her in the car trunk and drove off. Cramped, cold, and hurting, she worked at the rope around her wrists, trying to get her hands free. These men had to work for the mobsters who wanted her money, and they’d already tried to kill her once.

Abigail Montgomery, a small-town schoolteacher with zero self-confidence, longs for the loving family she never had.
Each month she attends a masked BDSM club, but her next visit will be her last. If she doesn’t marry within the next year, her military brother won’t inherit Montgomery Hall. Desperate, she advertises for a husband.
Jared Armstrong, a former Marine sharpshooter and occasional Dom, needs $125,000 to get his family out of a hole. His solution - to marry Abigail Montgomery for her money. His only regret is his wife won’t accept his spanking lifestyle.
Soon, Abigail dreams of making their marriage real, but she promised Jared a divorce two-years after their wedding. Can they share some Christmas magic as their relationship faces extortion threats, a kidnapping, and an attempted murder? Or will Jared walk away and break her heart?
