My Favorite Gift
Sarah J. Brooks - 2019
I want my wife and our unborn child back. I used to spend my days getting clients out of prison and women into my bedroom. But when I met Quinn, everything changed. The moment I saw this breathtaking beauty with angel’s eyes and a smile that makes you melt, I knew we were meant to be. When I introduced her to my family this X-Mas, she was in shock. Well, seems like a primary school teacher from a small town isn’t used to having dinner with billionaires. But that’s exactly why I love her: Her down-to-earth and lighthearted ways show me what’s really important in life. But now I’m about to lose everything. One of my former clients got out of prison. He still blames me for his conviction and he’s out for revenge. That’s why he kidnapped Quinn. And according to the pregnancy test I found, not only her… but also the gift that’s growing inside of her. To get her free, I need to fulfill his demand: He doesn’t want my money. He wants my life. I must kill myself to save Quinn and our baby. I guess we need a X-Mas miracle. The clock is ticking. "My Favorite Gift" is a full length standalone romance with no cheating and no cliffhangers, but with a gorgeous protective alpha male, plenty of steam and a guaranteed HEA. I've also included a preview of my romance novel "Beautiful Mistake" for you. Happy reading & Merry X-Mas! - Sarah J. Brooks (USA Today Bestselling Author)
