About this ebook

A heartbroken heartthrob. A fugitive fiance. Sparks fly when Julia flees...right into Colton.

He had me at hello. Months later, I’m fleeing the state with an engagement ring on my finger. John isn’t the one. What looks good on paper is ugly behind closed doors. My sister Liz doesn’t know about John, but she takes me in, with problems of her own. The night I help tend bar with Liz is when I meet Colton. Liz warns me about him. Says that he’s a hardened man. And he looks it, too. With his smouldering eyes and square shoulders, he’s a force to be reckoned with. But he notices me looking over my shoulder and teaches me a thing or two about men like John, and not in a way that I would expect.

***

Afghanistan changes a man in a way that nothing else can. Betrayal does the same. Mix the two and you get me. It’s like I wear a badge, marking my military background, and then they find out that I’m a Ford boy and suddenly I’m a piece of meat with dollar signs. But they can all drop dead, because a woman is the last thing that I want. I bounce at a bar strictly to protect my little brother. He plays in a band in this seedy joint, and I’m here to keep his nose clean in more ways than one. But then Liz brings her little sister Julia in one night to cover, and I realize that I’m not the only one with a sibling looking over their shoulder.

A suspenseful, steamy romance, with loads of family drama, 'Proceed with Caution' has feel-good elements with heart-stopping, page-turning twists and angst.

    ONE MAGNIFICENT WHIRLWIND!!!
    Fantastic! Sandra doesn't disappoint, nor fail to bring everything she has to share, showcasing this spectacular piece of perfection, laying it out with immense talent, ingenuity, style, fervor, vivid imagination and unique insight for detail. Cognizant of the instant realization and charged atmosphere, along with a bevy of astonishing twists and shocking turns, testing our characters in ways they could have never envisioned. Anarchy, escapades and havoc run amuck, kicking this gem into a roaring tempest, blasting it into a frenzy with a life-altering denouement. Sparks fly as drama, intrigue, misgivings, accusations, turmoil, secrets, peril, mounting suspense and precarious situations along with a boatload of chaos while dodging calamity, you have one prize winning masterpiece. A surging vortex of fervent events and distressing circumstances, blow this bad boy wide open. The attraction and chemistry sizzles, alluring and mesmerizing, binding them to one another beautifully. The dynamics and countenance in layer upon layer that you peel back with each page your drawn into this web so deep until everything else ceases to exist. The characters are complex and authentic with depth and traits that blend and flow smoothly transforming into genuinely relatable personalities. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and descriptions creating a colorful backdrop that makes the storyline pop. Remarkable job Sandra, thanks for sharing this little treasure with us.
