Sienna Crenshaw knows
the rules: 1) no time traveling beyond your natural lifetime, 2) no screwing
with death, and 3) no changing the past. Ever. Sienna doesn’t love being stuck
in the present, but she’s not the type to break the rules. That is, she wasn’t
the type until her best friend broke every one of those rules to keep Henry,
her twin brother and Sienna’s ex-boyfriend, alive.
Suddenly, Sienna is
caught in an unfamiliar reality. The upside? Henry is still alive. The
downside? Sienna’s old life, including the people in it, has been erased. Now,
Sienna and Henry must untangle the giant knot in time, or her parents and all
the rest of the Travelers, will be lost forever. One problem: the only way to
be successful is for Henry to die.
I’ve never been a big
fan of talking about myself, but if you really want to know, here are some
random tidbits about me:
>I'm a California
girl. This generally means I talk too fast and use "like" a lot.
Since I now live in Montana, sometimes this is a problem.
>I have my doctorate
in molecular anthropology. Translation: I sequence dead people's DNA and spend
a whole lot of time in a lab, which I love.
>I've been writing since
I was 11 years old. It's my hobby, my passion, and I'm so happy to get to share
my work!
>My other passion is
teaching. There's nothing more fun than getting a classroom of college kids
fired up about anthropology! This is probably a good thing, since my day job
requires me to teach at the local university.
>If I could have a
super-power, it would totally be flying. Which is a little strange, because I'm
terrified of heights.

Beckett was a wrung-out mess. He’d just spent the past hour talking to Emilie, and it was maybe more than he’d talked at one time in his whole life. He couldn’t exactly say he felt good, and maybe not even better, but he could say that he was a little proud of himself for facing his past. Didn’t matter that dealing with that shit was as comfortable as swallowing crushed glass, because choking it down was the only way he’d have a chance at a future.
At least, a future that he really, truly wanted.
One where he wasn’t alone. One where he wasn’t angry. One where he wasn’t wasting the time he might have left on this earth—time his seven fallen teammates no longer had.
Jogging down the stairs from the third-floor apartment, Beckett headed to the gym. No matter how trashed he felt, he had one more conversation that absolutely had to happen tonight.
With Nick. About Kat.
Beckett had seen the all-knowing looks on Marz’s and Jeremy’s faces when he and Kat joined the all-hands’ meeting earlier in the evening. If he didn’t go to Nick soon, the guy was going to learn about them some other way. And then the hell was going to be even worse to pay. And Beckett didn’t want that to happen. Not just because he didn’t want the hassle. But because he owed it to Nick—as his friend and his brother—to come clean.
Didn’t mean that his gut wasn’t all twisted up about whether Nick would think him good enough for his baby sister, though.
He reached the gym door, took a deep breath, and punched in the pass code. Man up, Murda. Right.
Inside, things were hopping, despite the fact that it was pushing eleven o’clock. Some Ravens were lifting weights. Others were shooting the shit around the table. And two guys were tossing a ball back and forth, driving Eileen crazy by bouncing it over her head. Easy was pounding out a fast pace on the treadmill. And, in the back corner, Nick, Marz, and Shane were poring over something on Marz’s desk.
Beckett had faced down terrorists who wanted nothing more than to take his life with their very hands, and he’d probably never been as nervous as he was right now. For fuck’s sake.
He moved into the room. About midway across he spied Cy peeking out from behind a weight machine. “You and me are gonna have a talk soon, too,” he said, pointing at the cat. A one-eyed blink was his only answer.
And then he was standing on the far side of Marz’s desk next to Shane, peering down at what the three men were examining.
Marz gave him a smile and tapped his finger against the pages. “Just going over all these instances when Merritt noted Kaine as having changed orders regarding counter narcotics missions.”
“Marz was right,” Nick said, looking up at him. “Some of these gave me a bad feeling in my gut at the time, because they seemed out of character for Merritt. He was never a last minute kinda guy. Every damn time he’s marked those changes as having been ordered by Kaine.”
Beckett nodded. And then his mouth acted without his brain’s permission. “I’d like to date your sister.”
About HARD TO LET GO:
Beckett Murda hates to dwell on the past. But his investigation into the ambush that killed half his Special Forces team and ended his Army career gives him little choice. Just when his team learns how powerful their enemies are, hard-ass Beckett encounters his biggest complication yet—a seductive, feisty Katherine Rixey.
A tough, stubborn prosecutor, Kat visits her brothers’ Hard Ink Tattoo shop following a bad break-up—and finds herself staring down the barrel of a stranger’s gun. Beckett is hard-bodied and sexy as hell, but he’s also the most infuriating man ever. Worse, Kat’s brothers are at war with the criminals her office is investigating. When Kat joins the fight, she lands straight in Beckett’s sights . . . and in his arms. Not to mention their enemies’ crosshairs.
Now Beckett and Kat must set aside their differences to work together, because the only thing sweeter than justice is finding love and never letting go.
