At Peace - Paperback

by Kristen Ashley (Author)

Violet Winters and her daughters once had it all but lost it when Lieutenant Tim Winters was murdered by a criminal madman.

Over a year later, during a cold winter night, cop's widow, Violet, has to leave her warm bed to tell her neighbor to turn the music down.

And that's when she meets sinister, scarred, scarily attractive security specialist, Joe Callahan.

She wants to deny it, but she can't beat back the hunger she feels for Joe. She gives in again, and again...and again. Feeling it himself, Joe feeds Vi's hunger, breaking his own rules to keep her in his bed.

Even though Violet had only one man in her life, she's sure Joe is giving her the signals and Vi decides she's ready to take a second chance at life and, maybe, love.

But Violet doesn't know the dark secrets in Joe's past, secrets so soul-wrenching, they've drained him dry. With nothing left to give, Joe's determined to live his life alone.

But Violet's husband's murderer is obsessed with her and heartbreak again haunts the door of the Winters girls. When it does Joe is forced to face the knowledge that he can't fight the combined pull of Violet and her daughters. They've gotten under his skin and filled him full to bursting.

Joe needs to win them back and put his life on the line to keep Violet safe.

But, having had it all twice, can Violet endure losing Joe?

Author Biography

Kristen Ashley is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. She grew up in Indiana, but has lived in Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus she's been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least), but loopy is good when you want to write. Kristen was raised in a house with a large and multi-generational family. They lived on a very small farm in a small town in the heartland and existed amongst the strains of Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched). Needless to say, living in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up. And as she keeps growing up, it keeps getting better.
