Evolution – Book Two in the Masters Series (Series 4)
After fourteen years in the British military, the last ten of them facing off with explosive devices meant to end the lives of his fellow soldiers and anyone who dared to get close to them, Aaron was looking forward to starting the next chapter of his life, reconnecting with his closest sibling, and finding out what phase two of his adult life was going to be about.
What he wasn’t expecting was to be caught up in a whirlwind within hours of arriving in Philadelphia, providing him with a home and a rewarding job that will nurture his soul.
All he needed was the perfect, or even imperfect woman to make his life complete. Simple!
Jessie’s life had been the sort of horror story you normally only found described in documentaries, and even then, you were left wondering how much of the tale had been embellished.
Raised by an abusive father and handed over to an even more abusive husband in payment for a debt, Jessie’s life had been unbearable for the first twenty-two years of her miserable existence, until a moment of courage and opportunity had her running for her life with just her baby son and a few meagre belongings.
Six years later, Jessie still can’t stand to be close to men, unless it’s with the security of O’Connor’s three feet wide bar separating them. The only exceptions to the rule are old Bill, who works with Jessie every day, and Eli, her boss’s fiancé, who’s made her his honorary sister so he can watch over her and keep her safe.
When she accidentally mistakes Aaron for Eli, the shock finds her flat on her ass as she jumps away from him leaving the poor guy looking on in shock. It’s only as Jessie gets to know him, she realises how alike the two men are, and she starts to trust Aaron the way she trusts Eli.
So, why is it she can’t seem to look at Aaron like a brother?
