BLURB:
Part of a secret government project, Elena Davidson's life is in serious jeopardy when she is kidnapped by terrorists. Safeguarding 'Blue Horizon' isn't just a mission. She knows that if its purpose is revealed and if it falls into the wrong hands, it could be dangerous for the entire world.
Part of a secret government project, Elena Davidson's life is in serious jeopardy when she is kidnapped by terrorists. Safeguarding 'Blue Horizon' isn't just a mission. She knows that if its purpose is revealed and if it falls into the wrong hands, it could be dangerous for the entire world.
Beckham Connors has a simple mission: the retrieval of Elena
Davidson, no matter what the cost. He has orders to rescue Elena from her
captors and to send her home to America, or if necessary--kill her. Whatever
happens, she cannot be left alive on Iranian soil.
EXCERPT:
Elena
braced herself for the kiss that was sure to come. She should have been afraid;
Beckham could overpower her and she wouldn’t stand a chance, but fear was the
last thing on her mind.
His fingers
encircled the back of her neck, and he tugged her lips to his. Sparks ignited,
lighting the backs of her closed eyelids. Without hesitation, their tongues
explored. Her body demanded more of the sensual, intoxicating kiss. Elena’s
heart raced. Grasping his broad shoulders, she felt his solid weight above her,
pressing her firmly against the bed. Her breasts molded against his muscular
chest. Beckham smelled so good, like earth and man.
“You’re so
beautiful…so damn soft and sweet.” The heat from his husky words sent a shiver
of excitement across her skin. She willed him to devour her. Elena had been so
lost and alone that being held securely in his arms felt good and right. She
could tell Beckham needed her just as much as she needed him.
The
whiskers from his strong jaw rubbed against her skin, sending a ripple of
painful pleasure through her. She moaned. With one hand she tugged at his shirt
so she could touch his bare skin. Beckham caressed her breast. Even through the
cloth she could feel the heat from his touch. She bit her lower lip to stop the
cry from escaping. Scattered thoughts raced through her mind. She should be
stopping this. She should be outraged that he dare touch her. The voice of
reason pleaded with her to remember who she was and what he was, but she told
it to shut up. She threaded her fingers through the length of his brown hair,
bringing him even closer, needing to feel his lips once again on hers.
The sudden
pounding on the door echoed throughout the room. Before the noise even
registered in her mind, Beckham had leaped to his feet and was standing beside
the bed. He took a second to slow his breathing and then cracked open the door.
Mumbled words were exchanged. Elena strained to make them out. Apparently
Beckham understood, since he opened the door a bit farther.
“Okay, be
right there.” He glanced back at her. His wrinkled shirt was half unbuttoned,
his hair disheveled. Beckham looked as if he’d almost been devoured. Had she
done that to him?
His heated
gaze raked over Elena as she lay sprawled on the bed. “Damn—I’m going to kill
him.” After uttering those words, he smashed the turban back on his head, went
out, and shut the door behind him.

Beckham sounds like a role for Gregory Peck, unfortunately, GP is dead and I can't think of a modern actor who can play this role. Blue Horizon would make a great movie.

Susan Frances,
DeleteThanks! It would be amazing to have BLUE HORIZON made into a movie. There are so many good actors to play Beckham. My vote goes to Gerard Butler.
