Wounded (An Aspen Series Novella) (Prequel To Relentless) - Plot & Excerpts
When they reached their destination, he pulled his Camaro off the side of the road. “I hope you don’t mind walking a little bit. This car’s not up for much four-wheeling.” “I don’t mind.” She grabbed her blanket as he helped her exit the car. He took a chance and reached for her hand again. His heart warmed another notch when she didn’t pull away. They walked through a thin copse of trees to the edge of the ridge, moonlight illuminating their way. The first explosion echoed over the valley just as they spread out the blanket. “Good timing,” she said as she sat cross-legged on the blanket. He filled the space next to her, choosing to recline instead of sitting with his head cranked upward. “It’s better if you lay down.” She didn’t argue as she dropped back next to him. A brilliant display of red, white and blue burst across the sky followed by another loud boom. “I think they’re better up here, don’t you?” “Yep.” He tried to concentrate on the patriotic colors filling the sky, but each thought and awareness was centered on the woman lying next to him.
