Excerpt
A fist cut through the air toward my head, and a startled squeak escaped my throat as I flinched reflexively.
The fist stopped a hairsbreadth from my temple, the downdraft rippling the baby hairs around my face. The near blow sent my heart tripping in my chest, and I cracked open one scrunched eyelid, grateful to still be on my feet.
“And you have another concussion.” The deadpan voice came from Sam, who pushed away from the gym wall and crossed the workout mat to critique my less than stellar self-defense skills.
I released a huff of frustration and tucked the ruffled baby hairs behind my ears. “I don’t get concussions that easily.”
“Remind me how many you’ve had in the past two and a half years.”
I searched the ceiling as if it might provide the answer. Two maybe? But who was counting?
“Three,” Jordan offered up.
Okay. Apparently he was counting.More in This Series
About the Author
Jesus and laughter have brought C.C. Warrens through some very difficult times in life, and she weaves both into every story she writes, creating a world of breath-stealing intensity, laugh-out-loud humor, and a sparkle of hope. Writing has been a slowly blossoming dream inside her for most of her life until one day it spilled out onto the pages that would become her first published book.
If she’s not writing, she’s attempting to bake something—however catastrophic that might be—or she’s enjoying the beauty of the outdoors with her husband. One of the many things she’s learned since she started this journey is that the best way to write a book is to go on a long stroll with her husband. That is when the characters—from their backgrounds to the moments that make them laugh or bubble over with anger—come to life.
