Book excerpt: Aimee Carruthers is unprepared for the violent nature of the man before her. His cunning to attack her so brazenly is frightening but it hardly compares to the self-possession she can see on his face. It’s clear to her that he is unafraid and completely intent on doing her harm like he had his three other victims. Honour Bound, a romance/action novel, is set in the fictional city of Port Divine on the east coast of Australia. The tough, smart mouthed, stubborn heroine is Aimee Carruthers, a Senior Constable with the Port Divine Police. Her life as a cop began five years ago, when she requested Port Divine as her training ground, an area the rest of her fellow probationary constables had retreated from with a hint of disgust and a large dose of fear. Aimee has a point to prove. Port Divine is a tough city, riddled with drugs, prostitution, organised crime and delinquents. Aimee lives and breathes the life of a cop and so far she’s had a somewhat turbulent but successful career. She’s self sufficient. She doesn’t need anyone looking out for her - especially not Tactical Response Group Officer Xavier Symonds. Aimee is drawn into an impossible situation when her life is threatened by a fellow officer, an officer she respected. An officer she has worked with for the past five years. Aimee faces the brutal truth about her vulnerability as a cop and as a living breathing human being. No one has ever succeeded in doing that before now unless she considered Xavier Symonds and the vulnerability he made her feel as a woman. Forces come together to find a way to combat the enemy. To keep Aimee out of harm’s way. She refuses to go home to her family. She’s a Port Divine Police Officer, something she takes great pride in. She isn’t about to let some turncoat officer tarnish the name of the Port Divine Police, or the reputation of the honourable officers that put their lives on the line every day. She’s adamant she’s staying, regardless that her life remains in danger. But relying on others to keep her safe doesn’t come easily. As much as she wants to believe she can live her life alone and protect herself, having Xavier by her side without question has her thinking that life without him wasn’t going to cut it. Facing the traitor who wants her dead Aimee relies on her instincts, drawing on her courage, and her reserves of strength to get her through. It’s not the only time she’ll need them. She has something to share with Xavier, something she didn’t know she so dearly wanted until now.
