Something Other than Pain (Shepard Security #2)
Kerry Taylor
Finally a chance for escape arises, but at a heavy cost. Alex finds herself completely alone and badly injured in a terrifying new city, hiding from the monsters of her past and fighting hard to piece her shattered existence back together.
She battles on, as always, depending only on herself, until one day she meets an incredibly handsome British guy who shows her that kindness really does exist. For the first time in her life Alex isn't alone, but is it all too good to be true? Can she ever truly be happy?
Matt Simmons is still reeling from witnessing his younger sister suffer unspeakably at the hands of her evil ex-husband and he is struggling to move on from the anguish and anger it evoked in him.
A chance encounter with Alex brings a new light to his world and he finds his life turned upside down once again, but this time in a way that will change it forever, for the better.
Together, can Matt and Alex overcome the pain of their histories to have a real connection? And what will happen when Alex's past comes looking for more from her? A new hell threatens Alex's fragile state and Matt is determined to do whatever it takes to hold her together. He, along with his ex-marine mates are determined to do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
Book 2 in the Shepard Security series. Can be read as a standalone, but works better if read with book 1 - Something Other than Fear. No cliffhangers.
