Camouflaged
is the prequel novella to Top 100 bestselling Military Romance, Hidden.
Selena Laurence lives in the foothills of the Rocky
Mountains and spends a hell of a lot of time at soccer games, on her laptop,
and reading. She requires a Mocha Latte every day to function, keeps a
goldendoodle at her feet most of the time, and has more kids than she knows
what to do with. Her husband, Mr. Laurence, spends as much time as he can at
the office and the gym in order to avoid the kids, the dog, the laptop and the
reading, but he always shows up for the soccer games, and he makes a mean Mocha
Latte.

Her lips
parted, and for a minute, I thought she was going to kiss me. I felt my breath
hitch with the anticipation, and my hands automatically went to her hips. I
looked down at her, trying to decipher what was going through her mind.
“Don’t do
that to yourself,” she said fiercely as she rubbed her thumb across my lips.
“Don’t make what he did your sin. You’re smart and healthy and young. You can
be anyone you want. You could have been fathered by the devil himself and it
wouldn’t matter. Be you, but be the best you, not some bad rendition of him.”
She licked
her lips, and we froze for a moment that seemed to carry on for hours. Finally,
she stepped back, taking her hand off my face, and it was like I’d surfaced
from being underwater. The sounds around me rushed back in as if I’d been deaf
and could now hear. The tightness of the space was overwhelming and I felt my
heart pull inside my chest until it physically ached. I swallowed, trying to
overcome the sensation, but it lodged there like a burning lump of coal.
I
unconsciously put my fist up to my chest, wondering how I was supposed to do anything
with that pain there.
