Title: Mind, Trinity Trilogy, Book 2
Author: Audrey Carlan
Genre: Erotic Contemporary Romance
Tour Host: DRC Promotions
Synopsis
I’m a magnet for evil and controlling men. Chase, my big business tycoon and love of my life, thinks he can protect me…he can’t.
No one can.
It became clear far too late how serious my stalker was, that his threats weren’t idle. He proved more than once that he would do what it takes, that there were no stakes too high to his sick and twisted games and delusions of worship.
We should have been better prepared. The roses, images, lingerie soaked in his seed, even his calling card written in blood didn’t penetrate. I had faith that my love could make it go away, that eventually he’d be caught.
I was wrong.
***
In the second highly anticipated erotic suspense novel in the Trinity Trilogy, MIND digs deep into the heart and psyche of Gillian and her stalker through dueling POVs.
While Chase and Gillian plan their wedding, follow them and the entire gang as the stalker acts out his revenge and plots his attack on Gillian, Chase, and their friends.
This book can be considered dark, erotic, and thrilling. As in Body (Trinity Trilogy Book 1) the issue of domestic violence plays heavily in the storyline, and Gillian experiences many disturbing flashbacks of the past, alongside tragedy the stalker brings to the present. There is also a lot of love, devotion, and friendship.
Warning: This book is designed for audiences 18+ due to language, graphic sexual content, and themes that some may find disturbing. MIND is book 2 of a three-part trilogy. Body (Trinity Trilogy - Book 1) must be read prior to reading MIND.
Excerpt
“Baby, Gillian, I’m here,” Chase’s voice
enters my thoughts. I can feel his hand running up and down my back. The lights
of the room start to penetrate my senses. I can see the French doors that lead
off to the balcony, the mahogany desk in the corner, a wall of bookcases with
medical texts and trinkets from around the world. I know this place. I love
this place. This place makes me feel safe. Currently, I’m huddled into the
corner in a fetal position.
“Come here, Gillian. I’ve got you, I’ve always
got you. Remember, I promised to always bring you back,” Chase’s words reach my
subconscious, and I fling myself into his arms. He holds me close, lifts me up
and brings me to the chair I was sitting in previously. I hug him tight as he
cradles me like an infant. Once my breathing comes back to a neutral pattern I
uncurl my legs and look around. Dr. Madison is sitting in his chair, yellow pad
held tight by his clenched hand, the paper scrunched up and creased, kind of
like my heart after that flashback.
“I’m sorry, Dr. Madison,” I whisper and his
head springs up.
“Gillian, you have nothing to be sorry about.
I hadn’t realized that you were having the flashbacks again. This stalker
business is bringing up some very old wounds, ones you obviously haven’t dealt
with. How often are they coming to you?” He asks.
Shame hits me like a physical blow. “Um, I’ve
been having them off and on for the past few months. When I moved in with Chase
they were all but gone. Then this thing with Phil happened, now they’re back
full force.”
“And the nightmares…tell him about
everything,” Chase warns forcing me to be honest with the doctor and myself.
I close my eyes and let Chase’s scent fill my
nostrils and calm me, his warmth replacing the chill deep in my bones, and his
love washing away the shame.
“I’ve had one a night since the note appeared
a few days ago at the hospital. I feel like I’m losing my mind, that I’m living
in the past. The only thing that can bring me out of it is…” I suck in a breath
as the tears spill down my cheeks.
“Is what?” Dr. Madison asks.
“Me,” Chase answers for me and I nod silently,
not able to form words. “And I’ll do it every time. Gladly, baby. You’re mine.
Not some sick fuck from your past that put his hands on you with hate. I swear
to God if I ever see him…”
I turn in his lap and cup his cheeks. “No.
He’s ruined enough of me. I can’t let him hurt you. Not you.” I lean my
forehead against his.
“Is that what you think, Gillian? That Justin
ruined you?” Dr. Madison asks softly.
I nod and look out the window. “I don’t even
know why Chase would want someone so messed up. It doesn’t make sense,” I
admit. Chase’s arms grip me tight. I scramble out of his lap and into the other
chair needing the space to wallow in my own self-pity.
“Gillian, you are the best thing that ever
happened to me. Not only are you the most beautiful woman I’ve ever known, your
heart is bigger than those of a hundred people. You’re smart, silly,
devastatingly intelligent, and your soul is pure. I want that in my
life. I need that in my life, every day, forever.” Chase comes over to
me and kneels at my feet. “No woman has every loved me, the man I am
with you.” Chase swallows and kisses my hands. “You are not ruined.
Baby, you’re perfect. Perfect for me.”
