Refuge In His Arms by Lizzie Ashworth
Refuge in his Arms by Lizzie Ashworth
Contemporary Romance
Paperback and Ebook (2017)
~~Blurb~~
Even in her sleep, Mackenzie Kilpatrick remembers this is a dream she has dreamed before. She
snugs her forehead against Sid’s neck and inhales his familiar scent. His strong arms clasp tightly
around her, pressing his heartbeat through the thin cotton t-shirt. She strokes the back of his neck as
her face nestles in the curve of his shoulder.

The dream shifts and changes. Sid’s husky voice comes from a distance. “Get out of L.A., Mac. Get
out now.”
out now.”
“Sid?” She strains with her dream-shout. “Sid!”
He stands in front of her, his close-cropped hair caught under his camo hat, his tanned forearms
framed against his dusty uniform. Behind him, bare gray mountains rise high along the horizon. The
armored Hummer sits several yards away bristling with weapons and antennae. Other troops duck as
gunfire explodes around them. Sid stands there unflinching like he always does, staring at her from
the shadow of his hat brim.

the shadow of his hat brim.
She knows he is dead.
Then she’s awake, gasping, tears on her face, her throat tight in the contortion of dream screaming.
She throws back the covers and sits up in the dark room. The dream has never been like this. She
draws a shaky breath. The digital clock readout says 5:40 a.m.

Mackenzie’s day gets worse from there. Her parents call from Oklahoma, warning her that overnight,
the sun has ejected a massive solar flare that’s hitting Earth. Her phone stops working mid-call. The
television sputters and goes to static. With Sid’s dream warning and her parents’ plea for her to come
home, she throws things into her car, loads up her dog Captain, and starts out of the drive.

She’s halfway out of the garage when the ground shifts. Walls tumble, cracks open in the roadway,
and she barely makes it to the other side of the freeway when a traffic jam from hell stops her. She
sees a way out—if she can maneuver down the sidewalk. Then she’s stuck. And there’s this guy
waving his arms, shouting.

This guy…David Evans…not a man she would ever want to know. But there he is in all his devastating,
overpowering presence leaning in her passenger side window telling her what to do and here she is
stuck between a fence and a light pole, and well, it could actually be the end of the world.

~~Excerpt~~
After a few seconds of leaning over Mackenzie to stare at the wreckage below, David reluctantly pulled
himself back. She smelled like some ancient perfume, floral and seductive. His instinct was to kiss
her pouty mouth, let his lips slide down that elegant neck to the shadowed cleft that disappeared at the
V-neck of her shirt. He wanted to hold her against his chest and mutter words of comfort, but then, all
that was complete madness and the day had offered up plenty of madness already. Not his style
anyway. Probably some kind of primitive impulse based on the situation. The ‘situation’—he huffed.
The word simply didn’t approach what this day had become.

His mouth twisted. Shit on top of older shit. Things had reached an impasse with Harris, and his
creditors were out for blood. Kaitlyn’s thug would probably be back to finish what he started. Fucking
good thing for that weird light in the sky—David gingerly touched his eye again. Hopefully none of this
would ruin his appearance.

He had always wondered how much of his success came from his looks instead of his talent. It didn’t
matter how much Mrs. Walker and other teachers through his early years had raved about his musical
abilities. Or, like Mrs. Hudspeth and her incessant praise for his ability to create poetry with his lyrics.
He suspected teachers did that with all their students, pumping them up, making them believe they
could do anything. Wasn’t that kind of their job? When it came to standing on stage under spotlights
with the rest of the group knocking it out of the park, how hard could it be to strum a few chords and
sing?

In those years, it all flowed like honey. Wonder boy, they called him. Song after song, sometimes
collaboration, sometimes what spilled out of him in the middle of the night when just enough whiskey
cut him loose from his inhibitions and let him believe he knew what the fuck he was doing.

Well, he’d pretty much seen the light about that. He had no idea what he was doing. Like Harris said at
their last go around, song writing isn’t rocket science. You’ve either got it or you don’t.

days of his rich and famous… Better to look out the window and contemplate the fucking landscape.
Not give another minute’s thought to this woman sitting beside him.

Not give another minute’s thought to this woman sitting beside him.
There was plenty to contemplate. Dirt, rocks, and debris marked every road cut they passed.
Mackenzie muttered to herself at each one, tapping her fingers on the steering wheel as cars waited
patiently on each other, taking turns, every one of the drivers evidently stunned by the gravity of the
circumstances. She was damn cute.

If they made it to Palmdale, he’d be amazed. Not that she was a bad driver. But between here and
there, they’d have to cross the fault zone. They’d probably get stuck in a landslide or some other
complication, and both of them would have to hitch a ride. Worst case, he thought, turning to look
behind him, they might have to sleep in the back of this car in the middle of nowhere.

He reached back, welcoming the nuzzle of this big dog. He reminded him of Dodger. What a fucked-up
thing to remember. He scratched the dog’s head, diverting his attention to the back of this woman’s
tempting neck.

“And you can stop kissing up to my dog,” she said, her voice breaking into the extended silence. “I

David laughed. “You are prickliest female I’ve ever known.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment, considering the probable multitude.”
“Thousands,” he said. “All of them chanting my name.”
She snorted. “Please.”
Crisis forces Mackenzie Kilpatrick and David Evans together under terrifying circumstances. The Big
One—the long-anticipated massive earthquake in Los Angeles—sends everyone into the streets.
Mackenzie throws a few supplies and her dog Captain into the car to escape town when her car gets
stuck. David is on his way to nowhere when he sees her and decides to help her get unstuck.

Mackenzie's loss of her husband in Afghanistan and David's ruined career as a rock and roll star loom

About this book: Researching coronal mass ejection (CME) proved one of the more daunting tasks in
this project. Scientists don't fully agree on whether an extreme event would destroy the entire electrical
grid along with electronic ignitions. There is agreement, however, that a devastating CME is not only
possible but stands a one in eight chance of occurring within the next decade. The effects could literally
bring our modern society to a standstill.

Lizzie Ashworth has been through career, marriage, kids, and even ran her own cafe, but writing
has always been her secret love. Hidden away on a remote woodland hilltop in the Arkansas
Ozarks, she accepts advice from her hound dog Weezie and her black cat Esmeralda. She has

relationships.

Liz writes erotic romance because her mind just naturally runs to the gutter. Also, it’s way past
time to celebrate women’s sexual freedom and the evolution of our culture to finally bring sex
out of the closet. What she find most exciting about this minute in the history of literature is
that through indie publishing, the author can directly connect with her readers.

War Eternal: Angels’ Whispers - Awards:
2017 Readers' Favorite Five Star Review
PRAISE FOR THIS BOOK
"In Book One of the War Eternal series, Angels' Whispers, Cain deftly immerses her readers in well-developed characters and rich, almost cinematic scenes that bring instant believability to this extraordinary tale of cosmic love. As the dark soldiers of chaos and the legions oflight line up for a final, titanic battle for the destiny of mankind, you'll keep turning these well-edited and meticulously written pages to find out what happens next. Five stars to Angels' Whispers. We await Book Two with great anticipation." Publishers Daily Review ★★★★★
"This whole story was an incredible romance wrapped in an examination of the big questions: What is my purpose of being? Is there life after death? This is always a dangerous subject and line for an author to tread, but J.F. Cain in Angels' Whispers handles it extremely well. An excellent read and one I recommend."
Readers' Favorite ★★★★★
" Angels’ Whispers is a multi-layered story with interesting side-plots and solid characters that offset each other quite well. What I liked best about it was the immersing atmosphere of the scenes and the distinctive attributes of the supernatural races. Overall, I thought that it was an excellent, well-written Fantasy novel.
I look forward to Book 2. " The Dreaming Geek ★★★★★
As a child, I was drawn to the mysterious, the magical, and the unfathomable. As I grew older this interest grew, creating a thirst in me to know and understand human nature, the world surrounding it and the mysteries hidden behind the veils of space and time. Searching for answers, I began to study psychology, mythology, philosophy and esotericism. But the demands of work and family forced me to put an end to my intellectual quest.
Years later, when there was no longer anything to stop me from exploring the worlds I was so curious about, I decided to move to a house in the mountains. There, experiencing a sense of profound silence and inner completion, I felt the conditions were right for me to devote myself to the study and exploration of the subjects I was interested in.
This time I included other sciences in my research, such as comparative religion, anthropology and quantum physics. I now knew that, in order to find the answers to my questions, I had to couple the knowledge concealed in religious teachings and philosophies with the findings in physics revealing an invisible, parallel and imperceptible universe – a pairing that many scientists and writers had attempted before me.
It was not an easy endeavor. To succeed, I had to counter the harsh rationalism that life’s experiences had wrought in me with a persistent sense that a metaphysical mystery did indeed exist. And I also had to shape a logic of a different quality and breadth. I travelled arduous spiritual paths, discovered terrifying secrets and learned firsthand how dangerous it can be to enter elusive spheres of esoteric knowledge. I faced unexpected difficulties and had to make many sacrifices, but I did not give up.
One winter evening, as I sat by the fireplace, my gaze pinned on the flames and my mind lost in theories, symbols and trains of thought, I experienced something that propelled me to write an allegorical story based on the knowledge I had gained.
There followed three years of non-stop intellectual ferment and writing, which gave birth to a large part of the War Eternal series. In this novel, over and above the clearly expressed objective logic, I tried to conceal important ideas within tantalizing external forms. Because some truths are hard to accept…
