SYNOPSIS
Fate is a Moreno Brothers spinoff series.
He ruled out attachments years ago. Then one day he crosses paths with a beautiful but pampered daddy's little princess. History has taught him one thing about women like her—steer clear.
She was starting over. She moved back to her home town, took a new job assignment, and left her past behind. For the first time in over eighteen months, she's even intrigued by a man—a sexy but cold and indifferent drill sergeant. Despite feeling drawn to him, she has no time to figure out his inexplicable aversion to her.
Then Fate steps in one night, forcing them together. There's a connection neither can refute, and they both consider giving into the undeniable attraction.
Fate however can also be cruel. Just when they surrender to their heart's desires, past demons resurface in the most unexpected way, threatening the happiness neither realized they so desperately needed.

5 fun facts you might
not know about Elizabeth Reyes:
5.In middle and high school she played clarinet
and was in the band.
4. Despite all the drama and
break ups she writes in her books she has never broken up with her hubby for
even a day since they first started dating almost twenty-two years ago!
"Not even a day. I was angry at him for a few hours ONE time when we were
dating but never once have we uttered the words break up."
3. She is very good at playing
Texas Holdem. More than once she's won an entire tournament consisting of
mostly men ( her husband's friends and brothers) and has earned the playful
nickname by said friends and brothers of "The Black Widow."
2. She considers herself a
storyteller before a writer. She's been creating stories in her head since she
was a little girl and the stories still come to her from every direction. Later
she learned to write them down so they made as much sense on paper as they did
in her head.
1. Unless you count the few
creative writing assignments she had in her high school English classes she has
never taken a single creative writing course.
Excerpt #1
He heard her
step out behind him, and if he weren’t mistaken, the tapping of her heels
against the floor was a little louder than normal.
“Sergeant
Billings?”
Curious and
mildly pleased to hear her say his name, he stopped and turned to look at her.
Seeing her once again in the light, he ignored the fact that she looked better
every goddamned time he saw her. “Yeah?”
She took a
few steps toward him. “Aside from the airport in Washington D.C., have we met
before?” Her expression was visibly annoyed. “Or do you think you know
me from somewhere else?”
Letting out
a dry chuckle, Brandon shook his head. He’d hit it right on the nose. She
really was struggling to figure out why he hadn’t fallen all over himself to
charm her from the moment he first laid eyes on her. Obviously, it’s what she
was used to. What a piece of work!
He was
grateful for this added confirmation that she was a self-entitled little
princess, because he needed it now that his eyes locked onto hers and they were
even bigger and darker than he remembered. As she took a few steps closer and
he got an even longer look at the fine details of those big brown inquisitive
eyes, he had to focus on what he’d just confirmed. He suddenly needed the
knowledge that he’d been right about her all along as a safeguard. It helped
with the dislike he knew he needed to continue feeling for her. “No, Ms. Brady,
fortunately, we’ve never met.”
Her eyebrows
spiked. Just like last night when he first ran into her and the hurt in her
tearful eyes was so palpable, there was no hiding what she was feeling now.
Utter annoyance. This time he pressed his lips together to refrain from
smiling. Why the fuck did her annoyance with him amuse him so much?
“What
exactly does that mean? Fortunately? You’ve obviously made some kind of
assessment about me, yet you know nothing about me.”
“That’s
right. I don’t. And I’m sorry that my lack of desire to know more upsets you.”
It pissed
him off that even with his years of training in discipline he was incapable of
keeping his eyes off those lips, especially when her mouth fell open as it did
just then. Glancing back up at her eyes instead, he saw that little eyebrow
lift again. “It doesn’t upset me,” she said. “It’s just that. . .” She glanced
around flustered. “I’ve just never—”
“I know
you’ve never, Ms. Brady.” He walked away, thinking he should be feeling
smugger that she may as well have admitted she wasn’t used to men not being
interested. Instead, he felt somewhat disappointed he’d been spot on about her.
The sound of
her heels clicking once again quickly and with conviction against the floor
made him smile. But he wiped the smile the moment she came around him and stood
in front of him, forcing him to stop. She stood so close that the subtle scent
he’d picked up in the elevator overwhelmed his senses now. Whatever she used to
wash those thick tresses was distracting as hell. “You don’t know anything
about me, Mr. Billings—”
“Sergeant
Billings,” he corrected her immediately rewarded with a very annoyed pucker of
her lips.
“You don’t
know anything about me, Sergeant Billings. So whatever preconceived
notion you think you’ve figured out about me is completely unfair, but
you know what? I don’t give a shit. As a matter of a fact—”
The lights
went out again, and she glanced around for a second. Then their eyes locked
once again in the dim hallway. Shaking her head, she didn’t finish what she was
going to say and started around him, but he moved in front of her, stopping
her. It took her by such surprise her hand lifted, pressing against his chest.
“As a matter of fact, what?” he asked, gulping as he stared in those startled
brown eyes.
