Excerpt
Reaching my SUV, I place her feet on the ground and cage her against the passenger door, bracing both my hands on either side of her head. “And what about you, Lia?” I ask, dipping my head in close to hers. “Hmm? You know my secrets. What about yours?”
She might not know all of mine but she knows enough.
“What is it you want to know?” she asks, a slight tremble in her voice.
“I want to know who you are and where you came from. But more than anything, I want to know what you’re hiding under that scarf.”
The stark pain that enters her eyes strikes me to my fucking core. “Trust me, you don’t want to see what’s under there. I can’t even bear to look at it myself.”
“Nothing scares me.”
It’s a complete lie. She scares the hell out of me.
A heavy silence descends upon us, her pretty eyes wide and fearful.
“What are you so afraid of?” I ask.
Her breath hitches, emotion shining bright in her gaze. “Everything.”
There’s so much despair in that one word that I want to fucking kill whoever put it there. Unable to resist, I gently drop my forehead on hers, my jaw locking as I restrain myself from doing what I really want to do.
“I’m going to respect your privacy…for now. But one day, you’re going to tell me who made you so afraid. And if they’re still breathing—they won’t be for much longer.”
Her eyes fall closed, lip trembling as she tries to shield her pain from me. “Some secrets, Kolan, are best left unknown.”
“Not between us. The day will come when there will be no more secrets between us.”
Her eyes open, locking with mine, but she remains silent. I press my lips to her forehead then reach for the door handle. “Come on. Let’s go home.”

BLP REVIEW ~ REBECCA
From the very first KC Lynn I read (Fighting Temptation – Men of Honour#1) I loved her style and her characters. When I read Sweet Temptation #2, and discovered Sexy Sawyer, KC became an auto one click for me and this book and series remain a firm favourite; that man is just the Bomb! Sexy, sweet and a smartass!
Resisting Temptation #3 stepped it up again and was the most emotional read – my heart broke so many times in those pages and I don’t think one single feeling was left untouched. An Act of Obsession (Acts of Honour #3) is a combination of the absolute best of both these books and as highly anticipated as this one has been to all KC fans she has not disappointed.
In this crazy world we live in everyday we do little things, smile, interact, stop for a brief encounter, help a fellow human who is being treated unfairly because it’s the right thing to do and just normality for us. But what if that inconsequential little thing that we do automatically, without thought, is a huge deal for the other person, what if their focus is so screwed up and off the charts batshit crazy that it starts a nightmare you are unable to wake up from it, the physical and psychological damage done dictating the horror of a life you now have? This is the story of Sophie and Kolan, two broken souls whose connection and chemistry make for addictive reading, the writing is flawless, sensitive, emotional, thoughtful while also hot as fuck! I always had a soft spot for Kolan from his first appearance, was feeling a little possessive over him (don’t tell me it’s fiction, he’s in my headspace!) and wondered who would be right for him… the surprising and delightful Sophie is perfection and together they make a whole.
The secondary cast from the other books in both series all make appearances and the banter, love and affection of this family of choice and blood is heart warming, real and brings a smile to my face every time.
A more than welcome addition to the series and makes me almost tempted to share my affections between Sawyer and Kolan………………………….
K.C. Lynn is a small town girl living in Western Canada. She married her high school sweetheart and they have four amazing children: two lovely girls and a set of handsome twin boys. It was her love for romance books that gave K.C. the courage to sit down and write her own novel. When she is not in her writing cave, pounding out new characters and stories, she can be found living between the pages of a book, meeting new tattooed, hot alpha males with very big…Hearts.
