Protective Instincts Mary Marvella Barfield

Set in Georgia, this book will remind some of us of southern storytelling and manners. Three years after her husband's murder teacher Brit Roberts has a new job in a small high school in a small, peaceful town in Georgia. She is getting her life in order, but that is about to change. Sam Samuels has the gift or curse of premonitions. They are warning him now that his son's language arts teacher is in danger. How can he tell a woman who barely speaks to him that she is in danger and he must protect her . Douglas Drake has a new assignment, to kill Brit Roberts, wife of Tommy Roberts, the noisy lawyer he killed three years ago. Having the interfering man hanging around her won't help, but he never fails to finish an assignment. He actually enjoys the planning and execution of each kill. When hangup calls become harassing calls she learns the killer has been in her house and knows what she is wearing to bed. Brit is independent and strong and doesn't want to need a man, but now she must accept the protective help of Sam Samuels, parent of one of her students. Sam has no plans to marry again, but Brit makes him want to try. Can Sam and Brit stay ahead of the killer? This story as a lot of family dynamics happening and a twist that might just shock you. I call this a romantic suspense, but it has been called a psychological thriller and even erotic romance. I prefer to call it a suspense with hot, sensual sex.
