EXCERPT FROM ROGUE\u2019S PASSION BY LAURIE LONDON<\/b><\/p>\n

A man in a leather coat stood in what used to be the doorway. He was tall. And big. At least six-three or four, with broad, powerful shoulders. A once-black T-shirt, now covered in dust, stretched tightly across his well-defined chest. Low-slung jeans with a studded leather belt and chain accentuated his narrow hips. He was dressed like an outlaw from a motorcycle gang.<\/p>\n

He was also favoring one leg and cradling his arm.<\/p>\n

Without thinking of the consequences, Olivia flew to his side and righted an overturned chair. \u201cHere. Sit.\u201d<\/p>\n

When she helped him into the seat, her hand inadvertently brushed his. Before she jerked it away, a visual list of his injuries rolled like movie credits in her head. Concussion but no head trauma, broken clavicle and leg, cracked ribs, torn meniscus, multiple contusions.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. I\u2026can\u2019t.\u201d He had a strange accent. One she\u2019d never heard before. \u201cNeed to\u2026find my dog.\u201d<\/p>\n

She blinked once, confused, and then she remembered the dog she\u2019d seen before the explosion. \u201cHe\u2019s yours?\u201d<\/p>\n

The man brightened. \u201cIs he here?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I saw him a few minutes before all this happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

His face fell and he started to push himself up.<\/p>\n

\u201cHold on,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGot\u2026to\u2026find\u2026him.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was strange to see such a man looking so vulnerable. Because his injuries weren\u2019t life-threatening, she\u2019d be able to heal them fairly quickly, though. \u201cYou\u2019re not going anywhere like this. Not until I can\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

As soon as she bent down to kneel in front of him, her mother\u2019s admonitions rang in her head. What the hell am I doing?<\/i> She pulled her hands back as if she\u2019d just burned them. She couldn\u2019t let anyone, especially a stranger, know what she was capable of. It wasn\u2019t like he was dying, she reasoned. It would be a different story if he were. \u201cI\u2019m sure he\u2019ll turn up.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was studying her a little too intently, and she got the distinct impression it wasn\u2019t because he didn\u2019t believe what she\u2019d said about his dog.<\/p>\n

\u201cWait here,\u201d she ordered, standing up quickly. \u201cI\u2019ll let someone know you need an ambulance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d he said vehemently. \u201cNo ambulances.\u201d He sure didn\u2019t sound confused anymore.<\/p>\n

Unruly dark hair, which included a few thin braids, hung over his brow, reminding her of the wild stallions in the horse books she\u2019d read as a kid. His features were chiseled, his jaw square and strong. His nose, though straight, had a bump on the bridge as if it had been broken once or twice. Not tonight, but earlier. And his eyes\u2026God, those eyes.<\/p>\n

They were almost otherworldly.<\/p>\n

Framed with thick lashes a girl would kill for, the steely-gray of his irises glimmered in the glare of the aid cars\u2019 lights as if they were backlit. Even though he was hurt, she found him rugged, powerful, and utterly beautiful.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw you here\u2026earlier.\u201d<\/p>\n

He had to be confused, because if he\u2019d been in, she\u2019d have remembered him. He wasn\u2019t the sort of man she\u2019d ever forget. \u201cOh really?\u201d she asked, humoring him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou gave him\u2026water. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou did<\/i> see me,\u201d she said, a little startled. She narrowed her eyes, trying to think of where he could\u2019ve been. \u201cWere you\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAcross the street,\u201d he finished. \u201cAt the club.\u201d His voice had a rough, hardened edge, which she found oddly soothing. \u201cAre you okay?\u201d he asked, looking around the rubble of the wine shop.<\/p>\n

No, she wasn\u2019t okay. She was shaken up, freaked out, and really, really scared. But at least she was alive. Unlike her boss.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was trapped downstairs in the wine cellar when it happened. I just got out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not injured, lass?\u201d<\/p>\n

Lass? Is he visiting from Scotland or something?<\/i><\/p>\n

His concern for her despite the fact that he was in much worse shape struck an unexpected chord. \u201cI\u2019m\u2026I\u2019m fine. Really. Please, let me get you some help.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. No help for me,\u201d he repeated. \u201cBut my dog\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

He grabbed the back of the chair and tried to push himself to a standing position.<\/p>\n

\u201cHold on.\u201d She held up her hands but didn\u2019t touch him. She didn\u2019t want to see another laundry list of his injuries again. And once she made contact with an injured person, it was hard not to heal them. \u201cYou\u2019re in no shape to go anywhere. What\u2019s your name?\u201d she asked, trying to distract him.<\/p>\n

\u201cAsher,\u201d he groaned. \u201cBut I must leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, Asher, I\u2019m Olivia, and you really need to take it easy. You\u2019ve got a list of injuries a mile long. And\u2026I mean\u2026\u201d She tried to backpedal. \u201cYou seem like you\u2019re hurt pretty badly. You know, just from how you look.\u201d Oh man, she needed to just stop talking or she was going to dig herself into a deeper hole. Of course he looked injured. Any regular person without a Talent could see that. She didn\u2019t need to be acting so guilty.<\/p>\n

He opened his mouth, probably to protest, but just then, a man in a reflective orange vest appeared in the doorway.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey, if you\u2019re not hurt, I could really use your help out here.\u201d<\/p>\n

She looked at Asher. \u201cI\u2019m not, but he needs\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

Asher\u2019s eyes turned concrete gray. There was a tiny, yet deliberate shake of his head. I\u2019m fine,<\/i> he mouthed.<\/p>\n

Okay. That\u2019s bizarre.<\/i><\/p>\n

He clearly didn\u2019t want any medical treatment, but given how hurt she knew he was, it didn\u2019t make sense. Maybe he had an aversion to needles or something. If the tables were turned and she was the one with all those injuries, she\u2019d totally go and\u2014 No, wait. She wouldn\u2019t be excited to go to the hospital, either. The authorities might find out about her.<\/p>\n

She chewed on her bottom lip. Part of her wanted to go out and help, but the rest of her wanted to get as far away as possible. Out there, she\u2019d be surrounded by injured and suffering people. She didn\u2019t know if she\u2019d be able to resist using her abilities. And if someone were dying\u2026<\/p>\n

The aid worker clapped his hands. \u201cCome on. Let\u2019s go. You\u2019re wasting time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asher looked at her, a curious expression on his face. \u201cIf you\u2019re concerned about me, I\u2019m fine. Just a little shaken up.\u201d<\/p>\n

She had no idea why he was lying about being hurt or why he didn\u2019t want any help, but one thing was certain. This handsome stranger was hiding a few secrets of his own.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
