Redeeming Alec

by Nikki Soarde

Alec Frechette and Kira North shared the ultimate loss the death of their child. The pain of that loss drove them apart and left them to face mind-numbing grief alone. Working as a bodyguard for the past seven years, Alec has sought comfort in the arms of some of the wealthiest and most beautiful women in Europe. As a nurse, Kira has sought solace in caring for others. However, the healing is incomplete. When at last Alec has his fill of every man's fantasy, he returns home to confront his demons to confront Kira's wrath and accusations. And in so doing hopefully put his grief and his ghosts to rest. But even as Alec and Kira struggle through the layers of anger and resentment, their fragile world is threatened. A serial rapist has been terrorizing Ottawa, and when another young woman is brutally murdered, Alec becomes the prime suspect. Suddenly Kira finds herself fighting to protect the man she has spent seven years hating. Drawn into a web of lies and deceit, she realizes that Alec isn't the only man in her life who isn't at all what she believes him to be.

About the author

Nikki Soarde is a widely published author of erotic romance as well as mainstream romance novels.

Raised in a "progressive conservative" Mennonite home, Nikki had many issues and obstacles to overcome when it came to views on personal sexuality. Writing erotica played a very influential role in freeing her from many of those inhibitions.

She now writes contemporary, M/M/F and romantic suspense romantica. Her novels are widely published and have been translated into several languages.

Besides writing smut, she works at a hospital laboratory part time. She has been married to the same amazing man for almost 22 years, and has three incredibly smart, funny, intelligent sons to call her own. The first one is heading off to college this fall...and she is NOT going to cry. Much.
