ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 7, 2021

All that’s forgotten isn’t always gone…

I’m at death’s doorstep when my body washes up on shore in Panama.

My memory is a blank slate. I can’t even remember my name. I don’t know who shot me and left me for dead—or why.

Patient and kind, the lone doctor there mends my body while offering me refuge.

As tiny flashbacks of my past occur, I wonder if there’s anyone I can trust.

It’s up to me to discover whether I’m in danger or a danger to others. Whether I’ve actually found love or if it’s all been a lie.

I need answers to find out who I really am.

If only I could remember.

REVIEW:WASHED AWAY by RC Boldt is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, erotic, romantic thriller focusing on Dr. Liam King, and a woman we will come to know as Alexandra.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Liam and ‘Her’) using present day and memories from the past, WASHED AWAY follows in the aftermath of Dr. Liam King discovering a woman on the beach who had been left for dead- shot, beaten and stabbed. Nursing the stranger back to health, Liam will quickly discover that our heroine has no recollection of her life prior to Liam’s discovery of her body, and with it, comes too many questions as moments from her past present themselves as nightmares and pain. Weeks will pass before the first sign of impending trouble reaches our couple in Panama,trouble in the form of the Russian mob. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Alexandra and Liam, and the potential fall-out when the truth is revealed, and our heroine must face betrayal at the hands of the man with whom she had fallen in love.

Alexandra has no idea what happened or why. Her memories are slow to recover but the pain and heart break upon their return reveal a dark and dangerous past of murder, betrayal, blood shed and loss. Falling for her savior, Dr. Liam King, meant falling for a stranger she knew nothing about but Liam’s past is about to reveal a hear breaking truth, a truth that will hurt more than the injuries that left our heroine for dead.

The relationship between Liam and Alexandra begins as Doctor and patient, as Alexandra has weeks of recovery both physical and mental. As the days turn into weeks, and eventually months, Alexandra and Liam act upon their palpable sexual attraction, an attraction that is predicated upon betrayal and lies. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic, and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are limited as the majority of the story line is spent up close and personal with Liam and Alex. We are introduced to Ghost, and Saint, as well as several members of the criminal underworld.Here’s hoping the author has plans for Saint.

WASHED AWAY is a story of family, relationships, power and control; a story of love, loss, betrayal and vengeance; a tale of heart break and revelations. The premise is detailed, intriguing, and twisted; the romance is seductive and passionate; the characters are energetic, charismatic, broken and lost.

NOTE: The excerpt is intended for mature readers due to strong language

 

 

“Do you know my name?”
Every muscle in my body goes rigid. “Excuse me?”
Her chest heaves, and the movement clearly causes her pain, but her lips flatten stubbornly. “What is my name?” Those blue eyes are troubled now, fear edging in, while distress practically oozes from her voice.
“You don’t…know your name?” I ask slowly, carefully gauging her reaction.
“No.” She swallows audibly, her eyes filling with tears. “I don’t remember anything.”
Fuck.
I scoot my rolling stool closer and take a seat beside her. Peering at her, I try to decipher whether she’s being completely honest.
I’ve learned to be suspicious over the years, especially with living in part of the denser, remote jungle areas bordering the coast.
“Well, what I can tell you is”—I lace my fingers casually—“you’re not pregnant, you have an IUD for birth control, and the panel I ran on you says you’re negative for any sexually transmitted diseases.
“You’re also blood type O, and your X-rays showed some broken bones—both previously incurred and current.
“Two of your ribs on your right side showed current hairline fractures, likely sustained during your…accident.”
I pause for even a flicker of acknowledgment but get nothing. Nothing, that is, except witness her expression bloom with stark terror.
“I removed two bullets from your shoulder and two more from your side near your hip. You also suffered a considerable stab wound.
“The X-rays indicated you most recently broke your index finger on your left hand. It’s since healed.”
She stares down at her hand, now trembling slightly, as if it’s grown a head of its own. I don’t bother informing her of the other bones in her body that indicated a previous break or fracture.
Broken left wrist.
Fracture near the base of her right elbow.
Fractures of most of the small bones in her right foot.
Broken nose.
Fractured jaw.
Straightening her fingers, she wiggles them before her eyes cut to mine. A thread of panic lines her tone. “I should remember something like that, shouldn’t I?”
I scan her features again for evidence of deceit but come up empty.
I’m dealing with a woman who has a severe case of amnesia.
Sonofabitch.

 

RC Boldt enjoys long walks on the beach, running, reading, people watching, and singing karaoke. If you’re in the mood for some killer homemade mojitos, can’t recall the lyrics to a particular 80’s song, or just need to hang around a nonconformist who will do almost anything for a laugh, she’s your girl.
