Closing her eyes, Stephanie took a deep breath, whispering to herself, “It’s over.” Her lips curving into a smile, she said softly to Gena, “Let’s go home.”

The man opened the
L.A Times,
spreading it out onto his lap. Carefully reading the words, he already knew so well, a smile on his lips. He reached out to stroke the photo of the woman he’d circled in red.

Lifting his head, he turned to stare at the woman kneeling in front of the grave. He studied her before he turned his attention back to the article.

Stephanie Carovella. He spoke her name aloud, savoring the feel of it on his lips. He smiled. He remembered her. He wondered if she remembered him.

Turning his car’s ignition, he cast a glance towards where she now stood solitarily. He smiled coldly. Soon, they would meet again.

Soon, there would be nowhere left for her to hide.

 

 

Thanks…

 

Where to start? Thank you first and foremost to Laura Babcock Dunaway, for allowing me to use you as a sounding board relentlessly. I’m surprised I didn’t drive you up the wall.

Thank you to my editor Jennifer Roberts-Hall and proofreader Emily Dawson. Your positive feedback, constant support and talent have helped shape me into the author I am today.

Emily – you’ve been my personal cheerleader right from the beginning and I adore you for it. Now hurry up and write your own damn novel, so I can do the same for you!

To my Beta Babes– Holly Rose, Shannon Lee-Smallpage, Leighta Bennett, Shelly Pratt, Laura Babcock Dunaway, Paula Phillips, and Emily Dawson. Thank you for the support and for telling me what I couldn’t always see. You were a blessing in disguise.

To the gorgeous Melissa White – thank you for just being the person you are. You’ve been right beside me, cheering me on, from the moment I said to you, “So, hey, I think I’ll write a book.”

To the real Ben and Jase – who let me steal their names and turn them into fictional characters. I love you boys.

To the Writers Club - You guys and girls are my cheerleaders. You’re the ones who support me when I am down and kick my ass when I’m too hard on myself. It means everything to me to have found people who share my passion for words.

And lastly to the ones who told me I’d never get anywhere with my dreams…well…
