Excerpt
For a moment her feet became lead weights and she could not move. Not again! Her heart began thumping so loudly it sounded like the roar of a jet plane, and then the nausea hit as the room span out of control.
Amanda heard the sound of laughter above her and gasped as the air became thick and cloying, teasing at the scream that was trying to escape from her throat. Memories suppressed for so long came flooding back, tapping at her brain to remind her that all was not as it seemed.
Quickly she leant against the heaving walls to stop herself from fainting, and forced her lungs to take long, deep breaths. It will pass, she kept telling herself, I’m at home, I’m at home.
Her hands slid along the inside of the pantry wall until she felt the door, searched for the handle, and flung the door open, taking two steps back and almost falling into the kitchen, where the early morning light was as welcome as water in a desert.
Gradually her pulse began to slow and the nausea subsided. She’d have to get Tony to change the light and keep a torch on the shelf in the pantry in case it happened again. It had been months since the last attack. She had let herself get complacent, thinking every time would be the last. It never was.

A fun read from a new author and I recommend
Due Process is an interesting novella. At just 146 pages, it's a fast paced read mildly reminiscent of Ian Flemmings James Bond series. Amanda's life is flipped upside down when her husband is kidnapped, sending her on a journey to stop an international drug dealer. It's a fun read from a new author and I recommend you give it a try.
