Excerpt
His face felt hot with the memories. How many times had he imagined discovering her hurt and unconscious? No amount of worrying could help fix someone and yet he had spent so many, many years trying.
He stumbled out of the bedroom and into the bathroom. He needed to think. He tried to clear his head with icy tap water. It was only for a few minutes. He considered running for help to a neighbor maybe? He couldn't involve the police, not yet. Too many lies and secrets might be exposed. Or he could run far away like Aaron had suggested a few days ago in the lab. No he couldn't leave her like this. He went back to their bedroom. She was gone! He squinted. Shadows formed around the dark looming house as the sun set. He shivered.
Willa Goodheart, honest and hard-working white collar worker finds herself connected to a police investigation for a serial killer; and she hasn't a clue why - that is, until she begins digging.
