Excerpt – Closing The Gap

perf5.000x8.000.indd

Lake let out a wail that sounded like her insides were being wrenched from her body.

“Oh, my God!”

“God’s going to sit this one out, bitch!” the crazy bastard said as he advanced on them.  His gun trained on Lake’s head.

“Just shoot me.  Kill me.  I don’t care anymore.”  Lake shouted, her voice cracked with sobs.

As she sobbed, her voice wavered which made her actual words hard to decipher.

“Please,” she begged her ex-husband.  “Just let the police come in and save Ryan.  He didn’t do anything to you.  He doesn’t deserve this.”

“You spread your skinny legs for him, whore, so he has to go,” Buck replied.  “You, crouching there, bawling like a baby as you watch his life blood ooze from his body is like my own personal Norman Rockwell painting.  Hell, I couldn’t have planned it any better.  I love a gut wound, don’t you?”

“Wh – wh – what?” Lake could barely get the syllable out past the tears that were forming a puddle on her upper lip.  “Ryan is my friend.  I’ve never slept with him.”

Closing the Gap

Lake Harrison was done with love until hockey bad-boy, Josh Adams walked on stage. And took her breath away.

Can two scarred people, perfect for each other, overcome their broken hearts and find the love and happiness they deserve?

Or will Lake’s past, and a madman bent on revenge, put an end to their promising future?
