Sometimes, relationships can be deadly.
Terri thought she was
marrying a strong, loving man, only to find that beneath that handsome
face lies something cold, brutal, and dangerous. After years of abuse,
Randy takes things a little too far, and Terri finally summons the
courage to take matters into her own hands and make her escape. But
freedom comes at a price.
Forging a new life, Terri tries to
forget her past, but she can't help looking over her shoulder at every
turn. When prison bars can no longer hold Randy, and her past comes
knocking, Terri finds that the strength to trust again may be her only
salvation.
Spring Cleaning kicks off a week long tour today, so to celebrate, I am giving you a little teaser!

“You have a
phone call, doll.” Passing off the receiver, she flashed a quick grin over her
shoulder and said, “It’s a guy.”
Not knowing
anyone who would possibly be calling her, let alone a man, not to mention at
work, puzzled Terri. With a dark frown, she lifted the receiver and pressed it
to her ear.
“Hello?”
At first she
didn’t hear a thing, the noise in the bar drowning everything out. Turning her
back to the room, she cupped her hand over the phone and repeated the greeting.
At first, she
didn’t trust what her ears were hearing. The voice was too distinct, too
familiar to be real. Her first inclination was to throw out the most obvious
explanation and come up with something that she was better equipped to handle
mentally. However, when his voice came down the line again, rough and laced
with menace, reality slammed into her like a freight train.
“Hi there,
sweets,” Randy said smoothly. “Miss me?”
Terri’s voice
seemed to be caught in her throat, a lump that she had difficulty even getting
her short breaths past.
“Judging by your
silence, I’ll take that as a yes. Don’t try to deny it,” he snapped, then
quickly reigned in his temper.
Terri didn’t realize she had been shaking her
head. In that instant, she knew he was watching her.
