“Excuse me, I think you dropped this.”
The man turned around. So he understood English at least. Good start. Laurel held up the black wool scarf she had just unwound from her own neck. She’d followed the man to his hotel a few blocks from the club. The finest hotel in the area, she noted, as […]

The antiquities shop looked like every other little storefront along the colorful, busy marketplace. It was a bit worn, the paint starting to fade and the front picture window a little dusty and smudged with fingerprints. The once dark green canopy over the open doorway was a paler shade of moss, frayed at the edges. […]

“Good evening. Dylan, isn’t it?”
“Yes. Hi.” The stools on either side of Dylan were occupied. He controlled a sudden urge to push one of the occupants off their stool so Tomas might sit down.
Instead Tomas leaned down, saying softly to the man on his right, “Martin, would you mind terribly giving me your seat for […]

Farther down the corridor, there was movement. Massive leathery wings the color of cinnamon brushed along the walls on either side of the…creature. Two giant horns protruded from its head, and when it turned to face Evan, a wide grin broke across the creature’s face, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth. The creature’s gaze flickered to […]

Bastian stared regretfully at the ravaged beauty in the picture and pinned the photograph to the chart detailing River City’s latest serial killer’s M.O. His imagination could almost sense all the blood dripping from the board. She was his fifth addition to the list in as many months. One a month, precise as clockwork, they’d […]

Zebadiah LaCroy refused to flinch under his captain’s steely gaze. He knew the regulations as well as anyone and he knew what he was asking. He also knew that exceptions were made every day. He pressed his new bride closer to his side to stop her from squirming. 
“She won’t be any trouble, sir. She understands […]

“What possessed me to do this?”
Seth chuckled and Robbie stared up at him.
“Something about lack of work in Baltimore, I recall.” Seth ruffled his fingers through Robbie’s hair. “Come on. Rise and shine.”
“It’s too damn early.” Robbie grumbled as he tossed back the covers.
“You’ll get used to it.” Seth gave him a grin and a […]

Sliding the glass door closed behind her, Alexandra padded through the sunroom and headed for the kitchen. Off in the distance, the sound of clinking silverware filled the halls as a tiny voice squawked above the din. As she turned the corner, she paused at the sight before her. Gemma and Elsa were in the […]

Dawn’s first light shone through the sheers in the dining room. Even though Mike had been gone for almost five years, his place setting remained as always—including the beveled glass into which Consuela always poured his tomato juice at breakfast time.
I forced my eyelids open wide and snapped on the kitchen light. Tuesday morning already. […]

Zoe said something, but Jenny couldn’t quite make out the words over the blaring music.  They’d gone on to Zoe’s favorite bar, but the place was so loud and smoky, it was giving Jenny a headache.  “What?” she called, leaning forward.
“I said I’m glad you came out tonight.  It’s about time,” Zoe said loudly and […]

“Put me down you oaf,” Skylar squealed as Rand settled her over his shoulder. 
“Not until ye learn to listen to me and do as I tell ye.”  He would not relent on this point.  The stubborn woman had to be taught a lesson.  He was tired of her rudeness, arguing and disobedience.
With sure steps, he […]

Hope followed Mike’s wife down the corridor to her office. Anne slammed the door behind them. “Ms. Taylor, I’m not one for games so I will cut straight to the chase. I want to know what it will take for you to go away.”
Hope was dumb-founded. She struggled to find the right words to say […]

       Abby spoke with Antonio that evening on the phone after he talked with Lucy. Their murmured conversation served only to arouse her passion.     “Bella, are you alone now?” 
 
      “Yes.”
      “Bene.” His voice sank to a whisper. “I’ve shut the door to my office and my assistant has gone home.” Abby heard him take a deep […]
