Reader Magnet Sneak Peek!
What am I currently working on and willing to share with you? Check it out!⬇️
This week's tease comes from the reader magnet I've been working on. We follow Detective Anna Robbins from When You Fight as she struggles to cope with Detective Trenton leaving and her never healed childhood scars.
I want to preface this, as I have in the book, by making it clear that this was written intentionally to be a slice of my writing style, not just how I write my crime dramas. Meaning that all my books have this trauma healing, strong relationships, true love, positive messages, and other such themes. Hopefully, you'll all enjoy it.
My mind replays moments from today, watching that little girl cry over seeing her abuser, reliving her pain. Flashes of memories bombard me, making my heart race. Bright lights, cameras in my face, being told to say and do certain things for all those people watching, being forced to do things I shouldn’t have experienced at such a young age. The feel of hands on me, the sound of panting breaths, my own cries for help, to stop, going unheeded. I pant for breath, no longer seeing the street in front of me, not really hearing the people around me, as I stumble forward, trying to escape the scenes in my mind. Not again, never again, I won’t, I can’t.
There’s a scream, a horn honks, and I’m yanked roughly back, my feet stumbling over the curb of the street as I tumble before being spun gently by my wrist. I spin around and collapse back into the arms of a strange man who stares down at me with the gentlest green eyes I’ve ever seen. My breath continues to pant from me as I struggle to process what’s going on, where I am, why he’s holding me like this as if he just dipped me in a dance. My mouth tries to move, but no words come out, I’m at a complete loss.
Could it be love at first sight or something else? Tell me what you think!
