If you've been keeping up with Entangled Dreams, you know that our female protagonist, Alexandra Nicole "Nicky", has had a very traumatic childhood and is in a worthless relationship. Now she's met a new man and isn't quite sure. She's trying…if she could just stop making mistakes!
Before you read, remember that I write more than just romance; I write romantic-suspense. Although there is some violence, I will never glorify an act.
Excerpt:
The force behind his assault propelled her body
backward against the wall. She struggled to stand upright as she launched
herself toward the front door. She managed to get the door open before he
grabbed her, sending her plummeting to the walkway.
As she crawled across the
concrete to the stairwell, he clawed at her bare legs, his nails digging
into her flesh. She managed to disentangle herself from under his grasp,
feeling the concrete scrape her naked knees. She struggled to stand again, but
he subdued her with a stranglehold.
"Where do you think you’re
running off to? Him? Never!"
He started dragging her
backward into the apartment, and she kicked and struggled to free herself.
Remembering a technique she’d learned as a child, she let herself collapse,
deadweight in his arms. Once free, she darted toward her only escape. Just as
she made it to the stairwell again, he grabbed her. But this time the force of
his attack caused her to lose her balance, and she felt herself falling. The
last thing she saw was him reaching out for her.
That was just a teaser, of course. If you missed the first few excerpts of Entangled Dreams, you can read the first three chapters here.
