Blood And Bone
“He despised the woman.”
—excerpt from Blood and Bone by Shayne Reynolds Des stormed across the driveway, up the stone steps and pounded on his grandmother’s door. The sun beat down on him, the air thick and hot despite the early hour. Sticky sweat slicked his skin and his irritation amplified. He closed his hand into a fist and beat harder on the thick oak.
The door opened a half foot and Deirdre’s bulldog face filled the opening. “What do you want? She hasn’t asked for you.”
Des ignored the ...housekeeper, shoving the door open the rest of the way, striding past without a backward glance.
“Wait! You can’t—”
“Watch me,” he snapped as he strode down the hall. He glanced into the parlor, then the library. No sign of Heddi. He made his way deeper into the house to check her sunroom.

Deirdre made no attempt to follow him. Instead, she scurried to the kitchen.MoreLess
