Burn for Me: a Hidden Legacy Novel
“I won’t. Kelly, the man is insane.”
Kelly Waller reached over and touched her husband’s hand, looking for reassurance. He took his hand off the wheel and squeezed her fingers. Strange how intimate a touch can be, she thought.

“He won’t hurt me. We’re family.”
“You told me yourself he hates his family.”
“I have to try,” she said. “T...hey’ll kill our boy.”

His father would’ve had the weeds poisoned . . .
Her stomach churned. A part of her wanted to go back and somehow undo the events of the last two days. A part of her wanted to turn the car around.MoreLess
