Eternal Flame (2010)
“Screams echoed. Screams that came from him-no …her.
The fire he saw, the twisting orange and gold flames-it was in Jana’s mind. Her memories.
Paint peeled off the walls, boiling and dripping even as she screamed for the fire to stop. Screamed and choked on smoke. Screamed for help that didn’t come.
And the flames wouldn’t stop.
Zane sucked in a deep breath and fought through the memories. Jana’s first fire. He could see the charred body of her stepfather. Hell.
Another scene flashed in his mind...’s eye. Jana hunched over a wooden table as tears trickled down her cheeks. “I-I didn’t mean for it to happen!”
A balding man in a suit loomed over her. “So you admit you started the fire!”
“I didn’t mean to—”
“You started the fire. He died.”
Her eyes squeezed closed. “I want my mom.”
“Too damn bad because she sure as hell doesn’t want you. She knows you’re a killer, and she never wants to see you again.”
Jana’s fingers trailed up Zane’s chest. He knew she was right in front of him, but the images of the past were all he could see then.MoreLess
