Suddenheat (2013)
“His breath seemed to stop in his lungs, his heart racing then slowing to a deep thud, thud, thud in his ears.
Everything within him demanded he protect Melanie. He wouldn’t let anything happen to her.
The thud happened again. Then a whimper.
Caution made him move forward slowly. Darkness made it damn hard to see but he’d been in the position of creeping up on the enemy before.
A few seconds later the whimper became a female cry.

Concerned about a trap, he unlocked the door and threw it o...pen. He heard Melanie gasp behind him. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Emergency lighting spilled over a crumpled female lying on her left side on the floor.
She couldn’t be more than five feet tall. A tight black dress fit over her thin form. Her equally black hair covered her face in a messy tangle.
Behind him Melanie said, “It’s one of the clerks. Tia.”
Blood stained the floor under the woman’s left arm. “She’s hurt.” He glanced around the store and saw no sign of a shooter.MoreLess
