When Secrets Strike (2015)
“She felt a hand, covered by the quilt, graze her arm. She spun away from it, instinct screaming at her to escape, run, hide like a rabbit stalked by a hawk.
Her heart pounded so loudly it deafened her. Think. She had to think, and quickly, before he caught her.
She’d gone the wrong direction—away from the house. She had to get back there, slam the door to keep him out. But he was between her and the porch.
She stumbled along the line of quilts, batting her way past them, trying to f...ocus. Lightning flashed again, followed in seconds by the boom of thunder, disorienting her.
Circle around, some rational part of her mind said. Get on the other side of the second row of quilts, behind him. Quiet, don’t make a sound.
But her breath was coming in gasps. If she had enough air to scream...
She dared not scream. Mamm would come running if she did, and would run right into the man who was at least an arsonist and maybe worse.MoreLess
