My friend Sheryl Hames Torres challenged me to post the first line from one of my books, from chapter 1-3. So here goes. My book has a prologue, so Im including it, plus chapters 1-2 instead. From SUSPICIOUS MINDS - a romantic suspense novel Prologue: Ryan’s stomach spasmed. Acid scorched his throat. Every conscious thought screamed denial, yet his trembling hand reached for the bag. Under the fluorescent lights, the ruby pendant glowed like a hot ember. He squeezed it in his palm, trying to feel its pulsing warmth--like the warmth of Shelley’s smile. Oh, God! It was as cold as the body on the table. Chapter One: Natalie smiled in spite of the serious situation. Alyson knew her so well. I do have a plan, but there’s nothing harebrained about it. You’re right about my father being shrewd. He’s never accepted anyone or anything at face value. It’s a safe bet he’s done a background check on DeMarco and stashed the information in a file. I’m going to find that file. Tonight. Chapter Two: He dropped his flashlight. Oh, no! He had to know she was there. Not moving, he appeared to listen carefully as he cocked his head to one side. She didn’t dare move. She held her breath. The stranger squatted to pick up the flashlight. Natalie gasped as he started toward the closet. When he flung the door open, the automatic bulb illuminated the small space. She jumped to her full height, coming face to face with her boyfriend’s bearded face. Thomas!
