Page 9 of Icy Cold Death

Did he want her dead?

As she went to her knees, the world began going black. The edges of her vision began graying, and she couldn’t see anything.

Not the trees.

Not her killer.

Not the ground in front of her.

Going flat, she felt the plastic bag being sucked into her mouth as she fought to get any air.

It was the most painful minutes of her life.

Before she knew it, there was darkness. It surrounded her and took her under.

It was the inkiest darkness, and she didn’t even feel her body being dragged down the path by her hair.

This moment was her end.

She was dead.

She was gone.

As she was being transported, she didn’t feel her body being rolled into the water, or being carried away in the current.

She.

Felt.

Nothing.

Why?

Because Keri Hester had let a man be the cause of her death. She had so many regrets.

There would be no sexual outdoor adventure.

There would be no tomorrow.

She was gone.

Her life…and her lover…were out of her reach.

Forever.

Girl’s Weekend Away

O h, trust Victoria Littlemoon when she said that they had all earned this little trip. For them, getting away was going to be fun and not something they got to do unless it was work-related.

No, this was about having a good time and surprising a loved one.

It wasn’t so much about a ‘girl’s getaway’, but more about helping someone they loved plan a destination wedding. The husband-to-be wanted to surprise his fiancée, and they were in on it.
