Hit ‘n Run
by Lori
Power
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Determined
to build a better life, and forget their past, a freak accident crashes Lorna
Tymchuk and Mitch Morgan back into each other’s lives.
It’s
more than a “Hit ’n Run” that needs to be taken care of at the police station.
False identification, miscommunication and a past better left buried surface to
plunge these recently reunited lovers into a deadly game of cat and mouse
trying to figure out who the bad guys really are.
Excerpt:
As Mitch’s hand reached out for her shoulder she shrunk from
his touch, again a little girl who couldn’t stand sympathetic contact. She
bathed him with a hard look. “How could you do this to me,” she spat. “After
what we shared, how can you think I was involved? How dare you!”
A shuddered breath wracked her tense body and she refused to
let the tightening of her throat release the threatened tears as she continued
in a hoarse whisper. “I would have thought your investigation would have
revealed where the money came from,” she said forming air quotes over the word
investigation. Swallowing to contain her emotions further, Lorna stood in the
hopes of putting an end to the conversation. “As for Tim Fong. He’s the CEO of
Aqua Oil. My client. I am their marketing person. I handle PR and media
relations. That’s what I do—what my company does. Investigate that! I don’t
know and have never heard of the Fong Family. I am sure everyone has some shady
characters in their background. As you unearthed, I obviously did.”
“Lorna …”
Feeling the weight of sadness envelope her like a blanket,
Lorna waved her hand at him, palm outstretched in dismissal. “I’m tired Mitch.”
She sighed forcing her feet to move and hold her weight without shaking as she
backed away.
Looking down at the one and only man who ever made her feel
special, wanted, desired, Lorna realized all of it – her feelings – the way she
thought he felt for her – it was all a big lie. Just another lie. He used her
to get to her client and she felt deflated, drained of all emotion. How could
someone she had been so open, so intimate with assume that she was somehow
involved in an illegal crime ring? Because you have a record of being involved
in criminal activities.
“Lorna, please. I can’t lose you again . . .” Mitch stood to
reached for her hand.
She turned at her name. The anguish in his voice almost, but
not quite able to penetrate her defensive shell. Arms crossed protectively over
her stomach, holding firm to her sides, she lowered her head. “You’re not the
person I thought you were,” she said turning. From over her shoulder she
continued. “You’re not someone I want in my life.”
