Book Excerpt

The door flew open. Summer shot up from her chair, the knife poised as a weapon.

Axel stood in the open space, watching her wield the knife.

She sank back down, relieved.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. The wind blew the door from my grasp.”

Summer willed her heartbeat to return to normal. “No, it’s okay. You didn’t...” But he had and the tremor in her voice mocked her words.

Axel slipped into the rocker beside her and petted Camo absently.

The frown on his face had her worried. “Something happened.” 

He turned slowly. “Yes.”

Summer’s grip tightened on the arms of the rocker while she waited and prayed their location hadn’t been exposed.

“There was a car on the road.” Axel told her about the window being down and the light searching around the darkness for signs of them. “They mentioned my name, Summer. They obviously ran my plates and know that I live somewhere down this way. Hopefully, with the weather and the fact that I don’t have a mailbox on my property, they won’t be able to find us.”

But she could tell he wasn’t sure. He couldn’t give her the guarantees she desperately craved. Could they take that chance?
