Sneak Peek Sunday

http://sneak-peek-sunday.blogspot.com/

Excerpt from "Meet Me, Darling" by Edna Curry. Published by Melange Books.

“She’s here?” The big man growled to himself. Heat surged up his neck and he fisted his hands. What rotten luck. Why hadn’t he killed her when he’d had the chance, twenty years ago?
He stared at the Cameron Company payroll list on the computer screen in front of him. Then hope flared. Maybe it was only a coincidence. Maybe they hadn’t hired HER, only someone with the same name.
Hacking into the company’s human resources database, he pulled up her file. Jolene Carson, twenty-five years old. Yep, the right age. Next of kin, parents, Sam and Nancy Carson. Damn, it was her.
He liked it here in Minneapolis and didn’t want to move on again. Maybe she wouldn’t recognize him. They worked on different floors and in different departments. Maybe he could avoid her, or maybe she wouldn’t remember him. He’d changed a lot, hadn’t he? Twenty years was a long time and she’d been so young then. He’d gained thirty pounds sitting at an office desk and no longer wore farmer’s jeans or had a dark suntan from working outdoors.
No, he couldn’t take that chance. If she told, she could ruin everything for him. He’d have to get rid of her.
