Book excerpt: "A spine-tingling, chilling ride into the mind of a demented killer." ~Rave Reviews Teri Carmichael is hailed as one of New York's most-promising new artists. But her marriage to a compulsive gambler is wrecking her life. When her scumbag husband refuses to give her a divorce, she thinks her life can't get any worse, until the police find his brutally murdered corpse in an empty apartment. Further complicating Teri's world is her new photographer, Drew Marshall. He's starting over from a disastrous downward spiral of his own, and nothing gives Drew hope as much as being with Teri. Teri and Drew's powerful chemistry could drive them to the happy ending they've always wanted--if it wasn't for the web of evil being spun around them. A hardened detective is convinced Teri killed her husband, and Selena, a young woman who loves Teri like a mother, is willing to kill to protect Teri from harm . . . in fact, she already has.
