1 Week Till Straight On Toward Paradise
The launch of Straight On Toward Paradise is only 7 DAYS AWAY! I’m thrilled to bring you Chef Emma Bertram’s story. Emma had been estranged from her father ever since he broke up their family when she was 15. Then her father and stepmother are killed. She's forced to return to her childhood home of Shellwater Key where she learns the shocking news that will change her life even more...
Here's a sneak peek.
“Why
don’t you tell me what’s so important that it can’t wait until later?” Emma asked.
“Because
later you might escape again,” Reece said dryly. “Judging by your past
behavior, I wouldn’t be surprised if you took flight in the dead of night.”
She
wouldn’t run like an escaped convict. Most likely. Her mother did have a room at
the inn after all.
“I
already told you I’m not going anywhere,” Emma said, fighting to hide any
reaction. Fighting not to care that Reece Casings seemed to hate her. “At least
not tonight.”
He
glared down at her. “If I have my way, you won’t be going anywhere.”
“What
does that mean?” Emma asked. “Are you going to lock me up or something? I’m not
a prisoner, you know. My father and I didn’t get along, but that’s not a crime,
and really it’s none of your business.”
“Everything
having to do with you is now my business, Miss Bertram,” he said. “As executor
of his estate, everything left behind after your father’s death is my business.
Including your sisters.”
“Are
you their guardian or something now?” Emma asked in confusion. “I thought
Mona’s mother would have been named. Where is she, by the way? Why isn’t she
here?”
He
froze for a moment. “You don’t know?”
“Know
what?”
“Mona’s
mother had a severe stroke about a month ago,” he said. “It was quite
debilitating. She’s in a rehab facility right now, and it will be some time
before they know how much function she might regain. She’ll probably never be
able to live on her own again.”
“No,
my father didn’t tell me.” Calls to her father had happened sporadically,
especially once she’d started working on the Queen’s Ransom. Her sisters must have been devastated. Mona’s
mother was practically the only relative they had. Her father had been an only
child, and his parents had died when Emma was a little girl…
“Wait…”
Emma said, a new kind of tension gripping her. “If she can’t take the girls,
who will?”
Reece
Casings simply looked down at her, his expression pointed, as if he were
waiting for her to connect the dots.
When
she did, a whole new level of panic swept over her. “No…” She shook her head.
He couldn’t be saying… She couldn’t.
“Emma,
there’s no one else,” he said, his tone gentler now, as if he didn’t want to
spook her.
