Cupid Reads Mind Over Matter by S. J. Clarke
A mother faces her worst nightmare when she discovers her missing daughter is scheduled to die in mere days.
Excerpt:
Rebecca swallowed her
shame, remembering what happened the last time they were in this room together,
the day Dan left. No excuse justified their behavior. Not the two bottles of
wine they shared, not the news that the rest of Dan's team were already packed
up and gone, and certainly not her grief. Closing her eyes couldn't block the
memory of the anger in that first kiss, or the desperation in what followed.
Her lack of inhibition in those moments still tormented her, pushing her toward
another drink every day since then.
Dan shook his head. He kept his
expression neutral, but the clenched jaw gave him away.
“What are you doing here, Rebecca?” He
kept his voice low and controlled.
Rebecca squared her shoulders and met his
accusing stare. “Whatever it takes to get through each day without my
daughter.” She walked over and grabbed the glass from his hand. “This has
nothing to do with anything. You're here to help me find Bree, not to judge
me.”
He looked at her and the pity
on his face pushed her back to the wall.
