New Fiction Wednesday!

Here it starts:

“I’ll be seeing you again….”

The attacker’s words still ring in Deputy Megan Peters’s ears. Her attempt to trap the serial rapist terrorizing Lost Falls failed, but she has succeeded in becoming the target of his attention. Undaunted, Megan moves forward in her investigation, and Scott Anders, the only newcomer in town, draws her suspicion. Is his gentleness just an act? Yet as Megan and Scott grow closer, she finds herself questioning her instincts. What will she believe—her heart or the evidence that seems to be mounting against Scott?

First Page:
“I won’t stop until I find this guy, Anna.” Seeing the raw pain in her friend’s eyes, Megan Peters took a deep breath and forced back the memories threatening to swamp her. “I promise.”

“How?” Anna lashed out, pulling her hands away from Megan’s. “I didn’t see his face. I don’t know who it was, and neither did the other woman who got away. And the two dead girls won’t be talking.”

The bitterness in Anna’s voice stung Megan as if she’d been slapped. “No. But the DNA—”

“Hasn’t matched anyone in the system so far, and probably never will, right? This guy will never be caught.”

“But it does connect the crimes, so when we get him, we’ll be able to send him away for good. There’ll be a time when someone picks up on a clue. Someone else who escapes.”

They both fell silent, Megan’s words a chilling re minder of the two women who had been raped and murdered within the past six months. If a group of noisy hikers hadn’t come by and scared off her attacker, Anna might have been number three.”
