Introducing fellow Eternal Press author, Juanita Kees, and her newest release, FLY AWAY PETA.
Blurb: Fly Away Peta by Juanita Kees
The
time has come to face her worst fear and the clock is ticking…
Peta
Johnson will go to extreme lengths to protect her daughter Bella. When the
Bella is kidnapped, the search for her takes Peta back to the small Australian
country town of Williams, a place she’d vowed never to return to. The town
where her dreams were shattered and her nightmare began. Back to the place
she’d been destined to meet two very powerful, yet very different men. One
would break her heart, the other would destroy her soul. Both would change her
life forever.
Excerpt:
Peta
snatched the photo from his hands and put it back in her purse. Her spine was
ramrod straight. Ice dripped from her tone. “How magnanimous of you, Jaime. I’m
quite capable of taking care of my daughter financially.”
“Yes
and by keeping your mouth shut, you endangered her life and your own!” Jaime
regretted the words the moment they left his tongue. He saw Peta flinch as the
shutters descended in her eyes. He felt her retreat. The flimsy bough of peace
was broken, destroyed by his angry words.
The
door opened as they both stood, facing each other angrily. Tension sprang
between them like a coiled snake, ready to strike at the smallest provocation.
“We
didn’t have much luck with the tape of his call.” Mark didn’t notice the
tension until he looked up from dropping the room key on the table. “No
background noise, nothing to identify his whereabouts.” He watched as Jones
bent to wipe up the soapy puddle on the floor near the kitchen sink, then
looked at Peta and Jaime curiously…and spotted the still damp patches on their
chests. “World War III or just a minor disagreement?” When they both glared at
him, he continued, “Okay, then, on to the plans for tonight. We’re looking at
putting a substitute in Peta’s place for the drop off…”
Peta dug her heels in. “No!” she said. “I go
or the deal’s off. I’m not putting
Bella’s life at stake any further.”
“Peta, he’s unstable. Who knows what he’s
likely to do? The drop off could be a trap. It’s too risky. He knows there’s no
way we’re letting you go in there on your own. He’ll be ready for us...and
you.”
Peta
looked at them, chin raised, her stubborn expression leaving them in no doubt.
“It’s my daughter’s life at stake here. I go tonight or you don’t get the
evidence either!” She held up her hand as Mark began to protest. “It’s me he
wants. I know how to handle him. I did it for ten lousy years! I’m done being
scared.”
