Blogs Taking Part in the Release Day Launch
Exclusive Excerpt
There’s a romantic notion that if the person you love dies,
you’ll somehow feel it. You’ll feel the connection sever as the other half of
your soul is ripped from you. But I didn’t feel anything when Lily died.
Nothing. I should have felt something, shouldn’t I? Like the tether she holds
around my heart snapping or a surge of electrical current when the connection
between us was lost? Something. But there was no warning. As I drove to my flat,
there was no sign of the devastation waiting for me. Nothing to prepare me for
the reality that my heart was about to be irrevocably shattered. Even if I had
felt something, it couldn’t have prepared me for this.
It all seems unreal. Lily can’t be dead. Despite the
numerous times I lectured her about the danger she was in, I never truly
believed I’d lose her. I thought as long as she was with me, she’d be safe.
What a fool I was.
Time’s come to a standstill. I’m frozen whilst people move
all around me. A constant squawk of radios echoes in the hall. Police officers
and firemen hustle in and out of my flat, moving with such purpose. Tasks to
complete. Because this is just a job to them. Just another murder scene. One of
many. They take notes, collect samples, snap pictures. When it’s over, they’ll
go home, or to the pub, and the horrors they saw here will eventually fade
away.
Not for me. My anguish from this day will never fade. It
will fester inside me, trapping me in eternal misery. Since I’m perishing in
hell, I’m going to make sure the bastards who did this to her perish right
along with me. I’m certain vengeance crosses the minds of most people who have
lost someone to such senseless acts of violence, but I know this isn’t just a
passing stage of grief that will wane with time. Cartels like Morelia survive
because they know how to work the system. Blackmail, extortion, and bribery
make them untouchable by authorities. The only way I’ll get justice for Lily is
if I annihilate them myself, and unlike most people, I have the resources and
connections to make it happen.
About When Fates Align:
Why would fate bring them together only to tear them apart?
Lily and Gavin were brought together in a clash of tragedy
and chaos. Amid the ashes of lives gone wrong, they thought they found a second
chance at love. With trouble from their previous lives lurking around every
corner, they quickly learned that love from a star-crossed romance isn’t enough
to survive.
Lily has slipped through Gavin’s fingers, and he feels as
though he’s been sentenced to an eternity in hell. But if he’s going to perish
in the ninth circle, everyone responsible for coming between him and Lily will
go down with him.
Perhaps their love was never meant to be. But, if he’s
learned anything from his time with Lily, it’s that sometimes everything has to
crash and burn before life can begin again.
