It’s been a while since I mentioned my sweet romantic suspense, Riley’s Mission. If you haven’t checked it out yet, here’s a brief taste of the story to whet your appetite:
~~
Raised voices caught her attention and she opened her eyes. One of the voices spoke English, but the other shouted in Arabic. Jade’s heart raced and she trembled at the sound of the Arabic voice.
It couldn’t be him. She’d left him in a Syrian prison.
She climbed out of bed and went to the door. No matter how horrible she felt, she had to know if it was him. She followed the sound of the quieting voices and peered around the corner. In a glass-walled room lay Aziz Khadoul. He was having a heated discussion with a brown-haired man wearing an outfit identical to Gibson’s. The soldier looked almost like…
It couldn’t be. She hadn’t seen him since Kuwait. Jade backed away and leaned against the wall, fighting terror at the sight of the man responsible for her evacuation to the United States in the company of a man she knew well.
She made her way to an empty wheelchair parked a few feet away and dropped into the seat. Lowering her head to her hands, she tried to figure out how Khadoul had ended up in Grant County General Hospital. How had he even made it into the United States?
No matter how he’d gotten here, he couldn’t see her. He’d attempted to kill her before, and she had no doubt he’d try again, no matter how sick he was. Moisture stung her eyes. She’d fought so long and hard to stop him from killing anyone.
“Ma’am, are you all right?”
Jade lifted her head and found Gibson watching her. Before she could respond, she noticed the brown-haired man with him, the same man who had spoken with Khadoul.
She hadn’t been wrong.

Lots of emotion in this scene, and lots of questions raised too. I’m curious about the back story of these characters and what happened in Kuwait. Good excerpt that left me wanting more.
Great teaser. Now I want to know more.
I enjoyed the excerpt. Riley’s Mission sounds like a real page-turner.
Sheesh! The tension is palpable! Thanks for this great morsel.
Very intense! Definitely want to read more….thanks for sharing.
Here’s MY SWEET SATURDAY SAMPLE
Oh nuts, what a ‘teaser’ that was. . .now I have to get up and clean residue from my remodeling job (to make room for yet another mess!) instead of heading for the book store!
