Cupid Reads Mind Over Matter by S.J. Clarke


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.

Intriguing excerpt, Sandra. Sounds like Rebecca and Dan have more problems to overcome than finding her missing daughter. Great hook. Best to you and your writing!
