LOVING, BRODY-THE ELUSIVE ENCHANTER

(THE ELUSIVE SERIES BOOK 2)

SAMPLE

Nina.

The blood in my body ran cold as I realized my sister—the one whose face was identical to mine—just tried to kill me.  She actually made an attempt on my life. 

Hours before I’d been lying on my stomach on the ground of a private airstrip, rocks digging into the palms of my hands, with bullets flying over my head, shots that missed me by accident, but did not miss Brody Windham.  He lay on his back, unmoving with a hole in the center of his chest and blood gushing out of it.  The memory was made more difficult, knowing it was Nina who shot him.  She was responsible.

I stood in the emergency room of the hospital, and for about five seconds, I couldn’t think; I couldn’t breathe.  What the hell ever happened to Am I my sister’s keeper?  Apparently, Nina missed the memo. 

As hard as I tried to make it clear that Nina was now an adversary, it wasn’t until I saw her name at the bottom of my text message that she indeed became my enemy.  The part of me that was relieved to know she was alive—instantly died.  When the time was right, I would show her the same mercy I’d shown Mr. Wong maybe even less.

I responded to Hahn’s text.

Why don’t I already know what Nina’s been up to these past fifteen years? I hate flying blind.  Do I at least have her cell phone number?

The seconds of waiting for his response ticked by like the melting of a glacier.  Then the numbers appeared on the screen.

I punched her digits into my phone and typed out a message.  It wasn’t long or drawn out.  But I’d never meant anything more.  It merely stated—I’m coming for you!
