PROLOGUE
Anthony Maldono sat back in his
chair and looked out the window of his home in La Jolla California at the
ocean. The turbulent waves crashed on the beach and he felt it fit his mood
exactly. He looked at the computer screen and scowled at the e-mail which was
still waiting for his reply, he stood and walked over to where he kept his
files his private investigators compiled for him about everyone and everything
involved with Alexia Hanson and Jeremy Ellison. Looking through them until he
came to the one labeled “Evie Taylor,” he pulled it out and started to review
it.
He didn’t understand why she would contact him. Thinking it might be good to
surprise her, he started moving his plans up.

Jeremy
lay back in the bed, staring up at the ceiling, listening to the gossip show
coming from the other room about Alexia and Noah’s wedding. Right now, he hated
his life. He knew it was temporary, but he couldn’t wait for a change to come.
A change he was going to make.
He formulated his plan. He’d spent considerable time and money keeping track of
everybody while staying hidden. He knew Anthony Maldono as well as he knew
himself and he knew what Anthony would do next. He wasn’t done making Anthony’s
life miserable. Time to step it up a level.
For the past nine months he’d watched the authorities run around trying to find
him and Anthony made a free man, it was time to start moving. It made his blood
pump that he was finally going to be able to do something. He looked into the
other room where the woman he had to depend on was shoving fist after fist of
popcorn in her mouth. He wanted to get up and stick a knife in her gut. He
hated her. He wanted her dead. But he had to wait since he had a plan. A plan
that would increase the stakes in the game he was playing.

About The Author
M. Stratton is an
International Amazon bestselling author in the romantic suspense and mystery
suspense categories for her debut novel After the Storm. She is a
self-proclaimed dork that loves to make people laugh and can trip over nothing.
Her inner rock star is always on stage performing to a sold out crowd but is
quiet and shy on the outside.
She lives with her husband and son in Arizona, which is a big difference from
where she grew up north of Chicago Illinois. As an only child she learned to
tell herself stories to make the long winters go by quicker while dreaming of
summer vacations. Now as an adult she still makes up stories to pass the time,
but now she writes them down to share with other people.
When not writing you can find M. watching football (Go Bears!), NASCAR, or
classic movies, watching her husband and father restore classic cars, and
seeing who can be sillier, her or her son, and of course reading.
Things you don’t know about M. Stratton:
1. She loves the movie Twister… she can say all the lines along with the
actors. She will also use those lines in real life as often as possible.
2. Halloween is her favorite holiday. She starts planning months in advance.
She has more Halloween decorations than Christmas.
3. She once made up a monologue about her love of chocolate chip cookie dough
for her high school drama class.
4. There are times she thinks she is so funny she has tears running down her
face while laughing at herself.
5. M. can play the clarinet but is in awe of anyone who can play the guitar,
piano or drums, pretty much anything where your hands have to do two different
things at the same time.
6. Cary Grant is her favorite actor. When she was in high school after Cary
Grant died one of the cable stations ran a marathon, she watched his movies
from 6 in the morning all day and night until 4 AM the next day.
7. Reading has always been an escape for her. She can devour a book in hours.
When she moved in with her husband she literally donated over 1,000 books and
saved over 1,000 for herself. She can reread books over and over again if she
loves them. There are some that she has reread about once a year for the past
20 years.
8. She eloped after knowing her husband for only two months in 2006. They are
still married over seven years later.
