Guess what?
T.B. Markinson has a new book coming out on December 8th 2014!
How incredibly awesome is that? It promises intrigue, suspense and heart-stopping action because really, who doesn't love heroines on the run? You never know what's going to happen! So read on and let me know what you think:
Blurb:
Claudia doesn’t
feel like herself anymore—she feels like prey. Her husband’s hired goons have
stalked her all the way to Boston and will only stop their pursuit once she is
dead.
Divorce is not
an option. Instead, she has stolen a bunch of her man’s money to disappear into
another life.
In order for
Claudia to live, someone else must die. A lookalike college student becomes the
target capable of freeing her from an awful marriage.
The plan goes
horribly awry. Instead of murdering Claudia’s double, the assassins shoot the
woman’s lover who is the cousin of a powerful Irish mobster. Claudia becomes
hunted by all involved. Can she survive? Should she?
Sounds pretty crazy, right? Want more? How about this excerpt from the novel:
At
first, everything had been roses and wine. When others warned her about Dennis,
Claudia laughed it off.
“Use your head,” Claudia’s mother had said. “How could a
man in his early thirties make so much money owning a handful of run-down bars
in two small towns in the West?”
“What, you think he’s a drug dealer or something?”
Claudia had broken into hysterics. “He hardly looks like a gangster, Mother.
Dennis doesn’t wear any jewelry. Not even a wedding ring.”
In Claudia’s mind, a gangster would at least wear a gold
necklace. And, he had excellent table manners. There was no way Dennis could be
a thug. How many scrawny five-foot-six guys were?
They had married after seven months.
Neither had intended to marry so quickly, but they had visited Vegas for a long
weekend, got drunk, and got hitched. It wasn’t until Claudia moved into
Dennis’s house that she started to notice things. He wouldn’t come home for
days, and when he did, he refused to tell her where he had been. He racked up a
lot of mileage on her car, not his. When Claudia asked about it, his reply was
a cold stare that made her legs feel like jelly. Granted, one of his bars was
in Greeley, but that was only a twenty-minute drive from their home in
Loveland. How did the miles add up so quickly?
After a year, they started to fight
constantly. Verbal arguments. After another year, the fights turned violent.
Claudia ended up in the hospital—still nothing serious enough for her to walk
out. Not yet. Instead, she started hoarding cash. In the beginning, it was a
little bit here and there. It was simple. Claudia would request cash back when
she used her debit card at the grocery store. Dennis liked her cooking; he
never questioned how much his wife spent on food. When she realized her
embezzlement plan would take years, not months, The Hunted chose a more drastic
solution. The next time her husband crossed the line …
