Novel excerpts: Loss of innocence

Excerpt from: The Woman Nobody Wanted.

Slowly reaching out, resting a hand gently on her shoulder, his head tilted, and a feeling of pride overcame previous doubt. Moving in for a brief kiss, Lane found his lips involved in a lock that he was powerless to fight against.

Misty whimpered as their bodies pressed close and shivers of anticipation leaped in. There didn't seem to be any rational explanation for the way she felt. Five years of believing that Lane Conder had all but murdered her parents, and his own, crumbled into nothingness. Deliberately tampering with brakes took a demented mind and cold-blooded heart.
