I love coming across online posted snippets and excerpts from books - a few moments of escape from what you were doing and a quick way to dive in and see if you want more. And in any book shop, at any given time, you can always see people turning to a random page in a book and having a quick read.
So by way of saying a huge THANK YOU to everyone who followed and participated in the blog tour celebrating the release of THE WAITING GAME I thought I'd post a snippet. By the way, the winner of the giveaway competition for the hand-crafted notebook and giftcard will be announced very soon.

Sunday Snippet
There was a grim twist to his mouth when he said, "All you need to know - all you need to believe - is that I'm going to do everything and anything to make sure Spinks doesn't get to you again. Do you understand?"
The conviction is his tone frightened her. Made it all seem so real. Too real. The ragged edge of panic descended again. She looked around the room, her vision swimming. This was supposed to be her safe haven. Her sanctuary.
As if he understood, Cam offered quietly, "When we leave, it'll be easier if you don't look back. I appreciate this is hard, but it's only a matter of time before Spinks works out a way of getting here. It's important to know when to stay, when to run, and when to hide. Right now, you hide. At least until I can verify his intentions. You ready?"
"Yes."
At the door, his hand shot out to stop her. "It's the dark blue rental parked on the corner. I don't have a driver. It's not like being on tour. It's going to be like the day you and I went to the beach on our own. Remember the drill?"
Dragging in a breath, she nodded.
This was it, then.
Life interrupted.
Again.
She couldn't look at him. She was too afraid that if she caught his expression, she wouldn't see him remembering that day at the beach when he'd relaxed his bodyguard attitude and kissed her, hot and deep and full of want. Afraid that instead of that warm memory, she'd see him remembering how he'd found her on day six of her disappearance.
In a damp, derelict boarding house.
Tied to a steel gurney.
