Something powerful and dark and dangerous.

The End of Me (The Single Lady Spy #1)

His death was almost the end of me.

He was still everywhere, surrounding me.

In our children's eyes, in the smell lingering in our bed, in candy bar wrappers stuffed down the side of the minivan driver door.

He was everywhere except where I needed him to be.

In my arms, kissing my lips, on the name of the deed to our house.

When his death didn't end me, the proposal from the man who owned every moment of my life, did.

My husband carried on in the places he wanted to be but I was gone the moment I agreed.

The moment I let him have me, was the end of me.

Today she wonders if she will live to see tomorrow.

"Don't help anyone. Don't go where other people are unless you have to. Trust no one. Always pull the trigger."

Until one night she hears the worst sound in the world, a knock. A simple, timid knock, on the door to her cabin.

Only the voice of the brave little girl, ready to die for her brother, persuades Emma to open the door.

As her fingers turn the lock, she has a terrible feeling she will regret her decision.

But even as regret fills her world, so do love and companionship. Things she never imagined she would ever have again.

Everything comes at a cost, you decide what you'll pay.
