Walking around New York City was what Mitty Blake did best. He loved the city, and even after 9/11, he always felt safe. Mitty was a carefree guy–he didn’t worry about terrorists or blackouts or grades or anything, which is why he was late getting started on his Advanced Bio report.
Mitty does feel a little pressure to hand something in–if he doesn’t, he’ll be switched out of Advanced Bio, which would be unfortunate since Olivia’s in Advanced Bio. So he considers it good luck when he finds some old medical books in his family’s weekend house that focus on something he could write about. But when he discovers an old envelope with two scabs in one of the books, the report is no longer about the grade–it’s about life and death. His own.
This edge-of-your-seat thriller will leave you breathless.

Thankfully, she had the presence of mind to keep a tight enough grip on the handle. She was also thankful she realized it was Bruce who had greeted her. The man was apparently a silent walker."Don't do that!" Meg shouted.Bruce put his hands up in a mock surrender pose. "Sorry. That wasn't on purpose. Please don't throw anything at me again.""I'm not living that down for a while, am I?" Meg asked."Not for at least a week," Bruce said.Pulling out one of the kitchen table chairs, Bruce sat and leaned back. He considered putting his feet up on the table but he thought better of it. Tony had never cared about where he put his feet up, but something told him Meg wouldn't be the same way."Did you sleep well?" Meg asked."Yeah. Slept pretty good. Very comfortable couch, by the way," Bruce commented. "By the by, how long have you been foster parenting?" he asked.The question seemed a little out of the blue but it was an easy one to answer."A little more than ten years," Meg answered."Any complaints?" Bruce continued to question.Meg placed the cereal box down on the table before looking up at Bruce. "Is this an interrogation?" Meg asked.Bruce gave a small shrug. "Yes. I guess so. All I want to do is ease my mind a bit more.""I don't think I'd be in the foster care system if I wasn't proven a good caretaker.""Well, systems make mistakes. Things slip their notice. Small things like bruises under shirt sleeves, dark circles under a kids eyes because the kid can't sleep well on some nights in fear of what can happen..."The humor was gone from Bruce's face and was replaced with a quiet rage. It was a look that unsettled Meg.She hoped that she would not have to see that look again. Or at the very least, be the one to cause him to have that expression.Download and discover why readers are raving about Lily Taffel.Scroll up and get the book now! Views: 574
Christmas is a time of joy, hope, and wonder...until the ultimate challenge threatens one of Reunion Gap's favorite couples.
Note to the reader:
As a reader, I often wonder about the before and afterof certain characters. As a writer, I'm able to act on that wondering if I've created those characters. (One of the guilty pleasures of the profession!) Nicki and Jameson Price are two people who made me curious because they're such a perfect couple. Perfect for how long? What would happen when adversity struck? Would they survive? Of course, I had to "test" them.
Couples Like Us is told in two parts: Part One: Before, which was previously Christmas in Reunion Gapand Part Two: Three and a half years later.
Part One:... Views: 574
