A PROMISE KEPT
by K.S. David
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Quinn
McGuire only wanted to lay her mother to rest. She planned to hustle out of
Hayden County, Kentucky once it was all done. The town held nothing but bad
memories for her. She’d never forget the echoes of children’s taunts calling
her poor trash and whispers about her daddy's crimes. With the exception of her
best friend, Jack Lassiter, there was no one in Hayden she cared about - and
she’d even been hiding from him for the last two years. But in less than
24-hours after her arrival, Quinn’s brother gets arrested for murder, derailing
her plans for a quick exit. Quinn has to find a way to clear his name, but
shadows from her past threaten her efforts and her sanity. As she moves closer
to the truth, she just may be putting herself in the path of the real killer.
EXCERPT:
Jack
was an intentional man who rarely did anything that didn’t serve a purpose.
When he trained his shrewd green eyes upward, I realized it had been his aim to
touch me. My reaction to his hug earlier hadn’t gone unnoticed.
Taking
the swing next to him, I pushed off gently and moved back and forth.
“How
long are you going to be home this time?” he asked. There was no reservation in
his voice - no indication there had been a break or shift in our friendship.
His easy way belied the fact that we hadn’t spoken in over two years.
Shrugging,
I said, “Dunno, a couple of weeks I guess. I figure it will take that long to
settle Ava’s affairs - sell the house and do something with the salon.”
The
answer seemed to satisfy him, and an awkward silence settled between us as an
afternoon breeze whistled and tossed dry leaves across the yard. We shared the
same birth date, but at thirty-eight, there was wisdom in Jack’s face that made
him seem wiser than his years.
I
sighed and looked at the sky before speaking. “I’m sorry for not staying in
touch.”
He
took a sip of coffee and nodded toward me. “And.”
“And…”
I hesitated, “you are… my best friend, and you deserve more than that.”
He
rolled his eyes. “And... you are going to tell me why you disappeared without a
word for two years.”
Taking
a deep breath, I shook my head slowly before looking at him. “No,” I said
quietly. “Not yet. I will tell you one day but not right now.”
