I have a book review after this post. I gave it 5 stars.
The Honeydripper Affair
by Joanna
Kidson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Romantic
Suspense Thriller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
You see,
Lucy Nevin has got something that people are willing to kill for - she just
doesn't know it....yet.
Handing
Ryan the notebook threw the killers off her scent for a while but as Lucy
uncovers more details about the death of her father, it becomes clear that this
ruthless gang of criminals will stop at nothing to get what they want from her.
And then
Dan shows up. Is that coincidence or by design? Either way, she’s now sucked
into a deadly game between the killers, the armed forces and the government.
They all think that Lucy has the code – the code that will give them control of
the internet. The scary thing is; if you’ve ever used the internet, this is
happening to you right now.
Trouble
is - time is running out for Lucy and she needs answers. What exactly is the
Honeydripper Affair?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT:
From Chapter Three
Lucy had thought about meeting Daniel again a
thousand times, but it had never played out like this. She surprised herself at
the ferocious nature of her attack. She was mocking him and she wanted to rise
above that, just stick to the facts, but she couldn't.
"Look," Daniel spoke again. "I need
to talk to you."
His insistence just wound Lucy up more. "Oh,
you need to talk, do you? Now that it suits you, it's time for a chat? What
about all the times when I needed to talk? Where we're you then? With your new
woman? Go and talk to her now if you need a chat."
"Stop, Lucy. I know you hate me, and I deserve
it, but I need to talk to you. You're in danger. Serious danger."
Lucy did stop. For a moment. But she hadn't
finished.
"Yes, I'm in danger. In danger of punching
you, of kicking your head in."
Daniel leaned forward, tried to grab her hands.
Lucy pulled away, sputtering, and he sighed. But he didn’t lean away.
"Listen, this is about your father. He was
murdered. The accident was no accident. And the people who did it are coming
after you now."
Lucy let the words sink in, her mind a confused
jumble of conflicting thoughts. She started again on autopilot. "I don't
know what kind of game you’re playing this time, but you are full of
shit."
Daniel looked her straight in the eye, silently
commanding her to listen. It was a look she recognized, but one he’d never
turned on her.
"I know this sounds crazy, but I'm deadly
serious. Your father was working on something classified – Operation
Honeydripper. Check it out. His killers think you have information and they'll
stop at nothing to take it from you. I want to help you."
Lucy could feel her mind coming back, shifting her
away from anger, but the rage wasn’t completely subdued.
"You've got a nerve coming back here and
feeding me this bullshit. You didn't even know my father. You’re a bastard for
bringing him into this mess, putting the blame on him."
She was shaking as she stood. "I honestly
don't know what I ever saw in you."
The shaking increased as she marched from the bar
but she didn’t look back.
