Excerpt: 
Chapter One

Last Week


Gasping for breath, she tried to run, but she couldn’t move. Her feet churned, her arms pumped. She couldn’t move. Why couldn’t she move? The small noise that came from her mouth woke her.

Liesel sat straight up in bed, gulping oxygen into her heaving lungs. A dream. Only a dream. She wiped her sweaty face with the motel sheet. Staggering out of bed, she felt her way to the bathroom in the dark.

This week: I've skipped a few paragraphs and we pick up the next morning after Liesel's bad dream.

Liesel stepped out of the shower and dried herself off with the motel’s paltry white towel. She’d always had a fondness for luxury linen, not the rough, skimpy stuff offered in motels. Sighing, she thought of her nice towels at home.

Glancing at her watch lying on the back of the commode, she saw it was only six AM. Even though she hated to admit it, getting a good night’s rest had made her feel better in spite of the fact that Andy had suggested it.

 If only he didn’t look like a rugged cowboy come to life. She’d always had a weakness for those rugged, outdoor-­looking types, not that you’d realize it if you knew William. William looked sophisticated and city-­born from the top of his stylishly cut hair to the sole of his elegant Italian shoes.

 She did not want to go there. William was her past. Daily she prayed that it would stay that way.
