Anne Mason thinks she’ll be safe living in the Midwest living on a wind farm left to her by her ex's mother. She may be dead wrong. Someone is dumping bodies in her corn field and telling Anne they are gifts—for her! And how can she be falling in love with the hot attorney who represented her ex-husband in their divorce proceedings?
EXCERPT:
Anne peered into her
refrigerator. Not a piece of junk food
in sight. She opened the freezer. How
could she be out of ice cream at a time like this?
She had to get out of the
house. Tonight bad memories hung over
her like a thundercloud. She relived
the humiliating divorce hearing over and over, becoming angrier each time.
She tried to sleep. No success.
She got out of bed and pulled on a pair of jean shorts, a black glittery
Lady Gaga tank top and her Reeboks.
She’d go for a drive to clear her head.
It was close to midnight but with any luck, she’d find someplace open to
stock up on junk food.
She backed her SUV out of the garage,
shoved the gear to drive and moved down the street, windows down, the breeze
whipping her ponytail about her face.
She drove down Route 40 until she reached a section of fast food
restaurants, bars and a mini-mart. The
mini-mart didn’t look busy so she parked in front.
She grabbed a shopping basket and
strode down an aisle of the store picking up Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups,
Butterfinger candy bars, tortilla chips, a jar of salsa, and a quart of soda as
she went. She moved to the refrigerator
case and eyed the selection of ice cream.
She pulled out a couple of cartons of Ben & Jerry’s Red Velvet Cake
then headed to the teenaged cashier whose eyes were plastered on her long legs.
She paid for the items, whirled
around and slammed into the hard chest of a tall man entering the store. Her items tumbled from the bag. The salsa jar rolled across the store as did
the bottle of soda. The man uttered
“sorry” as he bent to help her pick up the items. He picked up the salsa and put it in her
bag. He moved down the aisle to get the
soda that had rolled under a freezer then turned toward her. In a black leather
jacket and snug faded jeans, he was one of those men that radiated
testosterone. And wasn't it just her
luck, or lack of, that Michael Brandt, her jerk ex-husband's attorney was
heading toward her holding her soda, sending her a dazzling smile that sent her
stupid heart racing. She yanked the soda
bottle out of his hand, thanked him and resisted the childish urge to kick him
in the shin. Instead, she rushed out of the store.
She opened the back of the car to
place the groceries inside. She pulled a
Butterfinger bar out of one of the bags and got into the front seat. As she opened the candy bar, she glanced at
Michael Brandt, still inside the store, who was now staring at her with an odd
expression on his face, hands on his hips.
She heard movement in the back seat
then felt something hard slam against her face.
The candy bar flew out of her hand and landed on the floorboard.
“Drive.”
She looked in the rearview mirror
and gasped; a sliver of panic cut through her.
A man in a black ski mask was slammed against her seat thrusting a gun
in her face.

DAKOTA'S REVIEW:
What to say about the first book in the Deadly Series by Alexa Grace? I'll have to say I was definitely intrigued and couldn't put the book down. I absolutely fell in love with Michael. He's the epitome of an aphla male bent on protecting his woman. While I'll be the first to admit the chemistry between them is damn hot, I found myself more wrapped in the action surrounding Anne as her stalker gets ever closer. So if you're looking for a tastefully done erotic romance with plenty of suspense and cast of wonderful supporting characters, Deadly Offerings is definitely a book for you. I greatly look forward to reading the second book in the series.
