More Than Rum (The Maple Leaf Series Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
She cracked open an eye to see only darkness. Blinking several times, she tried to pick her head up, but something was covering her. Something that smelled like sweat and smoke. A warm wet tongue swiped at her nose, and she realized Olive was right there, half her little body tangled up in Hope’s hair. Hope tried to speak, but her throat was so dry only a raspy sound came out. Clearing her throat, she attempted to get up again. Her mind started putting the pieces together. She’d rescued Olive from the pond just before that branch crashed down. She’d walked back toward Adam’s place. She’d thought Adam had been waiting for her and Olive on the patio. She’d been wrong. Very wrong. Suddenly, the covering over her was ripped away, but it was still dark. Olive let out a squeak and tried to burrow deeper into Hope’s hair. “Finally waking up,” a gravelly, familiar voice said. “About damn time. I didn’t hit you that hard.” Her attacker? Why the hell was he out? Quickly, her mind woke up, and she could see she was in a car—her car—in the backseat, lying on her side.
