Panic creeps up from my stomach, constricting my throat. “How soon after?” I ask, when really I want to scream, ‘Did she hear what I was talking to Brian about as she passed through the reception to the ladies?’
“Virtually straight away.” His brow is crumpled, “Is anything wrong?”
“No, I’m sure it’s fine.” I’m halfway back out of the door, scanning the room. The way the area is laid out, she could have made an exit without me noticing. Shit!
I blast through the doors, run down the empty corridor and through the maze into the casino.
She’s not here.
She’s not outside.
And her car has gone from the parking lot.
Lucy
My phone connects to the hands free in my car. I don’t have a choice. I can’t be caught for this. With Brian remembering what happened, I have to get away.
The ringing stops and the friendly voice I’d been praying would answer says, “Hello Lucy.”
“I could use your help, Daisy. I need to hide out at one of your places. Is the offer still open?”
Find out more about Daisy in the first in the new series, ‘Love.’ This also includes a follow-up to Lucy’s latest bout of poor judgement.

About the Author
Hi everyone
I’m Karen, the mad woman who spent hours thinking about the sick things in this book so I could write them down for your entertainment. I have to say, I have no idea where all of this comes from - I didn’t know I had it in me!
Anyway, I digress. I guess you want to know a little bit about me. Well, I’m a massage therapist and reflexologist by day, my husband and I run our own therapy business in London. I deal with a lot of clients with mental issues, although none as bad as Mitchell, that’s for sure.
I’ve written the two other books in this series, Naked Truths and Naked Lies, and also a lovely series of sexy romances, Buckle Up, G-Force and Jump Start.
