The reality dropped over me like a bucket of ice water. It stole my breath, robbed me of coherent thought. “So who… where? I thought…”
He smiled, brushing my hair back. “Oh, come on, Laney, you didn’t really think I was Cody, did you?”
No. Not really. The knowledge settled over me, so obvious now. He had never owned that identity to me. He had said that’s who we were to be for the cops, for people in town. But that led to a very obvious and unnerving question. “Who is Cody?”
And more important, who was he?
“Why does it matter?”
I swallowed, finding it hard to breathe with him so close to me. His fingers continued to caress my body, his shoulders blocking the light behind me. “It doesn’t matter.”
He leaned over and retrieved the zipties. “Then let’s make this look real and convincing.”
I wasn’t even sure I knew what was real anymore. Maybe I never had.
“Raise your arms up.”
But I obeyed without hesitation.
He smiled. “Good girl.”
Because the greatest love stories start with blood and end with death.
But in the middle they’re filled with love.
And lies.
Read the final book in the CRASH trilogy with EXPOSE: The Stranger’s Story in November 2016!
The thrilling conclusion to the series is told from The Stranger’s point of view.
All his secrets are exposed as he and Laney’s erotic relationship reaches its stunning climax.
Drew Jordan has always liked the dark, mysterious, and sexy, and she wrote CRASH after a writer friend challenged her to “write without rules.” She lives in Miami Beach, the opposite of snowy Alaska, a fact she is grateful for every day in January.
