Green Fields (Book 2): Outbreak
Page 33
“Bree. Nice to meet you,” I said, offering my hand.
She shook it, no reservations whatsoever, and turned the motion into a warm hug before I could avoid it. Not that I wanted to.
“Sadie,” she replied, letting go. Then a shrewd look passed her face as she kept studying me. “Hey, wait. Is she that girl from the coffee shop? The one you couldn’t shut up about?”
Now that made me wary for an entirely different reason, but Nate’s smile got me to relax again as his arm snaked back around my waist, pulling me against his side. He couldn’t have told her everything, even if they were obviously close.
“She is.”
Sadie’s blonde brows drew together as she studied us. “Weren’t you afraid that she’d never talk to you again after that mission you absolutely didn’t tell me anything about?”
“Looks like I can be wrong once in a while,” Nate answered, grinning down at me. “But not very often.”
“Yeah, keep talking like that and you’ll see where that gets you,” I threatened.
His grin widened as he looked around, his gaze skimming the house, meadow, and rolling hills beyond.
“Right now I’m home, and you’re here with me. I don’t care about anything else.”
In that, at least, we could agree. We were home.
For now.

Acknowledgement
Writing a first book in a series is a mind-blowing experience. Writing a second book? Now that shit’s crazy as fuck.
Writing “Outbreak” confronted me with an entire new world of research. I know a lot more about a lot of things than I ever wanted to. If I botched any details, that’s all on me—the people who helped me know better. Also, YouTube. We live in interesting times.
If you were wondering about the different locations mentioned in the book—some are real. Others got a different name slapped on them, but are essentially cities as they exist now (like Lexington, WV, where everything started). Still others are completely made up, either because there wasn’t anything close to where a plot point had to happen, or I simply felt like taking some artistic license.
This book is special to me in so many countless ways, but so are the people who came along with me for the journey. First and foremost, the man who keeps me on a steady supply of caffeine, thus saving the world from one more raving, ranting lunatic writer. He’s also to blame for Bree’s Beretta, because that was the first gun I ever shot, and it has a very special place in my heart.
My beta readers, Shayla and Jaana. When you’re out there with your back against the wall, ready to send your deranged brainchild into the world, it just helps a lot to have someone by your side, cheering you on.
My editor and cover designer, because without these guys this book wouldn’t be in your hands right now.
Thank you!
