Somehow, I drift off to sleep. Not a surprise, I haven’t slept in three days. And, of course, in my dreams, I dream of her. Her gardenia scent drifts into the room. How can that be? I locked the door.
“Come, darling boy,” she says, “you’re coming with me.”
The bed dips as she takes Andrew. I struggle to wake up, but my body refuses to obey.
“Where are you taking him?” I mumble, mostly asleep.
“I have him. He’s safe.”
Satisfied with the answer, I dream of happier days. Elizabeth, the first time we made love. Elizabeth, striking me stupid on our wedding day. Elizabeth, holding our son the day he was born and smiling at me. The dreams allow me to get the rest I need, while I sleep the sleep of the dead.
Hours later, I wake up to the harsh reality of day and come face to face with my nightmare.

About the Author
Magda Alexander loves piña coladas and walks in the rain. Okay, enough of that. Rewind.
Magda loves reading steamy romances which she’s been doing since she was ten. Ummm, that’s not quite true. Steamy romances did not exist when she was ten, and if they had, she’s pretty sure her mother would not have allowed her to read them. She did read the hand-holding, longing-glances kind, along with her catechism, which got her into trouble more than once. Mother Superior was not amused.
Anyhoo, as soon as sexy romances came into existence, thank you Rosemary Rogers, she’s been lapping them up. So when it came time to write one, guess what she wrote. A no-brainer, right?
If you’re still with me, thank you for reading STORM RAVAGED! I hope you enjoyed it. If you did, please help other people find this book by: 1. Writing a review at Amazon and Goodreads; 2.

Acknowledgments
I’ve been singularly blessed by, first and foremost, my critique group, the Crit Divas, Sariah Aarons, Lexa Chase, Lula Diamond, Teresa Hearl, Loni Lynne, and A. Palmer. Without them, this book would not exist. Second, I’m grateful for my family, including my in laws. They’ve been a constant source of support after the publication of STORM DAMAGES, even if half of them are shocked by the “sexy stuff.” Last, but certainly not least, to the many readers who fell in love with STORM DAMAGES. You not only wrote great reviews, but were a constant source of joy and motivation while I wrote STORM RAVAGED. I offer my gratitude to each and every one of you.
