SYNOPSIS:
For years, Jude loved Maya from afar. When
she falls into his arms at his sister’s
wedding, Jude decides he’s waited long enough. But it’s
complicated. Maya’s no longer the carefree, self-assured woman he
once knew. Frightened, vulnerable, her confidence crushed, Maya is
unable to see a way out of an abusive relationship. But Jude Holland
is not going to stand back and watch this happen. After rescuing her
from Carl’s clutches, he plans to stay and pick up the pieces.
But
getting rid of Carl is harder than anyone imagined. Carl’s
sociopathic tendencies know no boundaries. Determined to take back
what is his, hatred consumes him. With all rationality gone, Carl is
prepared to go to monstrous lengths to destroy what he once loved.
Driven by envy and hate, he sets out to destroy Maya. If he can’t
have her, then he is damn sure no one else will have her either.

EXCERPT:
Jude couldn’t believe his luck when Maya
spun around and came crashing into him. After spotting her outside,
he'd followed her in; his progress hindered as he tried to navigate
across a yard packed with partygoers. As he fought his way through
the kitchen, he thought she was going to slip away yet again. It
seemed all day long he'd been trying to speak to her but she was a
whirling dervish spinning here, there, and everywhere. Organizing
photos, straightening buttonholes, helping elderly aunts into cars
and goodness knows what else.
Every time he came within five feet of her,
she twirled around and headed off in the opposite direction, intent
on some errand or mission of mercy. But now here she was in his
arms.
She’s still all hair,
he thought.
He
never understood how anyone so small could have so much of it. It was
so damn sexy; it always made him want to run his fingers through it.
Those curls had a mind of their own. Even now they were escaping here
and there from the barrette.

Angela is British born but moved to

fill her waking hours.

year, when she consumed over one hundred paper backs, Angela decided
to attempt her own first novel.
Her debut novel is set in her local town

first moved to America. A rabid Washington Capitals fan, Angela can
often be found 'rocking the red' at the Verizon center supporting her
beloved team.
