There are real monsters out there. The worst part is that they're human.
They took her away from me.
I mumbled a protest through the haze of
pain and exhaustion that had turned me into little more than a zombie. I'll
never be able to watch a zombie movie again without remembering this night, I
thought.
"It's all right - we have to move her
to take care of her. She's hurt worse than you," I was told. "We need
to treat you, too. There's a gunshot wound in your shoulder."
One of the hospital staff looked grim and
came over. She started firing questions at me.
"Name?"
"Nathan Miller."
"What happened?"
"I was shot."
"By whom?"
"A homicidal lunatic with a gun and
bad aim."
"Her name?"
"Caitlin Lockyer."
"What happened to her?"
"Looks like someone tried to kill
her."
Nathan found Caitlin on a beach covered in
blood. Saving her life was just the start. Now he's the prime suspect and he
has to find out who's really responsible. Both of their lives depend on it.
Who hurt her?
Why was he shot?
What did he promise?
Why doesn't his story add up?
Who was the dead man on the beach?
What will she remember when she wakes up?
A
tiny taste of what's in store:
"Stay away from her, Nathan. That girl
isn't good for you."
Stay away from her? I'd go crazy with worry
in a day. "You don't know her."
Chris looked grim. "Neither do you. Is
there anything you wouldn't do for her?"
"Yes," I snapped. "I
wouldn't die for her."
Chris turned around to stare at me, her
mouth hanging open.
"Do you want to know why?" I
asked steadily. "I wouldn't die for her because I wouldn't be able to
protect her any more. What if I missed one of the people who hurt her? I
couldn't take that risk. She's too important."

Demelza Carlton – Author Bio
Demelza
Carlton has always loved the ocean, but on her first snorkelling trip she found
she was afraid of fish.
She
has since swum with sea lions, sharks and sea cucumbers and stood on
spray-drenched cliffs over a seething sea as a seven-metre cyclonic swell
surged in, shattering a shipwreck below.
Sensationalist
spin? No - Demelza tends to take a camera with her so she can capture and share
the moment later; shipwrecks, sharks and all.
Demelza
now lives in Perth, Western Australia, the shark attack capital of the world.
The
Ocean's Gift series was her first foray into fiction, followed by the
Nightmares trilogy.
