A collection of stories by Debbie Hope
TWO BOOKS IN ONE
Book 1
Delicious Prey
SAVANNAH
I’m trapped in a loveless marriage to a criminal defense attorney, surrounded by wealth but starved for affection.
Every day is a dull, suffocating repetition of pretending to be the perfect wife. I want to leave, but with no family and nowhere to go, I’m stuck.
Until Conor shows up again.
He’s one of my husband’s friends, a detective with a dark edge.
From the moment our eyes meet, he sees right through my facade, unraveling all my secrets with just a look. I know I should stay away, but the magnetic pull between us is impossible to resist.
Conor doesn’t just see my pain—he revels in it, feeding off the cracks in my soul.
He says he wants to save me, but I can’t shake the feeling that he’s the most dangerous man I’ve ever met.
CONOR
I’ve dedicated my life to serving justice where the system fails.
I hunt down the monsters who slip through the cracks—pedophiles, rapists, murderers.
But Savannah is a different kind of obsession, one I’ve watched from the shadows for far too long.
Her husband thinks he can keep her on a leash, but I see her for who she truly is: a broken bird desperate for freedom.
I won’t stop until she’s mine.
I don’t care if I have to tear her world apart to have her.
I don’t care if I have to become the villain in her story.
Because once she’s in my arms, there’s no going back.
And if anyone, even her husband, tries to take her from me?
I’ll make sure they never see the light of day again.
ENDS IN CLIFFHANGER
BOOK 2
SAVANNAH
I’m back with my husband, Dave Collier, and he’s threatened my baby. Conor’s baby, and I’m searching for that freedom, the putridness of Dave is killing me and what he has planned for us. I had one brief glimpse and it was snatched away. I can’t take it and I might not have a choice but to end us.
I’m losing myself in what Dave wants and I’m afraid he’ll get all of me. Even my life.
CONOR
Dave has kidnapped Savannah. She says she went back to him of her own free will. I know he forced and threatened her.
I got her out of there, but somehow he got her back. Again.
Reel is the best there is for finding information, somehow Dave has found someone better.
I don’t know how to save her this time. Yet. But, I will. I promised her I would keep her safe and I will. I only have to figure out how to do that for her and my baby.
