He walked in quietly, sighed, and picked up the mail from my doormat. His feet were loud as they padded across the carpet and I squinted when he pulled open the curtains and light spilled into my lounge. Turning, he jumped and gasped as his eyes widened on me.

“Jesus, Klo!” I hated that he called me Klo. Hated it.
“What the fuck?”

He stood regarding me quietly as if he was frightened to come any closer – that was mainly because I had a gun pointed at his head from where I sat on my sofa.

Point and click, he’d said. Point and click.

“Hello, Richard.”

He paused, his brow pinching as he tried to get a read of me. “What’s going on?”

Clicking my tongue, I smiled, but it wasn’t at all welcoming. “How did you get in?”

His eyes flashed as he tried to think on the spot.
How stupid was I?
“You gave me a key, remember?”

Slowly shaking my head at his lie, I chuckled. “That all you got? I gave you a key? Try again, Richard… or should we even the odds? You call me Samantha and I’ll call you Robert.”

Fear caught his breath and he licked his dry lips.

Point and click. Simple, he’d said. Just point and click.

“Where is he?”

Shaking his head, he frowned, “I don’t know…”

He didn’t say any more. His blood sprayed across my lovely cream curtains when I forced a bullet straight through the middle of his forehead.

Apparently it was as easy as just point and click.

Slowly loading another bullet into the pistol, I smiled, gently stroking across the cold sheath of metal.

And then I sat.

And I waited.

For Anderson.

An erotic thriller

After her mother abandoned her when she was just a child, Dove fled the only life she’d known with her younger sister, Serenity, frightened that the authorities would tear them both apart.

Leaving behind a life of poverty and constant hardship with the group of travellers she had grown up with, Dove has no choice but to turn to a life of debauchery and crime to feed their bellies and provide them with shelter and security.

Fast forward ten years and life is now so very different for Dove. Her once best friend and fellow traveller, Flick O’Kane, now a Hollywood star, appoints Dove to accompany him to a charity ball, unaware just who exactly his companion really is.

Both their lives come together in an explosion of sex, drugs and secrets. The friendship they once held close is about to be tested when their past threatens to rip them both apart and endangers not just their own lives but the very life Dove has broken her own soul for – Serenity’s.

We came from nothing and were given a second chance at life, and life was pretty good until it tipped on its axis and my world came tumbling down around me.

My Baby Sister is missing…

Stolen…

Lost…

Is she hurt?

Suffering?

Alive?

The more I learn of her disappearance the more fear implants itself inside my heart, hardening - darkening.

The world is a depraved place, full of evil lurking behind normality.

Behind smiles.

Behind deception and facades.

She needs me and I will do whatever it takes to find her.

Whatever.

Whatever.

To my parents their son and Dalton Moore were on different paths and their friendship would end as soon as college began but it was my brother who had a craving for trouble.

When Jonah found out we broke the rules by loving each other, his consequences impacted us all with immeasurable suffering.

Betrayal comes with a debt and it would be paid by all of us.

One with their heart,

one with their mind

and one would pay in blood
