WILD [JENLISA]

Sneak Peek

"It may not be like me to do stupid things, but I did this. Me. I decided to get away for an hour because I wanted some privacy. It is what it is, and I'm sorry. We'll talk about it when I get home. Okay?"

Sighing, she said, "Fine."

Jennie picked up her house keys and threw open the front door. Her terse goodbye to her died in her throat. Standing on the porch was a man whose face she'd never seen before, yet she recognized him immediately.

Jennie quickly stepped back and moved to close the door, but he shouldered his way inside, shoving her backward hard enough to knock her to the floor. Her cell phone clattered out of her hands and skidded across the hallway, coming to rest beneath a small end table.

For a terrifying instant she couldn't breathe. Couldn't open her mouth, couldn't force out sound. Then her lungs started working and she screamed, "Irene!"
