I’d like to introduce you today to one of my books which is set in Australia and New Zealand ~ THEIR BOND THROUGH JADE Today’s snippet is in Tiffany’s POV. ENJOY ♥
Their expressions were unreadable, which was worrying.
“I’m Senior Constable Jones. This is Sergeant Harris.” The officer paused for a moment. “We would like to ask you a couple of questions in regard to Thomas Terrill.”
“Who?” Tiffany asked, hardly above a whisper. Her whole body shook, and she knew she had to sit down soon or she’d faint.
“Thomas Terrill,” Jones repeated. “He was up on charges last year for the possession of drugs. The file states you were involved—”
“There’s no way I’ll come with you.” Her voice was louder than intended, panic rising within her. “You can’t make me—”
“Miss Cahill,” Jones said with a calm voice.
“We’re not here to take you with us, but to ask you a few questions,” Sergeant Harris explained, pulling out a little notepad from his shirt pocket, opening it with an expert snap. “Is there anybody with you at home?”
When Tiffany Cahill opens the door to the police, memories of the past return to haunt her. She calls her friend Steve for help, only to be surprised by the voice of a stranger on the other end of the line. She never anticipates the impact this New Zealander is going to have on her life, even more so when she becomes the victim of an assault just a few hours later.
Mat Apanui, owner of a helicopter tour company in New Zealand, can hear the urgency and despair in Tiffany’s voice. They have never met before, but he feels compelled to help her. After an assault on her, he invites her to travel with him to his home in Queenstown, New Zealand, where he believes he can provide her with the temporary safety and security she needs until the situation is resolved.
But can Tiffany overcome her reservations and trust a stranger like Mat enough to fly across the Tasman Sea?

That feeling of panic when the police come knocking on your door. It’s there, even if there’s no traumatic past.
Very true. Thanks for stopping by Arlene.
She’s not making a very good impression on them. They’re sure to think she hiding something. And the plot thickens . . .
Thank you, Nancy 🙂
She’s too defensive right off the bat. That’s going to make them suspicious even if she’s actually innocent. Tweeted.
Thank you, Jenna 🙂
Wow. A dangerous moment, well told.
Thank you, Adriana.
The panic can give too much away. Careful now.
Yes and no 😉
Thanks Jeff.
What an awful situation to be in. Police make me so nervous that I’m sure I come off like I’m guilty of something even if they’re just stopping me for a tail light out or such.
LOL … thanks Cara.
