EPILOGUE
It has been about three months since she had killed Brent Cummings and she still couldn't get rid of him. She stopped reading newspapers because that's all every one talked about. She would have quit her job if she could, but Mack and Xavier helped her listen to reason.
"Sierra, honey, you need to forget about what happened in th past and focus on the present." Cheryl's voice brought her back to reality.
"I know, I know I'm trying, by the way you look beautiful." She slapped on the best smile that she could.
"Well thank you and you look absolutely radiant yourself." Cheryl stood behind her and touched up her make-up. "We have only a few minutes until the music plays. Now as you maid-of-honor, I am ordering you to help me with your veil."
Sierra was chuckling at Cheryl as she held the head piece in place while Cheryl pinned it to her head. "Are you going to tell your husband-to-be?"

Seduction & Betrayal PROLOGUE
My name is Sierra Ryans and in all my years as a cop I have never found myself in a position quite like the one that I find myself in now! Normally I am great with details and remembering faces but this time the only thing I noticed that the stranger was tall, slender, frightening and that there was a familiarity about him that I could not understand. It was like there was an itch in the back of my mind that I could not quite reach. I didn’t know if it was his scent, which was actually quite wonderful to smell and it called to a place deep in my soul, or if it was the way that he moved. He moved with a gracefulness, almost like a panther stalking his prey but not in a menacing way. Whatever it was she knew one thing was for sure…they HAVE met before! The more I tried to place him the more I got irritated with herself for not knowing where I knew him from. I had no doubt that I would find out soon enough. “You must come with m

My dreams were rudely interrupted by the constant buzz of my alarm, my dreams have been leaving me unrested as of late. I was just about to hit the snooze button and try to get a little more sleep when my phone rang. The caller ID said that it was my partner, Mack. I inwardly groaned, what could possibly be so important this early in the morning?! I asked myself as I reached for the phone. Only Mack would call me this early but only if it was something important.“Rise and shine! We have another one, so hurry up and get dressed and head down to the docks at Rice Marina.” He commanded.“Ugh…you bringing coffee?” I knew that this was going to be a very long day, and everybody knows that I am not a morning person, well almost everyone. Leave it to a serial killer to start the day off with a fourth victim! “Mack, you know that I hate you when you are this cheerful at 5:00 am
Seduction & Betrayal CHAPTER 2
Xavier Collans had been looking for Sierra Ryas for years now, one of his contacts finally came through with her location. She lived in Klamath Oregon; he was eagerly on his way there the moment he found out. When he arrived, he felt like a stalker watching her from the shadows of a large Elm tree. She was headed from the deli around the corner to her apartment located in the Emerald Knight Apartment building. His anxiety calmed down a bit knowing that she was alive, but his uneasiness didn’t lessen. He was so lost in his thoughts about the past that he wasn’t aware of another presence in the area until the stranger was almost upon Sierra. She was almost to her door, so he needed to act fast. As he looked around, he was thankful that she lived on a street that was isolated from heavy traffic, it made it easier to transform without being seen. He would have to talk to her sooner or later about her past but for right now there were mor

The minute I entered the station house, Mack greeted me with a large mocha with hazelnut flavoring. “There had better be an extra shot of espresso in here!” I grumbled as I brought the cup up to my lips and inhaling deeply. A slow smile spread on my face as I relished in the scent. It was good to have a friend that knew exactly what I liked, I thought to myself as I took my first sip. “Are you seriously asking me?” Mack demanded, playfully. “I think that I have trained you well.” I grinned from ear to ear as he rolled his eyes at me. I was very thankful and glad that we remained friends for all these years. I was taken back to the day a life changing event left me scarred for the rest of my life. My dad was frantically pacing around the kitchen, when Mack and I arrived at my house so many years ago. The ringing of the phones in the station brought me out of my memories. “Anything you want to get off

The man turned up the volume on the television, the then o’clock news was covering his handiwork. Sheila Andercroft was a fiery tempered woman, and he had a lot of fun breaking her! Every artist has to see what impact his work has on the public! He thought to himself, not really paying attention to the comments from the news crew. He remembered the day he ‘met’ her. He “accidentally” bumped into her at a supermarket about two weeks ago. She was browsing the pasta aisle. She never suspected what he was like when she agreed to have dinner with him three days ago, he was able to overpower her quite easily. When she was unconscious, he took her to his playground, for a little bit of fun, his fun! An image on the television screen brought him out of his thoughts, he was glad to see Detective Sierra Ryans. He was quickly seeing her as a worthy adversary, he didn’t deny that she was very attractive and did thin
Seduction & Betrayal CHAPTER 5
Xavier realized that Sierra was hard enough to watch over, even without the added danger of the serial killer’s threat hanging over her head. He definitely had his work cut out for him; especially how independent she is. The only true way of knowing, exactly, what the killer was up to was to get all the information. Once he had a nice chat with Agent Miller, he finally understood just what he was up against. He also knew that to keep Sierra safe he needed to help the FBI apprehend this psycho any way he could. He wasn’t ready to leave Sierra alone but what he was about to do next he didn’t want her to see him…yet. He waited in his hiding spot a little while longer just until he was sure he could leave her. The sudden darkness of her apartment let him know that it was safe to leave. He sat in the shadows of the nearest tree that gave him an unobstructed view of her apartment. Once he was absolutely sure she had retired for the n

By six o’ clock, I was really anxious to get home and take some aspirin and take a scalding hot shower! I need to ease the tension out of my body and hopefully my migraine will ease up too. My cell rang as I was digging out my keys, as I approached the front door of my apartment. What the hell could it be now?! I looked at the screen and saw that my on again off again boyfriend, Tucker! I haven’t talked to him in a month, why would he be calling now? I took a slow breath, trying to slow my heartbeat. “Hello?” I was surprised at how calm my voice was given my sporadic heartbeat. “Hey there good looking! It is so good to hear your voice, I have been thinking about you all day!” His voice sounded husky. He had always been able to make her weak in the knees when he spoke. I had a smile on my face just remembering the last time Tucker and I were together. “It good to hear your
