Standing at the gravesite, I stare at the coffin, my mom inside. Dead. I don’t understand. Why did she do it? Leave me and Dad?           I glance at my father next to me, tears running down his face, and my own stay clumped in my throat. An ache spreads through my whole body.            Memories of a few days before trying to wake up Mom send the terror through me all over again. I close my eyes, not wanting to remember, only to picture her sprawled on her bed, an empty bottle of pills next to her.            I rub my hands across my face, trying to scrub the image from my mind.            As the crowd thins, my aunt approaches Dad. “I have some ladies from the church lined up to bring food over. Are you sure you don’t want Bob and me at your house today? As...

Chapter One from Dangerous Pursuit by Margaret Daley As Samantha Prince leaned forward to straighten the books on a lower shelf, her long braid fell across her shoulder. Impatiently she flipped it back, considering again whether she should cut it short. Some people called her hair-color auburn; she called it red. Fiery-haired auburns were the heroines in the romance books she read. The color did not describe her. “Samantha, what do you think of this book? I’m going out of town again and need something to keep me warm at night,” a stylish businesswoman in her forties said. “A very good mystery, Mrs. Carson, but I wasn’t impressed with the main character. Not enough backbone to get out of all the scrapes he and the heroine got into.” “It sounds like more adventure...

Chapter One-Captive Hearts by Margaret Daley  “You lost them?” Kate Remington spun about to face her brother in his office.  Thomas shrugged. “I’ve searched everywhere. They aren’t here.” He swept his arm wide to indicate the pile of papers, magazines, and books on his large mahogany desk.  “How would you know? This place could definitely use some organization.”  “And you’re the one to do it?” Thomas laughed, his frown replaced by a gleam of amusement in his eyes. “I hate to break the bad news to you, but you’re the worst of the Remingtons when it comes to organization. Passed down through the family and when it got to you, there was none left.”  Kate narrowed her green eyes. “At least I don’t lose my photographs.”  “You aren’t going to forget this, are you?” ...
