Sneak Peek at book 2 of The Overtaking Series

I know, I know, I don't even have a definite title yet for book 2...thinking about The Captive or The Under Trodden, not sure, and here I am giving you a sneak peek at it.

I readily admit I'm pathetic. I can't keep a secret to save my life. But I thought it would be fun to share snips of the book, even though it's not all done.

Enjoy!

***Sneak Peek***

Trenton’s breath was hot on Danielle’s cheek, the sharp metal point still poking her in the throat. She stood deathly still in the dark room, waiting for something to happen. He was either going to kill her, or let her go.

Trenton’s grasp relaxed, the tool lowered and she wiggled free. Her hand went up to feel her neck. Wet and sticky. Blood.

The lights flicked on and she realized they were standing in someone’s living room. Maybe Trenton had a place in the Holodome.

“Of course I have a home in the Holodome. I’m not going to sleep in my office.” Trenton reading her mind sent a fresh wave of anger through her. He set the sharp tool down on an end table beside a leather couch. The entire room was dark wood and leather. Danielle eyed Trenton, wondering what he was going to do with her.

“Don’t worry. I’m not going to harm you.”

She pulled her hand away from her neck, showing the blood to Trenton.

His lips curled up. “I mean really harm you. You’re safe.”

Danielle didn’t feel safe. In fact she felt weak and her legs wobbled.

With a wave of his hand, Trenton said, “Sit.”

She obeyed, sinking into a large leather chair. Trenton pulled his cloak off and walked over to the window to pull back the dark curtain. “It’s late. You should probably get some rest. We’ve got a big day tomorrow.”

The way he said it made her skin crawl, and she shrunk into the chair. “What are you going to do to me?”

Trenton glared at her. “What kind of person do you think I am? I told you I’m not going to hurt you. In fact, tomorrow I’m taking you somewhere you’ll be extra safe.”

Danielle didn’t like the sound of that.

“Don’t be frightened. I’ll be right here.” Trenton dragged a chair in front of the door and sat in it. Then he started fiddling with his watch.
