    About this ebook

    A chilling scene. A gruesome murder. Multiple stab wounds and blood drenched everywhere. It's only a painting.

     

    Ginny Appleby doesn't create works of art with beauty and happiness. She paints brutality, death, and the pain hidden inside. Detective Alex Brands will never understand that. He'll never understand her and why she does what she does. Her life has always been filled with terror. And if he sticks around, he'll die.

     

    Note: This is a romantic suspense short story inspired by weekly flash fiction I used to write. There is insta-love. Like, insta-insta-love. When they fall, they fall hard! Doesn't that sound thrilling? You know it does! Happy reading!

    Author

    Amanda Siegrist

    I’m a USA Today Bestselling Author that loves to write sweet contemporary romance and romantic suspense novels, although I am partial to romantic suspense. Honestly, I love anything that has to do with romance. As long as there's a happy ending, I'm a happy camper. And insta-love…yes, please! I love baseball (Go Twins!) and creating awesome crafts. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice, working in that field for several years before I became a stay-at-home mom. I have a few more amazing stories in the works.
