Sneak Peek Sunday: Beautiful Criminal

Welcome to Sneak Peek Sunday! This week I’ll be sharing a teaser from the beginning of Beautiful Criminal, coming June 9 at Kensington Books!

Excerpt:

Chinook winds battered the plane, tossing the aircraft around like a dry leaf. Every time he shifted the throttle another gust tossed him in the wrong direction. Left with little choice as the engine sputtered and lost momentum, Gabe opened the side window to view the landscape below. The river twisted like a snake beneath him, and on each side the towering Rockies left no room for a safe landing.

Strong winds blew snow off the mountains, creating tails of white through the sky, making it impossible to see exactly where the mountain ridges started or ended.

The engine sputtered again before the props stilled. Nothing but the sound of the wind howled through the cockpit.

Fuck!”

Gabe held the throttle in a pointless death grip. The Cessna was now in the hands of the shifting Canadian winds. There was no time to pray, even for a man who didn’t believe in God, and he could not radio “Mayday” and risk the authorities finding him. His life and the cargo were now at the mercy of the wild.

He caught a brief glimpse of snow-covered mountains ahead, before the plane took a nosedive into the white depths below.
