Teaser from 18% of The Good Kind Of Bad

Most of the computer equipment was gone; televisions and their entrails dangled like dead animals from the walls and the chairs were splinters of wood, their stuffing strewn beside them.

With stuttering breaths I began my pensive journey forward, the glass crunching with each step to the room’s far side. With the crackling underfoot, it was like I walked through a dense forest, the ground indistinguishable for twigs and leaves and moss.

Standing before a series of windows, all missing, the wind bit at my cheeks and blew at my tartan dress, and as I peered toward the building’s edge with my heart in my mouth, I was almost sucked into the chasm below.

 

The Good Kind Of Bad by Rita Brassington

Secrets don’t stay secret for long…

She spent her whole life being the perfect daughter, the perfect girlfriend, and was all ready to become the perfect wife.

But after ditching her fiancé at the altar and escaping to Chicago, she marries smouldering stranger Joe Petrozzi three weeks after meeting him in a bar. At least this time, there’s no chance of cold feet.

Married life starts out great: there’s the new job, a gorgeous, enigmatic husband and money’s no issue.

So what if she’s kept a few secrets from Joe – like where all her money came from. Joe’s been keeping secrets from her, too.

But his might just get her killed.
