Final Masquerade

by Cindy Davis (Editor), Cindy Davis

Overview

Paige sees her fiancé murder his associate. And he knows she saw.

Paige Carmichael must've had a premonition that her life was about to take a turn for the worse.

One of the books she read was How to Change your Identity and Hide from Anyone.

Then she saw her fiancé murder his best friend and associate. And call in one of his flunkies to remove the body. This wasn't what she signed up for when she agreed to marry Stefano Santangelo. Sure, she knew he was in the mob, but he'd sworn it was numbers running and things like that.

Not about to leave the four-year relationship without something to show for it, Paige takes one of his precious antique coins and $750K from his safe, and runs. She changes her hair, her walk, the kinds of foods she eats. Yet, he keeps finding her.

One day she meets Christian Charles Beauchamps. Her savior. He's driving a truck to make money to open a landscaping business. He's handsome and charming, and eventually convinces her to confide in him.

But when she sees him whispering to a suspicious bearded guy, she takes off again--with all of them hot on her tail.

Can Paige finally escape Stefano's grasp and have a normal life?

She doesn't want to be next, so she runs, taking $750K from his safe.

Read an Excerpt

As she waited at the crosswalk two blocks west of her hotel, the familiar sound of a diesel engine welled behind her. Paige spun around, crashing into a dark suited gentleman with a cell phone to one ear. The phone clattered to the sidewalk and broke in dozens of pieces. She muttered an apology as a bright yellow tractor-trailer bore down on the intersection. Paige stepped off the sidewalk and into the street.

The semi screamed to a stop not two inches from her left shoulder. Immediately horns began honking. Paige, who'd frozen at the sight of the bright chrome grill in her face, felt herself being wrapped in strong arms and dragged onto the sidewalk.

She knew she was sobbing but couldn't hear the sound of it over the horns and the shouting. She melted against the plaid cotton shirt. The arms tightened. His head bent against hers.

"Chris."

His lips brushed her left ear. "I've looked everywhere for you."

A loud pop. Then another. Something screeched past her ear. Paige was suddenly heaved sideways. Her elbow jolted up into her shoulder as she slammed to the sidewalk. More gunshots rang out. Something heavy landed on top of her, punching the air from her lungs.
