Short Story / 8000 words Detective Amber Dunne hates Christmas. The holiday brings back unhappy memories. She just wants to get through her shift on the gritty streets of Providence, maybe grab up some criminals, and get to bed. But when local thugs try to destroy Meiying's herbal shop, Amber's mood takes a turn for the worse ... * * * Half of all proceeds of the The Year of the Forgotten Secrets short stories benefit battered women's shelters. Due to the strong sexual content and adult situations, this romantic suspense story is recommended for readers aged 17+. The series is structured for readers to read along as I write them to offer feedback and suggestions on the complex storyline. If you're the style of reader who would prefer to wait until the entire series is finished before you tackle it, that is fine! Simply wait until the series is complete and I'll offer the boxed set. I do that with all of my books. The reason I publish as I write is that I don't write full time and it can sometimes take months for me to finish up a storyline. There are readers who don't want to wait - who would rather read along as I go and stay engaged in the process. That way they can provide feedback and suggestions on the storyline. Whichever way works well for you, I provide an option. I'd love to hear from you at my website at OpheliaSikes.com.
