Jagged edges of the linoleum cut into her skin. A lot.Ĭrying out, she dropped to her knees. Then a tingling started in her cold feet. The wild forest outside wasn’t as scary as Jim Bob. Panic had her eying the door for an escape. The dishes were too high on the counter for her to reach. She bit her lip to keep from crying, her legs shaking. Jim Bob whirled on Katie, his eyes a mean brown. She pointed her finger at Katie, yelling that having a foster kid meant too much work no matter how much money she brought in, especially since the stupid kid didn’t even do the dishes earlier. A cigarette hung out of her cracked lips, dropping ashes on her scuffed shoes. She was skinny in her ugly blue dress, but she could throw. Dirt flew through the air along with chunks of noodles. Wanda grabbed the spoon off the floor and threw it back at him. Stains covered his big belly and ripped pants, but he didn’t care about clothes. His face got really red, and the fat under his chin jiggled. Jim Bob yelled louder, grabbing a wooden spoon to throw against the peeling wallpaper of old roses. She wished she remembered what they looked like. Her mama and daddy lived in heaven, and they probably remembered. Yesterday she’d turned four years old and nobody remembered. She’d only been at this foster home for a week. Jim Bob was mad again, yelling at foster mom Wanda about the soup being cold. Katie tried to sink into the dented kitchen cupboard, her bare feet digging into cracks in the faded linoleum floor. “Sizzling sex scenes and a memorable cast.”- Publishers Weekly on Claimed Read more “If you want hot, sexy, dangerous romance…this series is for you.”-Paranormal Haven
