Finding Melancholy by Lachlan Standfield

Finding Melancholy: A Psychological Thriller: One choice. Two paths. A brutal binary proposition. by Lachlan Standfield

An excerpt from Finding Melancholy: A Psychological Thriller.

The bar was sticky. The bar mat stuck to the bar, the coaster stuck to the bar mat, and Connor’s feet stuck to the floor. A symphony of stickiness to complement the music pumping in the background. The singer’s voice was slightly off-key; a poor rendition of Roxanne echoed through the club. Connor looked into his scotch and swirled it around. Single malt, definitely a luxury he couldn’t afford.

Connor had been out of jail for two months now. He’d been locked up for two years on a trumped-up narcotics charge. Not that he wasn’t a criminal. No, he couldn’t say that in all good conscience. He just wasn’t that type of criminal. He thieved for a living. He’d tried going straight, working minimum wage jobs, packing shelves at the local supermarket for six bucks an hour. He couldn’t afford to feed his pet bird on that. Then, the offer came in. A thousand dollars for one meeting. The job wasn’t likely to be legitimate…

Ruckus by Zoe Dawson

Ruckus (SEAL Team Alpha Book 1) by Zoe Dawson

She should feel uncomfortable, especially after yesterday and what had happened with Escobar, but she didn’t. All the danger wrapped around fleeing for her life seemed to settle in her gut, only upping the tension. She just couldn’t get past the fact that he was so willing to be there for her, through anything. Risking his life to save hers, even with the odds so stacked against her.
His big body was intimately joined with hers, his chest pressed against her breasts. She looked up at him, the air between them tightened and heated. He was so close, and he smelled so warm and earthy. Suddenly Dana felt very fragile and very shaky inside. She closed her eyes, clenching her jaw against her own emotions.

Everything tingled in her from her skin to her mind to her fingertips. Her numbness had been safe without letting in emotions, and now with Ruckus, nothing seemed safe.
And she knew that she could never go back to Jeff. That it was over between them. Had been over for some time. He had been part of her life that she’d numbed, and Ruckus made her feel much too alive to lie to herself anymore.

For so long she’d been getting by after her mom’s death, trying with all her might to live up to her mother’s expectations, fulfill her last wish. Keeping her objectivity in place had gotten her through each waking moment. Her life had been so full of movement and harsh environments. Condemnation and guilt. She opened her eyes. But now her world was filled with this man for the long haul. Because with the danger came her determination to beat the odds, get to Salazar, and kick that bully’s ass. She was getting her memory cards back.
“What just happened there?” he asked, his voice dropping an octave, his blue eyes glittering in the eerie silvery light that broke through the canopy, casting his features in stark relief and making her melt inside like warm chocolate. His concern for her was evident.
“I’m not giving up. No matter what happens. I can’t.”
