the truth when the killer lets Lainie know he’s found her. When Jax and Lainie go on the run to keep Lainie safe, old feelings resurface as the killer
threatens their lives. Can Jax save
Lainie and help her stay Invisible?
Excerpt:
“Dr. Parker? Your four o’clock appointment is
here.” Sheila’s announcement made me jump and when I looked at the clock, I
realized how much time had passed while I was deep in thought. This was the
last appointment of the week, and I was ready for a couple of days off to
unwind.
I shuffled the papers on my desk and found the new
patient file I’d been reading when Sheila called. The file included official
documents from police department internal affairs for a psychological
evaluation. I’ve seen several of these orders over the years. It’s protocol
whenever an active officer is wounded in the line of duty and is required
before they’re allowed to return to work. I reached for the folder and pressed
the intercom button. “Sheila, please send him in as soon as he’s filled out the
insurance paperwork. Thank you.”
Sheila knew to give me a few extra minutes to
allow time to limp to the conversation area to set the stage and sit in my
customary spot. I preferred not to begin sessions with the inevitable questions
about my own disability. The people who came to see me were in need of my
expertise and compassion. It was all about their healing, not mine.
The name on the file folder, J. McKenna, gave
me a chill. He was wounded in the line of duty, shot by a bank robbery suspect.
Seeing the name reminded me of where I came from and why I was in hiding. I
pushed the memories down. I’m not that
person anymore. That person doesn’t exist. It wasn’t necessary to touch the
locket underneath my sweater as a reminder, but it had become a nervous habit.
The locket was the only thing I kept from that life.
The door opened, and Sheila showed my patient
in and as my eyes met his, my heart stopped for what seemed like hours. After
reading the file, I was afraid of this. How many Jackson McKennas could there
be? The hair is shorter, and the face is
older, but it’s him, I would know those eyes anywhere. Jackson McKenna. He
was my first love and indirectly the reason I have to use a cane to walk
farther than across the room.
I cleared my throat and stood, reaching out to
shake his hand as I would with any new patient, hoping he didn’t recognize me.
“I’m Dr. Parker. Please make yourself
comfortable, Officer McKenna, and we can get started.”
When I realized his right arm was in a sling, I
dropped mine back to my side. I picked up my notepad and pen, hoping he didn’t
see the way my hands were shaking.
“It’s actually Detective, not Officer.”
He sat on the couch across from me and looked
at me with those hazel eyes that have haunted my dreams for ten years, and then
he shook his head.
“You remind me of someone I used to know a long
time ago.”
