BLURB:
A Starr gone. A
team betrayed.
You never know who your true friends are until a gun’s
pointed at you. One will take a bullet, and the other will pull the trigger.
Starr learned that lesson the hard way.
The perfect smile. A killer attitude. General Treadwell wanted
nothing more than to turn Starr Bishop into the ideal assassin, but she’s far
more valuable as Jessica Chamberlain, granddaughter and heir to Chamberlain
Chocolates. Luckily, he’s found two enthusiastic replacements. They lack Starr’s
intelligence, but no matter, they possess their own weapons of persuasion along
with a flair for the dramatic, and that’s never a bad thing.
Di, along with Christian, Frank, Ben and Coda, are determined to
keep Starr safe, but the depths of betrayal crack the very foundation of the
team. When Starr becomes a pawn in a game of power, money, and
manipulation, Di channels her WWSD (What Would Starr Do) to rally the team. She
owes her best friend that much. No... More.
Starr
While we say our goodbyes to Coda and Ben, Jude
borrows Christian’s phone to order the pizza. “Great, thanks,” I hear him say.
“It’ll be ready in about a half an hour. It takes about fifteen to get there.
Hey Christian, want to go for a ride to pick it up?”
Christian pushes up from the floor. “Sure.”
At the sound of his voice, my heart races. “I don’t
think you should go.”
“Starr, it’s just pizza.”
I reach for his hands and pull him down next to me.
“Forget the pizza.”
He leans in and whispers, “Starr, it’s just pizza
and besides, we don’t want to leave Jude alone and I’m not sending Di in my
place.”
I glance over at Di.
No, she’s been through too much. Much too much. My
stomach twists in knots. “I’ll make it up to you later,” he promises.
“Please don’t go,” I whisper and throw my arms
around him. I find his lips with a wild desire never to let him go. I know it’s
silly. He’s just going for pizza, but the way my life’s been rolling lately,
I’m not taking any chances.
“Come on,” Jude says with a laugh in his voice.
Dissimilar from his usual annoyed reaction. It only makes me more nervous.
“Pizza awaits.”
Christian struggles to pull away, but I don’t want
to let him go. Not yet. “I love you,” I blurt out.
He smiles at me. “I love you too. I’ll be right
back.”
Tears well up in my eyes as I watch his
disappearing back.
“Starr, are you alright?” Di asks.
“Yeah, I guess. No, not really. I’m feeling a
little paranoid.”
“Let’s watch a show—something mushy and icky the
guys would never want to watch, and no news,” she warns pointing the remote in
my direction.
“No news,” I concede.
Before Di can change the channel, a newsflash comes
up. “We’d like to interrupt your regularly scheduled viewing for a brief
announcement:…
About the Author:
Kim Briggs once smashed into a tree while skiing.
The accident led to a concussion, a cracked sternum, temporary notoriety as a
sixth grader returned from the dead, and the realization that fictionalized
accounts are way more interesting than just slipping on the ice.
An unhealthy obsession with conspiracy theories
combined with a love of travel and happily ever afters led Kim to write her YA
novel, Starr Fall, where a secret organization decides 17-year-old Starr
Bishop is not only the model student, but the ideal assassin. While in hiding,
Starr meets dark, moody, and dead sexy Christian Evergood. Cue the swoon worthy
music. But it’s not all happily ever afters for Kim. Her NA novel, And Then
He, explores the dark and scary corners of the human psyche. Following a
night of innocent flirting with a handsome stranger, Tiffani finds herself in
the midst of a nightmare she can’t escape. And Then He is available
through Amazon and other major book retailers. Starr Fall released
November 2016 with Inkspell Publishing, followed by Starr Lost in
January 2017 and Starr Gone in June
2017. Her novella, Avalanche is part
of the Valentine Kisses Anthology and
released February 14, 2017.
When she’s not doing something writerly, Kim can
be found jumping into snowdrifts with her three kids, husband, and dog. She’s
careful to avoid trees.
