A THOUSAND WORDS by M. A. Fréchette
From the outside, Elora Reverie’s life is a dream. A handsome husband; a passion for writing children’s books; a beautiful home. In reality, she’s living a nightmare of abuse in a house that’s little more than a prison.
On a rare escape to a book convention, she’s shocked to win a raffle for a photoshoot with Vincent Voden, a stunning male model. Yielding to the temporary fantasy is an exercise in madness, especially with his phone number hidden in the lining of her purse. But when her husband turns violent, she’s forced to admit her marriage is truly a sham—and she dials that lifeline to Vincent’s safe, strong arms.
Vincent instantly recognized the hopeless look in Elora’s eyes. His mother wore it, too. That’s why he secretly entered Elora’s name into that contest—to shield her, however briefly, in his arms. Now he’s got a second chance to show her love doesn’t have to hurt. When a murderous crime organization re-emerges and targets abused women, Vincent will do whatever it takes to protect Elora from more than just her husband.
No matter what favors from his violent past he needs to call in to make it happen…

“A psychic thriller that kept me engaged the whole way through.” – Goodreads Reviewer
People are dying across Statton city in unexplainable road accidents. Some are bizarre enough to make investigators wonder, how did they die? The list grows daily with the only connection being tattooed numbers on the victims that increase with each horrifying death.
When psychic PI Craig Ramsey’s adopted daughter becomes the next casualty, he takes the case. His efforts soon conflict with police detective Brianna Cogan, a sceptic who thinks Ramsey’s psychic abilities are fake. Ramsey believes supernatural forces are at work behind the deaths; Cogan thinks it’s something tangible and won’t cop a phony clairvoyant stepping on her toes.

Each day that the killer roams free, the closer the city hurtles to greater chaos.

Without warning, and with the swiftness of lightning, the hammer fell downward. She never saw it coming. She couldn’t even imagine the end she had planned for me wasn’t the end I had in mind. As I reached my climax, the wedge of the hammer reached its new home as well.
With her eyes focused on mine and her movement now stopped, I could see signs of wetness dripping down her forehead in the red glow of my taillights. The wetness at first looked as if it was sweat, but you and I know what it really was. She fell limp at my feet, and I moved to the side. With the white glow of the tag light, I could now see the full impact of the hammer.
