EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT

from Night Train to Hong Kong by Ottilia Scherschel 

By the time she stepped into the dining car, she had no appetite. 

Evan secured a table at the end of the car and said, “I want both of us to have full view of who comes and goes.” 

They sat across from each other. She faced a mirrored wall that was at his back and avoided staring at her own image. She was not at her most attractive. She had pulled her dark hair into a tight chignon at the nape of her neck and blotted the dark circles under her eyes with make-up to no avail. Her long work hours had left her looking exhausted, and the threat against her life had heightened her senses. She tried to see and hear everything around her all at once. She was on overload. 

“Comfortable?” He flashed that crooked grin again. 

She inhaled. Was she comfortable? No, but she nodded in the affirmative. Was it necessary to be polite? No, she was responding to his charm. Then, her stomach clenched. “What makes you think my attacker will show up?” she asked in a demanding tone. 

“People do things you’d never expect.” 

“Unexpected things make me nervous.” Under the table, she rubbed the bruises on one shin. 

He fixed his gaze on her and said, “They make my business interesting.”

About the authors: 

Jill Jaynes began her love affair with romance when she was a teenager growing up in Southern California, spending many a late-night under the covers with a flashlight and good romance novel. This early addiction stuck, and she discovered one day that telling great stories was even more fun than reading them. 

When she’s not writing, you can find her a) wine-tasting, hiking or otherwise hanging out with her awesome husband, b) walking her two high-maintenance dogs, c) plotting her next story with her writer-daughter or d) working at her day job in her spare time.
