Excerpt:
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned…
Said woman, at the moment, lies flat on her back and ass staring up at the worst nightmare imaginable coming true before her eyes, and she has plenty of experience and training geared toward imagining the worst.
At first, she thinks she’s seeing stars… but stars don’t shoot beams of red or zip around clear blue skies on warm late-Spring London afternoons while targeting anything that moves.

Still, after just a step or two, her vision blurs again – must’ve hit my head, too. Thankfully, it’s short-lived, fading within four or five steps. All around her, even through blurred vision, she finds… devastation and destruction. The pain in her chest as she tries to take a deep breath and evaluate her situation, has little to do with the physical and everything to do with the emotional...
