A Slow Fire Burning opening lines: Blood-sodden, the girl staggers into the black. Her clothes are dishevelled, hanging off her young body, revealing expanses of pale flesh.
My blurb:
Theo Myerson has a secret to keep. What he doesn’t realize is how that secret will set about destroying all that he cares for. Can he set the record straight without admitting what he did? And will his actions came too late to be his saving grace?
