CRIMINAL

BY TERRA ELAN MCVOY
SIMON & SCHUSTER

Nikki’s life is far from perfect, but at least she has Dee. Her friends tell her that Dee is no good, but Nikki can’t imagine herself without him. He’s hot, he’s dangerous, he has her initials tattooed over his heart, and she loves him more than anything. There’s nothing Nikki wouldn’t do for Dee. Absolutely nothing.

So when Dee pulls Nikki into a crime – a crime that ends in murder – Nikki tells herself that it’s all for true love. Nothing can break them apart. Not the police. Not the arrest that lands Nikki in jail. Not even the investigators who want her to testify against him.

But what if Dee had motives that Nikki knew nothing about?

Nikki’s love for Dee is supposed to be unconditional . . . but even true love has a limit. And Nikki just might have reached hers.

Quick Facts:
I’m a reading and writing fanatic, and besides writing books, I also work part-time as a bookseller at an independent bookstore. I was born in Tallahassee, FL, but I live in Atlanta, GA and have lived in San Francisco, NYC, and Laurinburg, NC. Some of my favorite things are doing paper crafts, making banana cream pies, buying and admiring John Fluevog shoes, and watching movies.

Celebrity Lookalike: People say Jamie Lee Curtis or Annie Lennox. I prefer the Molly Ringwald comparisons.
