FRAGILE!  Coming out in mass market paperback soon!

Uneasy, she grabbed her purse and slid the strap around her neck, adjusting it so that it would lay crossways over her chest and then she dug the pepper spray out.  Holding it in her hand, Devon climbed out of the car and headed for the front door.  Her gaze darted back and forth.  Her heart slammed against her ribs.  Part of her insisted, Relax.  Relax.

The other part was going, Yeah, right.  Relaxing was so not going to happen. Her hands shook as she slid the key home and she breathed out a sigh of relief as she turned the doorknob.  Then a hand landed on her shoulder. Yelping, she whirled around, her hand lifting up the pepper spray, pushing down–
