Why
would a woman who has it all throw her life away? Morgan has the
perfect life. She married the man of her dreams. Daniel is smart,
gorgeous and successful. Everything she has always wanted in a husband
and the father of her children. But he’s also overprotective, jealous,
and domineering. Is living with him enough to drive Morgan over the
edge? Or does something more treacherous lurk beneath the façade?
Morgan
A
gorgeous, sweet woman that is oblivious to her own beauty. She’s shy
with men, but a rock to her friends. A librarian in a small town in the
mid-west. She’s been waiting a long-time to find the one.
Daniel
An
accountant in the city who will do anything to be the youngest partner
in his firm. He always gets what he wants and he wants Morgan. He will
pursue Morgan until she submits.
Together
They
rush through a courtship and marry within a year of meeting. Morgan’s
life is perfect. She has a job she loves, a best friend for which she
would do anything and a husband that completes her. But things are not
often as they appear. Behind closed doors the loving Daniel that Morgan
married is jealous and overprotective. Sometimes he’s even domineering.
The Culmination
Morgan runs away – destroying everything in her path as she disappears. What made this good girl go bad?
Excerpt:
Morgan
was still obsessed with Daniel’s locked office door the next day at
the library. Instead of getting busy with her overload of work, she
stared at her computer, trying to work, but not accomplishing
anything as the words on her computer blurred together.
“Did
you hear?” Dawn shouted as she breezed into Morgan’s office.
Morgan startled at the sound of Dawn’s voice and shook her head to
force the fog from her head.
“Jeez,
Dawn, you scared me.” Morgan held her hand over her
beating-out-of-control heart.
Dawn
came over to Morgan’s desk, shaking a newspaper in her hand. “Did
you see this?”
Morgan
had no idea what in the newspaper could be getting Dawn so excited.
“What are you talking about you?” She asked on a sigh.
Dawn
opened the newspaper and laid it over the mess on Morgan’s desk.
“Look,” she said pointing to a column in the crime section.
Morgan waved her hand over the newspaper, caught up in her own drama
and uninterested in a stranger’s drama. “Just tell me.”
“There’s
been another rape,” Dawn was nearly shouting.
“Another
rape? What are you talking about?”
Dawn
sighed and crossed her arms. “Don’t you remember? There was a
rape at that fancy hotel in Milwaukee a while back. And now there’s
been another one!”
“That’s
horrible.” Morgan sank into her chair. Dawn sat down across from
her. She picked up the newspaper again. “It was at another hotel in
downtown Milwaukee, but they’re withholding the location as they
don’t want to scare anyone.” She continued to scan the story.
“They’re calling it date rape. Don’t you hate that? Rape is
rape. No is no.”
Morgan
nodded. Based on personal experience, she could vehemently agree.
Dawn went back to reciting the facts from the article. “It says the
woman was picked up in some bar and then they went back to her hotel
room. The victim, whose identity is
protected, claims she tried to fight off the assailant, but at 5’4”
the victim didn’t have much chance. The victim’s long hair was
ripped from her head in places and her glasses were destroyed in the
struggle.”
Morgan
shuddered. “Dawn, that’s enough. We need to get to work.” She
pulled herself together and shooed Dawn out of her office. She locked
her office door behind Dawn and sank to the floor. Taking deep
breaths, she tried to fight the guilt clawing at her. In desperate
need of reassurance from a loved one, she stood and went to her bag
for her phone. Daniel had left that morning for some conference.
Although she was desperate to call him, she didn’t want to anger
him by disturbing him and settled for texting – hoping he would
respond.

D.E. Haggerty was born and raised in Wisconsin but thinks she’s a European. After spending her senior year of high school in Germany, she developed a bad case of wanderlust that is yet to be cured. After high school she returned to the U.S. to go to college ending up with a Bachelor’s degree in History at the tender age of 20 while still managing to spend time bouncing back and forth to Europe during her vacations. Unable to find a job after college and still suffering from wanderlust, she joined the U.S. Army as a Military Policewoman for 5 years. While stationed in Heidelberg, Germany, she met her future husband, a flying Dutchman. After being given her freedom from the Army, she went off to law school. She finished law school and moved to the Netherlands with her husband and became a commercial lawyer for more than a decade. During a six month break from the lawyering world, she wrote her first book, Unforeseen Consequences. Although she finished the book, she went back to the law until she could no longer take it and upped stakes and moved to Germany to start a B&B. Three years after starting the B&B, she got the itch and decided to pull the manuscript for Unforeseen Consequences out of the attic and get it published as an e-book. Deciding that she may have indeed finally found what she wanted to do with her life, she went on to write Buried Appearances. After moving to Istanbul, she started on Life Discarded, her third book. Between tennis, running, traveling, singing off tune and reading books like they are going out of style, she writes articles for a local expat magazine and various websites, reviews other indie authors’ books, writes a blog about whatever comes to mind and is working on her fourth book.
