Bad Karma....an excerpt

One of mine...
PROLOGUE

Her bottom lip quivered slightly as she removed the two chocolate candy kisses from the left-side pocket of her cardigan. She could feel a churning down deep in the pit of her stomach. She was sure that at any moment, her knees might buckle from underneath her. She carefully removed the foil wrapper from one of the candies, and popped it into her mouth, placing the other in the mouth of the dead man. The sweet euphoric taste of the chocolate quickly soothed the sick feeling that had suddenly come over her. The sight of blood always had this effect on her. And this guy was a real bleeder. She hated that.

Karma Beaumont glared at her now chipped, brightly-colored thumbnail in disbelief.

"Damn, you!" she said, kicking the dead man hard in the ribcage. "...It'll be at least another week before I can get this fixed." She knelt down beside him and took something from her pocket.

"Slipped your mind, did it?...Well, here's a little reminder for the afterlife."

Karma wrote the words, "CALL ME" across his forehead in crimson red lipstick.

M.A.C., in Lady Danger, works like a charm.
