Marital Privilege

SHE'D WED A STRANGER…

"My name isn't Alec Martin," he'd said. Laura thought she'd married a salesman and that their unborn baby would have the idyllic childhood she'd never had. But suddenly her ordinary husband knew how to do extraordinary things, like fire guns and hot-wire cars. And thanks to a witness, the mob had been brought to their doorstep with every intention of bringing Laura's "husband," Nikolai Stanislov, and his future offspring, back into the family fold.

Now Laura's only option was to go on the run with a man she barely knew. A man who was proving, time and again, that he wouldn't go down without a fight. Or let her go without one.

She'd never loved him more.

Or trusted him less.

About the author

Ever since she was a little girl making her own books out of construction paper, Ann Voss Peterson wanted to write. So when it came time to choose a major at the University of Wisconsin, creative writing was her only choice. Of course, writing wasn’t a practical choice–one needs to earn a living. So Ann found jobs ranging from proofreading legal transcripts, to working with Quarter Horses, to washing windows. But no matter how she earned her paycheck, she continued to write the type of stories that captured her heart and imagination–romantic suspense. Ann lives near Madison, Wisconsin, with her husband, her toddler son, her border collie and her Quarter Horse mare.
