Even Steven

Discover heart-racing intrigue in this Thriller Short of romantic suspense.

Originally published in LOVE IS MURDER (2013),

edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown.

In this Thriller Short, bestselling writer D.P. Lyle crafts a diabolical tale that makes a reader wonder just how far the parents of a murdered child might go. Tim and Martha Foster had a perfect marriage and a perfect son in Steven. All that was lost, though, when Steven was abducted and killed. The murderer was caught but is now about to get out of prison on a technicality. And he's threatening Tim and Martha. They have no choice but to get out of town. They meticulously plan how to change their identities, their appearances—they work out arrangements with banks, pension funds, car dealers and even the local police. Tim and Martha Foster simply cannot let themselves be found. But not for the reason most think.
