EXCERPT

Edward grinned and his whole demeanour changed. Gone was the stern and pushy man, replaced by a charismatic professional. Joy’s cheek twitched as she held back a sneer at his masquerade.

“Joy, why didn’t you go for Thomas if he wanted more?”

Joy picked up her glass and drank. “Because of you, Edward. I kept thinking about you every time Thomas and I were together.”

“This won’t work anyway. I’m not the man for you. I … I …It won’t work. We work together and I’m not looking for a relationship. It’s too hard after …”

“After who? Evanthia? Are you still grieving for her?”

“There are too many complications with us. Ray, Thomas, our work, and yes, Evanthia. It’s too hard and I can’t manage this now, if ever.”

Her heartbeat slowed and her legs trembled. “God forbid. I should be worth it.”

BLURB

Passion becomes peril in a deadly dance of love and death.

Joy Warrier, a talented 25-year-old interior designer, experiences a harrowing ordeal when her colleague mysteriously vanishes only to be discovered dead. As Joy grapples with the shocking loss, fate intertwines her path with that of a handsome architect, Edward Astbury. Sparks fly as they clash, and an undeniable attraction simmers beneath the surface.

Joy’s world takes a terrifying turn when a series of chilling murders occur close to home. To her horror, the victims’ lifeless bodies are dumped in places she has visited, leaving her to question if it’s mere coincidence or something far more sinister.

With suspicion gnawing, Edward’s brother, Ray, displays an unsettling interest in her and becomes a prime suspect. When she rejects his advances, she delves deeper into the mystery, only to discover that appearances can be deceiving, and her loved ones may be in danger. Will anyone survive the deadly secrets that lie within the shadows?

Lucy Appadoo delivers a blend of romance, suspense, action, and twists. If you like adrenaline-pumping stories with strong women overcoming adversity and finding love, you’ll enjoy Fatal Designs, the thrilling fifth book in the Friends In Crisis Series.
