Heart of Fire (Blood of Zeus #2) - Meredith Wild Page 0,91
suspense.
“I’ll be there in twenty.”
After I end the call, my every thought magnetizes once more to Kara. For the rest of the drive, I focus my mind—and my heart—on a different activity. Something I haven’t done in a long damn time.
I pray. With the force of every neuron in my head and fiber of my heart.
Because she’s the fire I worship. The single soul in this world, and all the others, who has dared to go to the depths of mine and gifted me with hers in return.
I’m going to find her.
I’m going to bring her back, even if it means diving to the bottom of hell.
Even if it means trading my own soul for hers.
Acknowledgments
Special thanks to my beta readers, Lauren and Jennifer, for providing early feedback on the first draft. Thank you to Scott Saunders and the entire Waterhouse team for their enthusiasm, talent, and dedication throughout the editing and publishing process. Big thanks to my husband, Jonathan, and my mom, Colleen, for always helping push me through the tough spots. Last but not least, I owe a debt of gratitude to my co-author Angel Payne. Maximus and Kara’s story could not shine so brightly without your poetry and imagination on every page.
