Blitz & Giveaway for The Stolen Husband by Loretta Lost

The Stolen Husband

Loretta Lost

(Marriage Mistake Thrillers, #2)

Publication date: July 22nd 2021

Genres: Adult, Thriller

My husband was stolen. While I was in a coma.

But I’m okay. I swear. Am I a little salty? Sure.

Have I fantasized about revenge? Absolutely. Made plans to get him back? Naturally. Have I stabbed a voodoo doll while crying my eyes out? Just a little bit.

But I am a strong, independent badass, and I am choosing to let go and move on. I got attached to my new guy a little too fast to soothe my wounds, but Lukas is amazing. Younger, hotter, obsessed with the gym, and his body shows it. He’s all I need to forget about my stupid ex-husband.

But when I start getting cryptic messages on social media to stay away from him… and creepy letters shoved under my front door? Cars following me late at night? I am starting to regret diving in so fast…

I may have bitten off more than I can chew. But I would rather be the predator than the prey…

EXCERPT:

Now I wish I hadn’t worn the heels.

“Lukas!” I call out hoarsely, afraid for him.

As I run through the narrow, twisty cobblestoned streets in six-inch stilettos, my legs begin to ache again and remind me that I’m still not in great health. As swarms of people surround me, it gets even worse as my heart rate doubles, pounding so rapidly that my chest hurts. I can feel it in my ears, and it’s making me dizzy. I feel like I’m going to pass out. I try to breathe.

People are brushing past me and touching me, coming from every direction. Spinning me around until I’m lost and don’t know where I am. I haven’t been this close to so many strangers without masks since before I got sick with Covid. And even way before that, I was mostly being careful… I only had a few, select indiscretions that I thought would be safe.

But this all happened to me because I trusted people, and got close to people. The wrong people. And now I’m in a crowd of strangers breathing on me, and I don’t know any of them, and… I’m alone.

“Lukas!” I call out again, desperately. I run in a different direction, trying to find some sign of him.

What if I never see him again? Wouldn’t that be a cruel trick for fate to play on me? To give me just a little taste of happiness, a sampler plate like the tapas appetizers, and then just tear it away completely?

Wouldn’t that be just my luck? Of course.

Nothing else seems to go right for me lately. I should have known that the moment I agree to marry a guy, he’s bound to get kidnapped and murdered immediately when we try to go out to dinner. Why did we post our location on social media? Why were we so stupid?

All these thoughts are getting to me. Worrying if Lukas is okay. Running around the restaurant in heels. I feel so useless. I find a spot where some grass is growing, and let my body sink to the ground. The grass is cool and wet underneath my legs, and that’s a bit comforting, as my body was kind of overheating. I reach down and undo the straps of my high heels to slip them off my aching feet.

I just hope he’s okay. I really couldn’t take it right now if anything happened to him. I need him a lot more than I realized. Just the prospect of losing him is making me feel so sick and afraid—I guess this shows me how much I actually do love him.

I am sitting here on the street corner in my red dress, like an abandoned kitten, watching the people pass me by on the sidewalk. I’m not sure what to do. Should I call the police? And what do I tell them? Would they even do anything to help? Or do they have to wait a certain period of time before they can start searching?

The Sick Wife

Loretta Lost

Publication date: May 17th 2021

Genres: Romantic Thriller

I fell in love with my patient’s husband. While she was dying of COVID-19. She was comatose and I comforted him, like a good nurse. We talked for hours, every day. He told me all his secrets. We planned to start a life together.

Only one problem… she didn’t die.

EXCERPT:

“Camilla!” the doctor shouts at me. “Prepare the ventilator.”

What? But she’s dead. I stand there feeling like a zombie.

“As soon as we get her back, she needs to go on that thing,” the doctor explains. “Immediately.”

Well, that’s optimistic. But I’ve worked with Michael for years, and if he’s optimistic, then maybe I should have some hope. My body moves without my permission to do as he says and assist him. I bring over the breathing machine for a woman who isn’t breathing—her heart isn’t even beating.

And then a beep.

Oh, thank God.

“She’s back,” Doctor Mike says with a sigh as he removes the paddles from her chest. “Welcome back, Yvette.”

The woman is lying there dazed and confused, struggling to breathe. “Quoi…? What happened?”

“You died for a little bit,” one of the other nurses says, squeezing her hand. “But you’re okay. Good job, girl. Keep fighting it.”

Emotion and anxiety floods my chest like pins and needles. That’s usually me, being comforting, being a rock, but right now I somehow feel incapable.

Yvette looks around the room, dizzy with vacant eyes until she sees me. “Camilla,” she says, gasping for air, and lifting her hand. Her eyes fill with tears. “Can you call him?”

I nod and stop what I’m doing to move over to her phone.

“There’s no time,” Doctor Mike says. “Look, Yvette? I’m sorry, but we are going to put you into a medically induced coma right now so that you can go on this ventilator. It’s your only chance of survival.”

“No,” Yvette says tearfully, “please, no.”

“I’m sorry, we have no other options.”

“Can we flip her over on her stomach?” I ask the doctor.

“It’s too late,” he responds. “We’re going to lose her again if we don’t act now. Sedate her.”

“Call my husband!” Yvette begs me, her voice raw and gasping. She uses almost all her oxygen to say his name. “Call Gabriel.”

I press the phone against her thumb to follow this request while the other nurses set up the machine. For a second, my mind is blank. Gabriel? That’s the first time I’ve heard his name. Then I remember.

He’s the Huge Fucking Asshole.

I press that name on the phone to dial him while they put her to sleep.

“Gabe,” she is crying, sobbing, unable to breathe. “Gabe—I’m sorry. Tell him I’m sorry.”

“She’s too excited,” the doctor is saying. “Her heart is going to stop again. Put her under now.”

“Can we just wait one minute so she can hear his voice?” I ask, as the phone is ringing. I stare at the nurse delivering barbiturates into the IV. “Please. It’s important to her.”

“Sorry, Milla. There’s no time. We need to act now.”

I watch the fluid being injected into her veins, feeling helpless. I look over to her dark eyes, and I see the desperation. I see a human being filled with love and need, clinging to life. Fighting for a chance to fix her mistakes. To finish her unfinished business.

And just like that she’s gone. While the phone is still ringing in my hand.

Genres: Adult, Romance

Vivianna

It was Valentine’s Day when I found out I was pregnant.

When I came home to share the good news, I also found out what my fiancé really did for a living.

In the worst possible way.

And then he asked me to help him clean the bloodstains out of the carpet.

I refused.

He said it was fine. He would just have it replaced with hardwood floors.

But I really liked that carpet.

Like our relationship, the carpet was ruined forever.

I knew I had a terrible choice to make.

I knew I had to get away.

Oliver

When I met her she was a fallen princess.

I did everything to help her get back on her feet. I paid her tuition, I bought her a house.

I held her when she cried. I listened. I got her the car she wanted. I bought her Louboutins when she graduated– anything to make her happy. Anything to put a smile on her beautiful face.

She never asked how. She never questioned it.

Okay, so I wasn’t exactly honest when I said I worked in life insurance. I mean, I do help people collect life insurance policies. The technicalities aren’t important.

And she had the audacity to look at me like that! Like I was the lowest scum on earth. Like I was a scrub from that damned TLC song.

I may be a hitman, but I am not a scrub.

Doesn’t she understand? Everything I’ve done, I did it for her. And our baby.

And if she thinks she’s getting away from me that easily, she has another thing coming.
