"Ms. Lee has done it again. She has taken a wonderful, normal, every day woman and made her into a hero. A woman that you cannot only like, but you can love and admire. Redemption is a story that will grab you in the first pages; take you to the top of the hill, and then up the mountain. It doesn't let you go. You just keep reading, and reading until you come to those last few words, and then you want more."--MurderReviews.com
CHAPTER ONEThey had been watching her for eight days. They were meticulously discreet in their comings and goings, so as not to draw attention to themselves. After today, the cloak-and-dagger part of the surveillance would end. They had one lens focused on the front door of the two story brick house. Another gave a wider view of the outside perimeter. Yet another angled toward her first floor office window. They had watched her fingers peck at the computer keyboard the biggest part of the day, every day, except the day before, when after her daily morning walk, she had spent the rest of the morning pacing near the telephone and popping M & Ms into her mouth. They had known the outcome of the call she was expecting before they had listened to her caller give her the incredible news. They knew everything of importance about Kay Diggs' past and future. They did not know how or from whom she had acquired the catastrophic information. But they would know that too before the morning ended. On this Wednesday in late June, the rich little college community in central Pennsylvania would become dimly lit within the hour. The weather forecast called for rain by midmorning. After Kay's walk ... after they snatched her. * * * *"Ouch!" "You told me to pinch you." Kay Diggs rolled over in bed and went nose to nose with her husband. "I'm not dreaming, am I?" She giggled. "I really pulled it off this time, didn't I?" "You did. And probably broke the record for advances on a first book." Kay flung herself onto her back and closed her eyes, enjoying the feel of another rush of adrenaline that made her tingle from head to toe. Once the exhilarating sensation settled down, she flipped back toward her husband. "Just how many zeroes are behind that five?" Bill Diggs' answer was an amused chuckle. Then he wrapped his powerful arms around his wife and eased her close to him. They cuddled and kissed for the next thirty seconds before the alarm clock buzzed and Bill reached over to the night stand and tapped the button to shut off the annoying sound. "We can play hooky today," Kay suggested. Sky blue eyes looked down into darker ones. "You can. You deserve to. But this old man has a house to get under roof." A short kiss and Bill tossed back the sheet with the intention of getting up. That is until Kay's fingers tiptoed along his firm, tanned chest, then downward, getting the response twenty-five years of marriage had taught her to expect. This round of lovemaking was without the foreplay the earlier one had, but the result was just as sweet. Kay lingered in bed, watching and admiring her husband as he pulled on faded jeans and a tee shirt. When he sat on the edge of the bed to pull on his work boots, she ran her hand up and down his spine. Bill twisted around and gave her a quick kiss. "Gotta go, babe. We'll celebrate some more tonight." Kay waited until he was through the bedroom doorway to call out to him. "One more thing." Bill poked his head inside. "I'm listening." "You're not an old man, lover boy." She winked and sent him off with a smile. Once Kay heard Bill's pickup engine groan before kicking on, she flung off the sheet and got to her feet. If she was going to cram everything she wanted to accomplish into the day, there wasn't time to lie around thinking about what she was going to do with all that money.
