Hi, readers! Whether or not you have read the prequel to this, If Only I Could Read His Mind, I hope you will enjoy this. (I would recommend reading If Only I Could Read His Mind, but it's not essential. It will give you a greater understanding about what happens in this story.)
Now, the prequel to this was a love story that I greatly enjoyed writing. However, my passion is thriller, so this has romance, thriller and crime in it. It's called Freefall. This story has lots of excerpts from the pasts of each of the characters, but apart from those excerpts, it is set either two or seven years after Kurt and Blaine first found each other.
Here's the full description:
"Blaine Anderson stands on a ledge. Saving the ones he loves will lead him to discover a web of murder, deceit and psychosis leading back fifteen years, and finding who caused it will take him much closer to home than he realises. An exciting and gripping tale with action, romance and crime aspects. Rated T for dark themes, moderate romance and violence."
I hope you enjoy this story as much as I enjoy writing it!

Prologue: Ledge
I'm standing on a windowsill, staring at the skyline. One step, Blaine. That's all you need to take. Your life's already over, so why not take that step?
The face of the man I love flickers across my vision. He's dead, my fault. I'm so sorry. Everyone who I've hurt, I'm so sorry. Sorry. Such a meaningless word. It didn't save my life, or the lives of anyone I as good as killed.
Hell beckons to me. Can I do it?
I'm about to take that step, when my phone rings. I'm tempted to smash it, but I stop when I see the caller's name.
A ghost from my shattered past.
"Bailey?"
Bailey-or maybe her kidnapper-doesn't speak for hours. Or maybe a split second. I don't care about time any more.
Then, a single word.
"Run."
I hope you enjoy the rest of my story, and try not to read too far into the prologue at the moment; it will all make sense later on. (Sorry about the length, super-short prologues are my style.)
