THE CAR WAS going into the water. It teetered on the edge, rocking back and forth, the ocean crashing beneath her, the storm raging in its intensity.

Fear closed Sarah’s throat, sucking the air from her lungs, and pain knifed through her ankle. Someone had intentionally hit her—someone who wanted to kill her.

The front of the car was smashed in, her foot trapped, while rain slashed the rooftop, mingling with the sounds of thunder. Forcing air through her nose, she fought the panic. She had to think.

She slowly tried to pull her foot free, but the car rocked forward, and she clutched the steering wheel, trying desperately to lean back so the car would level off.

Dear God, she was going to die.

She glanced over the embankment and saw the waves crashing against jagged rocks. How far down was the water? How deep? Several hundred feet, she guessed. If the car crashed, would the impact kill her?

If not, maybe she could climb out the window.

Holding her breath, she pulled her leg again, but her foot was wedged between the brake and the accelerator. A sob of frustration caught in her throat.

Would she die so soon after having her hearing restored? When the world had just opened up to her? Before she experienced love or had a baby?

Before she found out what had happened to Adam’s sister? Before she experienced the thrill of lying in a man’s arms?

Of lying in Adam Black’s arms?

His handsome, anguished face rose in her mind.

She wanted to kiss him just one more time.

Clenching her fists for control, she formed a plan. The car screeched, tires spewing dirt and grass. The wheels slipped, and the sharp sound of the axle grinding splintered the air. She had to do something.

Silently she counted—one, two, three. She reached for the doorhandle, giving her leg a sharp yank at the same time. Her ankle pulled free, but the car pitched forward, and crashed into the rocks.
