This book is a work of fiction and any resemblance to persons, living or dead, or places, events or locales

is purely coincidental. The characters are productions of the authors’ imagination and used fictitiously.

Warning:

The following material contains graphic sexual content meant for mature readers. This story has been

rated S-ensuous by a minimum of three independent reviewers.

Ellora’s Cave Publishing offers three levels of Romantica™ reading entertainment: S (S-ensuous), E (E-

rotic), and X (X-treme).

S- ensuous love scenes are explicit and leave nothing to the imagination.

E- rotic love scenes are explicit, leave nothing to the imagination, and are high in volume per the overall

word count. In addition, some E-rated titles might contain fantasy material that some readers find

objectionable, such as bondage, submission, same sex encounters, forced seductions, and so forth. E-rated

titles are the most graphic titles we carry; it is common, for instance, for an author to use words such as

“fucking”, “cock”, “pussy”, and such within their work of literature.

X- treme titles differ from E-rated titles only in plot premise and storyline execution. Unlike E-rated titles,

stories designated with the letter X tend to contain controversial subject matter not for the faint of heart.

Wicked Memories

Chapter One

The news of the day as Ryder Jackson walked into Gracie’s Diner was that Kelly

Montgomery had returned home and was currently at the cemetery. While waiting

impatiently for his coffee, Ryder thought about Kelly. About the gangly teenager she

had been, all wide eyes and smiles. So much had changed since then.

“Mornin’, Sheriff Jackson,” Gracie Macomber greeted as she handed Ryder a

steaming, to-go cup of coffee. She was looking at him with a bit of pity in her eyes but

she never opened her mouth to begin a conversation or dwell on Kelly’s return. Ryder

was grateful Gracie wasn’t the type to push or gossip.

It still felt weird for her to call him Sheriff Jackson when at some point in time

during his childhood, she’d more than likely changed his diapers. “Thanks, Gracie.”

With his cup in hand, Ryder left the diner. He had no desire to get involved in the

speculation of what had really happened on that tragic night so long ago. His memories

were clear about what had happened. He’d spent too many nights awake dwelling on

it, reliving it, to want to hear others do the same.

He drove the two-mile trip up Main Street on his way out of town, looking through

his windshield as people moved along the sidewalk. Small-town life was something

Ryder would never give up. The thought of dealing with traffic on a daily basis made

him shudder. Before he could stop them, his thoughts once again turned to Kelly.

Ryder’s head was pounding, his stomach in turmoil, but most of all, his anger

boiled anew. Memories better left behind nearly blinded him, their intensity was so

strong.

He wanted to rage, to scream, to wring his hands around Kelly’s neck and watch

until her eyes were left blank and lifeless, just as his sister’s had been. Not an overly

violent man, the fierceness of his need to see her suffer almost took him to his knees.
