Cold Jena Gray

Coldness is in the eyes of the beholder....Is Jena Parker a cold person? Does something dark curl within her, waiting to spring? It doesn’t appear so on the surface.

Even so, there is a creeping sensation she feels inside—something hopeless, something dark. Worse, it seems her neighbor spying on her. One day, Jena catches the strange Mr. McNeil watching her.

Someone is out to get this eighteen year old, and she knows it. Even her dreams are warning her to beware, but what does Jena have to fear more—predators who mean to harm or her internal monster, poised to attack? Even a nice, normal girl can be pushed over the edge by horrendous circumstance. What is Jena willing to do to get her father back? With no one left to trust, Jena Parker may lose more than a parent; she could possibly lose her mind.
