About The Book
Title: The Final Word
Series: Bite of Betrayal #2
Author: Laura Thomas
Publisher: Mountain Brook Ink
Release Date: June 5, 2025
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense
When aspiring author Sophie Brooks chooses to trade a vibrant Paris life for the tranquility of a quaint English village, she imagines her final days in the City of Lights will be magical. Sophie doesn’t anticipate a chilling encounter with an old flame—nor does she plan to find a new love on her very last night.
Miles Morgan’s life has been defined as a successful opera singer-until now. His chance encounter with Sophie in Paris ignites renewed hope … if he can figure out his next chapter and if she can accept what his future may hold.
In the heart of the English countryside, Sophie and Miles’ fairy tale romance turns into a noxious nightmare as the darkness of Sophie’s past—and her volatile ex—catch up with her. Both Sophie and Miles must surrender everything to the One they thought had betrayed them as they lean into love and fight for their lives.
Excerpt
Satisfied she was alone, Sophie gathered the two large cake boxes in her arms, thankful a cupcake tower was already here from a previous event and she didn’t have to balance that, too. Careful to keep the boxes horizontal, she managed to lock the car door and made her way over to the elevator, the familiar sound of squealing tires protesting as they circled within the parkade floors below.
Miles. She forgot to check and see if he’d left a message. Better make sure his message wasn’t anything to do with her drop-off before she arrived down at reception. Facing the elevator and leaning her knee against the wall, she balanced the boxes with one arm around them both and snagged the phone from her jeans pocket.
Heavy footsteps sounded and before she had a chance to turn around, someone pressed her up against the wall, her boxes and phone flying in every direction. Sophie’s breath caught in her throat as her cheek grazed the brick wall and she struggled to stand upright. A hand snapped her head back and gripped her mouth from behind, a pinprick jabbed her neck like a bee sting, and her knees buckled.
Help. He-lp. Her mouth moved but no words came out. Her limbs grew heavier by the second until she sensed strong arms lifting her from her feet and carrying her away. She couldn’t hold her eyelids open, and all sounds blurred into the muffle of a car engine.
Darkness took over and Sophie sank into its depths.
