He grimaced.
Good God, what have I done?
The years stretched ahead of him like a sentence.
On the way to the bathroom, Vince dropped the envelope into the trash. He hoped that Belinda was doing well in Atlanta, and would find the love and happiness she deserved.
From the quiet yet unmistakable statement of the returned unopened envelope, he somehow suspected she had.

Afterword
Thank you so much for reading KILL THE COMPETITION! I know you have a lot of entertainment choices at your fingertips, so I'm thrilled you chose to spend a few hours with my story. Reviews are the lifeblood for ebooks, so if you enjoyed KILL THE COMPETITION, please go back to Amazon and post a review! With so many ebooks to choose from, reviews help other readers decide which stories will best entertain them.
In KILL THE COMPETITION, the women passed time in the carpool by writing a manuscript of relationship DOs and DON'Ts called I THINK I LOVE YOU. In tribute, I wrote a book with that title that's loosely based on the women's manuscript. In I THINK I LOVE YOU, three estranged sisters (who were all in love with the same man) are forced to reunite and face the fallout of the secret pact they made when they were children. Sisters share everything in their closets… including the skeletons!

BEFORE BODY MOVERS: PARTY CRASHERS

Praise for
PARTY CRASHERS:
~~
"This is one of Stephanie Bond's best books to date, and her narrative sizzles with just the right blend of sensuality, mystery, and humor. There should be a notice on her books: For a really GOOD time, read Stephanie Bond!"

6 ½ BODY PARTS:
~~
5 stars! "This is a novella and starts right where book 6 ends. Many times, Carlotta wonders what her life would have been like if their parents didn't run off and leave her to care for her younger brother. Be careful what you wish for! I won't give away the whole story line, but she gets her wish. Being a Twilight Zone fan, I loved this story even more. I couldn't put my Kindle down. I bought this book this afternoon, immediately called my mother to let her know it's on our Kindle account, and finished it after dinner. And like the first 6 [books], it left me completely satisfied and dying for book 7! Stephanie...girlfriend....hook a sister up and get going on it before I have a stroke!!!!"

Stephanie Bond was five years deep into a corporate career in computer programming and pursuing an MBA at night when an instructor remarked she had a flair for writing and suggested she submit material to academic journals. But Stephanie was more interested in writing fiction—more specifically, romance and mystery novels. After writing in her spare time for two years, she sold her first manuscript, a romantic comedy, to Harlequin Books. After selling ten additional projects to two publishers, she left her corporate job to write fiction full-time. To-date, Stephanie has more than fifty published novels to her name, including the popular BODY MOVERS humorous mystery series. For more information, visit
