ABOUT THE BOOK:

Genre: Romantic Suspense Length: 400 Pages Release Date: 4/11/13

Piper Anderson has been given a fresh start in the picturesque town of Edenville, North Carolina. But her plans of settling into a normal life are derailed when she witnesses a prominent judge in her community committing a violent assault. Running from her own past and fueled by a passion to make the judge answer for his crimes, Piper is forced to decide if she’ll play by the rules or achieve justice in her own way. Complicating things further, Piper finds herself fighting a powerful attraction to rookie cop, Bobby Wright. Although she’s increasingly enamored with Bobby, his staunch belief in the justice system is in stark contrast to her own. She may not share his opinions about the effectiveness of the law, but she certainly can’t deny how safe she feels when she’s in his arms or how every kiss leaves her desperate for more. For Piper, the idea of finally living an ordinary life with a man to love is tempting. However, fate keeps placing the judge, quite literally, in her path. Will she decide the only way to win is to be as wicked as the judge, but with righteous intentions? And more importantly, will Bobby choose to let her go, or follow her as she crosses the line and takes justice into her own hands?

Gotchya!

Thirteen years. 

Thirteen years. 

For thirteen years she was consumed by fears. 

Sunny days drowned by tears and through the years she held on. 

Like a baby crying out in the night, wrap her in a blanket and pull her near

Nightmares grasping the neck that held a head so high- 

To touch a sky-- consume me. Darkness.

No wings could fly wrapped up in that harness. 

To be whole again--- if only for a moment

One moment. One hour. One minute. One second. 

Time keeps moving on-- hands tick- tick- tick -never do they stop

Just tick- tick- tick- 

Light it up. Flick. Fire spring anew. Burn this broken body. 

Set her soul afire in the life she use to lead. 

Take her to the river and wash away the nightmares and days when she couldn't hold on. 

Touch the skin so numb to the fingertips of love-- 

Trace the scars long healed--- Battle scars from wars lost--- 

Flesh wounds deep into every ventricle of her heart. 

Pump free the demons trapped inside her hollow shell. 

Be new. 

She wants to be new. 

She wants to be free.... to heal... to love... to laugh. 

New. 

Rebirth the soul long tarnished by those hands.... tick- tick

Give back what was taken, 

Life's Gifts are one to our own and yet....

Hers was ripped away in a flash of a second- tick-

Time moves on yet each day she is stuck- trapped- tick

Break free the grasp of hands, oh father time, let me go- tick-

One to itself, breath deep into this empty labyrinth ---

For Thirteen years- tick-

Time still moves on- tick- 

Thirteen Years- Tick-
