Liam is running for his life. He's been so many people he can hardly remember who he really is. Walking away from the only woman he's loved to keep her safe; he wonders if he will ever be able to have a normal life. With the trial starting in a week, all he can wish for is to put his demons and secrets in the past. With her new job on the West Coast waiting for her, Finn packs her few belongings and says goodbye to her past ghosts. She just has to do one last thing before she leaves. When Finn mistakes the man with the dark shaggy hair and the crooked smile, for her blind date, she thought her BFF Marley finally got this one right. He was beyond beautiful, but she was leaving town in the morning and she doesn't do one-night stands. Although, for him, she might reconsider. Liam can't take his eyes off of the gorgeous leggy blond that walked into the restaurant. And when she suddenly sat down in front of him he couldn't believe his luck. They laughed and talked as if they had always known each other, but, when her phone rang, it all comes crashing down, literally. Liam couldn't get the mysterious woman out of his head. He knew he could never be with her, he'd learned that the hard way with Callie, besides, he's just passing through; he has to testify in a week, and God only knows if he'll make it back alive. Finding out the man in front of her wasn't her blind date, Finn started to question her judgment. Why didn't he tell her he wasn't her date? She should've known better than to think Marley would set her up with someone like him. He was perfect. Can life get any worse? But with him, it was the first time in a long time, she felt safe, unafraid, and normal. ***THIS IS A STANDALONE BOOK IN A SPINOFF SERIES***
About the Author: As an Amazon Bestselling author, SM Stryker writes stories that are deeply emotional with subjects that lean toward the taboo; subjects she learned and lived as a child, then later as a teen and young adult. She has always believed that things happen for a reason. That is the message she often tries to portray. Her books are filled with raw emotion and grit, but also inspiration, showing the reader, they too, can survive all things. Outside of writing... is there such a thing? I'm just a regular country girl from the Pacific Northwest. I've been married to the love of my life, for almost thirty-one years, have four beautiful daughters and four amazing grandbabies. I don't watch a lot of television other than football and softball. I'd like to say I love working out, but... Nah. I'm a huge creature of habit, most evenings, and weekends you can find me in front of my computer. I try to read every day or listen to books on audio when I can't. I'm quiet and shy by nature, which, if you don't know me, some take it as if I were a bitch but ask me about my books, and you will see me bloom and open like a rose. If I don't get the chance to write ... watch out. Writing is my solace. I love diverse types of music and when I get hooked on a group, I'll listen to them and only them for months at a time. Playing their CD on incessantly. I learned a few years back, that life is unpredictable and not to take your loved ones for granted, you never know what each day will bring. So, hold tight to your loved ones, tell them you love them, while you have the chance.
