BLURB:
Kyara
finds herself pulled into the past needing to solve a 30-year-old
crime to determine if it has anything to do with her mom’s recent
attack. Kyara is desperately trying to find the one woman who just
might have answers – her convicted and recently released from jail,
grandmother. She is elusive but seems to be leading Kyara on a path
to right some wrongs. Those responsible though, will go to any
lengths to keep their secret buried and silence those who know
anything. Kyara finds herself locked in a battle but she’s just not
sure who really is the enemy. Is Ryan, who’s not who he says he is,
there to help her or to stop her at all costs?
Time
is of the essence as the golf course that looks pristine and
beautiful… is also deadly.

Excerpt:
"How
exactly do you know my mom?"
"We
used to be good friends."
The tone
he used gave her the impression that he was talking about something a
lot more intimate. Maybe he knew more about what had happened. About
to step back and ask him in, her cell phone rang. Pulling it out, she
checked the phone number.
"I
have to take this." She closed the door but not before seeing
his surprised awkward look, the one where the person really wants to
say something but doesn't know what. The little niggling of guilt,
that was her mother's voice telling her how rude that was, reared its
head. She took a deep breath and answered her phone.
"Hello."
"Miss
Wilson. Your mom seems to be coming around."
"Don't
let anyone near her until I get there." She yanked open the
door, almost careening into the man who had the nicest blue eyes
she'd ever seen. "I'm sorry. Give me your phone number and I'll
pass it on to my mom."
He
rattled off some numbers that she quickly entered into her cell
phone. "I'm only in town for a few hours, I had a layover on my
flight so thought I'd stop by. I was hoping–"
"Sorry.
The best I can do is pass on your information. I'm sure Mom will call
as soon as she gets a chance." She wasn't about to tell a
complete stranger her mom was in the hospital. She pad-locked the
front door and scooted down the driveway to her car. Jumping in, she
started it and was about to drive off when she realized the man
hadn't moved. She stuck her head out her window.
Before
she could say anything, he asked, "Is everything all right?"
"No.
But then that's none of your business. How long have you known my
mom?"
"Forty-nine
years, give or take a few." He smiled.
"Damn."
She wished she had time to talk to him but wanted to get to her mom's
side. She stomped on the gas and took off, spitting gravel behind
her.
