Description:

No longer existing, trudging through each day with her head down, Maryanne Appleton is finally enjoying her life.  After escaping her pimp, Carl, years ago and being on her own she is grateful to find a friend in Leanna Dixon.

Things change when Maryanne meets Wyatt Jones, a seductive, love ‘em and leave ‘em type.  While Wyatt’s job as an Austin Police SWAT member often puts him in danger, he never expected to be in danger when a part of Maryanne’s past resurfaces.

Endangering everything she has worked for and those who love her, Maryann will need to decide if she can truly overcome her past or continue to run from the nightmares.

Blurb #1:

“Bring me a double shot of Jack,” Maryanne’s voice pulls him from his trance, “and a Bud Ice too.”

Wyatt flips his head to the left to look at her.  “I don’t think so.”

“What?”  She looks at him, her eyes as wide as a doe.

“Not on an empty stomach.  You’re not drinking until you’ve eaten something.”

“Yes, master,” she drags out the words as she mocks him, “bring me a cheeseburger with an order of loaded fries.  Hold the ketchup and tomatoes.”  

Turning back to Wyatt she adds, “Does that make master happy?”

Blurb #2:

Tears fall faster now as Maryanne is forced to think about Wyatt.  Is he still alive?  Have they gutted him?  Will he save me?  Maryanne wishes, more than ever that she’d left Austin yesterday afternoon when Wyatt showered.  She knew.  She had a premonition that something bad was going to happen to those that she loved.  Now, Leanna will come home to two dead friends all because Maryanne couldn’t bear to leave them.  

Blurb #3:

He turns, ever so slowly, and stands face to face with the woman who would be the death of him.  He knew it the moment her father traded her for his eight ball of dope.  This little angel that came to him full of innocence and life would eventually become his angel of death.  She had almost incarcerated him or nearly killed him on several occasions.  He should’ve left her be.  He should’ve just packed up his girls and left Austin the day he found her at the Double Deuce.
