Friends and Lovers

Lauren McKay and Wes Dunlop saw their moment slip away when he left for college. Now, fifteen years later, Detective Dunlop just walked into the domestic violence shelter Lauren runs and the sparks fly, reminding her why she never got over him.

Sylvia Coulter knows if she could go back and give her younger self some hard-earned advice, it’s unlikely she’d get through to the misty-eyed romantic. She’d tell her a day is coming when she fears her husband. Sadly, innocence truly was bliss––bliss with an expiration date.

Just as Lauren and Wes are beginning to imagine a future together, the Coulter’s marriage implodes. When Sylvia flees to the shelter, trouble follows. Confronted by the violence first-hand, a terrified Lauren has to ask if this is where her relationship is about to end too.

Enjoy this gripping and intense romantic suspense today.
