Sure, my divorce just finalized. But the moment I see Maverick, I know I’m in trouble. Sloane, my sister, says that I’m using him like a piece of meat. Truth is, we’re both using each other. He’s a rancher. I’m a stockbroker. We’re both richer than a pound of Bavarian chocolate, but we’re worlds different. Until something unites us unlike anything else. No money, no fame, nothing could match it. Problem is, I can’t tell him how I feel. And then it happens…and we lose it all. Or do we?
Ellie’s a piece of work. Here I think I’m being a gentleman, helping her move out of her marital home, into another mansion. But then there’s an accident and I see a side of her that I didn’t know existed. She puts my gallantry to shame when she steps up. This successful woman is more than meets the eye, and as much as we’re just fooling around, there’s something more to her than that. But neither of us are ready for it, and then I’m blindsided, by the two things that I never thought I’d have and didn’t know I wanted.
…until it’s gone and we’re left picking up the pieces…and Ellie’s staring down the barrel of a gun.

About the Author
Sandy's first job out of high school was as an assistant animal groomer. Among many other jobs in her career, she's also worked at a prestigious winery that many well-known celebrities have patronized. With a college degree in Administration, she has several years of desk work under her belt, including her most current job at an established charity.
Often found in the lunchroom writing voraciously, Sandy has been called a 'writing machine'. Despite her forty-hour a week job, she still publishes at least one or two books per year. With a literary back list born in 2010, Sandy has branched out into several genres.
Married with two children and two furbabies, Sandy is a lover of all things four-legged. A strong advocate of health & fitness, you'll find her doing Yoga in her living room at 5:00 weekday mornings, which is sometimes when new story ideas come to light. Writing, like exercise, is a daily practice for this author. She's received 5 Stars from Readers' Favorite for 'Betrayal Only Comes in Green', and 'The Man with the Black Belt'.
