She had known that there was more than one answer that could hurt her.

Unfortunately, she’d gotten the one that would hurt the most. She hadn’t wanted to be unfaithful to Wyatt, hadn’t wanted Boudreaux to lean in and kiss her and declare his undying love. But she’d give anything right now if he had.

She made it to Wyatt’s front door without giving in to the clenching she felt in her chest, managed to fumble the key into the lock before she gave way to the tightness in her throat and let out a sob that frightened her with its force. Then she slammed the door behind her.

A few words of thanks:

Thank you to my patient and tireless editor, Tammi Labrecque of LarksandKatydids.com, to my wonderful cover designer, Shayne Rutherford of DarkMoonGraphics.com, and to book designer goddess Colleen Sheehan of WriteDreamRepeat.com. You are the trifecta of publishing.

Special thanks, as always, to my technical advisor and friend John Solomon, who shares his experience with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, and his love of Apalach, so generously.

To my beautifully dysfunctional family of authors in Author’s Corner: Thank you for your constant supply of encouragement, support, laughter, knowledge and tubesteak. I love you, each and every one.

Finally, to my children, Michael, Kat, Chelsey, Matthew and Rebecca; it is because of you that I write, and it is only because of you that I can.
