Synopsis
Learning to find
strength in brokenness…
Fashion designer Sofie
Fields may seem to have a perfect life from the outside. The wounds she carries
are the emotional kind, and since she refuses to get close to anyone, they
remain. She once knew a great love, but a sequence of events forced her into a
choice she thinks is unsurvivable. A loveless marriage leaves her empty,
damaged. The only light is the step-daughter she clings to and adores. After
her divorce, Sofie is certain the love from her past is lost forever. A deathbed
confession changes it all.
Alex Strand is a
successful attorney and the middle child who is in one way or another helping
out his brothers, Nik and Even. All the Strand brothers are known for their
Viking-like stature along with good looks, but Alex is by far the one who turns
the most heads. His movie star appearance coupled with laid back charm is
beyond appealing, yet if one cares to look deeper they will see it’s a façade.
Alex hides secrets well until the skeletons he’s kept begin to break out, one
by one.
The game to catch a
madman continues. Alex is desperately in search of evidence necessary to bring
down Senator Caleb Reynolds once and for all. What he doesn’t foresee is how
his past and present will collide with enough force to shake his foundation.
Hearts need to be
mended.
Time is running out.
Obstacles are placed.
Do Alex and Sofie have
what it takes to overcome?

Excerpt
Her hand dropped with
an, “Oh, I see,” tacked on with not a little surprise.
I glanced back at her.
“No, I don’t think you do.”
“Wow, Alex. I never
thought I’d see this day come.”
“Makes two of us. Go
ahead and leave, so we can put this unpleasant experience behind us.”
“No! You don’t get to
tell me where I can or cannot be.”
I rounded on her.
“You’re right. What you do and who you do it with is none of my concern any
longer.”
Her face contorted in
anger. “Wait just a damn minute there, mister. You have no right to be mad at me.”
Seriously! Who the hell
was she kidding? “Don’t I?” My brow arched at the question. Sofie really did
have some kind of nerve pretending she was innocent.
“I would think after
sixteen years you could find some sort of forgiveness in your heart, don’t you?”
“Hardy har har,
sweetheart. You did the unforgivable.”
As tears began to slide
down her cheeks, I walked away. I had no time in my life for the bitch. That
bridge had been burned years ago, and I would in no way be rebuilding it. C’est
la vie.
With coffee in hand, I
went outside for a breather. My thoughts were a jumbled mess after seeing
Sofia. God, sixteen years later and it still felt like yesterday. We had
planned to elope in Washington State once we learned she was pregnant. There,
you only had to be seventeen and she was covered under the “special
circumstances” term they had. I should’ve been scared shitless, but wasn’t. I
had already known she was the one for me. Sure, a baby and marriage was going
to make things more complicated, yet it was welcomed. I had planned on telling
my mother after we had wed. Not due to fear, but Mom was so worried about Nik
and E that she didn’t need to be worked up over me, too. Yeah, I’d had it all
figured out. Except for one thing—I should say one person. Who knew Sofie was
capable of that kind of betrayal? I never saw it coming. So for her to stand
there in that hallway and say I had no right to be upset, pissed me off more. I
threw the coffee out over a bush with a vivid curse, turning to go back inside
and find the woman who had destroyed my life. She wasn’t getting off that
easily. About time I let Sofie know her actions had consequences.
