Set Free
Second Chance Series
By Kelly Collins
Genre: Contemporary Romance with an 18+
warning
One ex-convict, one detective, one ranch, one hell of
a ride.
When twenty-four-year-old Mickey Mercer walked out of
the Denver Women’s Correctional Facility she had two things on her mind: the
friends she left behind and the rough road ahead.
She had a failing ranch, a rundown home, and an angry
ex-boyfriend determined to crush her. That was until a stranger appointed
himself her personal savior.
Detective McKinley’s job was to protect and serve. His
life was consumed by work until he found Mickey walking down a dusty road. She
was a mess and in trouble, and there was nothing sexier than trouble. Mickey
was everything he wanted, but nothing he needed. That was the lie he told
himself.
Set Free is a story about love, hope, and redemption.
Sometimes, people aren’t what they seem. Sometimes, they’re better.
I resigned myself to hoofing it up the road. Step by
step, I distanced myself from the prison. The farther I got, the better I felt.
My meager steps turned into long strides. My rounded shoulders straightened.
With each step, the dirt I kicked up buried my past.
Twenty minutes later, the prison faded from view. The
road ahead twisted and turned with nothing in sight. Leaving the confines of
the Denver Women’s Correctional Facility, I didn’t expect my lack of resources
to confine me in a new type of hell.
The sun sat high in the sky and I was well on my way
to sunburnt limbs. Leaning against a signpost on the side of the road, my eyes
searched for cars leaving the prison. Maybe someone would be kind enough to
give me a ride.
The hot breeze rattled the sign above my head. When I
looked up, I laughed. It said Correctional facility area. Do not pick up
hitchhikers. I continued on the dusty path, knowing that the universe had just
flipped me off.
