Blurb-
Iris Breslin is on a mission with only one
goal: escape Breakwater, Wyoming, where her family’s horrific
history is common knowledge. New York couldn’t be more different to
her small town upbringing, but better still, absolutely no one at
Syracuse University knows of the brutal murders her father committed
before taking his own life when she was fourteen years old. For the
first time, Iris has friends, a career plan, a regular life.
Until Jake.
Jake Stafford grew up in Breakwater.
Discovering Charlie Breslin’s body on his first day as a cop may
have snared Jake in the Breslin family nightmare, but the truth is
that he was already involved long before. Now a part of the NYPD,
Jake remains entangled in the five year old mystery—a mystery he
intends to solve. That isn’t going to be an easy task, especially
with Iris back in his life. Jake must fight to convince the girl he
loves that his feelings are genuine, and not some sick obsession with
a man who once helped him when no one else would. His hidden secrets
are darker than Iris can possibly imagine, but can she drop her guard
long enough to uncover them?
About the Author-
As a child, I was always accused of being
bookish because I wore glasses- big, horrible, ugly ones with
too-thick lenses. Those kids, the super smart ones who always know
which tender insecurities to poke at in order to provoke life-long
complexes, used to accuse me of reading too many books and that my
eyes were going to rot out of my head (their words, not mine!)
The truth of the matter was a little more
embarrassing: I used to sit too close to the T.V. That was the reason
why I had to wear glasses, but kids don’t really care about small,
insignificant details like the truth, and so I was labelled a nerd.
The label kinda stuck, and after some sage advice from my awesome
nana (nana, you rock!) I decided that if I was going to be abused for
my supposed literary obsession, I might as well develop one.
I guess that’s how I got into books and
reading at an early age. Since then, I’ve been ripping through
books like they’re going out of fashion, which, thankfully, they’re
not. Good thing, too, because I’m a writer now, and books are my
business!
Thank you to everyone who has supported and
encouraged me on my journey- look for your names in the
