Life became more complicated, and I didn’t even notice. Not until two decades pass and it seems like everyone has moved on except me. Nobody told me that this part isn’t normal. And nobody ever tried to make me feel like it wasn’t, until I wanted something I couldn’t have. I wanted it so badly I made up lies to get me there. Wyatt is the only one that sees through it all. He’s the only one that can see the truth and it terrifies me. Until it doesn’t. Until the lies become the truth and there’s no turning back. And only Wyatt knows the difference.

I’m not gonna lie. It’s completely messed up. Liz is off bounds as far as my brother Billy is concerned. Just because she works for him doesn’t mean that he calls all the shots. I’m just as much a part of this family as he is. And when he finds out what I already know, he’s got no leg to stand on, either. Nobody can give her what she needs until one person cuts her loose. And that will never happen, not as far as Liz can see. But when push comes to shove, and the accident happens, I’m in more than I ever thought I would be in, and I hold the spade, in more ways than one. Problem is, I’m not sure if Liz is ready to set it free, the spade, that is. And then we end up using a spade to dig...six feet under.
Fair warning: ALL Sandy's western romances end with a cliffhanger, so if that's not your thing....sorry!
If you're not into addictive, heartwarming, sexy stories about cowboys and the women that they fall fast and hard for...move on.
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 many books each 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'.
