As soon as Zack Walters walked into that sticky bar, I knew he couldn’t put a sentence together without effort. To my surprise, I’ve learned that he’s not a man of many words. His actions speak much louder. He didn’t know what he was getting into when he mixed with me. Truth is, I didn’t know, either. That’s been my life. A laundry list of troubles isn’t what anyone wants, especially when it comes to one pint-sized person. It isn’t what I signed up for. It isn’t what Zack signed up for, either. But most important, it isn’t what a child should have to go through alone.
She’s silver-tongued, audacious, and a huge pain in my ass. But I was raised to help when help’s needed. It’s what I do. She thinks I’m a fool, and sometimes I believe her, but falling in love twice in the same week doesn’t prove anyone wrong, least of all me. Despite the alarm bells going off all over, I can’t stay away from these girls, and one of them won’t let me leave. I just wish there were more guarantees. My brothers think that he’ll take her away, and if he doesn’t, with Kate’s troubles, something else might. It’s like a Euchre game. I just hope that my heart can trump their spades.
…little do I know that the Euchre game is going to be trumped by a blast going off on the day that my brother says his vows.

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 at least one or two books per 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'.
