No money. No real home. No way to help her dying twin sister. Shaina Windsor only has one option left—criminal activity. She’s scoped out her mark. She’s planned her attack. She’s cursed her Aunt Patty whose financial debts put Shaina and her sister, Heather, in this predicament. If she completes this shameful act, is she any better than her aunt? The time for morality has long since past though. If she loses Heather, Shaina can add family to the list of things she doesn’t have.
But Shaina’s sister isn’t the only person who needs help. When Shaina encounters café owner and writer Marco Vieira, he’s in trouble—the life and death kind. Now she’s got a big choice to make. She can continue with her debut in crime and finally afford medical treatment for Heather or she can come to Marco’s aid and save a complete stranger. What Shania really wants is someone to rescue her for once.

Christine DePetrillo can often be found hugging trees, conversing with dragonflies, and walking barefoot through sun-warmed soil. She finds joy in listening to the wind, bathing in moonlight, and breathing in the fragrances of things that bloom. If she had her way, the sky would be the only roof over her head.
Her love of nature seeps into every story she tells. As does her obsession with bearded mountain men who build, often smell like sawdust, and know how to cherish the women they love. Today she writes tales meant to make you laugh, maybe make you sweat, and definitely make you believe in the power of love.
She lives in Rhode Island and occasionally Vermont with her husband and her cat who defend her fiercely from all evils.
