My brother Will, as much as I love him, he’s a thorn in my side. I feel like I’m spending more time visiting him at the jail house than I am at my own house. He’s becoming more cocky, unappreciative, and then he grows a pair and becomes downright sneaky, right under my nose. But the man behind the counter at the courthouse is no fool. I soon find out that he’s also Kate’s brother, Clay, and if I thought my brother Will’s life was a mess, Clay is no match. Until I learn something about him that I didn’t think any other man could teach me. And then there’s no turning back.
There’s something about this jailbird that rubs me the wrong way. He’s got his sister wrapped around his scrawny little finger and it irks me to no end. Denice is not to be played with, and she’s got nerves of steel. I only wish I did, too. Making matters worse, I find out that my estranged sister Kayla is coming home, and I’m suddenly cloaked with the burden of watching her. It’s tough when adults behave worse than children, and it seems like Denice and I have common ground on that front. But no matter what they do, nothing can prepare me for the stunt that Will pulls next, and for what Denice tells me moments before that.
…am I ready to fight this time…or will I run away faster than Will?

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'.
