Synopsis:
Hank Jerry…Her personal and professional life on the skids, a family emergency forces her to return to the small town, and the aunt, she left behind.
Jack ‘Gent’ Darcy…Fresh out of prison, he’s bent on cutting ties with the Creds, but when you're a war counselor in a national gang, they don't let you just walk away.
Injured and on the run, Jack lands on Hank's doorstep, and makes her a proposition she can’t refuse: write his story about life inside one of the most powerful gangs in the country.
It’s simple – she’ll get her career groove back, and he’ll bury the gang, then disappear – his version of freedom.
Only problem is, they can’t help falling for each other, and they’ve both got something to hide that could blow up in their faces.
With time running out and gang enforcers closing in, will the trust they’ve forged survive the ultimate test?

Zip. Zilch. Null. Nada. Void. The empty set.
No text. No email. No electronic communiqué of any kind.
Scowling, ‘Hank’ Jerry—a woman who wore the self-made
moniker the way some might armor—jammed her smartphone into the front pocket of
her cargo pants and sucked a drag off her first cancer stick of the day,
exhaling into the predawn behind her Aunt Henry’s restaurant. The fluorescents
overhead cast a harsh glow over this particular piece of real estate in
Fiddler’s Elbow, Pennsylvania—a throwback hunky mill town where dial-up was
considered high tech and people still lived life one pierogie at a time.
From the shadows behind the dumpster, a man emerged and
limped toward her, clutching his side, his chest heaving, clouds of his breath
hanging in the April air.
“Hide me!” he gasped.
“What the hell?” Heart pounding, Hank retreated a few steps
and threw her cigarette to the ground. Blood, bruises, panic—all of it oozed
from this man who’d materialized like smoke. Tires squealed on pavement in the
alley running the length of the restaurant and hodge-podge of neighboring
buildings.
“Will you?” he ground out.
A dozen fleeting impressions swamped her brain. Muscular.
Dirty. Unshaven. Murderer? Crazy? Eyes, wild and green, probing and pleading in
the artificial light. In the alley, car doors slammed. Feet pounded gravel and
shouts cut through the dark. Two people? More?
“Please.”
They locked eyes. No, said her gut. Not crazy. But maybe she
was.
