Broken Roads

by Victoria Lynn

When Elizabeth Richfield finds both of her parents brutally murdered in their California home, she’s devastated and left questioning who could possibly be behind such a violent crime. When the police trail grows cold after only a few months, she fears she’ll never know the truth. At least until the panic attacks start. There’s someone watching her. She can feel them. The problem is no one believes her. They all keep telling her she’s still reeling from finding her parents the way she had. The police are tired of hearing from her. But whoever killed her parents is still out there, and what if she’s next on the list? With no help and her paranoia on the rise, she does the only thing left she can think of. She runs. Donning a new look, a new name, a new life, she leaves everything behind.

Owen Hale has always lived a simple life working as a night cop in his small town of Gratin, Pennsylvania. Nestled safely in the foothills of the Pocono Mountains, Gratin isn’t known for anything exciting. Same routines, same people, day in and day out. Until the night he almost runs over a panicked blonde woman in the middle of the street. Who is she? Where did she come from? It doesn’t take long for his insatiable need to solve a mystery to take over. He has to figure her out. But she’s about as closed off as the mountain roads in a winter storm. Oakley Morgan is a puzzle he can’t quite piece together.

As Owen starts to connect the dots though on who she is, he finds an even deeper and far more dangerous secret lurking in the shadows. Oakley now finds herself surrounded by new friends and a man who refuses to let her fend for herself. She can do this; with their support she can finally stand on her own and face down the angry past that’s gunning right for her.
