He thought he witnessed a kidnapping. He thought he did the right thing. He thought he was a hero. He thought, he thought. Until his thoughts came back to haunt him.

Steve Breiten is a college professor who has a long line of failed relationships behind him. All he wants is a long vacation in the mountains, free of drama and responsibilities, where he can relax, read, and maybe even start writing his book. He didn’t expect a mysterious woman to walk into his office – not that woman, the one who had been kidnapped all those years ago and rescued after a tip he’d left at the police station. Now, his plans for the summer have taken a dramatic shift. Tara Murphy is determined to show her gratitude for his actions that fateful day, and she won’t take no for an answer. As the heat builds between them, Steve finds himself at a moral crossroads. He doesn’t want to take advantage of this young, damaged woman. But he finds his resistance to her sexual advances fading fast. It’s only a matter of time before she leads him to the secret that lies behind the woods. $0.99 on Kindle.
