The Hidden Message…..The last thing Kaylie saw before passing out from the beating from her husband, Tim, were her children rushing to the door of their bedroom. Mark was wielding a baseball bat, Maddie - his twin - a kitchen knife, and little Mason a flyswatter. How had the man she married changed into a demonic stranger without her realizing it? The downhill slide began in the small town of Prattville, Alabama where Kaylie began working as an agent with Tim’s best friend, Rich Clark, who lived in Nashville on the purchase of a seven-million-dollar ranch in Wyoming. A sale, she would have caved and given to Tim under pressure if her best friend and co-worker, Molly, hadn’t pushed her to stand up for herself. Who would have ever guessed much to Tim’s chagrin, she would successfully negotiate a sale? Eventually with time Kaylie began a new life in Wyoming with her children and as the wife of the seller, Tate Bradely. There, she felt she was safe from the crippled ex-husband she left almost two thousand miles behind. And she was - until she received an ominous message through the mail that was delivered in the form of a crudely hand-made puzzle made of wooden tiles. Were they going to be able to unscramble the letters to decipher the message in time? Or would the edict elude them until it was too late?

A Dance Farewell…..Following the death of his mother, Josh Allen decides to tell the story of the 24 year relationship between his mother, Kenzie, and his best friend, Todd. What makes their story unique is the 14 year age difference separating them. Whereas society readily accepts the difference between an older man and a woman young enough to be his daughter, it doesn’t when the woman is older. Kenzie's tragic loss of her husband in a fatal car accident and the gruesome deaths of Todd’s wife and infant son inflicted scars so deep neither believed they would ever heal. But when they looked at each other, the reflections they saw pulled at them like magnets. Slowly, with time, they became kindred spirits—but not without trials and tribulations. There were barriers to be broken and demons to put to bed before they could move forward with their relationship. When cancer reared its ugly head, rather than let it dominate their lives, they chose instead to take control of the destiny they shared.
