What would you do if you were
told that everything you had ever believed in and everything you had ever
known, was a lie?
Elle’s life is altered forever
after an unexpected phone call and an unwelcome visitor. Trying to put her life
back together, Brax’s last words continue to echo through her mind. Why she is
being followed and why is she suddenly in danger? The fact that Brax knew about
it all and still left her alone, breaks her fragile heart all over again.
Brax will never forgive himself
for leaving Elle at a time when she needed him the most, even if he believed it
was the only way to protect her. As he makes his way back to her life, he is
determined to win her back, regain her trust and help rebuild her for the
second time. His return proves he is the same man, yet Elle sees in his eyes a
haunted look she knows all too well.
When a confession leaves Elle
reeling, her entire life unravels around her. She begins to understand that the
people she trusts the most have put her in grave danger and the people who have
been protecting her actually want to cause her harm.
Elle soon discovers that the old
adage is true, you have to become lost before you can be found.

“And how about
you?” he asks, quirking an eyebrow. “It’s not like your life was easy after-”
I see where he’s
going now. “Gonna have to shut you down there, bro. I don’t talk about it.”
He sighs loudly.
“If there is one thing I learned inside, Shay, it’s that you have to face the
demons to find even the smallest amount of peace in your life.”
Who is this man,
and what has it done with the asshole that used to be Devon Michael Evans?
“Yeah. Well,
don’t think I’ll ever find peace with that until I’m six feet under.”
“I had an awesome
counselor inside. He helped me deal with my mom’s suicide, and with how my
father betrayed both of us. The one thing he told me that has stuck with me is
a quote from Buddha. ‘Peace comes from within.
Do not seek it without’.”
“Motherfucker. Prison has turned Devon into a believer,” I spit out in
shock. Who would have thought that he could go inside and come out three years
later a changed man without a chip on his shoulder.
“Ha ha. Smart ass. You’re a funny fuck, you know that? No, I’m not a
born again. I just realized that holding onto stuff from your past will tear
you apart. It’s the reason I took my mother’s name instead of Evans when I got
out.”
I nod in agreement. “I noticed that.”
“It’s not a bad thing to put some distance from that man after what he
did,” he murmurs before leaning over and turning the radio up. “Love this
song.”
Subject obviously closed.
Having always loved reading, and
having been befriended and inspired by some awesome self published authors and
book lovers alike, I decided to start writing my first novel, Lost in
Distraction in December 2012. It was a conscious decision that started with a
song, then the prologue and then catapulted from there. I love music too, like
REALLY love music, if there isn't music playing, something is wrong. Out and
Proud Vampire Diaries fan as well.
I'm also a wife, mother,
full-time university student and I do contract work for myself from home.
