This is a collection of scenes, character sketches, chapters and short stories which did not make itinto the Quade series. Some of them will eventually disappear into a book. Some of them already have. There are trigger warnings on some chapters, so please heed them when you find one. A couple of the chapters are brutal, and pertain to victimization and abuse as a long term victim of kidnapping. Enjoy.

Alyana Klah is an investigator and prosecutor for the Department of Justice. Her focus is missing indigenous women and children. The stakes are high when she meets Chayton Adakai during a long term assignment just outside the Navajo reserve in Nevada. As they discover they are both after the same objective, can they survive the trauma of the case they are wroking to buld something they can both hang on to? Will love be strong enough to heal them or will work tear them apart? My fabulous cover is by @introvertvert on Inkitt. Thank you so much.
