Book #2 in "Line of Fire" Series: Cross-fire: (n.) a situation wherein the forces of opposing factions meet, cross, or clash. Alexa never asked for this. She had never asked to be thrown into the front line of Chapman's investigation. She had never wanted to deal with her father's return. And she surely never wanted to go to prison. But sometimes we don't get what we truly want. Yet, as Alexa rots away in jail, all she wants is another chance. And after fifty-nine days, she receives one. When she returns home, Alexa finds things are worse than ever, and there's nothing she can do about it except to pick-up where she left off. But her past seems to follow her everywhere, and once again she finds herself stuck in the cross-fire between the GIB and Chapman. Except this time, someone wants blood. This time, someone wants revenge.

***GirlXGirl Romance*** Living in New York you learn to keep up with the quick pace of the city, myself included. I was never the one to stop and smell the roses, but that was until I met her on that dull September afternoon. Her eyes were light and dark at the same time, as if a devil and an angel lived inside of her. Time itself had stopped, and since that day everything had changed, ever since I had crossed paths with Drew Wilder.
