Kingme Stories

Escape was the one thing Adrienne King had always dreamt of. It didn't happen exactly the way she planned it, but after over two decades she believed her life could finally begin and she could close the book on the past. If only she'd realized that there is no closing the book, not while the unknown is always waiting around the corner. It seemed like that part of her life was finally over--the lying and stealing and mind games. Certainly Adrienne never expected she would have to fear for her life again, but when a stranger shows up demanding two million dollars in six months as a repayment for the crimes of her father and brother, she quickly realizes that their influence on her life isn't over yet. For five years she wondered what her brother was up to and now she's about to find out.

Charred; there are few better words to describe Adrienne King. She certainly didn't escape her childhood unscathed but if you scrape off enough of the blackened bits there's something worth saving. Adrienne has spent the past eight years attempting to move beyond the torment she survived, but it turns out you can't hide from who you are-or who you've been. History comes knocking in the form of one nosy investigator determined to find the answers to a murder that took place eight years ago, an investigator who has his crosshairs on Adrienne's brother. In order to protect her brother, she'll have to find him. In order to do that she'll need to dive into their mutual past. It won't be easy digging up all that she's buried but if there's one thing she can never forget, it's that she owes him that much.
