But Sabra is keeping her diagnosis a secret from the family she came home to be with. And the longer she stays, the harder it becomes to hide the truth-from her parents, from Haidar, and from the faith she buried the moment she stopped believing anyone was watching.

The prospect of turning fifty doesn't send Julia running for the hills or plastic surgery. In fact, getting a facelift, tattoo, motorcycle license or taking up a new, midlife crisis fueled hobby, are the furthest things from her mind. As far as 'living your dream before it's too late' goes, Julia has already hit the jackpot.

Life for Julia doesn't just seem perfect - it is. Until one rainy day in April, when Julia disappears without warning, trace, or credible explanation, leaving her family reeling with total disbelieve. Nothing about this makes sense!

I only studied cars with my dad, and I never got a chance to race in them. I could feel a crisp hand glide up my thigh. I adored it when he held me. It made me feel so sensitive and calm. "Cálmate, mi amor, you're safe with me," He muttered softly. I kept my hand on him. It made me feel safe. Silas' reassuring words were like warm songs flowing through my brain. The engine rave had an earsplitting screech, sending the car flying through the street as he caught up to his opponent. "Baby, do you want to do something wild?" he whispered in my ear.

He always kept me on my toes. My voice was coy and shaky, "What is it, Silas?" I peered. He leaned closer to ear, "Flash him, baby." I froze. "Wait, what did you say?" I was in complete shock. Silas suddenly turned to me and shot me a sexy glare. "I said flash him for me, baby."
