My name is Laura Collins and I'm on the run. My life was pretty normal, I was a nurse, I was living with my best friend in the best city on earth. I saw my family most weekends, life was good. But everything changed while I was on the job and witnessed a murder.
I was put into the witness protection program after an attempt was made on my life but they still found me. Convinced there was a leak I decided that the safest thing for me was to run on my own. I hit the road and drove until my car wouldn't drive anymore.
I ended up down south and found myself a live in nanny/tutor gig and thought I'd be safe there. The job was for a single dad of three and I thought it would keep me busy and out of site. But what happens when you find out the single dad is a cop, and not just a cop but a detective. And this detective was working on a case regarding the same drug cartel you were involved with? You've been there for a couple months, his family is attached to you and have already started to grow feelings for him. Do you tell him and risk him hating you for lying and possibly putting his family in danger? Or do you run again, and leave them with the same unanswered questions your family back home has?
Will Laura run again or find the courage to stand and fight.

I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head.

I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete
My Stolen Identity (Complete)
I never thought something like this would ever happen to me, because things like this only happened on TV, not in real life and especially not to me. Unfortunately I was wrong. Someone stole my identity. They took pictures from my Facebook account and created a fake online profile to catfish men and scam them out of a lot of money, and now I was being sued for $45,000. That's why I teamed up with Knox Hendrix, a ridiculously hot cyber detective who pledged to help me track down this catfish and put a stop to what she was doing. I tried to stay focused on the case, but the more time I spent with Knox the more complicated things became between us and our growing friendship, because I wanted more. Over time I found out that there was a lot more to Knox than I originally thought and he had a dark past and wounds that needed time to heal, but I knew I could help him with that if he would only stop trying to be the tough cop and open up and let someone in. I wanted to help him but I didn't know if I could ever be satisfied with just being his friend when I wanted so much more. I soon discovered that finding the catfish and solving the case would put my life and Knox's in danger and sometimes there are cases that are better left unsolved.Complete
