"In the end, death waits for no one."
When Reagan Ortega's brother is accused of killing an innocent man, Reagan knows something is wrong. Her dependable brother, Rick, a murderer? Impossible. Yet all evidence points to the contrary, and to a possible death penalty.
Determined to prove his innocence, Reagan soon finds that there may be more at stake than Rick's life. As she begins to uncover dangerous secrets, she finds that some people will do whatever it takes to keep the truth buried. A truth that may reveal the death penalty to be more than an ending.
With suspicions of government corruption, shady cops watching her every move, and questionable alliances with wanted criminals, Reagan may just be buried along with the truth.

The Bikers
"Are you sure you wanna do this?" He asks, his hazel eyes grazing over my tear streaked face illuminated by the moonlight. "I've never been so sure of anything in my entire life." "Carter, this is a big decision. Once you're in, you can never get back out." I wipe my face deliberately as he waits for my answer. No more pain, no more bullying. Maybe this is what I need. A new beginning. A chance to start over. "I want this, Nathan. I want in." I say. He takes me by the wrist and leads me over to his dark motorcycle. Putting his helmet on my head and strapping it under my chin, he stares into my large, brown eyes. "Everything's gonna be fine. I promise." He nods with reassurance as he tucks a curl behind my ear. Another tear escapes my eye and he quickly wipes it away. This is the most sincere Nathan has ever been with me and I feel nervous, but excited. He takes my hands and wraps them around his toned abs before we both sputter off into the moonlight. The applewood California breeze whips my face as we speed down the motorway. This is it. •••••••••••••• Carter Wyatt has just been moved to sunny Pasadena, California with her single dad. After her mother's passing and her older brother's death, things just weren't the same.
