As Long As She Lives (full published version!)
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A WOMAN WHO SURVIVED. Highest rank # 1 in Mystery/Thriller! Written on Wattpad and now published worldwide in print and eBook (in ePub and Kindle) at the usual retailers! Back Cover Blurb: After 4 years teaching in central Africa, Caitlyn Lancaster returns to her family in Australia, telling them she's been sent home because of looming political unrest. But Cait is more fragile than she and her Federal police handler anticipated. She's forced to accept that childhood family friend, now police detective, Riley Duncan must be told the brutal truth if she is to keep herself and her family safe. With Riley's support, Cait begins to recover her strength but civil war erupts around her friends in Umoja and her harrowing secret becomes the key to that nation's future. Putting her faith in her handler, Cait takes the ultimate risk only to discover that Agent Koffa has failed to take into account one vital detail...he's not as good at his job as he thinks he is. ** Please note, rather than the original, unedited draft, this book is now a sample of the first three chapters of the published version of As Long As She Lives. The draft version to which so many of you lovingly responded was available here for over two years and I cherish every reader and all your support but having the unedited draft available here was beginning to affect other opportunities as I attempt to establish a career in this fiction writing game. Also, I'd prefer that the version of the work that is publicly available is the best version! Again, thank you all so much for your support, I look forward to sharing my next novel in the draft stage soon! Darcy. ©Narrative Disorder 2014 - All rights reserved.Complete

This is believed to create stability and love for them both, resulting in a happier society. But what happens when the two puzzle pieces don't fit? What about when Archie's heart has been stolen by another, someone she could never hope to be with?
