OUT NOW The Beginning

Dominic De La Cruz promised himself that he'd only be in Colburn for one week. His main mission: attend his oldest brother's funeral. Once he'd gotten his mother through the worst of it, he'd be free to return to California, where his empire had grown tenfold. Finding himself wrapped in the one person from past, a woman who'd always made his heart skip, Nicky would find himself asking if Colburn was all that bad.

In her thirty years of life, Tess Bowen never needed another person to survive. Working three jobs, maintaining her apartment with her irresponsible roommate, Lexi, and finishing her degree, Tess didn't have time for life. Deciding to take a break, from her reality, Tess finds herself hungover and naked beside a stranger. Little did she know, this stranger had more in common with her than she thought.

When their relationship, or lack thereof, draws the attention of his family and all those in Colburn, Tess begins to receive strange phone calls. Escalating to the ominous handwritten notes, then outright vandalism, she's forced to enlist Nicky's help.
