Publisher: The Wild Rose Press, Inc.
Publication Date: September 13, 2017
Merritt Saxe, newly hired public relations specialist with the Florida prison system, answers an urgent plea from their division's director, Willard Ware Baintree. Following his orders, she finds him in the apartment of his mistress, his bloody T-shirt and the mistress's dead body convincing her the criminal justice superstar is himself a criminal. The director claims he didn't kill the woman and coerces Merritt into being his alibi.
Meanwhile, as the director pulls her farther into his web of lies, Merritt breaks with her longstanding boyfriend and begins a steamy relationship with hunky attorney Israel Goodspeed, whose brother works for the director. Yet how can she trust Israel with her secret or her heart when she suspects the director has been orchestrating their relationship to keep her in line? Speaking out about the cover-up could cost her more than time in jail...it could cost her life.

Excerpt

When I read about the director’s tragic death on the Internet, I ran into my home office and took out a dusty, laminated ID card from a desk drawer I hadn’t opened for years, not since I’d left the prison system. I blew off the dust and detritus and examined my picture. Was that really me? I looked pretty good there all those years ago. So fresh and hopeful and thin! Then the world was full of possibilities.
That was before all the secrets and lies, secrets I’d hoped to take to the grave. Secrets I had kept, until now. Secrets that informed my life and all the decisions I’d made up until this point, from where I lived to who I’d marry. And I’m the worst about keeping secrets, as my kids like to remind me.
But now the director was dead, killed in the crash of the small plane he was piloting, along with his wife, Miss Julia. What is that expression, Dead people can’t tell tales? Maybe it was time for the truth to come out. The truth I’d kept bottled up inside me for years. The truth about the brutal death of Judge Savannah Braddock, still an unsolved case, as far as I could tell. I’d never told anyone about it or the part I’d played in the coverup. And not a day in my life went by that I didn’t see her partially clothed, beautiful but bloody body lying there on the bed and think about what had happened that morning.
