After running for her life through the forest, art gallery owner Janel Newman wakes up in the hospital with no memory of the past forty-eight hours.

When she's forced to hide at deputy sheriff Zach Walker’s family ranch along with her twin sister, secrets are uncovered, and a murderous conspiracy is revealed. With ruthless criminals dogging their every step, will Janel and Zach be able to thwart these villains’ plan to silence Janel for good?

What is something interesting readers would enjoy learning about you?

I took kickboxing classes in my thirties and broke a board with my foot. That led to competing in a tournament and my first bloody nose when my opponent broke the rules and hit me in the face. That led to me emceeing a professional kickboxing/boxing match despite not knowing what to say.

What was the inspiration behind your story?

I wanted to try story tropes I had never used before. After going through a list, I chose twins and amnesia. I was thinking of the movie The Thomas Crown Affair when I added an art gallery. It was fun coming up with a suspense story that would mix those elements all together.

What did you learn while writing this story?

I researched amnesia and learned doctors no longer want you to stay awake for twenty-four hours. Also, a patient may never remember the events right before or after the injury.

What encouragement do you hope readers will take away from your story?

I hope readers will remember that God never abandons you. Sometimes he’ll let something happen that will shake you out of your comfort zone, so you’ll choose an alternative path. When I think about troubling times in my life, I see where a heartbreaking event eventually led to great blessings. He has a plan for us.
