With no other choice, she runs to California, and start life anew as Brie Masters.

No matter how many miles she puts between herself and her former life, she is still running: Danger followed her and when it starts to effect those around her, she is forced to flee back home, to Gabby’s life and the last person she wants to ask for help. There all of her secrets will be exposed.

The Cross My Heart Duet

    "Hey, Brie. Want to go to Max's after your last lesson tonight?" Julie, a server at the club, pokes her head in the locker room as I change into my tennis skirt.


    "Sure, I'd love to. I won't be done with the kids until about nine. Is that okay?"


    "Perfect. The kitchen doesn't close until ten, but Wednesdays are usually slow, and Scott will let one of us go early. It's my turn. Have a good session, and I'll meet you after."
