Marie thought she had finally found a sense of stability, but secrets have a way of unraveling when least expected. Just as she begins to feel safe, new threats emerge that could expose her carefully guarded past. She gains an unexpected ally when she confides in her supervisor, Sara, about the nightmare she escaped. Yet even the best-kept secrets have a way of slipping through the cracks.

As close calls and unexpected encounters put her at risk, Marie must navigate a delicate balance between keeping her life intact and staying hidden from the one person she fears most. As the past threatens to collide with her present, Marie must decide whether to keep running or stand her ground and fight for the life she’s built.

Michelle is a native Chicagoan but currently resides in Arizona. She is a driven and motivated writer with a vivid imagination who believes in taking her readers on a journey through the characters of her book. She firmly believes that reading is a way of escaping the things around you and succumbing to the fantasy or other world that a story can create. Michelle has always turned to her dreams to escape times of sadness, frustration, and even boredom. She would always tell her friends and family that she has more fun and excitement in her dreams than in her actual life. It was that very sentiment that led her to writing her first fiction novel.

Michelle is an author that writes with passion and has the ability to paint a vivid picture with her words that draws the readers into her stories. The characters in her stories are ones that everyone can relate to in some form or fashion. Being able to write stories that not only thoroughly entertain readers but cause readers to totally immerse themselves in her stories is an on-going goal that she plans to continually accomplish.
