Synopsis

It began three days ago with a fight. Seems that for me, everything begins with a fight..."

Sammy Jo may be strong, fast and tough, even in heels, but she gets into trouble when she fights some local thugs to save a rich boy named Gregory.

Now bad guy McCloud is after her - and he's even more dangerous than her forbidden love for Gregory.

"Full of action, romance, humour and fighting for what is important in your life. I read this in one sitting and couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Loved every minute of it!" - Sabah's Amazon review

Teaser: Excerpt

The wedding’s over.
      My beautiful bridesmaid’s dress is soaked in blood. Bright crimson patterning the white. The hem ragged and torn. The tulle skirts missing and the strapless bodice ripped. My tiara is long gone. My hair is stiffening with dried blood, not mousse. My legs are crumpled beneath me, unable to move. I’m like a rag doll.
      I’m lying in this circle of trees by the black water. They call it a beauty spot. I can’t see no beauty today. Only death. The magpies warned us, but we didn’t listen.
      Gregory is beside me, his sun-streaked, fair hair red with blood, his face white as a ghost. Shocked and injured again. It’s my fault. I want to hug him, hold him close, tell him I didn’t mean to let this happen to him. But I can’t move. Anyway, he probably hates me.
      In the distance, I can hear emergency sirens. Has everyone found out? Has me daddy? His name is Samson Smith. He comes from a long line of champion fighters. He’d have been able to stop Gregory from getting hurt. Not like me, even though I’m the only girl to have inherited the Smith fighting skills. Sometimes I love it, but now I hate it.I’m too fast, too strong, even in my Jimmy Choo heels. It’s brought me here, to this place of death.
      It began three days ago with a fight. Seems that for me, everything always begins with a fight…
