Secrets and lies of the creek...
When escaping isn’t enough...

A woman whose past holds her hostage…
A man who can’t let the past go…
A favor that brings them together again…

Wrenn Cunningham held a dark secret close to her heart and lived with nightmares that tried to wreck her. When her father died, she tried to put that secret in the grave with him, but lies can’t be buried. Accepting a nursing scholarship gives her a chance at freedom and an opportunity to build her own life. Making that choice means she has to leave her ailing mother back home with the dilapidated ranch to take care solely on her own. With the help of Stephan Hart, an old flame, she calls in favors and helps her mother bring life into the ranch so that she can go back to school in Dallas, but rekindling her relationship with Stephan, a Pro fisherman, has risks of its own and would sidetrack her new career.

Stephan knows he let the best thing in his life get away. When Wrenn ended their relationship, she was broken. He was shattered. Helping her means he can spend time with her and show her he’s changed. He would do anything to prove to her that she can trust him again.

If only life was that simple… Nightmares find you no matter where you are.

As tragedy strikes, Wrenn is forced to accept things she cannot change and agrees to a new position as an opportunity to once again, move forward. Meeting Mr. Asher Lawrence, a wealthy businessman, at her new job in the cancer center, changes her life in many unexpected ways.

When she meets Asher’s grandson Dane, she’s unwilling to open her heart. She struggles to trust in her relationship with Dane and the continued nightmares threaten her life and that of her unborn child.

Getting caught up in corporate espionage, Wrenn becomes a hostage and the nightmare she lived at seventeen is brought to life once again as she hangs from the rafters in the same barn that held her captive many years ago. She realizes there’s no escaping the creek. Or is there?
