6:17pm. Track Six. Ten years from today. No Matter What. That was the promise. When duty pulled them apart and love wasn’t enough to make either of them stay, Weston Parker and Isabella Middleton made a pact. Ten years later, a devastating bombing, an unexplainable patient, and a hidden conspiracy will bring them back together — at exactly the moment the city needs them most.
“Best book I have read in awhile. I read at least one book a week. I finished this book in an evening. Simply could not put it down. Very well written. Not too convoluted. Just enough characters to follow easily. Highly recommend!! Summer cannot come soon enough for Book 2!!”

“Fast paced, short read with some good action and a relationship as the backbone. Would love to have more background on the characters and I hope to learn more about Weston and Isabella in book two.”
