Entropy

Co-Written with E. R. Whyte

Surviving Monday might be the biggest accomplishment of their lives.

By 9:03 A.M. Monday, bank manager Indie Chase thinks her day can’t get worse. She’s dealt with spills, an ex-husband, and her preschooler on bank time.
She’s wrong, though.
In a matter of moments, that day becomes the stuff of nightmares.

Dax Reed is a reluctantly retired pro hockey player with a past he’d rather forget. He’s well on his way to doing so, on his way to Hawaii for a well-deserved vacation, when everything goes to hell.

Together, they’re caught in a robbery that’s going to take everything they have to survive.
It’s going to take trust.
It’s going to take strength.

It might even take … each other.

What readers are saying

This is a story of how tragedy can change the course of who you are. The characters are forced into trauma, healing and figuring how to love which is messy and raw. Loved the gay best friend who adds humor and the little girl tugs at your heart strings. This a beautiful story of redemption, and forgiveness.
