Valerie Hayken Photography and Design
Listen to a reading. Watch a trailer created by JM Dragon.
Synopsis
Lane Cuthbert knew exactly where she wanted to go and what she had to do to get there. Her goal was to challenge the network legal gurus for their positions but first, she needed a juicy scandal or murder. What she found was a beautiful woman with a secret in need of a lawyer.
When the sheriff charges beautiful and wealthy Bryce Clayton with the murder of her nemesis Preston Garrett, Lane sees her chance at fame. The only problem is, Bryce won’t say where she was at the time of the murder. Although Lane is able to discredit many of the district attorney’s witnesses she still has a problem – the alleged murder weapon belongs to Bryce.
Through twists and turns the trial reveals secrets that people wished to keep private. Can Lane convince the jury of her client’s innocence or will Bryce pay the ultimate price for her silence? Deception is the pretext that allows secrets to flourish and allows murderers to conceal the truth.

Synopsis
This two-story odyssey inextricably links the lives of four women in a curious mix of intrigue, deception, and understanding.
When Lauren Walker and Maggie Sullivan meet, they have a spontaneous attraction that sparks immediately. Judge Victoria Walker, Lauren's
domineering mother, becomes a reluctant pivotal catalyst that sends them on a journey of discovery.
Maggie, who is desperate to keep her past a secret, is drawn into the equation in a way she never expected or wanted. Those events inevitably connect them to the path of Harriet Aristides and Nichola (Nicky) Ralston, whose journey toward the promise of a new start is far from simple.
Tragedy appears to be the middle name of Harriet; it is hard to believe she will ever be truly happy again. Corporate intrigue involving the promise of medical discoveries defines her life. Uncharacteristically, she enters the unknown realm of fieldwork in the jungles of South America. Among the small team of people with her on the trip is Nichola Ralston. Nicky has a secret that could dramatically change the way Harriet views their growing friendship.
Festering away in the dark is a situation that insidiously enters all their lives.

Emma Sanders survives in a dark world of fear and shadows created by her mother. Circumstances thrown into her life's path keep her isolated, alone, and far removed from the trappings of modern society. She does what she has to do to endure life in spite of her perceived inadequacies and worthlessness.
When a shadowy figure emerges from the muddy depths of water near her boat dock, light begins to creep into Emma's lonely existence. Cay O'Neill's path twists and turns, bringing her to Jones' Lake and Emma Sanders.
Slowly, Emma allows Cay into her life, rejoicing in the new found emotion of friendship and other feelings that she can’t quite explain. But a common enemy threatens the fledgling relationship. Can they form a strong bond in a fight to stay alive? Will the light of a once-inconceivable world shine on her or will Emma find betrayal

Catherine Warriorson was a woman without any hope. Immensely powerful when it came to the monetary things in life but emotionally she had committed her heart to the depths of despair. Forsaking everything she once knew, including her friends, she locked herself away virtually alone in a ranch called Destiny.

Life never appeared so easy to manipulate until the scheming of old adversaries intervene. Taking the two women on a journey that would test their inner character strengths and the emotional ties that bound them. A road leading to the defining of their destiny’s but would it allow them a life together?

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.
May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.
