About this author

Kelly (Lynn) Parra’s earliest stories were told with paintbrushes, but upon discovering the drama, forbidden love, and danger of romance and suspense novels, those paintbrushes were replaced with a keyboard.

Now a multi-published author in young adult and suspense fiction, she has created memorable characters such as a graffiti artist, a psychic teen, and a tough undercover narc. A two-time RITA finalist, she divides her time between her novels, freelance writing, and the adventures of motherhood, where she juggles her home life with two children, a tattooed husband, a sweet poodle, and a rowdy pit bull.

" Reviewed by: Celia

This book just made me want to keep on reading until I got to the end. (I think I read it in about 2 or 3 days)

It is a fast, heart-gripping read. By the end, all the secrets are revealed and they are surprising.

"No."
I swallowed and blinked back tears.

Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
