New Release: K. Dawn Byrd's Shattered Identity





ABOUT THE BOOK

Nineteen-year-old Lexi Branson thinks she's found the guy of her dreams. He's hot, wealthy, and older. She soon finds out that sometimes the perfect guy turns out to be perfectly dangerous.



A SNEAK PEEK INSIDE SHATTERED IDENTITY

I rushed down Zack's driveway, anxiety pushing me forward even as my heart fell. If Zack saw Jeremy's car at the lake the other day, he'd know who I was leaving with, and he might not ever get over it. I wasn't sure I ready for the relationship to end for good, but this might do it.



I stepped into Jeremy's black Mustang, the scent of his cologne enveloping me like a warm, fuzzy blanket. Memories of us as a couple flooded my mind and made me happy and sad at the same time. "You okay?" Jeremy asked.



"Yeah. Just get me out of here. Hurry. He's coming down the hill."



Jeremy backed out of the driveway just as Zack reached the car. He moved until he was directly in front of the car. "Lexi, get out."



I shook my head even as the tears rolled down my cheeks. The crazed look in his eyes sealed the deal. He was either mad or high on something, maybe bath salts.



"Go, Jeremy. Just go."



"I can't run over him."



Jeremy rolled down his window. "Just get out of the way, man."



"She's not leaving with you."



Jeremy picked up his phone and shook it at Zack. "If you don't get out of the way, I'm calling the cops." Zack crossed his arms, standing his ground. "Lexi, get out of the car."



Afraid that they'd end up in a fight if I didn't, I reached for the door handle as Jeremy glanced sideways at me. "Don't do it. That guy is on something."



I rolled down my window. "Zack, go back to bed. Jeremy's just giving me a ride home. We'll talk about this tomorrow."



"No way. Get out of the car."



Jeremy leaned out of the window. "Man, you look like you're on something. If you don't get out of the road, I'm going to call the cops and tell them some doped up guy is in the middle of the road holding up traffic. Wanna cool it in a jail cell?"



Headlights came around the curve and tires squealed behind us. The driver yelled, "What's going on?" Zack shot us an obscene gesture and moved out of the road. He trudged up the hill, head down, shoulders slumped.



The thought of losing Zack was more than I could bear, but right now, something didn't feel right. We'd been so perfect together, and I'd probably never find that again, but I was too scared to think about that. Jeremy took his eyes off the road long enough to glance sideways at me. "What's going on?"



"I don't know."



"Did he hurt you?"
