Dreams become reality—and a garden grows, but as every gardener knows, even the most beautiful plants can be poisonous.

She had no clue what was coming. To be betrayed by her husband and best friend. But life doesn’t end there and she need to find a way to move on.

When you’re embarrassed to step out your own front door, is happiness even possible? Jennifer’s life is falling to pieces. She’s out of work. Her brother’s in a coma. Her mom just died. And despite stellar qualifications, every job interview ends in rejection. Also, she’s heavier than she’s ever been.

That’s also why they can break any suspect and can get answers out of anyone accused. That’s when they’re called in, when someone must be protected at all costs, or when answers must be obtained, by any means necessary.
