Friends and Lovers

Two couples on a dangerous collision course.

Lauren McKay and Wes Dunlop saw their moment slip away when he left for college. Now, fifteen years later, Detective Dunlop just walked into the domestic violence shelter Lauren runs and the sparks fly, reminding her why she never got over him.

Sylvia Coulter knows if she could go back and give her younger self some hard-earned advice, it’s unlikely she’d get through to the misty-eyed romantic. She’d tell her there’ll come a day where she’ll begin to fear her husband. Sadly, innocence truly was bliss––bliss with an expiration date.

While Lauren and Wes imagine a future together, the Coulter’s marriage implodes. When Sylvia runs, she unwittingly brings danger with her. As tensions at the shelter escalate, Lauren wonders, is this where her newfound happiness is destined to end too?
