Here's the opening of chapter 5
Dagan stood on Shelbie’s porch, staring at the intricate
carving on the front door, forcing himself to focus. He wasn’t the kind of man
prone to fanciful thoughts or wishes. Until her. How had his life had

Blurb
Necessity made Shelbie Gilbrad a prostitute and thief, the
thrill kept her in the business. But now she’s in trouble and doesn’t see it
coming, which is odd because Shelbie’s been plagued by visions her entire life.
