foreword

Harley had a bright future ahead of her, but that dream died a long time ago.

*****
Harley vowed she would never return to the city that broke her heart, but old wounds never stop hurting if you keep poking at them. When the phone rings, the city stops, and she's summoned back, she discovers some doors are better left closed. Those you open might never be locked again.
