by J. L. Drake
Ride away our worries into the night
Dark I’ll always be
But you’ll be my light for eternity
Silence the demons, you hold them back
Calm the chaos and ease the storm
Even the ones that run and swarm
Once was dark, now is bright
You hold the key to my light
Acknowledgements
Thank you to…
My amazing husband Nathan and my children, Brooke and Parker, for understanding that sometimes I just need to hibernate for days on end until the scene gets out.
My mother and step-father for letting me spend twenty-nine nights in their living room discussing all the murders and crazy storylines that came out in Unleashed.
My sisters Erin and Gillian for all your thoughts and feedback!
My beloved reader group for your endless support, laughter, and all-around fantastic friendship.
My PA, Ketura Worthen, my third arm. I greatly appreciate everything you do, especially the way you deal so patiently with the 1001 ideas that run through my head in the course of a day!
To Jill and Steve Chamness for your help on the prison scenes. I can’t wait until I get to pick your brains again!
My first-round betas and wonderful friends, Ariana, Jaci, and Ceej for cramming in my story at the last eleventh hour.

To Chari_the_book_princess A.K.A Rad Babes Read blog, for always being so incredibly supportive of my stories, for helping me spread the word, and sharing your amazing photos you’ve created based on my books. I know it takes a lot of time, so please know it doesn’t go unnoticed.
To Annie’s Coffee Break Book Blog and Books With Kathy for showing endless love toward my writing!
Last but not least, to my readers who have followed Trigger and Tess’s story from the very beginning and for not ditching me after you read each of my horrible but yet…beloved cliffhangers. Your drive for more fuels the fire that keeps me writing!
Much love, Jx
About the Author
J. L. Drake was born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada, later moving to Southern California where she now lives with her husband and two children.
When she is not writing she loves to spend time with her family, travelling or just enjoying a night at home. One thing you might notice in her books is her love of the four seasons. Growing up on the east coast of Canada the change in the seasons is in her blood and is often mentioned in her writing.
An avid reader of James Patterson, J.L. Drake has often found herself inspired by his many stories of mystery and intrigue. She hopes you will enjoy her books as much as she has enjoyed writing them.
