The Ragged Echo

Book two of the California Trilogy. After nearly dying from a "safe" punishment, Julie Wilson tries to move on, only to find herself in the grip of more forces she can't control.
Julie's former boyfriend, Rick Westmoreland, tries to run--from the country, from himself, from the memories of what he and Julie shared, from his pain. But then a horrific accident puts him back in North America and in the crosshairs of the shadowy businessman who tried to buy Julie as his wife.
