“I was always told never to wish on the first star at night. If everyone wishes on one star, how will the star keep up? A star with too many wishes will just fall out of the sky. Rain drops are plentiful, and there are thousands. They wash away the filth and carry it to a better place. So when you make a wish, wish on the water and let it carry your problems away.”
Candice-Leigh Carson, a New York City best-selling author, was engaged to one of NYPD's finest. She was living the dream until she lost her fiancé, quit her job and moved, leaving behind the only family she ever knew. She left her best friend Jaxson, without saying goodbye. In her quest to find herself, would she ever find love again?
Jaxson Monroe, one of NYPD's finest, lost his partner when an undercover job went south. After spending a night with his partner's lover, Candice, she flees into the night. He loved Candice and had promised his partner he would protect her. It was his fault she ran, but he quickly found himself in the arms of another. Would Jaxson ever convince Candice to come home or did he prefer another woman? Would their love survive his betrayal and her abandonment?
“I have something I need to do,” I stated, as I grabbed my purse. Jax went to reach for my elbow and I gave him an evil smile that said don’t try and stop me. I got out the door when Brooklyn came running up behind me. “Where are we going?” She asked with a smile on her face.
“I am going to handle something. Where are you going?” I asked, as the elevator opened.
“I am going where you are going.” Brooklyn replied.
“Brooklyn, I might be committing a crime and you are the acting Assistant District Attorney. So you see where that could be a problem?”
“No, a lawyer is a lawyer; besides, we work better when we have all the facts. What could be better than a bird’s eye view of the events?”
“Candice, wait!” Jax bellowed, but I nodded my head for Brooklyn to enter the elevator and walked in behind her.
“I have to do this Jax.” I spoke softly as the elevator doors shut on a hurt look on Jax’s face. The face that said he thought this would be the last time we saw each other. I thought about the characters in my books at that moment. I asked myself what would they do to achieve a happy ending and I drew a blank.
If this was a book I had been writing, I would have written myself into a corner with no clue where to go.
I walked out to the street and headed west. No clue where I was going because I was still working on the chain of events in my head. Brooklyn caught my arm and held me there as she hailed a cab.
“Figured out what you are going to do yet?” Brooklyn asked, as we piled into the cab. I had to buy some time.
“Take us to the Crossfit on Columbus Ave.” I shouted to the driver as my voice was finally finding itself. Brooklyn merely smiled at me. I don’t know how this was going to work. Anything illegal I do, my accomplice will also be my prosecutor.
“Brooklyn, we don’t know each other very well. If you are not prepared to go the distance with whatever I do, I think you should jump ship now.” “Don’t worry; I have our bail money.” Brooklyn reached across the cab and placed her hand on mine in a comforting way.
“Candice, I have been in your shoes before. I have wanted to save the people I loved by sacrificing myself. I know how you feel. I don’t know what you have planned, but whatever it is I am in. Let’s finish this, so our men won’t have targets on their backs.”
“I am going to handle something. Where are you going?” I asked, as the elevator opened.

What a ride!!! Elizabeth York outdid herself with this story!!
OMG... I am literally still reeling from it... I mean.. There are plot twists that rival a slinky...
There are shock factors that rival a blowdryer falling into your bathwater!!!
And the ending!!! HOLY MOTHER EFFEN ENDING!!!!
I have to add... she includes Brooklyn and Mark from her book Surviving Brooklyn.
So if you have read that one, you get them big time in this story as well!! I freaking love that!!
If you haven't read it (why not??!! read it now!! lol) It is not required.. but no reason not too!!
I have to say... this story just blew my mind... had me crying from the very first chapter..
had me reeling with emotions every chapter after that!!!
Candace and Jax... what a journey.... from childhood best friends, to grieving friends over the loss of Chase,
to frozen in the mud not knowing how to get their heads out of their arses... to gah... to "THEM"....
Just beautiful, with a lot of really shocking twists along the way!!
I want to go all "Misery" on her to find out what happens next!!! join me... we can get it out of her! lol
