JC Washington is laser focused on the debut of her new, all-natural energy drink. !ZING’s success will free her from her father’s unreasonable expectations. Abby Martin is running from her past, determined not to let anyone get too close. Those close to her always got hurt. When JC and Abby’s paths cross in a small northern California community neither is sure they can trust the other. Facing a series of unexplained incidents threatening to disrupt their lives, both women realize they need to trust someone. But who? Can that question be answered before anyone gets seriously hurt?

Excerpt:

JC didn’t speak to her father for four years after admitting to him she quit college. The day she declared her independence from Cole Washington’s empire and all the things it stood for. Everything JC did since that day declared her liberation from the family business. Even though she now spoke with her father, their business separation remained. JC wanted none of his world.

She shook her head, bringing herself back to the present. JC tried hard not to forget about that time in her life. It embarrassed her to think of things she’d done. How she’d treated others in pursuit of her father’s approval while growing up. The ways she’d chosen to get ahead. Every day JC awoke determined to live a life that made up for all of that. And to prove to her father that there were paths to being a winner that did not have to come at someone else’s expense.

Footsteps drew her attention as Dre emerged from the warehouse. JC stared, arching an eyebrow and stifling a laugh. Dre’s cargo shorts and tee were covered in brownish-black goo. It was splashed on her face and in her neatly combed black hair, making it appear she’d fallen into a mud pit. “Do I even want to ask?” JC queried, struggling to keep the smile from her face.
