It's been 16 years since Mark Jessup was behind the wheel of a pickup truck that left three cheerleaders (one of the girls was his sister) dead and Beth Ann Decker badly injured and scarred for life. It was said that it would have been a blessing if she had died with the other girls because of her injuries.

There is a lot going on in Eudena, a small rural Texas town. The community's most hated prodigal son has returned to take care of his ailing father. After spending three years in prison for the deaths of the three girls (one year for each death), Mark has made a success of himself in Pittsburgh. But he comes back to prove something to his hometown -- and to himself.

Beth Ann's mother, not the most well-liked or respected woman in the community, has been brutally murdered in her home. Because of his past, Mark is a suspect in the killing. Beth Ann knows he had nothing to do with her mother's murder and begins depending on him to help her find answers.

Snippets of that fateful night 16 years earlier are returning to Beth Ann. Deeply buried pictures are surfacing in her mind. And there are unscrupulous people in the community ready to put Mark back in prison, before long- buried secrets come roaring back into their lives. Beth Ann is ready to face life head on. She's sick and tired of being "poor" Beth Ann.

With strength derived from their love, Mark and Beth Ann travel a dangerous path and face some deadly enemies to find the truths from the past, seek forgiveness for a future together and discover the secrets to the murder of her mother in this Bible belt community.

HEAD ON is packed with tension and hard-edge suspense. The story is unforgettable and weaves a rich tapestry of good and evil. Prepare yourself for an all-nighter. HEAD ON really delivers. It's a great read.

Book Summary

Hell On Wheels...

The full moon brings out the crazies; anyone in emergency services knows that. But for hospice nurse Beth Ann Decker, the gruesome murder that rocks Hatcher County is shockingly unexpected. As is the return of the Texas community's most hated prodigal son -- Mark Jessup. Sixteen years before, the town's bad boy was behind the wheel of a pickup that left three cheerleaders dead and Beth Ann so badly injured that people whispered she'd have been better off in the grave with them.

Jessup is all man now -- tough, uncompromising, rich -- and a possible suspect in this new killing. Beth Ann knows he's the last person she should be spending time with, especially when a nighttime intruder makes it clear that she herself is a target. But in Mark's heated gaze, Beth Ann sees something a lot more exciting than pity. No matter how dangerous the road ahead, she's dead set on meeting life, and love...

Head On.
