Chasing Tricks by K.A. Sands

Twenty Minutes.
One thousand, and two hundred terrifying seconds.
How long it took for help to arrive.
Too late.

Held down by an oppressive weight, the death of her lover a scar she forever carries, Sophie’s wings have been clipped. She’s holding on to her past like it’s the only thing that defines her and ignoring what’s right in front of her nose.
Pushing everyone away, Sophie gambles with her life, playing games she can never win. As she chases the ghost of a long dead Jake, she hits rock bottom, following him into darkness.
A surprising intervention, with dubious connections to her brother, throws Sophie a lifeline. But it’s not the chilling man with the black eyes that saves her, it’s the man trying to pick up his own life, the man she discarded long ago.
Fresh out of rehab, Ben Cooper wants to leave his past behind, be the man he knows he can be given half a chance. A lucky break tosses the world at his feet, fame and fortune at his fingertips. Not bad for an ex addict and gang member, right?
But he wants his Butterfly too.
It’s time for both Sophie and Ben to stop chasing tricks and reach for a life they deserve. Can Sophie make peace with her past, can Ben stand up and be counted? Will they find their fairy tale together?
