    About the Author

    Broken Promises

    Madeline stood at the edge of the cliff watching the massive waves crashing against the rocks below. A sea wind whipped her hair, the unruly strands covering her face, hiding her tears. She chided herself for her stupidity, no, naiveté was more like it. She had believed every word, trusting him completely, but Nathan was not trustworthy. Just ask anyone, especially his family. They knew, they all did, yet no one had warned her. Of course, she probably never would have believed them since she had been too besotted to see the truth.

    Storm clouds loomed over the horizon while ribbon lightning flashed across the sky as thunder rumbled in the distance. A gentle rain started to fall, but Madeline did not care. Her body was numb to nature’s fury just as her soul was numb to the truth. She had sinned, and she was being punished for being a harlot and a thief because that was what she was. She shivered slightly, staring at the sea as her life flashed before her. She had been a God-fearing person who obeyed the law. When had it all gone wrong?
