Diane Bator

The Bookstore Lady Diane Bator

Danny Walker is tracking Paulina Chourney who fell deep into the dark side of life and is lucky to get out before her boyfriend Maddox kills her. Paulina escapes Maddox and arrives in a small town, a blessing in disguise since the men she worked for would never think to look for her in a lazy, backwater place like Packham. She changes her name to Katie Mullins, makes a deal on a little bookstore and joins a local writing group then successfully fades into anonymity. Until Danny shows up to visit family and figures out who she is. When she catches her 80-year-old landlady sneaking out in the middle of the night, the bad guys catch up to her and Danny disappears. Katie has to choose between spending her life on the run or standing up to face her past -hopefully before the quirky townsfolk turn her death into a spectacle.
