The Knuckle-Smash Kid Michael Lewis Collins

Candice closed the book and held it to her chest. She was on her way to meet the Kid and tell his story. She left her dull life as a typesetter back in Baltimore, Maryland, so she could be a real writer. But even more than that, she wanted to be with the Knuckle-Smash Kid. The stories started around six years ago. She would read each one from cover to cover. Each story was more violent, more seductive than the last. The Kid was everything the men back in Baltimore weren't. She would go there, write his story, and then throw herself at him, hoping he would make her a woman. She was twenty years old and on an adventure of a lifetime. A small-town sheriff's life is turned upside down when a young writer comes to town in search of his story but not his real story. Along the way, the young writer Candice Martin learns that not everything printed is true and the man she fell in love within the book was different from the real Edward Warren.
