LONE STAR LIT NEW RELEASE SPOTLIGHT

Keep Your Doors Locked by Becki Willis

An escaped prisoner.
A woman running from her past.
National news coverage is the last thing Sara needs.

After a troubled and abusive past, Sara Jennings has found a semblance of tranquility in her life. Buying a small pecan orchard in a rural community at the edge of nowhere has brought her the peace and solitude she so desperately craves.
She fell in love with the property at first sight and has never once regretted moving there. The old farmhouse comes with history, something Sara craves for herself. Better yet, it comes with the promise of a future. She can run her software company from home and have minimal human contact with the world.

For a woman in hiding, it’s the perfect solution, until an inmate escapes from prison and shatters Sara’s bubble of security.

Suddenly, the peaceful town of Maypole is anything but peaceful. The entire county is swarming with law enforcement, reporters, and television cameras. As the manhunt garners national attention, her obscure little community is thrust into the limelight.

Oddly enough, it isn’t the escaped prisoner that frightens Sara the most. Her biggest fear is that he might find her, here in the one place on earth she thought she was safe.

From best-selling author Becki Willis, this psychological domestic thriller is full of intriguing twists and deadly turns.

Remember, keep your doors locked.
