"An AMAZING book!""I can't get it out of my head.""Beautiful descriptive, passionate sex scenes are some of the best I've read.""Riveting from beginning to end.""I read it in one night!""Kudos to the author sensitively writing about a hero who is living with a mental illness, and a heroine who has been a prostitute since she was a young teen.""A first book from a truly gifted writer."Sally Benson knows the rules, for seventeen years she’s toed that line. Until one summer night in Dallas, in the bed of a sadistic deputy sheriff, fight or flight kicked in and she broke every rule in the book. Will her life be the cost Sally will pay for defending herself?Kirk Watts lives a lie, possessing abilities he can’t comprehend. He swears by the mantra an eye for an eye and silences the voices in his head with the euphoria he drags from his opium pipe. When Kirk stumbles on Sally, running for her life through the Texas countryside, those voices start dragging up memories that even his addictions can’t soothe.For the first time in her life, Sally meets a man she is comfortable with. Can she trust Kirk Watts, reeking of liquor and talking about things no one else can see? Are a couple hot nights with a considerate man enough for her to seek something more with him?Can Sally and Kirk outrun the demons threatening to engulf their lives in flames? Or will Kirk’s lie and Sally’s past collide, combusting so violently it costs Sally more than her freedom, and Kirk more than his mind?"I found Justified riveting from beginning to end. The story set in the 1890's is about sex trafficking, evil men, mysterious murders.... There's a lot of violence, graphic descriptions of addiction, alcoholism, and the sex trade. The underlying romance that was threaded throughout the story was a huge bright spot."Suzy Vero
