When Love Plays Softly — J.D. Wylde

Gregory Dawson, former FBI, now TBI supervisory agent is hardnosed. Arrogant. Cynical. And those are his good qualities. He sees the worst in humanity and searches for evidence to prove his hunches.  Too bad he uses those same tactics in his marriage.  His beautiful wife is understanding. But one or two missteps on his part -- Hell, make that a dozen or more and his perfect marriage is in serious peril.  Liza's given him no reason to doubt. Yet he can't comprehend, or understand how the former high society, internationally acclaimed piano virtuoso with a legion of admirers could possibly be happy living a quiet life of anonymity. In a backwoods small town in Vermin County, Tennessee, no less. A life necessary to protect her from a sadistic killer who her sole testimony put behind bars. A killer bent on revenge. Even from a jailcell a thousand miles away. It's a helluva life. A lot to accept.  When love should play softly, theirs is a WWF match of the century. Until the killer escapes, leaving a bloody trail of bodies leading to their door.  With lives on the line, doubts are set aside. Roles are reprised. Secrets are revealed. But will they survive long enough to untangle the mess he's made of their marriage to get a second chance to make things right?  Or should he call the priest now for last rites?
