BAILEYSome may call it a fated meeting, but I don't believe in that shit - at least not back then - because I am a man of science and I believe in freewill... but it's not a coincidence if everything that's happened between us thus far, happened as if the entire universe conspired for us to meet.The day we bumped into each other at the market for example... while I admit that I've been keeping tabs on you and your fiance for the purpose of investigating Gabriel Marshall's case, I didn't expect to see you in the flesh and spill my coffee on you.

You probably don't remember me, but when I saw that photograph of you on your file, I just knew.We can help each other get the justice we deserve.TIFFANYHe lied. To what extent, I have no clue.

I'm a human time bomb waiting to explode - except the fact that my idea of explosion involves pushing another living and breathing human being out of my coochie soon...Is that the reason why we keep breaking up?WELCOME TO ALDER COVE!This is Book One of L.L.
