Murphy's Law in Action.....

This is something that happened to me a few years ago.  I wrote this down and just found it again.  Thought it might be something you can sympathize with:

Talk about a day when anything that could go wrong does! This is mine!

I get up at 5 a.m. to pack the clothes that I stayed up till 2 a.m. last night to wash so I can drop my son off at the bus stop by 7 a.m. to get to work by 7:30 a.m. so I can leave at 4:00 p.m. to go to my Mom's house 4 hours away so I can go with her at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning for her cataract surgery.

Everything is going on schedule until......

“Grace, I won’t screw it up again.”

There was nowhere safe for Grace Baker and her baby to run. Even the law was no match for the ruthless drug lord who'd fathered her child. Serrano had spies everywhere and wouldn't stop till he captured his son and killed Grace. Now Marshal Sam Chance was suddenly back in her life offering protection…could she dare to refuse?

Sam believed his family ranch was the one place Grace would be safe. Here they found refuge in each other's arms. But returning home only reminded Sam of his past failure to protect those he loved. This time had to be different. Because Grace and her baby meant more to him than life itself.

I really enjoyed reading the trials and tribulations of Grace and Sam.  It has U.S. Marshalls, cowboys, a giant ranch, a drug lord, and two people with a lot of misplaced guilt. 

Grace Baker – Not her real name! – is running away from her baby’s father after being a witness against him in court.  He’s a Mexican Drug Lord who escaped from Jail before he was sentenced to life in prison and is now on a crusade to find her and her son, kill Grace and take the child back to Mexico to his mother.  No, Grace is not his girlfriend or willing lover.  She was a 19 year old college student when she was kidnapped by Jose Serrano, the drug lord, to try to control her father’s Spanish Language Newspaper in San Diego.  The father refused so instead of killing her, he kept her and made her his very unwilling mistress.
