    About this ebook

    This book is the second fiction book in the “Risky Lyrics” series. Once you pick it up and begin reading you’ll embark into a tale told through prose with the meeting of two people whose hanging out turns into a summertime fling. However, that summertime fling and all-nighter turns into an all-out war between parents and lawyers, leaving a family court to decide who is more fit to rule the roost. Who decides what fit is? Who’s going to win the tug-of-war as two parents search for their own version of a happy ending? Can you “lose to win”? A rewrite? A fresh start? How do you react and what do you do when your child starts asking where it all went wrong?

      What’s Your Story?

      When she wasn’t lookin’

      for a cat-and-mouse game

      But didn’t want to be cooped

      up in the house that weekend

      Outta the corner of her eye

      she saw him walking over

      but her glare interrupted his

      stride and he said,

      "Hold up. Don’t shoot a guy

      yet while you’re glowing like

      lilacs in full bloom."

      With that corny line déjà vu

      excavates inventory from

      other wipeouts as he speeds

      up and goes,

      "Even if you’re a hard one

      to crack and you’re out of

      my league by any means

      necessary I need to get to

      know you.

      What’s your story? Are you

      single or married or what?

      Because from my vantage

      point you’re everything a

      businessman would want.
