Out of Time
is book two in a series. It is not a standalone novel. I highly recommend that
you read my first novel, Nine Minutes,
to be able to understand the background stories of the main characters. There
are many twists and turns in both stories that can best be connected if read
consecutively.
Although I do answer all of the outstanding
questions from Nine Minutes, there is
more to this story, and some readers may consider it a cliffhanger. If you do
not like cliffhangers, you may want to wait until the third novel is released
in 2016.
They
thought with his execution it would all be over.
The
leader of one of South Florida’s most notorious and brutal motorcycle gangs has
been put to death by lethal injection. Days later, his family and friends
should have been picking up the pieces, moving on. Instead, they’ve been
catapulted into a world so twisted and dangerous even the most ruthless among
them would be stunned to discover the tangled web of deception, not only on the
dangerous streets of South Florida but all the way to the top.
In
this gripping follow-up novel to Nine
Minutes, Out of Time takes readers from the sun-drenched flatlands of 1950s
Central Florida to the vivid tropical heat of Fort Lauderdale to the halls of
Florida’s Death Row as we finally learn the gritty backstory of Jason “Grizz”
Talbot and the secret he spent his life trying to conceal.
Not
even Grizz’s inner circle knows his full story—the tragedy that enveloped his
early life, the surprise discovery that made him the government’s most wanted
and most feared, and the depths of his love for Ginny, the tenderhearted innocent
he’d once abducted and later made his wife.
Once
Grizz’s obsession and now the mother of his child, Ginny has spent years
grieving the man she’d first resisted and then came to love. Now remarried to
Tommy, a former member of the gang, the pair have spent more than a decade
trying desperately to live a normal existence far from the violent,
crime-ridden world they’d once carved out on the edge of the Florida
Everglades. For Tommy, especially, the stakes are high. Desperately in love
with Ginny for years, he’s finally living his dream: married to the woman he
never thought he could have. But even with the façade of normalcy—thriving
careers, two beautiful children, and a genuinely happy and loving marriage—they
can’t seem to put the past behind them. Every time they turn around, another
secret is revealed, unraveling the very bonds that hold them together.
And
with Grizz finally put to death, now Ginny has learned secrets so dark, so evil
she’s not even sure she can go on.
Will
these secrets tear their love to pieces? And how far will Grizz go to protect
what he still considers his, even from beyond the grave?
OUT OF TIME is the HIGHLY ANTICIPATED sequel to NINE MINUTES where Grizz, Kit & Grunt's gritty tale continues! You aren’t going to want to miss this!

“Yes!
There is something I want for my birthday. Something I really want! I’ve been
thinking about our prom date last year.”
“You
want another romantic night at Martin’s beach house?” He grinned, relieved. A
night making love with Kit at the beach house. Ohhhhh yeahhhh.
“No.
Not the beach house.” She was bouncing in her seat now. “I want you to take me
out! Dancing. I want to go to a club and go dancing.”
His
smile faded and he looked a little deflated. He wasn’t going to tell her his
name. He wasn’t going to go to church with her. How could he tell her no to the
third thing she’d asked for?
“Shit,
baby. You have to know I’m not a dancer. I barely got by with the slow dancing
in Martin’s gazebo.”
“I
want to go dancing, Grizz. Please! The only time I ever get to dance is when I
convince Axel to dance with me in number four. And you know that’s barely ever.
He won’t do it if there are a lot of people at the motel. He doesn’t want to
risk being seen.”
Grizz
had to smile at this. He’d walked in more than once on Axel and Kit dancing to
one of those groups that Kit loved. If you asked him, those guys’ voices
sounded like someone had their balls in a vice. A high-pitched squeal is all he
ever heard and he never stayed around long enough to listen to an entire song.
“Why
do you dance to a song about a bald-headed woman?” He’d asked her once.
Axel
and Kit had stopped and peered at him strangely. “What do you mean by bald
headed woman?” Kit had asked as Grizz turned the stereo down.
“These
guys, who sound like women, are singing about a bald-headed woman,” Grizz replied.
She’d
started laughing. “The Bee Gees are saying ‘more than a woman,’ Grizz. Not
bald-headed woman! The song is called More
Than a Woman and I happen to love it.”
“Whatever
it’s called, it still sucks. I’m outta here.”
Grizz
appreciated that Axel danced with his wife. And yes, he knew Axel’s other
secret, too. He honestly didn’t care. He didn’t care what any guy decided to do
with his dick as long as it was never near his wife. But he also knew he had to
keep Axel’s secret. As leader, he had final say as to who could be in the gang.
Still, he knew not everyone would be tolerant of Axel’s lifestyle. It was just
easier to let it stay a secret. And besides, he was certain nobody suspected a
thing.
“I
don’t dance, Kit.” Grizz said now, shaking his head.
“But
I want to go dancing for my birthday.” She folded her arms and gave him an
accusing look. “You asked!”
He
shook his head slightly and looked at her. “Can’t I just buy you another car?”
