    About this ebook

    Noah Larkin is a damaged man. He isn't a hero in the traditional sense. He doesn't do the right thing. He gets into trouble because he lets his heart lead him there, but when your back's against the wall he's the best friend you could ever have. Just ask Margot.

    This is a self-inclusive short ripped from the pages of GOLD, follow up to SILVER, a thriller unmatched coming summer/fall 2011.

      ONLY HAPPY WHEN IT RAINS

      Noah Larkin held the Queen’s head in his hands.

      She looked old now, even on the back of the money. Worn out. And it wasn’t just the fact that the note had been in circulation for the best part of its eighteen month lifecycle. Every line was etched in. The artist showed no mercy. Supposedly they were security features, but as far as Noah was concerned they were just disrespectful.
