Shifting Sands

The Angry One had wanted her from the very first time he had laid eyes on her; with her fiery-red hair and laser-green eyes. And she had wanted him as well. But as is typical of women, she tried to play coy with him and had told him no with her pouty lips. He smiled to himself, but he knew the game. He knew what she was really saying; she wanted to be pursued. She wanted him to earn his prize. So he had boldly taken up the challenge and like a quarterback jockeying for position, he had weaved first this way, then that. But it seemed no matter what he had done, she had somehow escaped his grasp. Colorado Springs detective Tess Champion thought her life would return to normal once she moved back home and away from the nightmare she endured in Aurora. Then suddenly a woman from her past is found dead, accompanied by an hourglasses and poem. Who is this killer? A copycat? The original Hourglass Killer is dead....right? In the midst of trying to find a killer, new and past love present themselves and Tess is forced to decide a course for her life. Will the killer be found before he has a chance to end her new life or the lives of those she loves?
