Nick of Time John Gilstrap

"A page-turning thriller with strong characters, exciting action, and a big heart." - Heather Graham

A pulse-pounding novel of two young lovers on the ultimate joyride - racing against the clock and against the law.

She's running out of time

Nicki Janssen's days are numbered, but she refuses to accept her fate lying down. Defying her father and doctors, she hits the road with a pocketful of cash, a bus ticket - and a romantic fantasy of riding off with her childhood crush.

He's running from the law

Handsome, dangerous Brad Ward is facing a different kind of sentence. Sent to prison for felony murder, he has escaped and rekindled his relationship with Nicki. But when Nicki's father joins forces with a deputy sheriff, the search for the runaways ignites a manhunt - a blistering chase that accelerates with every stolen car, every act of violence.
