From the Inside Flap
It just couldn't be. Could it?
I stumbled to stand upright to get a closer look. What I saw made my face blanch, and my feet scrabble backwards like I'd seen a ghost. What's he doing here? . . . Nothing good.
"Get her in the truck," someone directed from the driver seat. I thought that deep voice sounded familiar but couldn't be sure, because my ears were ringing, and I was faint with fear and near exhaustion.
I must've been taking too long to process what was going on, because the door sprang open. A very large, very muscular guy stalked my way, with a determined look upon his face. Somewhere in the recesses of my mind I registered the fact that he was also very good looking.
Oh man . . . not again! It suddenly occurred to me that I'd just jumped from the frying pan into the fire!

About the Author
CJ Daly's love of books began on her family's ranch in New Mexico. While she was supposed to be helping her six siblings with chores, Daly was sneaking behind dusty haybales to read library books and stare at the jets streaking across the endless sky. And dreaming of becoming a writer.
After graduation, Daly moved to Dallas, where she quickly put herself through college while trying to rid herself of her country drawl. She had better luck with college, graduating cum laude with a degree in English literature. After a humorous five-year stint teaching middle school - and pausing to have back-to-back boys - she began writing in earnest. A whirlwind year and countless sleepless nights later, and The Academy Saga serieswas finally born. Armed with a Readers' Favorite seal-of-approval, a Hollywood testimonial, and a deep-seeded belief in herself, CJ finally unveiled The Academy July 2019, where it quickly climbed to Amazon's Best-Seller list for New Releases. The much-anticipated sequel, Cadet-in-Training, is set to launch, like a firecracker, this July 1.
When CJ isn't writing, she can usually be found running from one athletic field to another or feeding the array of wild animals that show up at her back door.
