The Butterfly Effect
Audrey Bennet and Jude Harper have just lost their dear friend Daniel, but Danny shared an un-believable secret with them before he passed away. He invented a time machine. After finding it, they decide to leave it untouched and under coded lock and key in Harper’s basement, but fate brings about necessity.
Just when they need him most, Danny is there to help them. Audrey is working hard on a case that should not be happening; she's the unlucky police detective tasked with putting an old woman in jail at the insistence of a heartless tycoon.
When she hears Ruth Harrison's story, she knows she must do everything in her power to help Ruth win her freedom, her life, and get back a bit of her past so she can find peace in her future. Even if it means dragging Jude Harper back in time with her to uncover the truth.
This is a tale of enduring love; love between friends, love between lovers, and the strength that it takes to bind them all together. Harper and Audrey discover that everything that happens in every life, no matter how small, can have a powerful effect; a butterfly effect, that ripples throughout the rest of time.
