\"\"<\/a>The future can be a dangerous place when you changed the past….<\/div>\n

15 minutes is all the Rewind Agency gives a person when they travel to the past, but for Lara Crane it\u2019s enough for her to race through the city, find her mother, and stop her from being killed in a mugging that happened over ten years ago.<\/p>\n

But the story she\u2019s been told all her life is a lie. When Lara takes a bullet meant for her mother, her future changes forever. A new house, new friends and a new boyfriend turns Lara\u2019s life upside down. She thinks if she can save her father from prison, reunite him with her mother, everything will be fine.<\/p>\n

15 Minutes is an edgy high octane YA thriller where the people Lara trusts change in an instant. She is in a timeline she doesn’t understand, and is about to make one fatal mistake as she faces an enemy so familiar, he\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A photo falls from my papers and lands face up.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Her face. Her eyes. It’s like looking in the mirror.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I scoop the picture up and head down the hall. A piano chord strikes. The soft tone echoes toward me, and the digital watch on my wrist beeps. A rush of memories slam into my mind, knocking me off balance. I wobble on my feet as if the collision were physical. I retch, the vomit threatening to spill. Swallowing, it burns like racing lava. I check my watch.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I only have thirteen minutes left.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I don’t bother to look through the doors to find five-year-old me. Instead, I race down the hall, feet gliding across the linoleum. My hood flaps behind me as my body crashes into the elementary school front doors. Blinding sunlight greets me, and I am flying down the hill. My arms pump, and I suck in deep breaths of air, like I learned in my time as a sprinter at Cambridge High.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rounding the corner into Mass Avenue, I see Tower Records off in the distance.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Beep.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I now have ten minutes to run eight blocks in time to save Mom. If I don’t make it, if I fail, I won’t get another shot.<\/div>\n
