Happy Valentine’s Day! I have a new novel for you!
Synopsis:
Life can change in a heartbeat. No one knows that better than Nick Carter. After an unexpected loss leads to an estrangement from his wife, he finds himself in the Florida Keys, broken-hearted and alone… until a chance encounter changes everything.
This has been a long time coming! I got the idea for this story toward the very end of writing Sick as My Secrets in June 2017. I spent two days obsessively researching and outlining to get it out of my system, but didn’t start trying to write it until I finished SAMS. It took me three tries to get the version I’m posting today. I started the first version later that summer, the second version that December, and the third (and final) version last July. I have been working on it ever since – pretty consistently since November – but I’ve been nervous about posting it, in part because I don’t want to flake out on it like I’ve done with certain other stories, but also because of its content. I always get a little nervous posting new novels and feel the need to include some kind of disclaimer when I worry I may have gone too far with the drama. This story deals with a topic that I once said I “wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole” – which I now know means I was totally going to go there someday! It only took me ten years. All I’m going to say in the way of a disclaimer is that this story is going to be another roller coaster.
Consider yourself warned.
The first chapter has been posted. It takes place on Halloween, not Valentine’s Day, but I didn’t want to wait until October to post it. I’ll be back over the weekend with Chapter 2. Enjoy the ride!
