Love, truth, and pain lie buried beneath the Sunset at Lake Crane . . . Faced with a blackmailer’s ultimatum, 19-year-old Erynn O’Neal protects her lover by disappearing from his life. Brokenhearted, she vanishes—and takes a life-altering secret with her. Grant Alexander crossed the line when he took former student, Erynn O’Neal, as his own a mere two months after her high school graduation. Knowing the truth revealed would shred his career and reputation, he accepted the risks in exchange for the promise of a lifelong love. A heartbeat later, Erynn abandoned him without a word. Years pass as Grant and Erynn lead separate lives–he as a reclusive author, she as an ambitious reporter. Yet, despite scarred hearts, true love lost is never forgotten, and Grant devises a way to draw Erynn back into his sphere of passion. Their aching hearts begin a tentative détente, but old jealousies flare, devastating truths come to light, and Grant and Erynn must resurrect and overcome the painful secrets of the past if they’re ever to love again. Okay folks…this book is for readers 18+. I write open door sex scenes. Wide open! Like, you’ll be right under the covers, in the chair, pinned against the wall, etc. with my heroines. You get the point. This is not an opportunity for a bonding moment between mother and daughter. Well, unless you roll like that. Personally, I don’t. My mother will read this, but we will forever pretend there is no sex in it. She’s a virgin, I’m a virgin. We will dwell in blissful ignorance. But I digress. If open door sex scenes aren’t your jam…don’t buy this book. Don’t be that person who buys the book despite this warning and then slays me in the ratings because you didn’t follow instructions. This work contains explicit language. Again, if this offends you, this is not the book for you. I don’t drop f-bombs every sentence, but you will find some colorful exclamations. Now, if you’re like me, and like sexy geeks, travel adventures, humor, and hot romance…this is the story for you. Enjoy!
