GENRE: second chance romance
BLURB:
Time
is ticking on this second chance at romance…
With
a recent promotion and loads of confidence, Chloe Stevens has landed in sunny
LA as a sales director for a leasing company. Quickly picking up on successful
business strategies, Chloe also zeros in on a challenging romance option, Zane
Shepard, an LA city planner. Chloe and Zane quickly discover an intriguing
lust/love attraction, eventually transforming it into the perfect
relationship.
After
a year, Chloe is ready to take the next step, cohabitation, but instead, Zane
blindsides her with the unexpected news of a breakup.
After
months of sleepless nights doubting herself, Chloe decides their breakup
stemmed from the issue of bad timing; she was ready to commit and he wasn’t.
Armed with her theory of choosing future relationships based on matching
timelines, Chloe packs up her damaged heart and moves home to Dallas. She quickly lassos a new love interest, Trey
Morgan; a boyfriend with good timing who’s ready to take the plunge.
Twenty
years later, Chloe’s world unravels when she discovers her marriage to Trey is
riddled with infidelity and lies. Taking on a new job, she’s forced to confront
her past and rebuild the confidence she had in spades when she was younger.
Unexpectedly, she has a chance to take a second stab at romance, but finds her
good timing mantra severely tested.

Excerpt
Two:
I tried to resurrect our happiest moments. It was probably
right after I turned twenty-eight. Trey and I were surprised at how quickly I
got pregnant. My labor had been intense,
almost twenty-four hours of surging pain, coming, going and then relentlessly
returning in a more ferocious onslaught. Trey was my champion through the struggle,
holding my hand, joking with the nurses, encouraging me, bringing ice chips,
making me laugh, playing my favorite songs to distract me. He stuck by me at my worst and was there for
the big reveal.
I still
remembered his excited words. “Sweet baby Jesus, Chloe, she’s coming in for a
landing. It’s her head. Just a little
more. It’s happening, it’s happening. You’re awesome, doing fantastic! She’s so
beautiful, so tiny.”
Then he was crying. Tall, burly Trey was crying like a baby, and
our soft, sweet smelling pink bundle of a daughter was wailing, as a newborn
should. I cried out of relief and my OB nurse and doctor wept from relief. It was one noisy, joyful, wet room. Happy
oozed from every pore of my being and I knew Trey was in the same state of mind
as we held our daughter, gazing down on the miniature oval wrinkled face,
surrounded by wisps of light hair. She cemented us and our marriage in that
moment. There’d been uncertainties before, but we now knew we were in it
together; a strong binding force brought about by a tiny, fragile person.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
I'm a Texas girl: grew up in San Antonio, went to school at UT in
Austin, and settled in Dallas where I raised a husband, two kids and a few
cats. My husband and cats will probably disagree on who raised who, but I'm a
sucker for a robust discussion.
For years I've been involved in retail management, but have also
really enjoyed writing, taking deep dives into the lives of my characters. When
you can pry my fingers off the keyboard, I've been known to imbibe in a few
glasses of wine and have been spotted forking into some decadent desserts while
gathering with friends and family. I enjoy shopping, usually on the hunt for
apparel with a weakness for shoes, and will frequently jump at the opportunity
taking an unexpected trip to a far-away place.
In addition, there’s always time for reading. I keep a stack of
novels ready and waiting on my night stand, with a few tapping their toe in my
Kindle as well. I bounce around genres, snoop around the best-seller lists, and
on the ready for a good recommendation.
