Blurb
When tragedy strikes Ethan is
forced to readjust and learn lessons he thought he’d mastered long ago. As life
goes, with darkness comes light. Secrets are revealed, lives torn apart…
I thought losing Lily was hard…
Well, it has nothing on what is at stake now… To lose everything I hold dear
and have to start again is excruciating. “Life’s a bitch and then you
marry one.”
Truer words have never been said.
Everything is dark, shadowed, there is no light, until I meet her. She is my light, my salvation, and strength as I struggle to cope with all the changes in my life.
It’s said God never puts more on your plate than you can handle, but with Ethan’s plate overflowing will he survive all the challenges life throws at him?

A Chance on
Love
by
S.J.
Batsford&Laura B. Martinez
--Kaitlyn--
When I chose to trust the wrong people, I learned the hard way that love and loyalties only go so far… When you go against the grain, against what people want, you become the outsider. Throughout all of my struggles, I've learnt some valuable lessons. Number one; never trust men and number two; your family are the ones who are there for you in your darkest hours, even if they are thousands of miles away.
--Leo--
I work hard and play harder.
Being a successful businessman is something I excel at.
I enjoy a hook up…or two, but a relationship isn’t in the cards for me.
Now, before you judge me, you must know that family means everything to me.
I have responsibilities, big ones…and I take chances all the time…just not on love.

It's the first in a four book series, Loving Lily Series.

Heart, is now available for pre-order on Amazon. It will go Live on Amazon

Question
Throwback
“My question to Heather… What is your favourite type of male
lead?
Eg: Dominant, funny, arrogant…”
And my answer to that is...
Why choose? Why not just take them all. Sharing is caring, after all...teehee. But, seriously, I don't really have a type when it comes to book boyfriends. As long as they aren't complete bossy-@$$ cavemen, or too mushy and romantic, I like them all... 😜
***
If you have ever read any of the Sterling Shore Series by CM Owens , the character "Maverick" is my absolute DREAM!! Lucky for us all, she is getting ready to publish his book... 😍
