After one night of shared exploration, leaving Jack Perry was the hardest thing Natalie ever had to do. But leave she did. Life had to go on outside of the walls of his home, after all… “life as it should be.”
Back in Louisiana, Natalie falls into the routine she knows best – giving her attention to her family and business. It’s been almost exactly one year since the tearful goodbye on Jack’s front porch. She gained the closure she sought and put it in the rearview. Until the day she is blindsided by an email she never expected to receive. Jack needs her help.
Thinking fast and making a spur of the moment decision, Natalie finds herself on her way back to the place where she never thought she’d be again. Committed to seeing him through the crisis as his friend with their romantic history tucked away in the past, she arrives to find a scene for which was is unprepared.
As the memories of their time together unfold, Natalie learns there is much more work to be done than she thought. Bracing herself against allowing her inner struggles related to Jack to surface, she sets out taking the actions she hopes will lead to a solution.
But being back in this place is making her feel as if time has stood still. Close proximity to Jack is stirring all the feelings, and desires, she resolved to avoid. His presence and vulnerability is breaking her down and she realizes that maybe her protective barriers weren’t that firmly steeled in the first place.
Then she discovers that one of them has a confession to make. A confession that, if she gives in to her weakness for him, could change everything.

Go on. Would his confession be the same as hers? Or would it be something deeper and unexpected. A plot twist. This is good stuff. I enjoy reading you.
Thanks for reading! You’ll have to wait to find out what the confession is, but I hope you enjoy it when the books come out next year! 🙂
Very intriguing! You’ve got me wanting to read more, to know more… Who is making the confession and what will it lead to?
I’m interested because this is so “real”. I can relate to what I’ve read so far. One night and goodbye, a chance at something great – so mysterious.
Tell me more!
Hi, Shmaria! I really appreciate your comment because making it relatable is at the heart of what I’m after with the series. Not the specific events, of course, but the feelings and desires. Possibly even finding something you didn’t even know you needed. And then losing it because of the direction life has to take.
Stay tuned – the first release date should be happening within the next six months. 🙂
Exactly why I’m interested. Finding something you didn’t know you needed. Six months is a long time! I hope you get it published sooner. How long in between the three books do you think?
The release date is set for February 5th, so it’ll be just a little longer. Then I’m hoping to release the second book in June and the third in December. I’ll keep y’all posted about the progress!
How is this coming along? I’ve read and loved the first book. I was hoping for this to be released soon. I loved reading this little snippet from the book. It makes me more excited for its release.
I read the first book and loved it! I didn’t see the second one yet. Your update here said maybe June. What is your time-line now do you think? I hope it’s soon! So far I thought the series was wonderful.
