Happy New Year!

I’m celebrating a new year and a new book! The One You Fight For, book 3 in my The Ones Who Got Away series, is out today!

I’m really excited to share this one with you. It was the hardest book I’ve ever had to write, but I’m really proud of this story. You don’t have to have read the previous two books to jump in here but reading them in order can enhance the experience.

I wrote this one because I really wanted to explore the school shooting tragedy from an angle I (and I think a lot of other people) don’t often think about. What happens to the people in the perpetrators family? How do they go on with their lives after their loved one did something so horrible and so public?

The hero, Shaw Miller, is the older brother of one of the shooters. Taryn, the heroine, survived the shooting but lost her sister in the tragedy. Bringing the two of these two people together was an emotional journey, but I hope you’ll go along with them and see them through to their happy ending.

Here are the official details about the book:

How hard would you fight for the one you love?

Taryn Landry was there that awful night fourteen years ago when Long Acre changed from the name of a town to the title of a national tragedy. Everyone knows she lost her younger sister. No one knows it was her fault. Since then, psychology professor Taryn has dedicated her life’s work to preventing something like that from ever happening again. Falling in love was never part of the plan…

Shaw Miller has spent more than a decade dealing with the fallout of his brother’s horrific actions. After losing everything—his chance at Olympic gold, his family, almost his sanity—he’s changed his name, his look, and he’s finally starting a new life. As long as he keeps a low profile and his identity secret, everything will be okay, right?

When the world and everyone you know defines you by one catastrophic tragedy…

How do you find your happy ending?

Also available in audiobook: Recorded Books | Audible

I hope you enjoy this one and have a fantastic 2019 full of happy reading!

I'm so excited to finally be able to share Taryn's cover with, y'all! Today USA Today's HEA blog is revealing the cover of The One You Fight For along with four other new covers coming out from Amanda Heger, Kait Ballenger, Samantha Chase and Connie Mann!

Pop on over to the HEA blog to see Taryn's cover. I'm so in love with it, y'all! The model looks so much like how I imagine Taryn--so much so that I ended up changing the hero's hair color to match the guy on the cover with her, lol. Shaw was originally dark-haired but when I saw this cover option, I was like welp, guess he's going to turn blond! Plus, the guy on the cover is hot so no hardship. ;)
