After a horrific breakup with her long time boyfriend, Brooklyn Caldwell is completely disenchanted with the notion of mingling with the opposite sex. Damon Williams had been everything she thought she wanted…until he wasn’t.
In an attempt to escape her heartbreaking past, Brooklyn seeks refuge in bustling Washington DC where she folds into the fast paced society unnoticed…until she meets a young entrepreneur, Logan Colton.
Brooklyn is surprised to find that while she has been successful in keeping the opposite sex at bay, somehow she is defenseless against Logan’s confidence and charm—and it doesn’t hurt that he is absurdly beautiful. While thrilled with Logan’s candor, Brooklyn hesitates, as she can’t seem to move past the heartache that she suffered at the hands of Damon.
As much as Logan didn’t plan on pursuing her, he is drawn to Brooklyn’s muted beauty and her witty persona. For all his success, Logan is ensnared in the coveted world of unequivocal wealth and power, but behind closed doors is taunted by demons and an undeniable need to atone for a monumental mistake.
As the two embark on a tumultuous obstacle course saturated with unknown twists and turns, Brooklyn is left to question whether she can endure the journey ahead.

REVIEW! ****
I absolutely adored this book. It was an emotional yet
beautiful story that touched my heart in more than one way. I loved all the
characters in the story and was instantly drawn into the story. I couldn’t put
it down once I started reading.
Brooklyn was such a sweet, caring, and loving person. I couldn’t
help but love her and want the best for her. She had been through so much in
her life, things that I couldn’t imagine going through. My heart went out to
her when I learned all of her secrets. It broke and wanted nothing more than
for her to find her happily ever after and someone who deserved her love.
I was so in love with Logan. He was such a loving, sweet,
and wonderful man. I couldn’t help but fall in love with him and want nothing
more than for him to find his way into Brooklyn’s heart and stay there. He
definitely had his secrets and my heart broke for him as well. I couldn’t
believe what happened to him as a child. Such a horrific thing for a child to
deal with and for him to still be dealing with it and feel guilty hurt me as
well. He deserved to be happy and let the walls he built up fall away so he could
experience something that was beautiful.
I couldn’t help but want more of Logan and Brooklyn’s relationship.
They belonged together. I loved how they fell into each other so well. They
made one another stronger and happier than they’d ever been. I hoped the whole
time that they would stay together regardless of all the things that happened
to them in their pasts. Their pasts definitely kept coming back to take a jab
at them and make things difficult.
Wow! The ending! I am still in shock and left in AWE! I can’t
believe how it ended. My heart is still hurting and I’m so frustrated that it
ended the way it did. I may never get over it until I read the next part of the
story.
I so hope that the next part of the book will bring me some
closure as well as the characters in the book. I highly recommend this book if
you love a beautiful love story with twists and ending that will leave you a
bit crazy.
Excerpt
"I couldn’t breathe. I saw her below me. I couldn’t make out her face, but I knew she was someone close. Something was wrapped around her ankles, I thrust myself deeper into the darkness. The salty red water was all around me. Claps of thunder rang in my ears, but I plunged further into the bottomless abyss. Intense fear gripped my heart valve so tightly I thought it would burst, but I knew she needed me."

Way too many to name!
Have you always wanted to be a writer? Yes and no. I always enjoyed using my creativity. I found pleas-ure in writing short poems and things of that nature. For a while I considered medical school, then law school, but for me, those professions were more of a means to earn a substantial living. My father always told me to choose a profession that I didn’t feel like would be "work." I ended up doing the opposite and pursued my Masters degree. From that point, I acquired a position within the government.
