Just a few short months after her
son’s birth, Charlotte Fallon faces a parent’s worst nightmare. In her darkest
hour, she finds herself abandoned by her husband, Derek, left to deal with her
heartbreak alone. Jobless and with very little money, she fights to regain her
footing.
As the months pass, secrets her
husband managed to bury are unearthed and she wonders if she ever truly knew
him. As the truth continues to come to light, Derek’s business partner and
Charlotte’s friend, Gregory Swift, steps in to help her deal with the
repercussions of her husband’s betrayal.
Seasons come and go, and, as
Charlotte begins to return to life, she realizes that she is much stronger than
she believed. And while a pain this deep can never be forgotten, Charlotte
learns there is room for joy in the future as the wounds heal. Even a winter of
sorrow can eventually warm into a summer of sweetness.
A body curved around
hers from behind her and hands smoothed her hair away from her face.
“It hurts,” she
screamed. “It’s too much. I can’t take it.”
She tried to suck in
a breath but choked and coughed.
“I can’t take
it,” she whispered.
“Give it to me.
I’ll take it for you.” It was Greg who held her.
The primal wail that
had been building in her gut since the funeral had to escape.
Charlotte shrieked as loud and long as she could. When once wasn’t
enough, she did it again. And again.
A native Texan, C.C. grew up either reading or playing the
piano. Years later, she’s still not
grown up and doing the same things.
Since the voices in her head never shut up, C.C. decided to try and
profit from their crazy stories and started writing books.
Now that she has a baby girl at home, C.C.’s non-writing
time is usually spent cleaning up poopy diapers or feeding the poop
machine. Sometimes she teaches piano,
cooks, or spends time bugging her hubby and two beagles.
