Santos, retired from the Navy, returns home to his family in Simi Valley, California. His family included Amber’s family, because Santos and Amber’s dads had been friends nearly all their lives.
After being inseparable since childhood, Amber and Santos hadn’t spoken since he had shipped out with the Navy while Amber had attended Northwestern University. Then she remained in Illinois after graduating as a forensic accountant.
An argument after they graduated from high school led to a break-up between Santos and Amber, but even now, after all the years that had passed, Santos knew Amber was the only girl he’d ever loved—would ever love—and sets out to win her back.
I wrote my first novel at the age of six. It was titled “The Mouse,” and was two pages long—including illustrations! My mother saved that first edition and every now and then, I take it out and smile over it.
When my beloved husband of many years suddenly died, I’d come home after a long day of work and write. Writing allowed me to pour out all my sadness. Then, the more I wrote, the more I realized I would go on. I would be happy, I had a lot of living to do, and love stories to tell.
I’m published now in Romance novels and an anthology of short stories. But my first two manuscripts still reside on a CD somewhere in my house. I can’t bear to erase them because they’re mine, they’re loved, and like a crazy relative one hides in the attic, they reside in a quiet, safe place.
