He thinks he’s finally found the one.
Mitch Mathews never believed in love—at least
not the happily ever after kind. Then he met Simone Conners. Just one
night with the sexy lawyer made him reevaluate his priorities and
look toward a future he never planned. The only hang up is making her
see it too.
She’s almost ready for a second chance.
What started out as a casual hookup with a
rugged geologist has turned into something a whole lot more. Simone’s
on the verge of handing over her heart, but fear over what Mitch will
say and do when he learns who she used to be holds her back.
The past could destroy their future...
Just when Simone is about to take a chance on
forever with Mitch, the mistakes of her past catch up with her.
Suddenly it’s not just her safety on the line anymore, it’s his
too. Forced into hiding, Mitch demands answers, and Simone realizes
the only way to protect everything she holds dear is to delve into a
past she’s spent fourteen years trying to forget. As they search
for the truth, they discover secrets, lies and a rekindled passion
that burns hotter than before. But they also uncover a conspiracy
that threatens the very fabric of society. One that could cost them
more than just their future…it could cost them their lives.
About Elisabeth Naughton:
I was never one of those people who knew they
wanted to be an author at the age of six. I didn’t have imaginary
friends. I didn’t write stories in my journal or entertain my
relatives by firelight after Thanksgiving dinner. For the most part,
I was just a normal, everyday kid. I liked to read, but I wasn’t
exceptional at it. And when my teachers complimented me on my writing
abilities, I brushed them off. I did, however, always have a penchant
for the unique and absurd. And as my mother told me all throughout my
childhood, I should have been an actress—I was a drama queen before
my time.
Years ago, my husband bought me Scarlett:
The Sequel to Gone With The Wind. If you ever saw the book, you
know it’s a long one. I sat and read that thing from cover to
cover, and dreamed of one day being a writer. But I didn’t actually
try my hand at writing until years later when I quit my teaching job
to stay home with my kids. And my husband? After that week of reading
where I neglected him and everything else until I finished Scarlett,
he vowed never to buy me another book again. Little did he know I’d
one day end up sitting at a keyboard all day drafting my own stories.
My writing journey has not been easy. I didn’t
just sit down one day, decide I was going to write a book
and voila! sell my very first attempt. As most
authors will probably agree, the path to publication is filled with
hours of work, pulling all-nighters I thought I’d given up in
college, sacrifices, rejections, but a love I discovered along the
way I just can’t live without. Instead of a big, thick book to read
by lamplight (I do read much smaller ones when I get the chance),
I’ve traded in my reading obsession for a laptop. And I’ve never
been happier.
I’m one of the lucky ones. I have a wonderful
family and fabulous husband who put up with my writing—and
obsessive personality—even when life is chaotic. More than once my
kids have been late to swimming or baseball because I needed just
five more minutes to finish a scene. Their support and encouragement
mean the world to me. I also have amazing friends and a support
network I couldn’t survive without. So to all of you out there who
have encouraged me along the way, sent me emails and fan letters,
phone calls and congratulations, I just want to say, thank you. You
make this whole writing gig that much more enjoyable. I truly
wouldn’t be here without you.
