The Story

When love ambushes a woman who expects to be abandoned…

Contemporary romance author Nash Edwards' debut novel is a smart, funny, and sometimes tragic look at what can happen when the mind meddles in matters of the heart.

“You'll fall in love with Eve and Jack and the journey they take…”

“Great book, didn't want to put it down…”

“…witty and entertaining.”

Given up for adoption at birth, Evelyn Louis Stanton has spent her life outrunning a single belief — she isn't good enough. Ambitious, driven, and on the cusp of landing a national anchor job, Eve's convinced everyone she loves will eventually leave. For L.A.'s top investigative reporter, intimacy is only skin deep, and commitment is just another promise waiting to be broken… or so she thinks.

Her next assignment changes everything. No one has ever met Jennifer Bennington — the world's most popular romance author. No interviews. No photos. No public appearances. She's a ghost. And Eve is told to find her.

A single clue leads Eve to a tiny Oregon town called Dead Fish, where she discovers Jack Moorefield — the man she collided with at the airport weeks earlier. The last person she wants to see again, because she hasn't been able to get him out of her head since that fateful day.

From the rugged coast of Oregon to the streets of Chicago, Eve and Jack collide in ways neither expects. Her fear of abandonment and his fear of being seen force them into a truth neither is ready for — where opening their hearts might be the one risk that finally sets them free.
