My 2nd novel
Hello everyone!
In my second novel, Saving Face, I bring together a family of the most unlikely people on a ranch in Topanga Canyon, California. Their diverse talents and problems literally save each other’s lives. Each person harbors a secret that affects the other in a good or bad way.
Rosa, the seventy-five-year-old housekeeper, mentors and raises Dani, the heroine, as her own daughter in the absence of her birth mother, who had abandoned her as a child. She fills Dani’s void for love after her father’s death and her bitter divorce.
Rosa’s chicken tortilla soup and margaritas are more than a weekly ritual meal. They’re an excuse to bond with Dani to help her overcome her struggles that often stifle her from moving on with her life. Sometimes, she crosses the line with her manipulations for Dani to see the light.
Lucas, the hero, comes into Dani’s life as a handyman and vet’s assistant when she’s down on her luck. He fixes her broken fences and cares for her horses at the ranch. He breaks her trust in a sizzling love affair with secrets that change her life forever. His guarded special talent saves her life and yet he can't take credit for it.
Dani feels trapped and manipulated by the people she loves the most until Dylan, a troubled teenager with a drug addict mother walks into her life. She identifies with his bottled-up anger and gives him refuge in her art studio. As she rescues the troubled teenager and gives him hope, she finds herself.
Nothing is as it seems on the surface in this story.
Enjoy reading!
