Deceptions: An Obsession Novel

Obsession #3

by Heidi Barnes

After watching associates destroy themselves over something that was not meant to be, Alexei Tremmel made himself a promise. If it was not meant to be, then he would let it go. That is until he met Kirsten Tivon. Now there is nothing he would not do, no one he would not destroy to win her back, even if that someone is Kirsten. The last few years have been anything but easy for Kirsten. Just as she thinks life is settling down, it throws her another curveball, and that’s only the beginning. Pain, lies, hidden love, betrayal and unimaginable loss. How much pain can one woman endure before she breaks, and who will be left in the aftermath to pull her back from the edge?

About the author

My imagination was always thinking up different scenarios for shows I watched, books I read or things that happened in real life. It wasn't until 8th grade when a journal prompt in my English class about walking through the woods and hearing the snap of a twig that I thought about writing down some of those thoughts. That one small paragragh started something that tended to consume a lot of my free time. Most of that 8th-grade journal was filled with the story it started instead of the following journal prompts. It also saved my grade in English as my teacher was interested to see what happened next and I was able to turn in chapters instead of some of the small projects that were assigned. After quite a few years, two kids, a dog, a wonderful husband, the urging from friends and family, and many, many edits later, I decided maybe it was time to see what others thought of my stories. I hope you love reading them as much as I love writing them.
