Widow Sarah Johnson struggled to pick up the pieces after
her life was ripped apart. After two
years of grieving, she’s found contentment in her thriving business as
photographer to Hollywood’s A-list and in raising her angel-faced daughter,
Kylee…until bodyguard and long-time friend Ethan Cooke changes everything with
a searing moonlight kiss.
Sarah’s world turns upside down as she struggles with her
unexpected attraction to Ethan and the guilt of betraying her husband’s
memory. But when blue roses and disturbing
notes start appearing on her doorstep, she has no choice but to lean on Ethan
as he fights to save her from a stalker that won’t stop until he has what he
prizes most.
Words from the author:
I love to watch people and am fascinated with psychology—two
key components to great character development in my mind. It’s fun to sit at a
mall, airport, restaurant, or any of the other various places people surround us in everyday life and
observe. Creating compelling characters is a true skill and one I find great
joy in. It’s such a thrill to meet my characters and discover what really
drives them. While writing Falling for Sarah, I found myself diving into dark
and disturbing depths to bring the main villain to life. On more than one occasion he disturbed me so
much I brought my laptop to bed because I was too afraid to stay up alone after
my husband and children had gone to sleep for the night.
Behind the scenes:
After completing Morgan’s Hunter, Ethan and Sarah begged me
to share their story, but I didn’t know where I wanted to take them. I had the
end result in mind, but there are a lot of pages to fill between a beginning
and an end. That all changed one night when I went to the kitchen for a glass
of water. As I turned off the faucet I looked up and caught a glimpse of our
porch pillar through the window. For a
moment, I’d thought someone was there. I had the ‘spooks’ after watching a
particularly disturbing documentary on serial killers. Of course, I laughed it
off but I asked myself, ‘What would it feel like to be watched? What would it
be like to look up and see someone in the window that didn’t belong?’ My imagination took over and the ideas started
flowing. The next day, I started my research on the inner workings of a true
sociopath. Falling for Sarah quickly came together not long after.
Reader Reactions:
“I just read the best book!! Falling for Sarah. It is a must
read! --Shannon Dennett, reader
“I’m reading Falling for Sarah and damn you! Stop making me
cry! I have to skim because if I absorb all the details I will blubber. You are
wonderful at invoking my emotions.” –Jami Snider, reader
“This story moved me in so many ways. I cried and laughed,
gasped, and at times wanted to smack Sarah and Ethan in the head!! There are so
many different kinds of love written into this novel, and some heartbreaking
denial of this love.” --Pat Fordyce, reader and reviewer
