Like so many authors, I’m a hybrid–part writer, part editor, part marketer, part sloth…
JK. A hybrid author has some traditionally published books and some indie published books, like my writer pal Charlotte O’Shay, who’s here today to squee about her first-ever indie title: My Only One. To celebrate, she’s offering a chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card! Take it away, Charlotte.
Thank you, Sadira for the opportunity to visit you and your readers and show off the awesome cover of MY ONLY ONE my upcoming, first-in-series, romantic suspense. I’m feeling all the emotions right now, excited to tell you all about this story and new series. But I’m also terrified and gratified because MY ONLY ONE is my first indie book.
MY ONLY ONE is a friends to lovers, romantic suspense. The story of the reconnection of eldest son, Shane with girl-next-door, Esme and their dangerous road to happily ever after.
Shane is one of seven siblings who grew up on Manhattan’s west side. The story is fiction but the setting of a big, working class family from New York City is terrain I know intimately. Each romance in the series follows one of the Fortunato siblings on their unique journey to find the one. Other separate stories in this series are the prologue to MY ONLY ONE, a behind the scenes look at Shane and Esme’s younger years, a Christmas romance with a close friend of another one of the Fortunato siblings and the how they met story of Clare and Joe Fortunato, parents of the brood. Stay in touch with me via my newsletter for info on each release as it becomes available.
Esme:
We grew up in side-by-side New York City tenements. Shane was my first friend, my first crush, and when he enlisted, my unforgettable heartbreak. Fate brings us back together after ten years, and I’m in a world of danger. But I’m not a kid anymore and I know what I want. Shane and I have a second chance at forever and there’s no way I’ll lose him again.
Shane:
Brilliant, beautiful, bound for success, Esme was the girl next door and a temptation I had to resist. I was too old for her, but I couldn’t forget her. When we meet again after ten long years, she’s caught in the crosshairs of a deadly drug kingpin. But I wear a badge now. Nothing will stop me from protecting the woman who claimed me—heart and soul—so long ago. I’ll keep Esme safe or die trying.
Time’s running out for Esme to pay her father’s debt to the cartel.
