Produktbeschreibung

In mere days, Dr. Suzanne Stephson goes from being on top of the world, to unimaginable and painful despair. She has made LA her home for the past seventeen years and she's worked her butt off to achieve the American dream. Pediatrician to the stars, charming fiancé, independence and happiness are her life. When her mother died of cancer five years ago, she became her little sister's guardian. Their grandmother, Geraldine, helps and although it was a hard transition, they've made it work. Now, without any warning, Suzanne has been hit with the ultimate betrayal. Her fiancé cheated on her, and she is HIV positive.

Stripped of her dignity, she retreats to the only place in the world she feels safe: Texas. With sister and grandmother in tow, the once-famous doctor arrives in her hometown of Brightwood and opens a baby boutique. In her spare time, she volunteers her services as a classically trained pianist to help wounded veterans through music therapy. It's an attempt to heal both her heart and health while assisting others.

A decorated soldier, beloved son and pillar of his community, Jamie Merrick keeps a debilitating secret hidden in the shadows of his Medal of Honor. Though he is in treatment, only Jamie knows the full truth of that fateful night behind enemy lines in Afghanistan. His nation sees him as a hero, but his cowardice haunts his every waking moment. When he learns that his first love has returned home and is volunteering at the VA, his misery begins to subside. Jamie's mother had unfairly driven Suzanne and her family away almost two decades ago, making false accusations of infidelity. Once Jamie lays eyes on Serenity, hope renews for a second chance...and a future.

When a former patient discovers why Suzanne left LA, it sparks a fire Jamie that is speeding toward a cataclysmic end. What happens next will change all of their lives forever.

Poignant and brimming with complex characters, Secrets of War is a spellbinding tale of romance, secrets, and betrayal by author R.D. Jordan.

Autorenporträt

Love comes in many shapes and sizes. Rising Michigan Author Leila Lacey writes from the heart about the trials and tribulations of love and romance from a plus size woman's perspective. With over 12 popular books on Amazon to date, she's steadily claiming her space as a new romantic fiction author to keep an eye on.

Bow down to the curves. That's the philosophy that's motivated romantic fiction author Leila Lacey as she's wrote over a dozen popular books taking a hot and exciting look at love and adventure from a strong, curvy woman's viewpoint. The books have been received with enthusiasm, and it's clear the best is yet to come for these BBW romances (Big Beautiful Woman).

"I think it's important to present strong, beautiful, curvy women that have amazing female to female relationships," commented Lacey, on what motivates her. "If we don't provide alternative role models for people, they could fall into the trap of not loving who is looking them back in the mirror. Romantic fiction should entertain, but it should also help build confidence and a great self-image. I'm trying to cover all these things and more in my books."

According to the author, Lacey had a quite unexpected entry into writing. Although always interested in being a writer she never explored her skills fully until being convinced to join a writing contest. Within 30 days she had finished her first novel, won the contest, and never looked back. An example of a woman with confidence proving to herself, and the world, what can be accomplished when dreams are pursued actively.

Some of her most popular books in the plus size women genre include: Phoenix Rising; A Very Curvy Christmas; Dr. Black's Patient; Love's Legacy; Shelby's Awakening; and many, many more.

Readers have responded to her work with enthusiasm.
