Trust is the twentieth book of the I Found My Heart in San Francisco series. HOME AGAIN. AT LAST. Their month in Australia had been wondrous in every way. But four weeks away from home has both Ryan and Jamie missing their family. It's going to be sweet to get back into their regular routine. Now that Jennie's in the mix, things will change a little, but the O'Flaherty-Evans-Smith team is eager to welcome her into the clan. But things rarely go exactly as planned when Jennie is involved. Catherine's determination to provide a safe, secure home for the girl is strong. It remains to be seen if it's strong enough to reach the wounded parts of Jennie's psyche. Ryan's ready to get back to work as an unpaid laborer, and Jamie's just as eager to return to her life of leisure. Two people could hardly have more diverse definitions of "taking time off." Given that Ryan's always got a few irons in the fire, it's no surprise she's ready to take aggressive action to flush away the vestiges of the carjacking. Whether she can do that by force of will is another question that awaits an answer. Now that Mia and Jordan are back in Berkeley, they have to get their own routine going. Mia's certain she can find a lucrative career with her American Studies degree in her clutches, but Jordan's resigned to low wages and a bad schedule while she finishes up her degree. While they're both very thankful to be back home, closeness simply gives Mia and Anna Lisa more opportunities to drive each other crazy-something they're both masters at. The O'Flaherty Cousins construction project is rolling along at a good clip. But the boyos have put in a tremendous amount of work, giving up every weekend to complete the task. Now it's decision time again. Will the rewards make up for the sacrifices? Every relationship has its challenges. But most of them can be overcome by love and commitment and, most of all, Trust.

She and her partner moved to the Los Angeles area in the late 80's. It was there that she started to write.

She has partnered with other authors on two short story books and has written many stories that have been published in other mainstream anthologies. Susan is active in the lesbian author community and loves to attend Women's week at Provincetown and the GCLS annual conventions. Her stories revolve around the relationships that two women can build when given a chance and how those relationships can strengthen the individual and the partnership. Her genre is lesbian romance/fiction and she believes strongly in the happy ending that we all so deserve. Susan X Meagher was awarded a 2011 Lesbian Fiction Readers’ Choice Award for Favorite Lesbian Fiction Writer. She is the recipient of the 2014 Alice B. Medal for her body of work. From the author's website: I live in New York with my spouse, Carrie. We've lived in Chicago and Los Angeles for significant periods, but New York fits us very well. I love to discuss my work and fiction in general. My goal in writing is to explore feelings. I want to entertain, but I also want to make people think. I've heard that life is all about finding out who we are. To me, life if about finding out who other people are. I'm interested in the small details of life, that's how a story about two young women in college is slowly becoming a 26 book series. The joke in Seinfield was that it was about nothing. I feel the same about most of my books. They are about the many things that happen when nothing is happening. The small joys and sorrows of everyday life can be fascinating, especially if you care about the people involved. I try to create characters that will make a reader care deeply. I'm always interested in hearing how close I am to that goal. So please drop me a line whenever you have a comment or a question about a story. Writing is a pretty solitary pursuit and it's great to know that I'm not alone.
