I’d spent eight years of hard work, grueling hours and obsessive attention to detail into building Michaela Dawson Studio into the top choice of wedding photographers on Mimosa Key. But that was all I’d been successful at. No husband, no children, no happy ever after of my own. My short-lived marriage hadn’t gone the distance, but it had taught me a few things. Like how screwed up my priorities had been. And how crushing guilt and shame can haunt you mercilessly. Since then, I’d focused on becoming the person I wanted to be and not the impressionable young woman I had been. And I had a pretty good handle on it. Until he reappeared in my life. My first love. My first lover. The man I’d subconsciously measured all others by. All it took was one searing look, one electrifying touch, and my heart and soul were consumed once again. Still…shadows from the past hung darkly in my mind. No matter how much you love someone—or how much they love you—some secrets are too dark to admit and some betrayals too hard to forgive. Did I dare even try?

Ava Branson is a native Floridian, born and raised. She grew up in a boating family on the Atlantic coast and had sand between her toes from birth. A ten year span spent living in Colorado taught her a love and appreciation of the mountains, but the ocean called her back home and Florida is where she settled, raising two children and any number of cats. When she’s not writing (which is rare) she’s thinking of stories to write (which is always) and just hopes to be able to share a fraction of the countless romances she has dreamed up with readers.
