Deep Blue Eternity

2015 Chatelaine Awards for Romantic Fiction FINALIST

Livvy is on the run. And she's escaped to the one place nobody will ever find her.

But the isolated cottage isn't empty. Her refuge is home to a troubled stranger, Tom, there for reasons of his own.

In the intimacy of the abandoned cottage, and the remote wilderness of Daufuskie Island, off the Carolina coast, the electrifying connection between them is impossible to ignore. Both running from their histories and shielding dark secrets, their pasts catch up with them and collide in an unimaginable way.

Deep emotions and powerful chemistry face a painful battle with the tangle of lies, and scars of the past. When the truth emerges, hearts will be shattered.

Author Q & A from Xpresso Books

Tell us about your current release release?
My new release is DEEP BLUE ETERNITY. I am so excited about this book. It's a definite departure from the world of EVERSEA but no less true to my writing style. I love deeply emotional characters, enjoy bringing them from someone you don't feel sure about to someone you root for, and of course, slow burn chemistry that explodes. Formerly known as The Cottage (and funnily enough the cottage in the book is almost like an additional character in the story, bearing witness to the love story), my UK publisher felt that Deep Blue Eternity, a phrase used in the book to describe love would be a better fit. And I agree! Why didn't I think of it first?

What genre would you say the book is?
Contemporary definitely, as it is present day. And of course romance. However, there is a suspenseful and gothic undertone to the story as it is set in an area rife with superstition. All my novels to date have been set in the sweaty, sultry, southern USA and this is no exception. Deep Blue Eternity is actually set on Daufuskie Island, a wonderfully mysterious, beautiful but primitive island on the South Carolina coast only accessible by boat.

If you had to sum your book up in 30 or less words, what would you say?
DEEP BLUE ETERNITY is a deeply emotional book and while it deals with some tough issues, it's actually about the aftermath and recovery of those things in our past. It's about forgiveness and it's about how falling in love changes us and allows us to grow and stitch the holes in our soul back together.

Thank you!
