This engrossing, plot-driven novel will keep readers glued to the pages... The author creates a love letter to Seattle, such that readers might find themselves planning a trip...An engaging, thought-provoking love story. - Kirkus Reviews
A love both fleeting and eternal...
Sarah and Joe were made for each other. Born at the same instant in the same place, they slept their first night on earth side-by-side in the same hospital nursery. Fast-forward a lifetime of invisible, yet interwoven moments. Both have reached middle-age living separate lives of quiet desperation.
Sarah was once an impressive model of plus-size, can-do, C-Suite fabulousness. Now she's a hopeless housewife feeling invisible to a completely checked-out husband and in dire need of a career reboot. Meanwhile, Hollywood actor Joe, her longtime celebrity crush, is a devoted father of two teenagers - the only glue in his otherwise strained marriage - who just wants to get his indie movie made.
When their lives collide on Joe's location scouting trip, the star-crossed soulmates feel an impossible connection they fight to ignore. But with Fate and Destiny at play, there's no escaping the inevitable truth. They're meant to be together, at least for this one magical moment.
On a whirlwind tour of Seattle, the laughter, music, and intimacies they share bond them more deeply than either dares admit. But with family, home life, and the threat of scandal looming, Sarah joins Joe's film shoot and they surrender to the enchanted love affair that will change their lives and heal their hearts. No matter how it's destined to end.
There are perfect moments we carry with us all our lives.
Always Never Meant To Be is a story for everyone who's ever known the joy of a true love that can't last - or dreamt of a connection so deep that it lasts forever.
This bittersweet, yet uplifting love story is a captivating tale of star-crossed, right person/wrong time soulmates, destined to share a forbidden love that's as inevitable as it is impossible. It is part of the Magical Seattle Series, which are stand-alone titles that can be read in any order.
