A Bishop’s Pawn Novella

“Every leap of faith is a judgment call.”

~*~*~

Kelly’s leap took her far from the home she loved and hated.

Freed from the tentacles of her dead mother’s life-destroying choices, she bravely takes on New York City.

Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for the walls to close in and test her in ways she never dreamed.

~*~*~

Matty, on the other hand, burst from his introverted shell like a torpedo and reveled in everything the city offered an endlessly curious, four-year-old boy.

He took the idea of a surprise big brother in his stride too and was over the moon with joy about the family being created right before his eyes.

~*~*~

Their leap of faith also impacted Liam Ashforth and his fiancée, Rhiann Baron-Wilde.

In one fell swoop the starchy, uptight businessman had a grown up sister who wasn’t at all impressed with his nonsense and a little brother who thought he walked on air.

And poor Rhiann—she was left in the middle juggling Liam’s reaction, Kelly’s confusion, Matty’s exuberance and Roman’s surprising behavior.

~*~*~

But what about Roman?

~*~*~

Driving at full speed off a cliff and free falling into a life-changing love wasn’t what he had in mind when Kelly Anne James tumbled into his path.

But that’s what happened.

And if that wasn’t enough, a critical situation from his complicated past that sat quietly simmering on a back burner was starting to boil.

Soon, he’d have to bring his old life into the present and introduce the two.

~*~*~

Into this mix steps the enigmatic Domineau Rivera.

Described by Kelly as an Amazonian warrior wearing a shoulder holster,

she brings a new and surprising perspective on Roman’s past.

~*~*~

Who knew?
