I can’t wait to see what the future holds for all of us. One thing is for sure, I know we’re surrounded by love.
The End
Also by Hollis Wynn
Bent (A Love’s Complicated Novel)
Carrigan Castle may be broken but she’s finally free. Free of the bonds holding her back. Free of her painful past. Free just to be. With the death of her mother, it’s time to leave her small town behind and find her own way—even if it means letting go of her ideals.
A cross-country trip is about to take her to a brand-new life she never imagined. When Whit Barklay unexpectedly enters the picture, she begins the ride of her life—one filled with thrills and twists and turns. It’s time to figure out where she belongs. It’s time to find her way. Will Whit detour Carrigan from finding her true chance at happiness? Or will he be her North Star, pointing her to a better life with him?
One cross-country train ride to a brand-new life. One man she never expected. One relationship she’s too scared to begin. One risk she may not be willing to take . . .
Unless he can show her she’s only bent and not broken.
About the Author
Hollis Wynn is a thirty-something gypsy who lives for adventure and calls home anywhere that she lays her head.
On her wandering she can’t live without three things... music, books and her Yorkie-Poo Boston!
Hollis has been writing stories for years and after successfully running the White Hot Reads blog, she finally gave in to her passion and took the publishing leap!
When she’s penning stories where life and love collide, you’ll find her desk covered in empty wine glasses, gluten free cupcake crumbs and multiple drafts of her latest WIP covered in ink (pink of course)!
Acknowledgments
I heard one time that writing is solitary and the person who said it is correct. The act of actually writing and putting it down on paper is very solitary. But publishing, wow, it takes a village. My village is phenomenal and I can’t thank them enough for their support.
A huge shout out to everyone who supported me in this process. Because I’m forgetful I will inadvertently leave someone out and I’m sorry. Thank you to everyone who supported me and believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself.
To my family. Thank you for supporting my dreams. Maybe one day you’ll read this but if not, I’ll continue to regale you with stories of the people who live in my head.
To Lana Berry. Twenty(ish) years ago we met in the freshmen dorms. I couldn’t have imagined the role you’d play in my life, however, I’m so damn glad we met, bonded and have stayed in touch all these years. Thank you for supporting me as I galavant all over the world.
To my NY ladies. Thanks for the FaceTime Wine Nights, love and compassion you’ve shown me. I never imagined how life could change in such a short amount of time. You’re a part of my soul and wherever I go, you will go with me. Remember “It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.” ~ Alice in Wonderland
To Andrea Johnson, Missy Boruki and Becca Manuel. Thank you for the love, support, laughs and everything you’ve done to help me get this manuscript into shape for the world to read. You are wonderful women and I’m glad you’re part of my tribe.
To Ande. I don’t even know what to say. You get me and my vision for what my covers need to be. Thank you for bringing Matt & Amber’s cover to life. I adore you!
To JoAnna. Your support and love is invaluable to authors like myself. Thank you for the shares, the chats and the assistance.
To my ladies Martha, Misty, Anita, Ginelle and MiChelle - the laughs, feedback, feels, need to maim my characters are all part of the process and it has been so much fun.
To Wendy and Claire at Bare Naked Words. I’m so excited that you took a chance on a new to you author. Without your assistance Bent wouldn’t have made it to the readers.
To the readers. Thank you for giving this new author a chance. There aren’t words to describe how much it means to me that you gave me a chance. Thank you for reading and sharing.
Remember to just, breathe.
